Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wenbanyama is doing things that 7’3″ centers should not be able to do.
Wemby dished out an insane, behind-the-back, no-look dime to teammate Julian Champagnie during a Wednesday night contest between his San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks
Champagnie drained the open-look three-pointer.

Mark my words, this kid is going to be the best player in the NBA some day. A seven-footer who blocks more shots than an Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System and throws a prettier pass than Magic Johnson … that’s the definition of a unicorn.
Wembanyama is only 20 years old, and he’s already accomplishing feats of epic proportions. His 10-block triple-double on Monday puts him in rarefied air — he’s only the 23rd player to do so, according to Statmuse.
He’s averaging a double-double with 20.5 points and 10 rebounds per game to go with his 3.2 assists and league-leading 3.2 blocks per game. (RELATED: Projected No. 1 NBA Draft Pick Puts Up Absolutely Insane Dunk That Had Fans Going Crazy)
And he’s regularly dishing out absurd passes like this one:

It’s no wonder the Spurs took a chance on him with the first overall pick.
I can’t get enough of Wemby. His team currently sucks, but if they pair him with a star or two, I could see him being the dominant superstar of the next half-decade. He’s that good.
How are you supposed to defend a seven-footer who passes like this?
