NBA Rookie Victor Wembanyama Embraces Being Posterized, Focuses on Defensive Impact

French NBA rookie Victor Wembanyama is taking the league by storm, not just with his imposing 7-foot-4 frame, but also with his unflinching attitude towards being posterized on the court.

During a recent matchup between Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson-Davis threw down a thunderous dunk over the towering rookie, capturing the attention of basketball fans everywhere.

Despite the viral nature of the dunk, Wembanyama remained calm and collected, reflecting on the incident as just another part of the game.

In a post-game interview conducted in French, Wembanyama shared his perspective, stating, ‘Getting dunked on is nothing. It’s part of the game. I dunk on a lot of people and a lot of people dunk on me too.’

Wembanyama, known for his shot-blocking prowess, leads the league with an impressive 195 blocks in his debut NBA season, showcasing his defensive impact on the court.

While the dunk by Jackson-Davis drew praise from teammates and fans alike, Wembanyama’s focus remains on his overall defensive contributions and the positive aspects of his game.
