Alas, Wembanyama, the far-and-away front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, can make titans look like Spud Webb. The Spurs’ second-year stud did not block the unblockable shot. Instead, he pulled off something more impressive.

According to the NBA's most recent MVP ladder, Wembanyama is fourth in the running to win the Michael Jordan Trophy, behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. His two dominant performances against Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are key reasons why he jumped ahead from the fifth spot, passing Jayson Tatum.

Then, as if he was in a casual morning shootaround, Wembanyama took one dribble to his left and drilled a 28-foot, one-legged three-pointer as the crowd at the Fiserv Forum ooed and ahhed.

More importantly, they combined for this highlight, which feels like something you'd see between two created players on a video game. After the game, Antetokounmpo had some high praise for his younger competitor, predicting that barring something strange or unfortunate, Wemby will be the face of the NBA for years to come.
