Watch: Spurs' Victor Wembanyama delivers most casual block of the season

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Feb 7, 2025 9:10 PM ET

San Antonio Spurs second-year standout Victor Wembanyama is the most dominant shot-blocker in the NBA, and he tends to sometimes make it look easy.

That is one of the advantages to being 7-foot-3 and a dynamic athlete on top of that.

But his block on Charlotte's DaQuan Jeffries on Friday night did not require much of the athleticism, and was simply the result of him being a physical giant.

Watch as he rejects Jeffries by not even needing to jump, but simply extending his arm and basically palming the basketball away from Jeffries.

That is like when your much older, much taller brother is messing with you in the parking lot when you are a kid and not letting you even attempt a shot. Except in this case, that is another NBA player that he is doing that to. It is simply a ridiculous play.

Wembanyama entered play on Friday averaging 3.9 blocks per game, by far the highest mark in the league. No other player is averaging more than 2.4 blocks, while Utah's Walker Kessler and Dallas' Anthony Davis are the only other players in the league averaging more than two blocks per game.
