Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs makes sure everyone takes notice as he is bulldozing his way to the basket, regardless of who stands in the way.
The latest casualty is Thomas Bryant of the Miami Heat. Despite his 6-foot-10 frame, Bryant could do nothing to stop the 7-foot-4 beanpole from slamming the ball into the cylinder. Worse, his reaction after the poster was caught on the video, an epic response that has now gone viral over social media.

Wembanyama finished with a game-high 23 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
Bryant was the second player to go viral after Wemby previously flexed himself against another top rookie, Chet Holmgreen of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The only difference is that Holmgreen and the Thunder won in that preseason matchup, 122-121, Bleacher Report reported.
Wembanyama a cinch for Rookie of the Year?
Although he has been wowing in the preseason, the real test for Victor Wembanyama is the regular season. Most know things are entirely different when all the NBA superstars are on deck.
Assuming he can stay the course, there is rarely reason to doubt that the French national will be a shoo-in to win NBA Rookie of the Year honors, NBA.com reported.
Standing in his way, however, is Holmgreen, who missed the whole of last season with a Lisfranc injury. Aside from him, there is also another talented young player in Portland - Scoot Henderson.
This early, the 19-year-old guard is showing promise. He has already made an impression on Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns.
"I think he's going to be really good. Obviously we all have some things to learn, but it looks like he loves the game, has a high IQ for it, a body built for [it] and his athleticism is off the charts," the three-time NBA All-Star said to Kellan Olson of Empire of the Suns and Arizona Sports.
