Victor Wembanyama showcased his incredible talent during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, capturing attention with a powerful dunk over Bronny James. This matchup on November 14, 2025, marked Wembanyama’s first visit to Los Angeles this season.
Wembanyama’s Dominance on the Court
The 21-year-old center, standing at 7 feet 4 inches, had been making waves in the NBA. With an impressive shooting percentage of 84.6% on shots within three feet, he entered the game against the Lakers with exceptional statistics. Wembanyama averaged 26.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, and led the league with 4.7 blocks per game.
An Impressive Dunk Over Bronny James
During the second quarter, Wembanyama made headlines by dunking over Lakers guard Bronny James. After pump-faking Rui Hachimura, Wembanyama soared for the dunk, forcing James to leap in an attempt to contest the shot. Unfortunately for James, it seemed he realized mid-air that challenging Wembanyama was a daunting task.
Game Highlights and Challenges
ESPN analyst Richard Jefferson praised Wembanyama’s earlier dunk against the Dallas Mavericks, calling it the greatest highlight he had ever witnessed. However, in this game against the Lakers, Wembanyama faced challenges, playing only 16 minutes in the first half due to foul trouble. He picked up his third foul early in the second quarter.
- Wembanyama’s Stats Before the Game:
- Points: 26.7
