"He barely jumped lmao": NBA fans in disbelief as Victor Wembanyama's alien block on Pat Connaughton defies physics

The matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs featured an individual battle between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama. With both players considered generational talents, the 2023 No. 1 pick has the length along with the quickness that the NBA has never seen before.

During the fourth quarter, the game was tied at 104-all with the ball in Milwaukee's hands. A pass by Brook Lopez to Pat Counnaghton who is standing in the corner wanting to hoist up a 3-pointer.

He was challenged by Victor Wembanyama who came from the painted area to tip the three-pointer, deflecting the shot. This highlight by the French big man left the Frost Bank Arena in awe and the internet on fire:

One fan commented that Wemby did not even try to jump that high to block the shot.

Another blamed Brook Lopez for the slow swing pass to the corner that Wembanyama anticipated.

Another X handle crowned the 7-foot-4 big man as the next NBA Rookie of the Year with Vince Carter's "It's over" GIF.

One fan said that Connaughton should have faked the shot first to assess the situation while another saw that the 3-pointer was not necessary.

Of course, the highlight has a lot of awestruck fan moments:
