Video: Victor Wembanyama Says He Wants to Dunk on Rudy Gobert, Kawhi Leonard, More

Victor Wembanyama says he would like to dunk on defending Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert during his second season with the Houston Spurs.

"I would say the best defenders would be the biggest challenges, so of course Rudy, my guy Rudy Gobert," Wembanyama when asked about who he would most like to dunk on by CBS Sports' Ashley Nicole Moss (6:45 mark of the video below.) "I think Kawhi [Leonard] would be... because all these guys, I just respect them so much in the defensive end that it would be incredible to dunk on them."

Wembanyama continued: "I would say the third one would be Jonathan Isaac. He's, I think, a really, really underrated defender."

When asked what former NBA players he would most like to try the move against, Wembanyama named Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain.

It makes sense that Wembanyama would want to beat Gobert at the post after the Minnesota Timberwolves star dunked on the rookie during a Spurs loss on Feb. 27.

Gobert and Wembanyama most recently connected as teammates while serving as the anchor of Team France's defense on their way to a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Leonard, who was unable to play for the gold-medal-winning Team USA due to issues with his surgically-repaired knee, says he expects to be ready for the Los Angeles Clippers' season opener, while Jonathan Issac will be back with the Orlando Magic after renegotiating and extending his contract in July.

That means all three should be available to take on Wembanyama this season, starting with the Spurs' back-to-back matchups against the Timberwolves on Nov. 2 and at the Clippers on Nov. 4.

Wembanyama will look to follow up his Rookie of the Year season with more highlight-reel dunks as he combines with veteran point guard Chris Paul in the hopes of leading the Spurs back into the playoffs, starting with Oct. 24's regular season opener on the road against Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks.
