Everything Wemby Said About Trending Half-Court Shot Video, Spurs' Game 4 Win vs. Thunder

Victor Wembanyama closed out the first half of Sunday night's 103-82 stomping of the Oklahoma City Thunder with a ridiculous heave from halfcourt, taking his team into the locker room with a 12-point lead.

"I was thinking shoot to score," he told reporters after the game. "I wasn't messing around at halftime."

He also spoke about the team making the necessary adjustments to win on Sunday, evening Western Conference Finals at two games apiece.

"There's definitely similarities [between basketball and chess], as in any strategy game," he told reporters when asked how basketball adjustments compare to chess. "It's very fun. In the playoffs, at some point—especially when a series drags on—everybody knows the other team almost by heart. It's different. I would say the coaches hold a lot of the load of the chess match, the coaching staff. All of the strategy, it's a lot. They [watch] a lot of film, they work really hard."

Of course, any strategy becomes easier with a player like Wemby on the court. The superstar big man scored 33 points to go along with eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in Game 4 and was a ridiculous plus-29.

He's very, very good. Newsflash, we know.

But it's how Wemby does otherwise routine things that makes him so unique. The almost effortlessly way he looms above the rim, altering shots or outright rejecting them. How he gracefully maneuvers his body, at all three levels on the court, creating open looks for himself.

Or on Sunday night, how he managed to sink a shot from halfcourt as though he was a guard sliding himself into shooting position. This isn't your father's big man.

And the reaction to that shot on social media really told the story:

There's nobody quite like him, and it becomes more apparent by the game.
