[Saba Sports News] Victor Wembanyama might just be the tallest juggler ever. The San Antonio Spurs’ towering rookie went viral on social media for his eye-catching warmup routine ahead of Thursday’s season opener against the Dallas Mavericks.
While preparing in the tunnels of Dallas’ American Airlines Center, Wembanyama casually stretched his legs while juggling, showing off not only his athleticism but also his remarkable balance and coordination.
The clip quickly gained attention online, posted by the NBA’s official X account, as fans were mesmerized by the 7-foot-3 phenom’s skillful display.
Watching Wembanyama juggle was like something out of a sci-fi film—his height and fluid movements giving the scene an almost surreal quality. For the Spurs rookie, this unique warmup is likely a beneficial exercise, enhancing his hand-eye coordination, focus, and sense of rhythm, all of which are valuable on the court.
Remarkably, this isn’t Wembanyama’s first time going viral with juggling; back in France, he drew attention juggling full-sized basketballs, a sight as mesmerizing as it was unexpected. With moments like this, Wembanyama continues to captivate fans and prove there’s much more to his game—and personality—than meets the eye.
