Victor Wembanyama blocked at the rim? Six-foot-nine Isaiah Jackson pulls off unlikely feat

Here’s how you already know Victor Wembanyama isn’t standard: He will get his shot blocked at the rim, and Twitter is in an uproar. This occurs to everybody at one level or any other. It’s going to occur to Wembanyama once more at some level. But the first time seeing it occur remains to be just a little jarring. 

Even extra sudden is the man who made the block: Indiana’s Isaiah Jackson, who stands 6-foot-9 in comparison to Wembanyama’s 7-foot-4 and eight-foot wingspan. 

Credit Jackson for coming to the support of Aaron Nesmith, who was once much more oversized at 6-foot-6, and assembly Wembanyama at the apex. That’s asking to be an additional in Wembanyama’s poster, however he timed that play completely. 

Working in Jackson’s prefer was once how a ways clear of the rim Wembanyama took off from, however we now have already observed him throw dunks down from approach outdoor the standard launching issues in the early going. 

This one was once on its strategy to being flushed, too. But Jackson had different plans, and it led to one in all the highlights blocks of the season up to now.
