Zach Edey effortlessly dunks over Victor Wembanyama during the Grizzlies-Spurs Clash

On By Littum

Not many players would try to dunk over Victor Wembanyama.

You have to catch him at the right angle, perhaps with his head turned, to have any chance of getting anything from the NBA’s leading shot blocker. Perhaps the only player who might want to try Wembanyama on the wing is Memphis Grizzlies rookie big man Zach Edey.

Edey, who stands at 7’4″ compared to Wembanyama’s 7’3″, got the best of the Spurs’ phenom early in the first quarter Wednesday when the Grizzlies were in San Antonio.

Edey received a pass from Ja Morant at the low post and sidestepped Wembanyama before going up and over for a huge slam.

The two 7-footers met at the edge and Edey won the match.

He got the best of Wembanyama’s incredibly long frame this time. There is another rematch between the two young big men as the Grizzlies (25-15) and Spurs (19-19) meet again on Friday.
