在孟菲斯一个寒冷的三月之夜，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 坐在联邦快递球馆客队更衣室的座位上，将一只脚伸进装满冰水的橙色冰桶里。
在文班亚马的右侧，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 正在角落里穿衣服，这让这位法国球星不太愿意开始他的赛后采访。于是，文班亚马告诉围在他更衣柜旁的记者们，等大家都停止手机录音后，他才会开始接受采访。
“我罩着你呢，”他对着还在穿衣服的瓦塞尔说道。
当文班亚马接过第一个问题时，他注意到有人还在录音。
“你还在录吗？”他问道。
“没，没，没，”一位记者回答道，“我们停了，停了。”
一名马刺队工作人员发现他们并没停。文班亚马也发现了。
于是，他抓起自己的手机，打开手电筒对着这群人，一边看向别处一边模仿记者的样子。
文班亚马瞪大眼睛假装无辜，咯咯笑着开玩笑说：“没，我没在（录音）。”队友、工作人员和记者团顿时爆发出一阵大笑。这个恶作剧成了文班亚马在场外最有趣的“名场面”之一。
几秒钟后，他开始费力地筛选自己在场上的最佳时刻。
“在第一场比赛，也就是赛季揭幕战中，有很多精彩瞬间，”文班亚马告诉 ESPN，“比如我在[对阵独行侠的揭幕战中]那个反手 2+1 扣篮。我不觉得那是我最好的扣篮，但在那一刻，[那球的]反应最热烈。其实不对，应该是晃过德里克·莱夫利 (Dereck Lively) 投中的那个 3+1。那球的反应才是最疯狂的，那是我的最爱。”
就在孟菲斯的那个晚上，马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 也在绞尽脑汁回想他心目中文班亚马的最佳进球。
“我最喜欢的维克托表现通常始于他的防守姿态，”约翰逊说道，“我这么说是因为当你仔细观察录像时，当他摆出防守架势，通常意味着他在精神上已经高度集中了。”
“当我们全速冲刺进行攻防转换时，他会给队友传出一记精准的长传助攻三分。偶尔，他也会自己接球完成扣篮。那些让人惊叹的集锦总是能获得巨大的关注，但其他的表现同样令人印象深刻。那些回合有时会让你惊掉下巴，而也许我们现在已经开始习以为常，不再感到惊讶了。这对那些球员的表现是不公平的。”
本赛季，文班亚马在 NBA 社交媒体渠道上的视频播放量（24.3 亿次）位居全联盟第二，仅次于勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James)（28.5 亿次）。他创造了大量令人惊叹的病毒式传播瞬间，而随着圣安东尼奥马刺队将在周日迎来 2017 年以来的首个季后赛系列赛（对阵波特兰开拓者队），更多的名场面可能即将上演。
为了迎接文班亚马的季后赛首秀，以下是根据他本人的喜好以及对教练和队友的非正式调查，按时间顺序排列的 2025-26 常规赛十大精彩进球和瞬间。
“51区”反手空接暴扣，10月22日客场对阵达拉斯独行侠
马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在谈到这一球时眼神发亮，称这一刻是“比赛的转折点”，并表示“我们当时绝对被点燃了”。
在圣安东尼奥揭幕战客场战胜达拉斯的第二节还剩 8 分 28 秒时，卡斯尔一边奔跑一边大喊：“篮筐，维克！篮筐！篮筐！篮筐！”
文班亚马立即推开身后的德怀特·鲍威尔 (Dwight Powell)，向篮筐发起了最后的冲刺。在刚过独行侠中场标志的位置，卡斯尔抛出一记传球，文班亚马在空中摘球，完成了一个反手双手扣篮。
达拉斯迅速请求暂停，文班亚马和卡斯尔跳起撞肩庆祝。
反手 2+1 扣篮，10月22日客场对阵达拉斯
我们仍在达拉斯，回顾文班亚马最喜欢的进球之一。这是他自深静脉血栓导致 2024-25 赛季提前报销后的首场常规赛，文班亚马砍下 40 分 15 篮板，搅黄了独行侠状元秀库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 的首秀。
第二节还剩 2 分 47 秒时，文班亚马接到新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的传球。一个快速的投篮虚晃晃起了 P.J. 华盛顿 (P.J. Washington)，为文班亚马腾出了沿底线突破的空间。安东尼·戴维斯 (Anthony Davis) 跨步过来补防，但为时已晚。这位 22 岁的球星在戴维斯头上完成了一记凶猛的反手扣篮，后者被吹罚犯规。文班亚马随后罚球命中，帮助圣安东尼奥以 50-48 领先。
“我看着替补席说，‘这他妈是什么鬼？’”马刺前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 告诉 ESPN，“抱歉，但那球真的太疯狂了。”
进球后，文班亚马和队友朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 站在美航中心球馆的记录台前交谈，欣赏着文班的杰作。
“那球太漂亮了，”文班亚马说道。
3+1 进攻，10月22日客场对阵达拉斯
美航中心揭幕战中的最后一个进球也值得一提——这是一个展现了文班亚马深厚武器库的 3+1 回合。
文班亚马运球过场，他显然不想错过在 1 对 1 中击败莱夫利的机会。他先是一个向左的变向运球，向前跨步，然后回撤，胯下运球接背后运球。随后，这位身高 7 英尺 4 英寸的球星在莱夫利的贴身防守下，拔起投中一个后撤步三分。
刷网入筐。
文班亚马在投篮落地时踩到了莱夫利的脚，裁判鸣哨示意莱夫利犯规。倒在地上的文班亚马双拳叠放，做出旋转手势，示意他正在“掌勺（cooking）”。瓦塞尔、哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 和卡斯尔跑过来向文班亚马表示祝贺。与此同时，替补席上的哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram) 拥抱了俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo)，其他马刺球员也纷纷模仿文班亚马搅拌锅子的动作。文班亚马随后罚球命中，完成了这次 3+1。
他说球队需要在揭幕战中打出气势。
“因为我还没见过我们赢过揭幕战，”他说道，“我们在客场，而且我们在圣安东尼奥的训练方式也有了很多提升。所以，感觉是时候迈向下一步了。我们需要打出气势，因为大家都厌倦了输球。这就是事实。”
360 度转体上篮，10月27日对阵多伦多猛龙
即便在揭幕战砍下 40 分并贡献了诸多精彩瞬间后，文班亚马在三场后对阵多伦多的比赛中依然让自己感到惊讶。
“以前从来没练过这招，”他谈到这一球时笑着说，“这是第一次。”
开场仅四分钟，文班亚马借瓦塞尔的掩护切入，接到巴恩斯的传球，仅运一次球就挤过了防守人斯科蒂·巴恩斯 (Scottie Barnes) 和雅各布·珀尔特尔 (Jakob Poeltl)，随后腾空而起完成了一个 360 度转体上篮，皮球打板入筐。
文班亚马砍下 24 分 15 篮板，马刺在以 121-103 获胜后，追平了队史最佳开局（4 胜 0 负）。
自抛自扣，11月14日对阵金州勇士
11月12日，在双方本赛季的首次交锋中，斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 砍下 46 分，帮助勇士击败了马刺，尽管文班亚马和卡斯尔都拿下了三双。两天后，在 NBA 杯的一场火药味十足的较量中，圣安东尼奥遭遇了类似的命运，库里再次砍下 49 分。
尽管如此，文班亚马当晚还是留下了一个火遍全网的精彩瞬间。
“51区”组合由卡斯尔（5 号）和文班亚马（1 号）组成，通常是前者为后者送出空接暴扣。但这一次，文班亚马决定自己解决问题。
在运球晃过德雷蒙德·格林 (Draymond Green) 后，文班亚马用一个投篮虚晃晃飞了摩西·穆迪 (Moses Moody)，随后在第三节还剩 10 分 21 秒时，将球抛向篮板，完成了一个自抛自扣的双手扣篮。文班亚马在 38 分钟内得到 26 分、12 个篮板和 3 次盖帽，但马刺输掉了他们的首场 NBA 杯比赛。
隔人暴扣，12月27日对阵犹他爵士
即便是在圣诞节过后两天，文班亚马依然在给中心银行中心球馆的主场球迷“送礼”。到了赛季这个阶段，对手本该知道不要被他在三分线外的投篮虚晃所迷惑。
但这一次，劳里·马尔卡宁 (Lauri Markkanen) 上钩了，而他的队友们付出了代价。
当马尔卡宁被虚晃晃飞后，文班亚马开始运球突破。两次运球后，尽管考迪·威廉姆斯 (Cody Williams)、布莱斯·塞萨博 (Brice Sensabaugh) 和小沃尔特·克莱顿 (Walter Clayton Jr.) 都试图在内线补防，文班亚马还是在第二节还剩 8 分 49 秒时，在被吹犯规的凯尔·菲利波夫斯基 (Kyle Filipowski) 头上完成了当晚最震撼的隔人暴扣。
“功夫文班”，1月6日客场对阵孟菲斯灰熊
这是这组集锦中唯一一个场外瞬间，但同样令人印象深刻。
在马刺 105-106 惜败灰熊的赛前热身中，有四个篮球卡在了篮网里需要清理。对于其他任何典型的 NBA 球员来说这都不是问题，但对文班亚马来说，这是一个展示他其他天赋的绝佳机会。他在休赛期曾前往中国郑州的少林寺进行冥想和功夫训练。
文班亚马轻轻一跳，一记侧踢将其中一个球踢出了篮网。
“以前也有人做过，”他谦虚地说道。
当被告知还有其他人能踢到篮筐那么高时，文班亚马反驳道：“我能踢得更高，我有信心。”
大风车扣篮，2月21日对阵萨克拉门托国王
当巴恩斯提醒约翰逊这一球时，约翰逊说：“噢！我把这球给忘了。”
达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 突破到中路后将球分给外线的巴恩斯，巴恩斯随即传给了三分线外的文班亚马。他只运了一次球，禁区内的防守球员立刻为他让开了道路，他腾空而起完成了一个双手大风车扣篮。当然，文班亚马以不走寻常路著称，所以他的大风车是顺时针旋转的，而不是通常的逆时针，这并不令人意外。
萨克拉门托的防守者德马尔·德罗赞 (DeMar DeRozan)、尼克·克利福德 (Nique Clifford)、戴宽·普劳登 (Daeqwon Plowden)、马利克·蒙克 (Malik Monk) 以及文班亚马的同胞马克西姆·雷诺 (Maxime Raynaud) 只能眼睁睁地看着文班亚马升空完成扣篮。
“每一次我都感到惊叹，”约翰逊说道。
不看人盖帽，3月8日对阵休斯顿火箭
塔里·伊森 (Tari Eason) 的母亲特罗亚 (Teroya) 在社交媒体上非常活跃，而且说话直言不讳，甚至对自己的儿子也不例外。在马刺大胜休斯顿的第二节比赛中，这位火箭前锋带球推进反击，而文班亚马则退守篮下防守中锋阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun)。
由于尚帕尼在防守伊森，而文班亚马仍在防守申京，这位火箭前锋选择强突尚帕尼。伊森可能没有意识到的是，文班亚马是在篮下诱敌深入。就在伊森用一个上下步晃过尚帕尼后，文班亚马在最后一秒跨步上前，将球扇进了观众席。
文班亚马在本赛季常规赛贡献了大量的火锅，连续第三个赛季领跑联盟盖帽榜（197 次）。但这一球可能是声音最响亮的，而且至少它引来了伊森母亲滑稽的反应。
职业生涯首个绝杀，3月19日对阵菲尼克斯太阳
在球队 99-100 落后的情况下，文班亚马耗掉 9.7 秒的运球时间需要极大的胆量。但他必须这样做来观察防守，随后他向右跨步，运一次球，在比赛还剩 1.1 秒时面对奥索·伊戈达罗 (Oso Ighodaro) 投中了一个 17 英尺的领先准绝杀后仰跳投。
根据 ESPN 数据统计，这一球不仅锁定了圣安东尼奥自 2019 年以来的首个季后赛席位，也是文班亚马职业生涯首次在第四节或加时赛最后五秒内投中领先进球，此前他在这种情况下五次尝试全部打铁。
“随着年龄增长，你就不会被那些时刻吓倒了，”首届 NBA 年度关键球员奖得主福克斯说道，“他现在就已经不被这些时刻吓倒了。他只会继续成长，继续变得更好，在这些情况下变得更加游刃有余。”

Victor Wembanyama’s top 10 plays from the 2025-26 NBA season
On a cold March night in Memphis, Tennessee, Victor Wembanyama plopped down in a seat in the visitors locker room at FedExForum and plunged one foot into an orange cooler filled with ice and water.
Off to Wembanyama’s right, Devin Vassell dressed in the corner, leaving the Frenchman reluctant to start his postgame interview. So, Wembanyama told the small group of reporters near his locker that he’d start his availability once everybody stopped recording on their phones.
“I’ve got your back,” he told Vassell, who was still dressing.
As Wembanyama took the first question, he noticed someone recording.
“Are you still recording?” he asked.
“No, no, no,” a reporter replied. “We stopped. We stopped”
A Spurs staffer noticed they hadn’t. Wembanyama did, too.
So, he grabbed his phone, turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the group while looking away and imitating the reporter.
Feigning innocence with his eyes wide open, a giggling Wembanyama joked, “No, I’m not [recording].” Teammates, staffers and the group of reporters erupted in laughter. The gag turned into one of Wembanyama’s most entertaining plays off the court.
Seconds later, he struggled to lock down his best moments on the court.
“There were a lot of highlights in the first game, in the season opener,” Wembanyama told ESPN. “Like, that reverse and-1 dunk I had [in the season opener against the Mavericks]. I don’t think that’s my best dunk. But in the moment, [it had] the best reaction. Actually, no, it’s the cross on Dereck Lively going back to the and-1 3[-pointer]. It had the best reaction. That’s my favorite.”
That same night in Memphis, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson racked his brain trying to think of his top Wembanyama plays.
“My favorite Victor plays typically start with him in a defensive stance,” Johnson said. "And I say that because when you really watch the film, when he’s in a stance, that typically means he’s switched on mentally.
“As we sprint and transition from defense to offense, he throws an absolute strike to one of his teammates for a 3-point shot. Every now and then, he gets it back for a dunk. Those wow highlights get so much attention. The other plays are just as impressive. That sequence at times can blow you away, and maybe we are starting at times to not even allow it to blow us away. That’s not doing those player sequences justice.”
The second-most viewed player on the NBA’s social media channels (2.43 billion) this season, behind LeBron James (2.85 billion), Wembanyama has produced plenty of stunning viral moments, with more likely on deck starting Sunday when the San Antonio Spurs host their first playoff series since 2017 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
To get ready for Wembanyama’s postseason debut, here’s a list of 10 notable plays and moments from the 2025-26 regular season in chronological order based on his favorites and informal polling among his coaches and teammates.
Area 51 reverse alley-oop jam, Oct. 22 at Dallas Mavericks
Spurs guard Stephon Castle lit up when discussing the play, calling the moment “a turning point in the game,” that “we were definitely hyped about.”
With 8:28 remaining in the second quarter of San Antonio’s season-opening victory at Dallas, Castle ran the floor screaming, “Rim, Vic! Rim! Rim! Rim!”
Wembanyama immediately pushed off on a trailing Dwight Powell to gain one last burst of speed to the basket. From just past the Mavericks’ center-court logo, Castle floated a lob that Wembanyama plucked out of the air for a reverse two-handed dunk.
Dallas quickly called a timeout as Wembanyama and Castle celebrated with a leaping shoulder bump.
Reverse, and-1 dunk, Oct. 22 at Dallas
We’re still in Dallas for one of Wembanyama’s favorite plays. In his first regular-season game since deep vein thrombosis prematurely ended his 2024-25 campaign, Wembanyama spoiled the debut of Mavericks rookie and No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg with a 40-point, 15-rebound performance.
With 2:47 left in the second quarter, Wembanyama caught a pass from rookie guard Dylan Harper. One quick pump fake lured P.J. Washington off his feet, giving Wembanyama room to drive baseline as Anthony Davis stepped over to help, but it was too late. The 22-year-old unleashed a ferocious reverse dunk on Davis, who was whistled for a foul. Wembanyama hit the subsequent free throw to give San Antonio a 50-48 lead.
"I looked at the bench and said, “What the f—?” Spurs forward Keldon Johnson told ESPN. “I’m sorry, but that was crazy.”
Wembanyama and teammate Julian Champagnie stood at the scorer’s table at American Airlines Center talking after the play, admiring Wemby’s work.
“That was niiiice,” Wembanyama said.
Four-point play, Oct. 22 at Dallas
It’s worth mentioning one last play from the opener at American Airlines Center – a four-point sequence that featured Wembanyama’s deep bag of gifts.
Dribbling up the floor, Wembanyama wasn’t about to miss an opportunity to beat Lively in a one-on-one matchup. He pulled off a crossover dribble to his left, stepped forward, then back, dribbled through his legs and then behind the back. Then, the 7-foot-4 star rose for a step-back 3-pointer with Lively tightly defending him.
Splash.
Officials whistled Lively for a foul after Wembanyama landed on his foot on the follow-through. On the floor, with his fists stacked, Wembanymana churned his hands in a circular motion to say that he was “cooking”. Vassell, Harrison Barnes and Castle ran over to congratulate Wembanyama on the play. Meanwhile, Harrison Ingram hugged Bismack Biyombo on the bench as the rest of the Spurs mimicked Wembanyama’s stirring of the pot. Wembanyama converted the four-point play by hitting the ensuing free throw.
He said the team needed to make a statement in the opener.
“Because I haven’t seen us win an opening-night game,” he said. “We’re on the road, and we’ve stepped up so many things in the way we work back home. So, it feels like it’s time to move on to the next step. We needed to make a statement because we’re all tired of losing. That’s the truth.”
360 layup, Oct. 27 vs. Toronto Raptors
Even after his 40-point season opener filled with highlights, Wembanyama surprised himself three games later versus Toronto.
“Never worked on that before,” he said about the play, laughing. “That’s the first.”
Just four minutes into the contest, Wembanyama came off a Vassell screen, caught a pass from Barnes and took only one dribble to squeeze between defenders Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl before launching into a 360-degree layup that he kissed off the glass for a bucket.
Wembanyama poured in 24 points with 15 rebounds, and the Spurs matched their best start in franchise history (4-0) after their 121-103 triumph.
Self alley-oop, Nov. 14 vs. Golden State Warriors
On Nov. 12, in their first matchup this season, Stephen Curry scored 46 points to help the Warriors beat the Spurs despite triple-doubles from Wembanyama and Castle. Two days later, in an NBA Cup battle, San Antonio suffered a similar fate in a chippy affair, highlighted by a 49-point effort from Curry.
Still, Wembanyama left the floor that night with another viral highlight.
Area 51 consists of Castle (jersey No. 5) and Wembanyama (No. 1), and usually features the former tossing lobs to the latter for breathtaking jams. This time, though, Wembanyama took matters into his own hands.
After dribbling past Draymond Green, Wembanyama made Moses Moody lunge with a pump fake, before tossing the ball off the glass for a two-handed dunk on a self alley-oop with 10:21 remaining in the third quarter. Wembanyama finished with 26 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 38 minutes as the Spurs lost their first contest of the NBA Cup.
Poster dunk, Dec. 27 vs. Utah Jazz
Even two days after Christmas, Wembanyama was still in the gift-giving mood for the home fans at Frost Bank Center. By this point in the season, opponents should have known not to fall for his pump fake outside the 3-point line.
But this time, Lauri Markkanen took the bait, and his teammates paid the price.
As Markkanen flew past on the pump fake, Wembanyama put the ball on the floor. Two dribbles later, with Cody Williams, Brice Sensabaugh and Walter Clayton Jr. attempting to help inside, Wembanyama bent back the rim for the loudest dunk of the night, posterizing Kyle Filipowski, who was whistled for a foul with 8:49 remaining.
Kung-Fu Wemby, Jan. 6 at Memphis Grizzlies
The first and only off-court highlight of this bunch is an impressive one, nonetheless.
During pregame warmups before the Spurs’ 106-105 loss to the Grizzlies, four basketballs were lodged in the net in need of clearance. A nonissue for any other typical NBA player, but for Wembanyama, it presented an interesting opportunity to showcase some of the other talents he accrued after spending his offseason at a Shaolin temple in Zhenzhou, China, meditating and participating in kung fu training.
With one small leap, Wembanyama kicked one of the balls loose from the net.
“It’s been done before,” he said modestly.
When he was told that there are other people capable of kicking as high as the rim, Wembanyama shot back, “I can beat that. I’m confident.”
Windmill dunk, Feb. 21 vs. Sacramento Kings
When Barnes reminded Johnson of this play, he said, “Oooh! I forgot about that one.”
De’Aaron Fox drove to the middle of the floor and kicked it out to Barnes, who then swung the ball to Wembanyama at the 3-point arc. He took only one dribble, and the defenders in the lane immediately parted for him as he ripped a two-handed windmill dunk. Of course, Wembanyama is known for doing things his own way, so it’s no surprise that his windmill flowed clockwise instead of the typical counterclockwise motion.
Sacramento defenders DeMar DeRozan, Nique Clifford, Daeqwon Plowden, Malik Monk and fellow Frenchman Maxime Raynaud could only watch in disgust as Wembanyma rose for the slam.
“Every time, I’m amazed,” Johnson said.
No-look block, March 8 vs. Houston Rockets
Tari Eason’s mother, Teroya, has built quite a social media presence and pulls no punches, even with her son. In the second quarter of the Spurs’ lopsided victory over Houston, the Rockets forward advanced the ball in transition as Wembanyama drifted back to guard center Alperen Sengun.
With Champagnie guarding Eason, and Wembanyama still on Sengun, the Rockets’ forward drove on Champagnie. What Eason likely didn’t realize was that Wembanyama was baiting him at the rim to shoot it. Right after Eason slipped past Champagnie with an up-and-under move, Wembanyama stepped over at the last second and blocked the shot into the crowd.
Wembanyama has had his fair share of stuffs this regular season, leading the league in blocks (197) for the third straight season. But this one was probably the loudest and, at the very least, it drew a hilarious reaction from Eason’s mother.
First buzzer beater, March 19 vs. Phoenix Suns
With his team trailing 100-99, it took nerve for Wembanyama to dribble 9.7 seconds off the clock. But that’s what he needed to do to survey the defense before stepping right, taking one dribble and hitting a go-ahead 17-foot fadeaway over Oso Ighodaro with 1.1 seconds left in the game.
The bucket clinched San Antonio’s first postseason berth since 2019 and was Wembanyama’s first go-ahead make in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime in his career, after he had missed his five previous attempts in that scenario, according to ESPN Research.
“Once you get older, you aren’t fazed by those moments,” said Fox, the inaugural NBA Clutch Player of the Year. “He isn’t fazed by them right now. He just going to continue to grow, continue to be better, and continue to be comfortable in those situations.”
