Inventing a New Skill, 7’4 Victor Wembanyama Divulges Into How He Tries to Transform Stephen Curry’s Specialty

Victor Wembanyama is definitely the hottest rookie prospect to be eligible for the NBA draft since LeBron James in 2003. The Frenchman is already a superstar within the NBA community with many expecting him to be the no.1 pick. A seasoned professional within the Ligue Nationale de Basket in France, the prospect is surely one to watch out for.

Landing in New York for the NBA draft Wemby is already becoming a fan favorite. From hundreds being present in the airport to welcome him, to throwing the first pitch during a Yankees game, Victor Wembanyama has arrived. The 7’4″ Center has all the skills necessary to become successful in the NBA – including an unstoppable one he invented while “F*****g around.”

Wembanyama explains his one-legged shot to JJ

Arriving in America on Monday JJ Reddick invited the big man to his podcast, indulging the Frenchman with conversation. During the exchange the former NBA star had various questions, including one about Wemby’s ‘one legged 3-point shot’.

Questioning the 2023 LNB MVP he stated, “There are a couple of things that have happened on the court over the last year that I want to specifically ask you about, one of which is the one legged three. Why? Is it necessary?”

Victor replied to this by explaining to JJ that it was easier to shoot three’s that way. Believing that it helped him focus on the target, Wemby said, “You use your momentum, so you don’t get to put any force. You can like, refocus on your target.” He went to add on that he was practicing the move and it felt natural to him.

To this, JJ summed it up by saying, “So basically the genesis of that is you were f*****g around one day and realized, oh! it feels natural!” The top prospect just nodded and replied, “Yeah.”

In his own words Wemby described, “Off the dribble it’s a great move and it is surprising to the defender, you know, because you don’t gather (the ball) and go straight up.” A 7-footer going straight up, off the dribble? Well, we could just see a new 3-point king being crowned!
