Victor Wembanyama continues to show why he's out of this world ahead of the San Antonio Spurs' matchup against the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

Wembanyama has been off to a blazing start for the Spurs after four games into the season. He is averaging 31 points, 13.8 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He is shooting 60.3% from the field, including 36.4% from beyond the arc, and 80% from the free-throw line.

Ahead of San Antonio's home contest against Miami, Wembanyama was practicing his deep shots. This one, in particular, he fired from nearly full court as he splashed the attempt in convincing fashion.
