Two of the biggest, most powerful stars in the NBA met on Friday night, as Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks played against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
It was a wild game with many great highlights, including a particular three-point shot that was talked about all night long.
Bleacher Report shared the video of a hard-to-believe three from Wembanyama over Antetokounmpo’s head.
Even with tough defense and the shot clock winding down, Wembanyama was able to get past Antetokounmpo and rattle in a great shot.

That wasn’t the only amazing thing Wembanyama did on Friday night, because he also produced 30 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks on the way to beating the Bucks 144-118.
Wembanyama has improved just about every part of his game in his second season, including his three-point shot.
In his rookie year, the Spurs star averaged 32.5 percent from beyond the arc, nailing 1.8 of his 5.5 attempts per game.
This year, he is averaging 35.8 percent, sinking 3.3 of his 9.1 attempts.
He is obviously trying to score more threes and is working hard to enhance that part of his skill set.
It seems to be working.
Being guarded by Antetokounmpo is never easy, even for a player as large as Wembanyama.
His ability to figure out a way to overcome Antetokounmpo’s massive size and wingspan is a testament not only to Wembanyama’s physical skill but also to his mindset.
He is becoming a more talented and smarter player and is being very strategic in his approach to scoring.
In a season already filled with many sensational moments from Wembanyama, this might be the most amazing yet.
