Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs made life very hard for the Miami Heat on Friday night.
The rookie was seemingly unstoppable at times during the 120-104 win.
Using his massive size in his favor, Wembanyama had a few big plays, including a strong, quick dunk over Heat player Thomas Bryant.
A video shared by Tatum on Twitter showed Bryant’s reaction.
Half-dazed and half-impressed, Bryant was blown away by Wembanyama just like everyone else.

Like every other player in the NBA, Bryant is coming to terms with just how great Wembanyama might be.
The big man has obviously been the talk of the NBA world since he was drafted as the top pick in June.
At the time, there were many people saying he could be a once-in-a-generation talent who could literally transform the future of the Spurs, and possibly the league as well.
Wembanyama gave fans their first taste of his talent during the Summer League.
He suffered from a little bit of inconsistency and didn’t play too much but now he is doing a lot more during the preseason.
Wembanyama has obviously been in the gym a lot and has also worked closely with the team’s coaching staff.
There will still be plenty of challenges ahead.
Wembanyama is doing quite well with limited minutes against preseason rosters, but how will he fare when the regular season kicks off in a few days?
If he can play like this all season long, the Rookie of the Year trophy could definitely be his.
And he may end up being the massive talent that so many people thought he would be.
