What, Wemby?
How many centers in NBA history could make this play? Bill Walton? Arvydas Sabonis? Shaq?
The dexterity and grace are off-the-charts remarkable.
Castle to Wemby to Fox to Wemby.

Jared McCain returns to Philadelphia
Jared McCain’s top highlights with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The No. 16 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, traded to Oklahoma City in exchange for a first-round pick and three second-round picks in February, is back in Philadelphia tonight.
McCain (15.3 ppg in his rookie season with Philadelphia, 12.7 ppg with OKC so far) is a skilled shooter on the move, with stable form and strong touch. He’s also able to get to the rim with smooth footwork and his sturdy frame.
The Duke product is a classic microwave scorer — fitting for someone with the emotional fortitude to go routinely viral on TikTok. What will he do tonight as he graces the court at Xfinity Mobile Arena again?
