Victor Webanyama is a name youāve had to have seen all over socials the past few days.Ā
He played his first game in the states against G-Leageās Ignite team and boy did he put on a show. And heās only 18?!
At 7ā2 he moves like a guard, is skilled like Luka, shoots like KD, and defends like Gobert. Who wouldn't want this beast on their team? Heās like a cheat code.Ā
His highlight reel from that game alone will show you why he's the projected No. 1 pick.Ā
Blocks, step-back threes, and iso movesā this kid was in his bag. It's only preseason too, so heās just heating up.Ā
Who's here for the hype?Ā

A new week of football is upon us. But first... can we talk about how the reigning Super Bowl Champs did not live up to that name Monday against the 49ers?!
The 49ers had the Rams on lock on both ends. For one, they sacked Stafford seven times and as far as their offense goes, they had nothing on Deebo.Ā
After their winning performance, the Niners are coming into Week 5 in the Top 10 of the NFL's power rankings.Ā
Oh, but the 49ers werenāt the only ones running the field that night.Ā
Outta nowhere a fan from the stands rushed the field but it wasn't long before Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley tackled him down. A true quick hit!

Thereās a new king in townā home run king that is. History was made on Tuesday with Aaron Judgeās 62nd home run against the Rangers.Ā
As if that historic moment needed more excitement, a fan jumped over the railing in hopes to catch the ballā¦but took a fat L and probably some injuries.
Unfortunately for that guy, another fan caught the ball which is said to be going for at least $2 million already.
The fan said he hadn't thought about what he would do with it yet. What would you do with that historic souvenir? š¤ Tell us over at @PlaymakerDingers.

After missing all of last season Zion Williamson made his return to the court in his preseason matchup against the Bulls.Ā
I know Pels fans gotta be happy to see him healthy again, throwing it down in the post.Ā
He sure didnāt seem too rusty from the confidence and dominance he was showing. Iām ready to see more of the big man in action the rest of the season. What about you guys?
Before I go, let's talk Thursday Night Football real quick. Did the Denver Broncos make a huge mistake with Russell Wilson?Ā
Before Wilson even took a meaningful snap this season, the Broncos blessed him with a five-year $245 million extension. He thanked them by kicking off the season with a painful loss to his old team and it's been so bad since, hisĀ own fansĀ began chanting the play clock to help him get plays off, and he's even catching strays fromĀ Eli Manning.
All that being said, Denver plays an equally banged upĀ Indianapolis ColtsĀ squad tonight, missing all-prosĀ Jonathan TaylorĀ andĀ Shaquille Leonard. The loss of rookie running backĀ Javonte WilliamsĀ will sting for the Broncos and I think Indy showed its true colors with a big victory over the Chiefs last weekend.
The Line (via Caesars):Ā Indy +3 (+100), Indy ML +143, O/U 42 (-110/-110), Nyheim Hines over 35.5 rushing yards (-125)
