The mere presence of Victor Wembanyama in the court has left opposing players in a dilemma. With an outstanding record of leading the league in blocks with a whopping 116 and an average of 3.9 blocks per game, it's no wonder why Wemby is on track towards his first Defensive Player of the Year award. His dominance in the game has forced players to second-guess themselves before attempting to attack the rim.

Coby White showed no such fear.

We're not going to call that dunk a poster. Wemby rotated over late to try to get the block, but he's also gotten that block on many players. White was just too quick and strong.

That dunk helped seal a 114-110 Chicago win over San Antonio where White scored nine of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and was just making plays.

Chicago is now 17-19 on the season and sit as the 10 seed in the East, but whether they stay there remains to be seen. The Bulls are active sellers on the trade market with Nikola Vucevic, Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball all available.
