What happened: Victor Wembanyama called the alley-oop his favorite basketball play during an interview on 60 Minutes. He explained that the action combines teamwork with the finishing impact of a dunk.

Why it matters: The selection highlights Wembanyama's emphasis on collaborative scoring actions over individual isolations. The play has served as a recurring weapon for him, including an October contest where Wembanyama threw a self-alley-oop off the glass.
