That dunk over wembayama is crazy... not to mention the footwork and the defense this guy has is off the charts. Amazing.

[marcus_jb]

This man is about to be a PROBLEM. Like a combo of Dirk and Jokic

[ffbeexaid]

Youngest player in nba history to get 45pts, 15rebs and 5 steals yea? Reminds me of how Hakeem schooled the heck out of Robinson in the playoffs. 💪

Alperen Şengün gururumuz!! Rekorları alt üst etti ve hala 21 yaşında Allah nazarlardan korusun maşallah yok böyle yetenek.. Devam Alpii!!

[streakshooter]

His post fundamentals are so on point Wemby can't stop his back to the basket game.

[rufinogepiga]

He's unafraid of Wemby. Taunted him by scoring in his face multiple times--along with a dunk. I love this kid.

[pgpacernation]

The media needs to cover this guy more because his game is actually nice to watch, dude got such an amazing footwork inside & vision. He will be the next big thing that will put the world in notice 🔥

[grapesofbutcher]

Oh my goodness. He buried the giants into the pitch. What a spectacular player, firing on all cylinders, kicking on every level. Turkey is proud of you young man.

Dunk over Wemby, Magic assists, beautiful D against Wemby. He has absolutely done everything.

"The wizard" is just a perfect nickname for him.

His assist on the fastbreak is just one of the most beautiful play that I have ever seen ❤❤❤.

He is already, in my opinion, a Top 5 Center in this league.

[cuneytunsal]

Highlight machine. One of the most entertaining player in NBA. Wizard. Alperen Sengun....Always!!!

[jesusnoscope]

there's like 6-7 inches between Wemby and Alpi, and he always finds a way to bully or go to the basket. I don't no how he does this, but i'm impressed, congratulations to him

[antinapay]

This. This should be celebrated. Wings/guards jacking up threes every possession may be efficient, but it gets repetitively boring. Glad to see post moves and footwork being applauded and cheered for

[jfromstate]

I knew this guy was about to be a problem !!! His footwork around the rim made wemby look avg height

[subutaynoyan]

Way agile and elastic for a player that size. He's still very young and can become a special player in the NBA.

[rodcarew]

Probably the most underrated guy in the league. Would love him in miami

[initialisms]

Got to witness Alperen’s career high! Got his jersey too! Held Wemby to 10 points, Many spurs fans were in the building some left at the last 2 minutes when they knew they weren’t gonna win.

[xxvvxxxx]

Alpe as usual when he find the space almost unstoppable elite level quickness and footwork..

[tolgaeser]

Hell Yeah Alpi putting wemby to the school

[cengino]

This Turkish guy is a great player and Houston fans are really happy to see someone like Alperen Sengun after Harden . I suggest everyone to watch Turkish Basketball League because there are few players like Sengun coming as well and very soon they will be performing in NBA.

[danceharborhub]

This guy is rocking the league! Not to mention he's still young... Has a lot to add to the game, huge respect big guy!
