Pascal Siakam, a forward for the Toronto Raptors, took out an opponent on Tuesday night when he caused Mo Wagner’s ankles to explode during a home game against the Orlando Magic. Now everyone on Twitter is making fun of Wagner and gushing about Siakam’s cat’s incredible skills.
After Siakam dropped Wagner in the Raptors’ final game before the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend, the latter staggered across the paint as if he had been struck by a bicycle, becoming yet another viral sensation on social media.

Even though Pascal Siakam didn’t put much spice in his move, Wagner crumpled like a cardboard object. Wagner completely misjudged Siakam’s intentions. Wagner’s brain was unable to absorb Siakam’s motions quickly enough to convey that information to his ankles, making him a useful case study for instructors of biology to use when discussing the nerves with their students.

It’s even better news for Pascal Siakam that he made the shot. It’s not enough to just knock down a defender; the action isn’t over until the basket drops.

The Raptors have benefited greatly from Pascal Siakam’s versatility, including his quickness and ability to penetrate the area without using a shot. He was averaging 25.2 points on 47.9 percent shooting, 7.9 boards, and 6.1 assists before the game against the Magic. Numerous statistics point to 28-year-old Siakam as the Toronto Raptors’ top performer.
