The San Antonio Spurs big man is really good at basketball—and something else, apparently.

Everyone probably has experienced this feeling before—lugging what feels like an endless amount of grocery bags back to their car or apartment. 

Tired of having calloused hands and arms? Sick of making multiple trips back and forth just to restock the pantry?

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is here to help.

In a newly released ad promoting the San Antonio-based supermarket chain H-E-B, Wembanyama makes only a brief but brilliant appearance. The 7-foot-4 star waltzes into the kitchen with his arms spread wide like an angle, each arm holding five bags of groceries. The tagline is simple enough: Team One Trip.

Wembanyama isn't the only Spurs players to get featured in a H-E-B commercial this year; Jeremy Sochan, known for his unconventional free throws, also got some airtime in an ad that accentuated his one-handed prowess.

Wemby's wingspan-flaunting promotional video may be the most effective by far, though. 

Wembanyama has been enjoying a fantastic rookie campaign despite his team’s ugly 3—19 record, averaging 18.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

The Spurs will take on the Lakers at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
