Every shot he makes is uncontested. You can get there, you can jump, you can't really contest the shot. His success depends on his ability alone. His opponents can only do so much.
Seen him take a 3 against the Suns late in the 4th and bro looked like he literally stretched through his own hitbox in a fighting game
Defenders are at his mercy of make or miss
@@kingmoss3I don’t think it’s hate bro just pointing out the clear advantage and gift he has.
Thanks for your insight Steve Kerr, is there any way I can get your opinion for free on a regular basis?
its kind of the same thing with KD when you think about it, the league better hope wemby doesnt become curry god like from three
He's already good right now at 19. If he stays healthy, it's scary to think how good he'll be at 23-24 years old
Imagine at his prime years at 27🥶
And he hasn't even figured his go-to moves yet 😱 just going with the flow
@@radicalmatamunebest way to be so you don't become predictable and just use the options you're giving
@@yoshimixsueveryone needs go to moves, it makes the game easier
Stay healthy please 🙏🏽
The scariest thing is his attitude.
In his post game presser, he said it’s an “INSTINCT” to go and “KILL” the other team in the final minutes/crunch time.
This right here he really cares he wants to be great.
he seems intelligent and composed as well
Yup, this right here. Lots of people are either too cognitively impaired or just haven't really followed him off the court in the past couple of years: this kid is intelligent, poised, mature, patient and at the same time HUNGRY and focused af. He ended up in the perfect environment for someone with that IQ and competitive drive and THAT is what makes him he best prospect in history. Like he's like this AT FUCKING 19 YEARS OLD. That's the biggest and scariest differentiator, beside the obvious talent. I get that people have the need to come up with hot contrarian and often idiotic takes but not seeing the obvious is just fucking ridiculous and embarassing
What make him different is he’s 7”2 with handles the dude can get to the rim himself that is scary that your big man can create his own shot from 3point
Crunch time huh 🤑
Wemby is just insane. Cannot wait to see him grow throughout the years.🤯🤯👽👽🏀🏀💗💗
He’s got a HOF coach with him and a first class organization to back him up. He can be at AllStar this year and make the first round of the playoffs.
Just like Tim Duncan
I see finals
He will be a All Star this year
People overrate this shit, the coach probably has 10% impact at max, the player is the one out there really putting in the work and with the talent, and needs a good team to do well too.
@@cortneyl.gatson6490this year?
You cannot compare this guy, just like KD said.
We’ve never seen someone this tall & athletic as himself, this will be extremely scary for the league to think this is only his 5th game.
Watch some of these players start to migrate to San Antonio, because we know at some point they will be making waves in the playoffs in 2-3 seasons..
um Kareem?
We have seen 7 footers with skills like him, Kareem to an extent, KD, Aryvdas Sabonis, Damontas Sabonis is no slouch with the shooting either.
@@Odinson42 Kareem was not pulling up taking 3 pointers in the 1970s. The game is evolving stop hating on this young man. You probably never even seen a live Kareem game just youtube highlights 😂
Hakeem
What about Ralph Sampson?@@rare6567
What impresses me the most is how he competes. He's a winner and he's confident. This kid will be on a different level.
perfect storm
This kid does not need anything more than 1 dribble to dominate in the NBA.
Wilt Chamberlain broke record books with the finger roll and unstoppable fall away jump shot off of one dribble.
Look at how wilt scored his 100 points.
Wemby could easily average 30 if he didn't put the ball on the deck or camp out at the 3 point line. Even though that's how modern NBA works now.
But I hate seeing a big like Wemby dribble facing up his man.
what he said after the game was what got me. after playing the suns the other night he learned that in the 4th he has to hit hard fast. and he did just that. smart kid
Fun fact: Last Spurs player to make the all-star team as a rookie Tim Duncan.
Before him, David Robinson.
Didn’t Duncan make all nba too
Didn't Duncan win the finals too?
@@mikegreen1696not as a rookie
Should have been Luka as well (i'm not a fan)
David Robinson is so overrated. Look at his playoff numbers. 18 ppg and shooting 47% for his career. That guy didn't do shit until Duncan came onboard.
Great regular season player, but shit in the playoffs.
Wouldn't be surprised one bit if he makes the next Western Conf all star team. Kid is legit.
Future is bright for the NBA.
guess that’s the only all star team he could make
since he’s in the western conference
@CloroxBleach-xj9mo 😂😂😂 I was a little confused reading the western conference Allstars 😂
@@CloroxBleach-xj9mo duh 🙄
It's a popularity contest..... why wouldn't wemby be an all-star🤣
Wemby has been put into the right situation. Veteran coach who had 2 Hall of Fame centers already, had international players on his team that are also hall of famers .Pop and Wemby is the perfect match.This is like a gift from God to Pop.
I'm so happy we got this man in the NBA. Entertainment and legendary performances for the next many many years.
About goddamn time. I was getting sick of small ball. It's time for the big man to return and show why the NBA made rule changes because of them.
I feel like it’s such a special time in basketball history rn for me.
Got to see MJ, Kobe, LeBron, Steph, Kd, and now Wemby???
This is insane talent and I still missed some names!
MJ is not remotely this era but yeah your right. I wish I watched MJ live
Steph and lebron don’t belong here
You snuck Steph in there like we wouldn’t notice 😂
@@247gaminghotline why u can watch high schoolgame now, same skills as mj
And Iverson! What a time to be alive
I am so... SO happy that he landed in San Antonio.
He looks good wit the jersey too
I couldn't stop laughing after the 10th lob pass he jus plucked it out the air sumple lay up, he so good its actually comical nobody can stop him
I love what I’m seeing from the kid! I was skeptical about if he’d be physical but he throws his body around a lot! He is gonna make the NBA have to actually play defense and harder! I love seeing it and the kinda change this kid CAN make for the NBA!
Stephen A is STILL saying Wemby's name wrong
He does it on purpose, he also does it for all other international players. It's his way of subtly disrespecting any non American players
His name is literally on the screen while he’s talking too 😂
The commentator on the game yesterday was doing the exact same thing. It’s so annoying
It's so annoying
@@natedogg890such a stupid take
Wemby looked liked a college kid playing against JV high school kids. It was amazing and exciting to watch!!!
Lmao no he didn’t a college player would drop 100 on jv high school kids
This kid didn't just want to join the NBA, he wants to take it over. Love the fearlessness.
I loved how humble and respectful Durant was.
He was always humble and respectful. He was just embracing the villain role lmao
I hope he doesn’t bulk up too much so he doesn’t lose his jumper like Giannis did. Just strong enough to take the physically but slender enough to stay fluid. If he stays healthy, there is a absolutely nothing you can do with him. Height + skills. That combo makes him literally unstoppable
Giannis never had a consistent jumper at any point
He needs a Kevin Garnett build and he’ll be super solid
@@ZigZags805That’s scary….
@@bkelly625That's not necessarily true, Coach Nick did a video on Giannis' jump shot in his early years. It was much more fluid.
@@bkelly625It was better form wise before
The wemby hype is deserved, even nba players are shocked at his play. This good this soon is really scary.
Won't last 3 years
@@Champ-ch5tpputting another man down is crazy
@@Champ-ch5tpjealousy hate stop it … let him shine ✨
@@Champ-ch5tpwhy not? Just because your skinny doesn't mean your injury prone KD has been able to recover from the worst type of injury while non skinny player like d rose, Kawhi, lonzo are being plague by injury. Putting on weight might actually lead to more injuries
So if people are this hyped already about Wembanyama. Could anyone imagine the hype of seeing Wilt Chamberlain averaging 37.6 points per game in his rookie year, and breaking the all-time scoring record of 31.1 points per game by Bob Pettit?
With his 7’4 inch frame, It’s not about lifting weights, it’s about keeping this man stretched out properly and yoga classes. This will be the key to how successful his nba career will be. I’m not saying he shouldn’t lift weights but that’s not more important than his flexibility.
And he’s been doing that too
He should just focus on strength training instead of bulk training, he’s so tall that if he puts on weight it can lead to injuries, he just needs to lifer lighter weights and do more reps and get strong without gaining weight
@@30atwill91 Yes Sir
This guy done beat my fav player & the Sun's twice 😅 I Respect his game! It's undeniable 🔥
Never has a big man been so fun to watch. Athleticism like Jordan, defensive coverage like Hakeem and range like Curry. Ultimate package.
I agree, but let’s not forget about Shaq
@@crownfence1509he can’t shoot. Boring. Just plants himself in the paint.
@@steplalandhe’s only 19 and is tall as a mf, give him sum time
@@steplaland. Yet he was still unstoppable and just tryna say it’s boring, is weak
@@steplaland your a casual.
He and Chet Holgrem will be incredible rivals for years to come barring injury! If Victor is an all-star based on his stats.. show is Chet.
Yk all star is equally about marketability and popularity, as nice as it would be for Chet to be an all star he isn’t talked about enough and is in okc so not as many eyes on him compared to wemby who’s talked about daily and has more nationally televised games
I think wemby will to good for him but lets see
Chet is playing with an MVP level player SGA+ other more talented guys like Giddey, Dort or J.Dub, Wemby doesn’t even have a point guard they have 20yo 6’8 Jeremy Sochan playing the 1 lol, if Wemby had a passer or shot creator like Shai or Giddey he would average 25+, and if he was playing Center like Chet he would get 4 Blocks per game easily, but you’ll soon see that Chet isn’t close to Wemby, Chet look like he already reached his peak while Wemby is growing in front of us, just look at his arms and shoulders, in 5 years he will look like 2020 Gobert or 2017 Giannis, but i don’t think Chet has the genetic to build muscle like that, but who know maybe im wrong …
@Anthonydu01630 yup Chet at 2 years older than Victor is noticeably skinnier with sticks for shoulders and arms. Wemby has put on 20lbs since the draft.
@@micahjohnson138yeah right.
Talent can only get u so far but he's skilled, can shoot and on top of all this seems very humble and down to earth....all the hallmarks of a generational player and a great human being.
When you got a coach like that and talent like that sky is the limit
Best situation, team, and coach. It was written for Wemby, his time is now. All he gotta do is just stay the course, and stay focused. All time great potential
I wish Chris Paul signed with the Spurs. Wemby would be averaging 35 points per game. The spurs pg is definitely shoot first.
Impressive game for Wembanyama. He is insane in Clutch, just like Jordan and Kobe were. And he’s only 19?! That’s just scary AF man. Damnn he is breaking the NBA y’all.
Devin Vassel’s absence in the second half is showing that Victor isn’t afraid to step up and take the #1 scoring spot. Now he is posting up like a big man, attacking the rim more, and getting a good feel for his game in this league. Only five games in and he is just getting better and better!
He’s already showing to be the modern day Wilt Chamberlain. He is dominating everyone on every angle. People just cannot guard him with that speed, agility, and wingspan. Forget about muscle strength.. he’s like the guy on Fantastic 4 with that reach. Literally nobody can do, or has ever done many of the things he is doing in these games.
Victor Wembanyama will win Rookie of the Year, and also Defensive Player of the Year no doubt. If he can put up numbers like Luka Donkic, he will be MVP this season. But I am not sure he can play like this every game at this point. He is still learning and growing. But I don’t see another power forward better than him at this point beside Giannis. First Team All NBA maybe? He will absolutely be an NBA All Star his rookie year.
What a game though. Keep it up Big Vic! Go Spurs Go! It’s a good time to be from San Antonio. We are so grateful and blessed by this young talent. And what a class act he is also. Such a bright and intelligent young man.
He ain't breaking Giannis' consecutive unanimous 1st team all nba streak at PF this year. Isn't he a center anyways
Mvp?? Lol you sound star struck he gone be good but it’s 5 games in and tbh he ain’t been dominating on boards like he pose to with his height but def a star in the making
Come on, statistically Kobe is'nt in the top ten. He was just a ball hog.
Chill bruh...he's not
@@fmbbeachbum8163Lary bird iq was 300 which is higest basketball iq of all time
The fact SAS who’s usually all pro American athletes only is drooling over Victor says a lot about what he can do.
You look at the skinny frame and you like “let me let him feel me” is craaazy 😭😭
Is Stephen A calling him WembanyaNa?? 😂
Yes man he Say Victor wembayana 😅
Good to see him ballin' out. San Antonio's future looks bright. 🏀
Soooo proud of him 🇨🇵🇨🇵 merci Wemby we follow his games even if for us its 3am 😅 but impossible miss one..he can be the one, the ultime player.. perfect mood is here dam he is only 19!! Its not only his tall..but his ability and IQ..so impressed. Go Wemby and Go Spurs ofc lol from France 🇨🇵
For those who watched him play in the french league last season (I did), this dude is not scared to be clutch, to be the main man on a team. He's got a mind set that will make him great. Here in France, we all cross fingers he's not gonna get injured 'cause if he's not, he's gonna be scary when he reaches 23-24. This is a guy who knows where he wants to be. He wanna be great. I think he's put the league on notice. Allez Victor !! On y croit !!
French league is a horrible league. He went to the French league to hype his numbers and with all that, a 16 year old Luka doncic has better stats numbers feats mvps finals mvp in the second best league and didn’t get the hype simply bc of his skin tone.
Can you imagine if Luka went to the French league to statpad? Dude would’ve been putting up 40,10,10

We are so sorry that your girlfriend got fucked by a french dude mate…

They better get his name right before that the xenophobic narrative comes up again
Wishin Wemby a successful and healthy career. I'm a fan. Keep Grinding young fella.
“Other than that, I don’t know whacha gonna do with this brother” 😂😂😂
I just love Stephen A 😂
Once in a lifetime player! Rookie of the year and all star,for sure.
Wemby is legit and is worth the hype but more than that... he has all the media behind him and they are riding him hard.... I would not be surprised if he got ROY, DPOY, all star, and 1 or 2 mvp votes this season.... the NBA and media is trying to make him the next face of the league after steph and lebron retire.
exactly. it will be him, no debate
there is no other legit candidate, even if nba would love to have an American as a poster child.
@joceja23Luka has no passion for the game, wemby does. Anybody who watches nba hardcore can see that
Hmm... he could get some All-Defense team consideration (maybe 2nd team), but I'd be surprised to see him get DPOY. As much as a defensive disruptor as he already is, he has so much to learn to maximize his potential.
@@mateuszzdyb3547 I agree.. The NBA tried with Ja but we saw how that turned out.... It will be sad when Steph, LBJ, KD and other American stars retire.
Impressive by wemby! He just has to maintain this style, play and aggression - as already mentioned he has skill and Heart same things Iverson had which can lead him to being best player in the game
Im here for the whole thing
ROTY, DPOY, All-star, all-NBA, All-defensive, and maybe more.
Lmao ya right
It’s not as much of a stretch as you might think. All-NBA might be tougher but with what he’s shown us in game #5 the odds aren’t as bad as you might think.

I see Lew Alcindor but taller , imagine if he learned and used the Sky Hook .
Wemby be like Go Go Gadget Arms!!😂😂😂
At first I wasnt believing the hype, BUT wemby showed us the future of NBA especially when he was up against KD.
Two important things:
Wemby can shoot. It would be developed through the years.
Wemby is a defensive machine. He usually stays at POS4 and help a closeout in the 3 when necessary.
Wemby is surely a one of one man. As for the Suns, Windy is right, an Ayton, even with the chemistry issues with the organization, would have been much more valuable than a defensive liability in Nurkic, and Suns are rlly being picked on in the interior even by a skinny unexperienced Wembanyama.
@bigdripbobz1072 Don’t let his “skinny 7”4 frame” fool you he’s a 7”4 Kevin Durant with the skill set of a guard/wing. Ayton would definitely have don’t a better job defensively but that’s on the Suns GM for trading him not Wemby talent.
Dude I was the last guy off the Ayton train and Ayton wouldn’t have done SHIT in this game
@@mikestone8756 no worries I'm not fooled by his frame im one of the most earliest watchers of him since age 15 ik what hes capable of than any other fan. But I'm just saying wemby has played often unaggressive at least to start his career and doesn't strike "interior offensive domination" to at least half the league ( to my estimation on how well other teams can play defense right now with great movement and agility, e.g., grizzlies, nuggets, lakers) . However clearly suns are a team that he strikes in that "interior domination" area thru watching the last two games, which is a big concern to see for the suns part considering they surely should be trying to be in championship contention right now. Nurkic need to man up and at least be avg, not look bottom tier defensively getting pounded by skinny frames when he is that massive himself.
@@mikestone8756 it just seemed wemby was hounding them in the interior whereas for the other three teams the spurs faced this season (clips, mavs, rockets), they were able to control him in the paint area at least sometime during the game to prevent crazy wemby solo runs of domination. Suns have been an atrocity and wemby cooked them like BBQ chicken
I don’t agree because on offense he’s been mainly playing on the perimeter and taking advantage of smaller players on him. I’m not sure Ayton is going to have an easier time going around screens than Nurkic enough to stop him.
Wemby's block numbers would be much higher *if* players actually dared to test him in the paint, but they're - rightfully - doing anything to avoid that.
Exactly. The stats really don't show how good he is defensively. Players won't challenge him in the paint. He cuts the floor in half because he's so long. Players avoid him on the offensive end and shoot the ball too early, pass out of open shots, and just make decisions because of Wemby.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078totally agree. They have quadruple thoughts to try him 😂😂
Those roooks or rotation players would probably test him coz they have nothing to lose but a lot to gain - reputation 😂
Idk. Him vs Chet will be something going forward and as impressive as this was, the Suns are kinda the team you expect him to drop 38 against. Don’t get me wrong I still expected the Suns to win so that’s impressive too, but I expected the suns to win 150-140 or something. If they can create the right mismatch, he’s going for 30+ every night. We might be looking at the next Wilt.
38 points this early as a rookie, crazy. Even in todays era of inflated stats due to the lack of defense not many rookies are scoring 38, especially in their first few games
Yeah that sounds nice, but just remember that Wilt Chamberlain broke the all-time scoring record of 31.1ppg in a season in his rookie year, by averaging 37.6ppg.
Somebody put respect on Wilt's name. And Wemby needs to get his ass closer to the rim and just dominate. He doesn't need to take any more than 1 dribble and risk turning the ball over.
It's still a small sample size, but Shaq's rookie season is still outshining Wemby's.
But I want to see WEmby succeed. He's got a good jumpshot. So why doesn't he dominatee like wilt did? All he needs to do is post up and just use a fadeaway. Nobody's going to block that.
Get to the damn rim!
Wemby is a player we haven’t had for some time. Seeing previous players similar to his body size and type usually were centers. Now you see Wemby with a more versatile skill set is amazing. He is almost like a cheat code. Under the rim, he doesn’t even need to get on his toes to dunk the ball.
Some time? Possibly never.

@@247gaminghotlinebro fr im so happy man 😭
Center starter is locked in with jokic. Other than that he can take a backup center position with sabonis only being the biggest competition. Forward also works if you consider him a PF. He has been playing like a top 10 forward (top 5 in west) so thats another possibility to get voted in.
Wemby has brought me back to basketball along with guys like giannis and jokic. 3 guys who have an ald school game with a splash of modern.
Wembanyama is definitely making a new lane.. The Positionless basketball lane 🔥
Spurs y'all are lucky to have him
Should've went to the Pistons
Of course. This has been obvious imo from day one. He just needed to assert himself and he did that last night. After they beat PHX the first game this week and KD bring his favorite player, it clicked for him that he could do it. He and LBJ are like chosen ones in hoop. Dude will easily be the best player in a few years once he puts on a bit more muscle and gains experience.
I think Wemby is arguably the best player in the world right now as a rookie. Thats crazy to me.
Im so happy for the kid. Living up to the hype and shutting up haters.
MVP is not too far fetched atm, because of his effect on both ends. He’s like a hyper upgraded version of AD. AD is a monster on D but decides he forgot offense every other night.
he’s different, this is the greatest nba season since 2016.

He's definitely got it, glad it finally is obviously showing that he is ready for the NBA, both Kawhi and PG had to stick to him like glue to shut him down when they played the Clippers
SAS at the 1:56min mark "let me tell you something right now". Proceeds to dither about for 20secs saying nothinig only to say "he can ball". What a genius 😂
Since his first and fifth game, i have noticed more drive and confidence in his playing. I live in san Antonio, so im a spurs fan. I still feel we need another veteran to make it past the first round in the playoffs
All-Star is a popularity contest. Of course he will be an all-star. Will he make an All-NBA team??? Let's see. I hope so.
definitely can..
Based on defense alone he will…his offense is way ahead of schedule also.
He does need to get his adult body to avoid injury but if he stays on this path, it's gonna be his NBA for the next decade.
Wemby is just 💪💪
And what I'm impressed is that he is performing very well especially in 4th qtr
Wemby will bring back the tall guy era in the NBA and physicality as it should be
Lebron still playing at such a high level is insane. Still coming in clutch
That's why he's my goat. Too good for too long.
Never thought id actually tune into spurs games
And be this entertained. This young team is fun to watch. They make some dumb mistakes from time to time but they try to move the ball and they defend. The Spurs were one of the worst teams last season and now they are 3-2 in their first 5 games. Wemby is a franchise altering player without a doubt at 19! He is going to improve and get stronger each year. His upside is a complete mystery because he is so unique. I'm watching every Spurs game this season.
Crazy huh?
I did the same with Michael Jeffery Jordan as a Diehard Spurs fan.
As a Spurs fan I love it, but even if you’re not as an NBA fan you have to love it also.
"THIS dude WembanyANA" 🤣🤣🤣
I never seen a rookie like him aside from mj and shaq. He deserves to be rookie all star. He is a primetime must see on tv!!
I’d say he’d need to do more than play 5 basketball games to be declared an all star but yeah the man is different no doubt
KD was hiding 🙈 from guarding him smh, Eric Gordon was guarding him, are you kidding me 🤦♂️

People need to stop trying to compare him to Bol Bol, he's on a whole 'nother level, that's disrespect to him & I think he took it personally last night. This kid is legit. I actually thought Scoot was going to be the one starting off strong, while Wemby struggles the first month or so, but I was dead wrong, it's the other way around lol. The Spurs had a 20pt lead at the end of the 3rd quarter, then Pop sat Wemby out the first 6 minutes of the 4th & the Suns came back & took the lead. When Wemby got back in, he just took over & they beat the Suns by 11pts, he's a major difference maker. He's clutch too. In a game with Booker & KD, it's crazy that Wemby was the best player in that game last night, & KD Booker both played great too. If he continues playing this way, he'll probably be an Allstar. I think if anything, he just needs to put on some muscle & get more sturdy, he still looks very flimsy on the court, it's like watching Shawn Bradley dominate lol. Also, as the TNT crew kept saying the other night, he needs to set his screens harder. I'm excited to watch this kid's career though, just hope he doesn't get any serious injuries.
Their comparing him to Bol Bol because they have a similar skill set can run the floor, dribble and shoot, no one is saying Bol Bol is better then him it’s a difference 🤦🏾♂️

There's no comparison between him and Bol Bol, he's miles and miles ahead of dude. He was a projected NBA number 1 pick at 17 years old.
SAS repeatedly saying Wembanyana in lieu of Wembanyama sounds funny 😂😂😂.
"He is gonna carve out his own lane" that is well said
As a rockets fan my team has been in the lottery for 3 years straight. It hurts the Spurs tanked for only 1 season but still got wemby…. That guy is so damn good and he’s not even old enough to legally buy cigarettes in America… Just think about that…. 😔
Because they knew they were getting him all along
Lol I feel like rockets were definitely still good when the spurs weren't
The NBA still mad at the rockets for those back to back championships we beat the Knicks and Shaq
NBA is corrupted man they wanted the Spurs to comeback for more views again
@@bobbym9510 not at all just go look at the records of each team the past 3 seasons…. We are the new “Process” and I hate it
I think if he bulks up and stays flexible the sky's the limit for this kid. Right now 19 there's nothing to stop him. I just hope he doesn't sustain any real injury because he could possibly be another Greg Oden but I hope not the kid is good to watch
No need to bulk much. More weight is more stress on his joints and ligaments. He already doesn't need to overpower anyone to become an all time great. I think it's better for him to sacrifice a little dominance for longevity.
His team is totally against added weight/muscle they want to keep his body as natural as possible and let grow into it , his workout was nothing but light weights , core strength , and a lot like stretching type exercises I was in shocked but they have been treating him like a specimen with extra care
@@vlisto3712I don’t think anyone wants him to bulk up like crazy. I think most people would just like to see him get to the size of Giannis which wouldn’t be too bulky just more muscle and strength.
@@igiveyouthefactsWhat are u on about bro giannis is huge, look at victors post game interview yesterday, he already has good muscles he doesn’t need more
People still don't get it. The fact that he's a light weight at his height is a feature not a bug.
It's the reason he can move the way he does.
Wembanya Is to smoooooth with it
He's something special
The thing I like about Victor is that he is actually all about basketball. You can tell he wants to be great. Unlike other players like Ben Simmons, lamelo, those people are just in it for the fame and money. Also known as losing players, the organization will never win with those kinda of players
You can give someone their props without stepping on other people's name. You can't prove that theory unless you knew all players personally.
Lamelo clearly loves basketball.
Such a judgmental post ugh why bring others into this? Such a bad energy
@@brightkicks_Fr and bozo’s like him forget the league is a business at the end of the day. Even if the players are playing for money, Some of those players do get better.
Wemby is the most impressive 19-year-old since LeBron.
I thought it was the blunt but Stephen A. repeatedly saying Wembayana was taking me tf out 😂
Scary good
All-Star
All-Defense
And a possible All-NBA!
All he literally has to do is get his team to the play-in and all that will come into fruition!! 🔥
Bro his numbers ain’t that crazy and only had one good game so far he’s good but he’s inefficient for his size ain’t shooting the ball to well and he averaged 4 turnovers on 1 assists turnover machine he’ll only be a Allstar of hype not cuz of numbers he good for the highlight but ain’t rebounding well or nothing but give him a year or two he’ll be unstoppable
A freaking Center/ Forward/ Guard ❗
The Walking Cheat Code
Allez Victor ! Montre leur qu'on a de bons joueurs en France ! And it's only the beginning, he's gonna walk on the NBA. Allez Vic 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
J’ai peur qu’il se blesse.
Good player and has some good teammates around him.. GSG
Great Show , Wembanyama is showing how good he is going to be with these rules today, and a man with this talented where you can't touch him, already scoring at ease.There is no way to defend him. It's like Wilt Chamberlain coming to the league in the 1950s ( there was no stopping him back then) This was just his skill set.and what i saw last night this young man won't be able to be stopped in 2 years or less or by the end of this year bearing injuries. He's a over Grown K D with handle 7'4 feet tall, ,and he can roam the floor at will, And if players beat him up inside the paint he can still give you 25-30 out side. A New era. MY Knicks can't get a Break.
The only reason he doesn’t get the same level of hype as Lebron James when he entered the league is he’s French. Otherwise I truly believe his talent deserves it. His game is truly transcendent. We have to see how far he will go in his career but as of now, he is arguably the best rookie since Lebron James. Other great players like KD, Luka, Giannis or Steph needed time to be great but this kid has been amazing from the get-go.
Starting Sean Clifford at QB over Will Levis at Penn State shows you why James Franklin has the Nittany Lions always finishing 2nd or 3rd in the conference.
Can you imagine Levis throwing to KJ Hamler, Pat Freiermuth,Jahan Dotson, Brenton Strange, Parker-Washington and Tinsley.
That might have been the period where Penn State jumped passed Michigan or at least Ohio State or got in the playoff
4:04 (PAUSE) SA sounds like you trying to beat it out the skinny frame 😂
I predict that Wemby will have a quadruple double game at some point in his career
My thing is at the end of the first half he had 6 points and went off for 32 and ended the game with 38 impressive 🔥🔥
He had 20 in the first half
What game were you watching?
@@skii7602lol he must have watched highlights from the first game😂😂
@@skii7602the first game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaoo
It's crazy that with how few 7'3 people there are in the world that one of them also had all of the different traits required to become Wembanyama. One in a billion isn't even enough.
I can see Stephen A as a child in this take - adorable!
