There's a freak of nature shaking the NBA to its core. Victor Wembanyama, a giant alien whose game is as vast as his 8-foot wingspan. Making a seismic impact with insane blocks and effortless dunks, breaking rookie records left and right. Some say, he is the future of basketball. How high do you think his ceiling is?

People complain about his minutes restriction, but I think Pop & the Spurs are being smart.
They know they're not going anywhere this season, so in the meantime they get to keep their star healthy, get him experience, experiment with different lineups & rotations, and still keep that lottery spot.
Agreed.
Even if as french I would like to see him more.
Wemby and Sochan are not enough to build a team BUT with a third guy of this caliber... the Spurs can dominate the next decade.
A new era after Parker Duncan and Gino..
He's only playing 5-6 minutes less than most NBA stars.
draw bronny James in, add last seasons LeBron .......
Smart if he was on the Knicks hed be playing 47mpg
@@Bk77183 That would be the dumbest coaching decision in NBA history.
8 rings. I'm calling it.
His team is 11-46 right now.
@@sloebone7399 you dont win 8 championships in one season, also they're rebuilding with him as the centerpiece

6+ rings, 6+ FMVPs, 6+ MVPs and 6+ DPOYs.
6+ rings, 6+ FMVPs, 6+ MVPs and 6+ DPOYs.
He did his stats on a Minute restriction. And gets better at breathtaking speed...
Victor being in the mvp conversation in his ROOKIE season show how good he is
Awesoooome , never seen a rookie like this in my life
Yes you have.
Ralph Sampson, Wang Zhizhi, Shawn Bradly…..

Record schmecord! The Spurs know what they’re doing, and it’s going to be absolutely beautiful. I know a lot of people might think it’s miserable being a Spurs fan these days, but there’s so much to look forward to. Knowing they have Wemby on the roster brings a huge smile to my face each day. As a fan, I’m feeling so happy/blessed he’s with San Antonio.
Definitely. Perfect spot for him. They got a bright future ahead. Stoked to see him grow there. 👊🏀
And he's just gonna keep getting better too.
David Robinson is a Hall of Famer too, my guy. Just saying. But... I have NEVER seen so many highlights packed so tightly together! It's like opening a box of Cracker Jacks and finding an extra helping of peanuts inside. I'm really only interested in the Spurs, but this is so good that I'm going to subscribe and see what else you have for me. Nice work, keep it up!
Thank you. Appreciate it! More coming 👊🏀
5:50 Once he realizes he can do this at will. Once he wipes that smile off his face and starts playing angry, look the fuck out. That’s the Wemby I hope we’ll get to see one day on a nightly basis. 🤞🏾
I think he already knows it. Because he's doing it...while having a blast! He should keep that smile.
Scary bro!
It's a part of the scary thing : he smiles because he loves the game but the guy wanna kill. An exterminating angel. Ok he hasn't the body of Shaq but when you watch him block Giannis in an action which would have close the game, you know his mindset.
This is truly the build a player needs to have in order to even be good defensively now with the rules catering to offense. Like if you don’t have to be anywhere near an opposing player to contest or block their shot attempt the refs cant control narratives with foul call discrepancies. Pretty crazy to see how far victors come in such short time, no hype is too much for this dude !
Bro, all you have to do is cast your shadow on someone in today's league to get a foul called on you! Haha
@@BillyGeorgeBlessedByDaBest true, but its gotten a lot better this year. id rather just focus on the fun parts of basketball and the postive progress its made.
Just like LeBron said "There is no Ceiling for Wemby"
Lets not talk about stats right now. Lets talk about Truth.
Only Wemby and Michael Jordan has done something noone in the league has ever done. Last time it was done was in 1987. (Me personally i was born in 1991) .
Im a diehard Spurs Fan. Been one all my life. For instance i still remember Avery Johnson's game winning midrange right side shot to win our first Title in 1999.
I say all that to get to this point. Ive watched all of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili careers. As a Spurs fan i watched Kobe , LeBron, KD, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki , J Kidd , Steve Nash, etc kill us with the way they play.
Victor Wembanyama is already on that level they were in their primes. He has court vision of Steve Nash, he has shiftiness of J Kidd, He has the pullup stops like KD, He has the defense of Tim Duncan, He has shot blocking ability of Hasan Whiteside and David Robinson combined, He has that killer instinct of Micheal Jordan and Kobe. He has the Mindset of the game like Kobe.
Yes He is only a rookie. Competition will get harder every year. But Wemby is on another planet.
George Gervin created the "Finger roll" layup.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar created the "Skyhook" shot.
Victor Wembanyama just created the "Scoop Roll" layup. This man is just inventing new basketball moves that nobody else does. He is a legit Extra Terrestrial!
He's insane! 👊🏀
Wemby: 3.3 bpg at 28 mpg, in a less physical league that shoots many 3s
Shaq averaged over 3bpg twice in his career. He played 38 and 40 mpg in a paint dominated physical league…
And Shaq fouled 4 times per game in his highest bpg, and 3.2... victor is fouling 2.1 per game....
Shaq played in one of the slowest eras in NBA history. Wemby would have struggled to get that many blocks as well with that few possession per game. Game was also much more physical.
@@page8301 uh yeah, that's what OP said, if they were physical/attacked more the rim, it would be easier to snatch the ball as he can protect the rim like no one else in the league
@@mariohenrique9537The OP seemed to suggest that Shaq was a worse shot blocker at his peak compared to Wemby now. And no, Wemby would not get more blocks because PACE was at a snails pace. Considering how weak Wemby is, more physicality is certainly not in his favour either.
@@page8301 todays pace is 99.1, shaq's 3.5 bbg season the pace was 96.8, his 3.0 bpg season the pace was 93.1, so it was 6% slower but shaq had 10% less blocks per game during his prime than wemby now, and his rookie season with 3.5 bpg the pace was 2.4% slower but shaq had 10.7% more minutes per game and wemby is only trailing him by 5.7%
I don't see why he won't win ROY and DPOY this year.
Team defense is too low. Gobert gunna get it
@@youtubewatcherforfunI like you name
ROY no contest. But he shouldn't get DPOY based on blocks. He is never assigned the job of guarding the other team's top scoring big man, and they have no trouble having big games with him on the court. Contrast that with Draymond, who has no spectacular blocks but makes life much more difficult for the other team's scorer. Someone like that deserves DPOY.
@@richatlarge462 I believe he won’t win DPOY because of the losing record, not because he’s not making life difficult in the paint. Aside from his blocks, the guy has lots of steals too. Leading in blocks and steals and not impacting defense is impossible.
To your point, draymond’s defense is elite. However, you don’t consider how well GSW’s team defense is. Womb cannot guard 5 players simultaneously. No matter how great a defender he is, one defensive misread of his teammate will result to an opponent’s basket. Now imagine almost all his teammates cannot read defenses😂 or imagine victor playing with podziemski, payton, kuminga, klay, looney, wiggins… darn opposing teams won’t score 60😂
@@reynalyndapat6284 His blocks and steals add up to 4.5 plays per game on average, as opposed to maybe two plays per game for other players. Those numbers aren't big enough compared to the total number of possessions in which defense is played. That's why you have to rely on how well a player is shutting down the other team's scorer.
Chet and wemby have unlimited potential
💯
Victor come everthing change
The only one thing could stop wemby's growth which is health. Both him and coach pop.
How did a 2k 7'3 dribble god get in the NBA? I thought they patched this years ago.
7’4 with an 8ft wingspan
There’s so many videos with this exact title 😂
If Victor Wembanyama were American, the ROTY & DPOY trophy would already have his name embroidered on them 🏆🏆
Why turn this into a racist thing?
@@Jeremiah17seven Dude, get your mind right
He's gonna get ROTY, but DPOY will be for another frenchman because of better team defense so what's the point...
@@Jeremiah17sevenbecause you re racist. Accept LeBron, top 5 players are europeans or africans in NBA. But 80 per cent of players in NBA are from north america... 😂😂😂
That's Wilt Chamberlain 2.0
This guy would be to thin for the 90s (it was very physical). But would be perfect for the 70s when everyone had his body type (e.g. Kareem). He has more all around skills too. I hope he doesn't get hurt cuz he's in the right era for his game IMO. Its all about health now that he's in the NBA.
Mad respect for pronouncing Hakeem's name correctly. So many CZcamsrs get it wrong.
rookie of the year victor
Good look into his game and talent
Excelente comentario muy profesional seria mejor mostrando barras de estadísticas. Saludos de chile . aqui un nuevo suscriptor
Beautiful
The Wemby glaze is here and I’m here for it.
I’m a female and I had stopped watching the game for a while now. He got me pumped now to watch and buy up cards again. 😂 damn him !! spending money 💰 again
That’s what’s up
😂😂
lol
You made me a subscriber now. Great content
@@Darlene2611 😂🙌
soon will have 8 footers all running around and we need to make the basket taller
The league ALWAYS adjusts. It'll be interesting to see how it does with Wemby but also with other shooting bigs like Luca that are dominating currently.
Yes. Its going to be really fun to watch the league adjust. He's such a unique player.
1. Better start practicing the sky hook guys😂…
2. 6ft guards are slowly becoming obsolete…elite guys like Kyrie, Ja & Trae are safe but guys at that height that aren’t lottery picks ain’t getting drafted in the next couple seasons.
This is the most premium Wemby glaze to date
Your just weird nobody forced you to even click on the vid and if so by accident why not leave . Go read a book or get into sports so somebody can compliment your skill instead of being jealousy of somebody else
Dude's got arms like giant-squid tentacles.
Keep saying all the stats without pointing out it’s usually in 30 minutes or less like a mfn well timed pizza order.
Some are even calling him a generational talent
Not only his minute restrictions but his team mates are garbage at getting him the ball. he should be 27+ ppg
Victor With Your Momma!!!!😭
Spurs needs a Trae Young with him 😍
Gotta chill with the “Prime Dirk” shot 😂 he nice but nah bro lol dope video 🔥
Ah well, you had me at "Wembanyama".
Manute Bol had an 8'6" wingspan. Kevin McHale was 6'11" and had an 8-ft. wingspan.
Watching Victor play so far… I can confidently say no one is coming close to ever breaking Manute Bols rookie season blocks record. If Wemby isn’t coming close then no one ever will.
manute bol was 23yo in his rookie season@@anatomicalalex4737
Buit this guy has a spring too
George Mikan was the "first" evolution of the game. Followed by Wilt, then Russell, Jabbar, Bird, Jordan and on to Wembanyama. Each in his own moment, changing the game. I'm looking forward to this latest iteration!!
Curry was one too.
Russell was before Wilt, and Curry needs to be in this conversation
Wemby can everything as high level 😂
Wemby will have the most quadruple doubles of anyone
Was this video written by ChatGPT? The script does not feel cohesive at all, repetitive as hell and feels like one sentence is said without taking into consideration what the sentence before said
Wembanyama certainly has the potential and is putting up crazy good numbers.
But the Spurs just lose and lose and lose some more. You can't really be defensive player of the year while your team is one of the worst defenses.
Wild glazing🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
He can grow more than 7'4
Problem? More like a way to survive.
Honest question, how many generational talents can we have in the league right now? Ant, Luka, Giannis, Wemby, Jokic, Embiid, KD, Lebron, Curry, etc.
I can’t wait to see his season highlight video. lol He doesn’t he play 30 minutes a game 😅
Unfortunately, Old Victor stats! He scored more 1000points, blocked more 160,etc...
At the end of the season, 1500+ points, 750+ boards, 250+ blocks 270+ assists 120+ 3pts. Playing 29 minutes. 👽
He's not a kid.
Victor when banana
look at wemby man…
CZcams nba videos have a title creativity problem
lol. you got one? 😂
He can stretch like Spider Man.
Spiderman doesn't stretch.
@@jonhohensee3258 My mistake. I am thinking of Plastic Man.
brooo hes a giant
'STILL' has room to grow?!?! He ONLY has room to grow 🤦🏻♂️💀💀💀
He did all of this and he’s still a rookie😂
When you said 7 foot 4 (e)nig…ma I got so scared
I think he’s 7ft 5
He only needs two things in the very near future to be as legendary player as Timmy D or the Admirał.
1. Better players around
2. Get little more efficient in shooting
Personally I believe that we will not wait too long to him winning the ring
He needs to add about 60 lbs of muscle.
@@sloebone7399absolutely not. Maybe throughout his career add muscle each year. But if you want that immediately then it will only Shorten His career. If you add to much weight and muscle all at once His legs won't hold up. It has to be gradually and slowly not immediately like everyone wants
@@sloebone739960 lbs is absolutely pushing it, you don't want him to get all muscle bound like gainnis and kill his jumper, he just needs about 20-30 lbs of muscle over these next 3-4 years.
@@VictorWembanyamaSpurs- that’s my point. He needs the weight but he doesn’t have it. He’s going to get pushed around.
@@sloebone7399 only one player in the league has pushed him around. Joel Embiid. And majority of Embiid 70 came against Zach Collins. Lmao 🤣
Wemby doesn't get pushed around. Did you not see Spurs vs Bucks in San Antonio? How about Spurs vs Suns twice?
Wemby doesn't play the paint like that. Lol. Every good shot blocker gets dunked on every now and then. Ask Brook Lopez and Rudy Gobert.
If your main reason for weight is getting pushed around trust me that is the last thing to worry about with Wemby.
At this weight he is pushing others around. Remember he has an 8 ft wingspan. So if someone does body him in the post he can just back up a little and still block the shot.
We’ve all seen this before. They get hurt.
Almost dislocated his shoulder attempting a football throw shot
How many wins
Will his body make it 82 games plus the playoffs battling full grown men in the paint on a nightly basis? Time will tell, but history is not on his side.
The guy did not start playing basketball today and his body held up fairly ok in Europe. Am sure he'll be ok.
@@telramba he’s already on a minutes restriction because of a bad ankle. He’s 7’5” and Kevin Durant has 30 pounds on him. He’s going to get injured out there.
cmon bro, i just saw the video from "thinking basketball" and you just copied xD
There’s so many victor videos going around and it makes sense
Bro made a 14 min long glazing video.
this chat gpt created😂
Since it’s basically been 20 years since lebron came in can we expect the next game changer to come in 20 years from now? I’m going to go on a limb and say the next great will be someone under 6ft tall to combat the giants of the future with speed and agility. They will be faster than prime Derrick rose and be a layup maestro capable of using all types of angles to evade the all 6’10+ line ups of the future.
Imagine if he develops a hook shoot, gg!
That's gonna be ''space hook'' instead of Kareem's own ''sky hook''
They are gonna make a new rule like they did with Derrick rose or james harden. They wont let a roomie come out and disturb the peace they never do
Spurs need to trade for trae young
Or do the Hawks need to trade for Wemby? 😅
We would really have a problem if he wasn’t with the spurs or pop
Yeah, those 5 championship trophies in SA probably don't mean anything.
@@Jeremiah17seven how many years ago? Oh with Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker? Oh and before that David Robinson. Gtfo boy
AD an MVP caliber season ? You're kidding me right ?
7'4 what from France?!?! 🧐
You put this up after he scored 1000 points
wheres chet??🤣🤣🤣 Wemby is your true ROTY , no question.
Haters gonna hate this kid.
FACTS: ROTY is a individual award not base on team wins. So shut it 🤣🤣🤣
Where does he stand for Defensive Player of the year?
hoop reports, after bigherm24 and now you ^^ "The NBA has a Victor Wembanyama Problem"
chatgpt video
Bring back defense
Why say, “David Robinson and Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon?” Why use numerous references to superheroes? Why don’t you name his coach or any of his teammates? Why are the only other names in this video those of legends? Why don’t you use any names of comparable rookies?
The answer to all of these questions is the same… You were trying to establish an overwhelming narrative to sell to the uninformed in order that they may just chant “Wembanyama! Wembanyama!” to the exclusion of all other opinions or reason.
I completely agree that Victor Wembanyama may be the most exciting rookie in the history of the NBA. I agree that the projections for him may end in a GOAT case. But all of this is already known. This is not breaking news. This is a fluff piece. That’s it. Fluff.
This is not the evolution of basketball. Victors era will likely be an outlier with nothing to compare with.
Yo this guy is just saying the same shit over and over. This video is 10 minutes longer than it needs to be.
wemby, vassell, and sochan will be the new duncan, parker, and ginobili. go spurs
Nope. Sochan is not a PG (everybody saw that) and Vassell will never be Manu. Vassell will be good and Sochan fights well but the Big Three was another stuff.
Chet Holgram better vorp better bpm 3 less turnovers per 100 possessions shots way better and defensively not much of a drop off.
Chet is 3rd option and is never doubled or tripled because nobody can leave SGA, Giddey or Jalen all alone. Being a rookie (even a second year one) in such a great team is perfect to be wide open and shine. Put Chet in this season Spurs, his shoot ratings will go down and his TOs will increase massively.
Did you just say AD is having mvp season so far??? I stopped the video there 🤣 you’re on crack
What if victor whent to Boston
What if the sun was cold?
@@Jeremiah17seven we’d die
The Celtics might have a worse record, depending who they gave up to get him.
@@richatlarge462 but if he stayed longer to I chould see 69-13
@@grantintocontent8361Could be. I guess we'll never know. He'd have to stop shooting threes though.
It's like Space Jam. It sucks!
I actually think he is the goat …. Lebron just put the mark
What else in the vocabulary not mentioned?
No problem so far. Other teams keep winning, Victor can't guard their top scorers, and he is inefficient on offense. When he's on the court the Spurs do not outscore opponents. So no, the league has no problem with him. Maybe one day, but not now, and probably not next year either.
Do you even understand basketball?
@@telramba I certainly do, I should be abundantly clear by what I wrote. Is your head in the sand?
You mean: he won't win the NBA after his first 4 months in the league SO he's not dangerous, not efficient in offense or in defense (despite the video shown), not a fantastic rookie player ?
Ok...
@@delphzouzou4520He's ROTY but still not dangerous to other teams. Both things can be (and are) true.
@@richatlarge462 His team isn't dangerous. Mainly because Pop tanks like last season. 30 games with Sochan as a PG and Collins in the paint, your best player under 30 minutes, the bench on the floor in money time, letting two guys play hero ball : if you were half as clever as you think, you would understand Pop doesn't want wins. Just enough to not be convinced of. Spurs could have won easily 15 games more. What for ? Losing a top pick ?
you respond like kyrie....
repetitive
First
Not much of a problem. Every time I see a Victor highlight, every single time 9 out 10 times, Spurs were losing or getting blown out.
They're building a new team. That's how it works.
@@Jeremiah17seven Spurs has been tanking and sucking for 3 seasons. No excuses next season if Spurs still suck.
Not better than Bol Bol btw
I agree to disagree with this vid.
Chet Who 😂
Nope spurs have a problem their players sucked
