The bad news for any other team is that even if he has an off night offensively, he’s always gonna show up defensively.
Crazy skill and great work ethic , team player.
Stay healthy young man!
Dude ain't No elite defender, definitely not proven. You a muppet clear as day
Uuhh aawwww wow what are you a sports caster or a fake player wlel never knew about 😮
Agreed. His impact on the game is evident even when he ‘struggles’’. If he plays well, and the Spurs win more than expected, he could be in mvp conversation - u heard it here first!
Kinda like rudy gobert.
And honestly if you hit him in the right spots he is NOT missing
He has the potential to be a legendary player if he can stay healthy. He seems to be a good kid, with a great head on his shoulders. Positive mindset and competitive as well. Calm and composed, a bit like Duncan. Scary for the league.
He has the movement of Robinson & Duncan on the court. He's going to be great if he keeps it up. He's only 19 too
Fact. My wife and we’re literally just having this discussion. We both hope that he can stay healthy and not be like AD as far as seemingly always being hurt.
All I ever see is people saying "If he can stay healthy" and "But his health" he looks like he could be as healthy as KD has been in his career, which isn't exactly iron man but better than nothing, his game doesn't look super aggressive so most of it will come down to luck, like not landing on someone's foot. But it seems weird all anyone talks about is his health, why put the bad mojo out there constantly?
Mainly because dudes his size almost always have shorter careers and are more prone to the harsher types of injuries. I agree though that since he has a relativly skinny frame like KD he will have less wear @@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817
@@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817 just cause of the history of tall guys getting hurt i think, but back then they went straight at eachother if he plays passive and doesn’t go for any crazy dunks he’ll be fine
Rookie of the year, defensive player and nba all star mark my words
Second coming of David Robinson with Duncan mixes
Don't forget Bust Simmons
@@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegendnah, he’s not like anything we’ve seen. not a combo of anyone just him
washington not in PO and jokic all star mark my words
Playing wemby is the first time a lot of the guys have felt small and helpless in a game of basketball in their whole lives
Wait isn’t boban like 7’3-7’4 and tacko was 7’6? Not saying Wemby isn’t tall or anything
@@masonmason1063both of them are not as mobile as Wemby.
I love every highlight Wemby is hustling! no celebration, he is back on defense every play
he's disrupting fast breaks every chance he gets and he makes an impact overall. reminds me of Manu in how hungry he plays
No cap, he has potential to end the Jordan v bron debate 😭 man is crazy. Makes winning plays, unselfish player. Perimeter threat with Quick defensive reaction, fluid and efficient shooting with his own shot creating ability. Generational talent truly, we should not take these moments lightly we’re witnessing greatness.
The new GOAT has arrived.
Fax
Any "Jordan v bron debate" was a lost cause by summer 2011, really.
No goat in any sport can be under .500 in title opportunities his whole career. It's absurd to ignore this.
He is definitely in that talent sphere, but so many things need to go right in order for him to be in that conversation.
@@shaft9000 6-0 in a harder generation of basketball. What lebron did isn’t that impressive compare to what Jordan had to deal with. Much easier to score in todays game
His jump shot is pure
All hype aside, this kid is a freak. Huge potential.
He does not play like a rookie. He is just too confident and wont shy away from anything
You chose Facts today!
Before entering the NBA, he already played in a pro league in France against grown men. He is more than prepared
Already looks much stronger, on-balance and coordinated than he was in summer league. Can tell he works really hard. Add that with his generational talent and hes going to be something out of this world
He was tired this summer. The season was long with the Mets
He was so tired in the summer league and was nervous. Do people remember he's a teenager still?
He was cooking the same way last year with Mets 92. He just had a really long season and he was tired entering the summer league. People shouldn't have based their opinion over this. He has room for improvement, but he is already playing like he has been in the league for multiples season. Just watch him play and enjoy :)
Low IQ comment
Duncan and Robinson are working with him, he couldn`t come to the better place in the world.
I predict at least 3 titles but it depends how fast Spurs organisation will be in rebuilding.
If they do it in next 2 years he could win 5 or more, he is just undefendable
Combination of Kareem Abdul Jabar, Tim Duncan, Wilt Chamberlain with point guard like handles this kid is special 🎉
I NEVER pictured him being a perimeter defensive threat against NBA players. Guys his size are just too slow away from the basket.
He keeps shattering what I think is possible every time he steps on the floor.
That’s the craziest part; it’s not only the length, it’s the timing.
Wemby’s blocking their shots after being beaten of the dribble, hooks & pump fakes.
He’s making a mockery of some elite players skills…he blocked Wiggins 3x & clay shooting a three, Steph using the rim as a likely shield, nothing seemed to work or matter when he was in the vicinity.
Great potential.
Bro exactly what I was thinking he's amazing how quick he is for being that tall, usually bigs get blown by but not wemby it's crazy how quick he is
@@applechili2848 at this point idk if its actually the players beating him or if he's letting them beat him on the floor, his timing's different from literally anyone else and maybe its actually in his favor if the opponent thinks he's beaten Wemby and takes a shot while still in his range lol. If the Spurs get a guard who can work in tandem with him and back him up when players adjust to his reach and timing, they could block literally any move by any player lol. Steph and Dame's logo 3 pointers would be the only anti-Wemby weapon still left, you'd need like a prime Bron or a Giannis in full flow to blow past him.
It's because you're a bot, he ain't even looked above NBA average so far. You clowns just typing words, they don't mean shit though.
@@americanbullies1247you're pathetic
Wemby has only played 4 pre-season games and has already managed to fascinate the audience with his game 😱 As long as he stays healthy, it will be a very fun experience to follow his development 🔥
You mean the Internet audience who go off what they hear. You bots are trash dude.
It's pure insanity. He averaged 2.8 blocks in 21 minutes a game in the preseason
The nba is lucky to have this guy - He should be the face of the league soon. I'm happy for Wemby and the Spurs.
how quick he was with his feet defending/keeping up with Wiggins is what impressed me the most
He destroyed Wiggins. Blocked him 3x.
No joke… dude is already looking like he’s going to be a top 5 player of all time. Possibly with the potential to be even more than that…. Crazy man.
It’s good to have new generational talent coming in, especially since some of the greats are retiring soon
@@calebpagan2226 keeps the game fresh
he is amazing, but it is the preseason
Wouldn't get your hopes up too high. The odds of keeping his legs healthy year after year are not good for anyone that tall.
I don’t watch basketball but I am hyped watching this kid
Man that last game for Wemby with the warriors was like a grown up man playing with kids. I legit felt sad for Wiggins specially that part where he tried to blow by Wemby and still got clamped and blocked
😂 for sure
ROTY, DPOY, MVP and All-Star in his first season. Let’s go!
That's what I said
cant MVP
Il est déjà entrain d’humilier les plus grands noms du basket !!! C’EST TROP !!! 🤣😁🇫🇷
Ngl this kid is the future face of the nba
Wow! It’s like he just waltzed in and took the three point threat away from Golden State. There is something scary about that!
6:13 This play on repeat on any team. is unstoppable.
It’s literally a cheat code!! That play should be banned 😂
Yeah, if they spread the floor with shooters, no one is getting to that lob in the key before him - his defender can only grab him.
He's the only one who can get those lob, insane!!!
TY Timestamp Warrior!
This Kid will be exciting to watch!!! He's such a touch match up for anyone having to guard him!! Ima huge fan already!! If he stays healthy the San Antonio Spurs will be back to dominating the NBA! 🖤🩶🤍
Who else hyped for the regular season? 🔥🔥🔥
I can’t wait!
Every. Spurs. Fan 🥳🥳🥳
Already know which team I'm following on league pass
Yeahhh baby!!!!!
We back in it!!
14 minutes. From four games. These highlights are 🔥🔥
Already a future hall of fame. 🔥
He straight from 2k my builder with 99 potential
this guy is unreal. holy hell. is this how watching Lebron felt for the first time
for old heads in 2003?
LeBron was barely defending, as a rookie. Wemby does it all...
naaa this a different feeling
Different feelings. LeBron was better than most rookies we had seen before, ready for the league, very good but a "only" a better version of what had been done before. Wembanyama is different and does different things, I find it more exciting.
Please. Lebron was a run and dunk rookie. There was nothing special about lebron and still nothing special today. 21 years in the league, only skill is bully ball and dunk.
What we are witnessing here is out of something special. Don't bring Lequeen into this.
No this is entirely different. This experience is on a whole different dimension.
He is going to be a
Legend !
He gonna surpass everyone you can’t think of in a few years !
For anyone moving to San Antonio for this kid I’m a Realtor and would love to help you out😊
The super long arms and huge hands and very good mobility for a guy his size makes him so awesome on defense. Good 6 ft 9 players think they have enough distance from him and he blocks them without jumping much where the ball hits the bottom of his hand like a foot below his finger tips. He can get beat and block players shot from way behind, crazy. Wemby is like a computer graphics Avatar super hero, it just makes you shake your head against the best players in the world.
Been watching the nba closely for over 20 years now and also studied every former great. This guy is the craziest talent with the highest ceiling I have ever seen. Feels like the evolutionary Kareem with a skill mix of Kd and Giannis, with half a foot more height😂. The fuidity of a his low crossover to go into a pullup is the most insane thing I have ever seen from a human being in this sport. He is literally as tall as Yao freaking Ming and moves like a 6'9 guy. I always consider Kd an anomaly in regards to his guard skills at 7 feet, but this is the next level. Knocking on wood that he has a long and healthy career, barring injury this might just be the beginning of the career of the greatest plaser ever!
He’s exactly what’s they predicted he was gonna be. This is amazing how versatile he is
His ceiling is sky high. Wish him a healthy and long career 🙏
Hearing that warrior crowd reacting to him positively was cool
Generational talent. Please stay healthy!
Ma man wembanyana is the future
Tbh, I'm already looking forward to Wemby duelling KD. Two 7 footers with incredible shooting touch and handles.
Just stay heathy Victor! you will be the next BIG thing! 2-3 years form now you'll be the NBA!
Chamberlain of the 2020s, He's going to be ahead of his time.
Chamberlain was just ahead of his time in term of size and athleticism, but he had low IQ and was a bad team player, its only when he got old and started to play team ball with great defense like Bill Russel that he won his only 2 Titles, he averaged 16ppg when he won his 1st title, so Wilt scoring is overated, watch Ben Taylor from thinking basketball video about him, his team offense wasnt even good when he averaged 50 🤷🏾♂️
So i would say he is more like the new Kareem, Magic, Bird, MJ, Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, Lebron, Curry, KD, Giannis and Jokic, every generation you have like 2-3 players above every other players, and Wemby will be one of them he will dominate the late 2020’s and early 2030’s imo .. He has the skillset to be very durable, just like Duncan, he played his first 9 season at the 4, he had the athleticism and motor to be the offense primary option and to anchor the defense as well with his rim protection, and when he got slower and bigger he played the 5 for his last 10 seasons, anchoring the defense with his rim protection, size and lenght will always be there, and on offense he played a role in a system, and just had a great feel for the game, simple and effective, and i think Wemby career will be similar, except he will be better offensively, and maybe defensively too, wich would probably make him the GOAT, or at least Top 4 …
@@Anthonydu01630he actually was a great team player contrary to many people’s statements
The thing is wilt isn’t gonna be play making when his best teammates never even averaged half his career ppg
Also his team didn’t have that many great shooters (Early 60s) so kicking out options are beyond limited
Wilt was ahead of his team in literally every single aspect of the game
From a 7 footer shooting 1 legged fade ways to him taking the ball coast to coast.
Also wilt couelve been the most selfish people ever and had he played in any decade years from 1974-2014 he would’ve been the undisputed goat when he didn’t have 5 hof starting againist him for 80% of his career.
@@universalplayz7496 wilt was very selfish 😂...bill Russell said so ...all he had to do is get wilt in to foul trouble early in the game snd wilt would completely stop playing defense so.he could get his averages for the game 😅
@@Anthonydu01630 day 1 in the league wemby is top 20 of players in nba this season.
@TheTonytone77 so your saying the best player on the team with 4 foils to his name in the first half should go hard on defenses? Wilt being within 100 feet of the painted area is already hall of fame shot deterance he doesn't even have to do anything else to begin with....
The refs already give petty fouls on wilt every single game, wilt literally making any tiny contanct on defense gets him fouls. I don't know how literally trying to stay on the court to help you team win is being selfish... you know what actually selfish literally doing nothing to stop yourself from getting a 6th foul and being tossed out the game...
Idk what bill word have anything to do with this
Bills the same dude that called wilt selfish for not playing with a broken leg in game 7 of the 1969 finals even thought 1. He wanted to
2. His coach wouldn't sub him in.
I've seen enough! this kid will be up there with the Legends!
Wemby making nba players look like high school prospects
You can tell he’s going to be a legend in years to come!
This guy is like you blended KD, Giannis and Gobert this is scary 😂
9:00 man listen to that crowd
cheers for that interception, and then as soon as victor nutmegs, the crowd instantly turns into ohs and ahs in astonishment
Pop is so happy rn 😂😂
He rarely flex,
his head is low,
he's HIM
GoSpursGo
after watching this, the fact that scoot thinks he deserves the #1 pick is hilarious and downright delusional. Even without his height, Wemby's basketball IQ, decisions, passing, hustle and help D is crazy and he does not seem like a rookie at all. The way he plays D reminds me of a cold blooded psychopath, he gives just enough space for his man to receive the ball and attempt a shot, only to crush their hopes and dreams with a 13ft swat. Throwing a oop to him is a cheat code for free points and assists.
Scoot is a legit #1 pick caliber player, being in the same draft as the best prospect ever sucks but it is what it is
And players across the league now had to change their shooting mechanic, shooting is now more akin to lobbing artillery shell to negates wemby's defensive range.. and not only change their mechanics but at the same time quickens their release timing.
Imagine he learns an unstoppable move like the sky hook🤯🔥
He has so much potential, let's hope he can become the best version he can be in a couple of years, what a talent, and he is also very fast for his length
Getting flashbacks of streetball when I was the tallest(older) one, not blocking all the other team shots to keep the game exiting..
Not to compare this is the NBA and He’s still a rookie’ much respect!
He is a monster. Still preseason right now. These guys will get their act together
Es un gustazo verle jugar, esa naturalidad con la que juega es terapéutica
Every play is wild 😂
His ability to recover defensively is uncanny. He cover half of the floor in half court possessions without trying
This man is literally those 7ft demi god builds off 2K15 😂😂 can’t stop a 7’5 mf moving like that
Every one keeps saying as long as he stays healthy…. I feel like he is so talented he can be less mobile and still dominate
Draymond watching this guy in the shadows which limbs he’d go for
Wemby at 7'4 has started becoming a nightmare on any team right now (Eric Spoelstra counts as#1 on this belief). Warrior has a great night on that game but it was dwarfed by this kid as he's just 19, imagine only at 19! Oh my, what more if he'll become adept at the rotation as there are still more rooms for improvements. Commissioner himself Adam Silver quoted- this year's draft pick is one of the most important as we're about to see a prospect of interest for this generation.
imagine of he can develop that skyhook 😲😲 at 7'4 8' wing span! Gameover.
He remembers me a young T-Mac, but 7 4" 😮😮
agree.👍👍
This kid's got the stuff
Great compilation
Just WOW. What a freak of nature and he is only 19. He literally defies what physically should be possible for someone even close his size. Looks like a custom character where you maxed out height just for fun. He's gonna be a Superstar really quick no doubt.
He looks so good that .. he might legit be a MVP and DPOTY candidate in his rookie season.
Wemby hitting Wiggins with the pumpfake is a thing is beauty
If spurs get another true scorer and or all star caliber player, it's over!! This kid is insane!! To be able pick at will what you want to excel in each game either defensively or offensively is just out of this world!!
The Spurs have the most cap space and money of any team. There is a lot of talent on this team to be moved, all the pieces wont fit together. Compound that with the money they have, someone is going to be moved this season for a high caliber established star. Imagine the players that will want to play with the Spurs after seeing the roster. And if that don't happen because the Spurs (or Vic) isnt happy with the options on the market then they will absolutely land a star player in the offseason. Typically trades tend to offer the best value but since the Spurs have the most to offer dollar wise and the most valued picks for several years, I can see this as an inevitability.
The Louvre for his nickname since this is art
WeMbanyaMa, c’mon announcers. I understand it’s a new name and mistakes happen. What I don’t get is how a producer doesn’t take half a second to say “hey it’s yama not yana.”
I have never seen 7 footers play in NBA like Wembanyama does.He is worth every nickle and dime that SA paid for this guy.
I've always been a huge fan of the BIG man in the NBA and he's the biggest star yet, so, my vision is locked in on this specimen 🧐 Entertain us BIG fella ✊️
He's MAGIC !
Excited to see him mature!
I just noticed watching these highlights, he has the same expression and demeanor of Duncan at free throw line and walking up court. Already exciting to watch, now to see how strong he can get over next few seasons while maintaining agility and athletcism.
12:34 I dont know. . .when he waited for homie to try something and dunked on em anyway, I'd say Wemby's got that swag appeal! Yes, he's toying with ppl now 😁
Just when I thought Lebrons scoring title was safe.
Victor Wembanyama is one of the most intriguing prospects I've ever seen enter the league, thanks to his incredible size, length, mobility and awesome skill level.
This dude's about to be the GOAT, I wish him a happy and healthy career, sky's the limit!
Stay locked in like vic
This kid might be the GOAT one day
Forget his offense, forget his defense. His mobility is what is the most eye popping. At that height, that length? To be able to move the way he does. The way his can shift his weight so easily and switch stances to stay defensively strong on the perimeter? Incredible.
Block at 0:42 dude is a force
NBA, this is the biggest glaze in nba history.
Its crazy to think he has more to improve in terms of making his moves more fluid and efficient under the NBA's skills coaches etc. His post game/footwork is gonna benefit tremendously.. It wont be a surprise if to see him doing more step-backs and hesis in a year or so
The new goat in a few years
And they said Wemby is weak and not fit in the NBA LOL. Give this guy more years and you'll see a monster.
Hot take:
Victor wembanyama will have the first quadruple double since 1994 within 3 seasons.
He is so good!
Love that Shaq style dunk
No need for the nickname machine, "The Alien" is enough for this out of this world talent.
My create player "99" overall demigod 😊
He is so polished and with his size just towers over everyone. Gonna be an all star this year for sure. I would even place bets on him for dpoy and mvp. Gotta good chance if the spurs make the playoffs. Gonna be a monster for years to come.
He's better than I thought.🤷 Very impressive regardless of it being pre-season.
Parker, Duncan, and Robinson blended together. Pop dream has come true
Amazing game 👍
This guy is going to do great things.
Simply the best !!! 💪💪💪❤💙💚
