    Good play, still see him being overhyped and injury prone. Lil longer career than Greg Oden

    Wemby and Chet look good day 1 but that body type has injury risk written all over it.

    My money is on Banchero and Jabari having longer and better careers than Chet and Wemby.

    Victor looks too good to be true against the Miami scrubs.

    He’s just so ridiculously skilled…the physical advantages on top of that make it crazier

    It feels so natural to settle into hating the Spurs again. Has been hard to do in recent years because they've been irrelevant but now it just feels right to turn that hate dial up.

    **** Wembanyama. **** Pop. **** the dumb River walk. I hate San Antonio

    My money is that comments like this don't make it suck any less to have spent years praying for Victor and only get an Amen

    Wemby is a once - a - few - decades treat. I'd take his career and not think twice and neither would you

    I swear every Victor game I've watched has gone the same way. Hype leading up to it, I'm checked out by the 2nd quarter and go do something else. He's just not a fun watch. The only time I've sat through one of his games was when he played against Scoot Henderson. I don't know what it is, he's just kinda boring.

    Nah I take Amen all day everyday, swear to God if Spurs offered me Wemby for Amen straight up I'd still take Amen . Amen is as much of a unicorn at the pg spot as Wemby at the PF spot, except he doesn't come with injury concerns. Wemby is 7'3 so what? Amen is 6'7 pg with top 5% athleticism. Just look at that photo of Amen vs Scoot tell me Amen is a poor consolation prize lmao.

    It's dumb to pray for a rookie before he is even eligible, so many things can change over the years. That's like saying you spent years praying for Emoni Bates.

    Calling Wemby a multidecade talent is premature to me, just exaggeration and over hype. He didn't even dominate SL in a way that showed he was a multi generational talent, he ain't even a lock for ROY lmao. He played good but even his last game 20/5 is really good but doesn't scream he is a multi decade talent...thats just Paolo Banchero territory.

    A multi generational talent to me is Shaq, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Hakeem. These guys made an instant impact and immediately made their team relevant after being total dumpsters the year before. What the expectation for Wemby? Will he make the Spurs a 0.500 team this year?

    Victor Wembanyama is just the French Emoni Bates is certainly a take.

    Rack him Jim

    I never said he is the French Emoni bates but since you spent years praying for Wemby did you also spend years praying for Emoni?

    Bates had the SI cover Wemby didn't so I bet you prayed for Emoni harder than Wemby right?

    No, I'm pretty sure Victor Wembanyama is going to be a more successful player than Emoni Bates and is going to be an all star level player - probably this year - hot take, look out.

    The fact that he's freakishly good at basketball leads me to believe this.

    I don't know, there's something about seeing a 7-5 octopus crossover NBA players like Allen Iverson that seems - kind of unique?
