[Official] Victor Wembanyama as a Spurs thread

saying you’d take Amen over Wemby is hilarious

crack corrupts the mind

 

Imagine Ralph Sampson in this era

Rocket River

 

How do you process your 10% hit rate on attempted zingers, witty quips, and humor?

Do you just makes 10x more posts? Do you try to improve quality? What does someone who has nothing to say, but doesn't stop talking, do in this situation?

Or were you like a 5% hit rate a few years ago and you're on the come?

 

This board is infested with braindead hot takes smh

 

Reddit(yes, I know) thinks that Wemby will be like MJ where he's going to win so many titles that other all time greats that will go against him will be stonewalled from winning them which is way too premature

 

All that there when Zach Edgey >>> Wemby anyway, just misdirecting energies here

 

"20 games still more than 15" will transform into "it doesn't matter" the moment the Spurs win 2 more games to get to 20 wins. Lol.

Wow.

 

So they are going with dumb myths? Jordan won 6 times. Those other greats lost to Dream and Duncan too.

 

His man dropped over 40 on him and they lost.

 

I am kind of surprised that Pop is giving Wemby so much of a green light to take outside 3s.

Really keen to see how much of a leap he makes in year two. 28, 12, 5, and 4 would be nuts for a 2nd year player, but seems within reach given the trajectory of his rookie season. Please, please — just stay healthy.

 

Some of the most impressive things about Wemby is stuff that doesn't make the highlight reels

This play from last night - Jokic backs Wemby down, Wemby loses balance, falls, literally has his hand on the floor while Jokic starts his full extension on his hook shot ....

....and Wemby then gets up and nearly blocks the shot off the backboard.

You’re impressed by a guy falling down while playing defense then nearly blocking a shot? On a guy that hit him for 40+…in a game he lost?

Interesting.

You must have been very impressed with Robinson’s defense on Dream in the 95 WCF’s. He only avg 35 against him, and he nearly blocked him after getting shook a lot.

 

The factions will be divided on Wemby till he really dominates and wins games by himself.

Calling a 17 or 18 year old generational before a Draft is the worst thing the NBA has done.......

The NBA has turned into a bigger joke than in the past. Did they really sell out more merchandise because of that?

These forking social media voices are the worst.....right next to putting Sochan as its PG.

 

Looking at SAS' schedule, barring teams benching guys for rest at the end of the season, they can go 2 - 4 to get to 20 wins by beating Memphis and Detroit.

Still two wins fewer than when they tanked for Wemby, lmao.

Yeah bro Considering that the consensus among NBA cognoscenti (and among those of us who actually watch games rather than look up box scores ) is that if anything Wembanyama exceeded his generational talent hype - you'd kind of have to be an idiot to think this year 1 of the Wembanyama experience was a let down

Now I see you're worried about warring factions - let me let you in on a little secret, there's a whole bunch of people on the Internet who will take the opposing side of anything - the earth being flat, birds being real, Wembanyama being 'the French Emoni Bates" or mumbling nonsequiturs about 29 years ago in response to a highlight or a near quadruple double or whatever

These people - and I hate to break this to you - may not be acting 100% in good faith - and may just enjoy the attention they seek, regardless of its timbre.

The NBA (or whoever) should do - precisely nothing - to appease this " faction." You can clutch your pearls and worry about them or just watch thie best defender in the NBA for the next decade - do this ****:



I mean lol WTF

 

Lol, imagine thinking Reddit is worse than here, where 5 posters bury all the good content with complete ****.

 

He’s very clearly the best rookie ever already, but your post is wrong. It’s not because people are dishonest, it’s because they’re stupid. Sure a few people bet against his rookie season stats, but the vast majority are just incapable of processing what they’re seeing.
