    Love this man. What an absolute gentlemen. Didn't say a cross word about ANYONE despite being given multiple layup questions with which to do so (Jordan bulls vs Dream rox).

    And after finally watching Wemby play a full game last night all I can say is Dream's he's right. F'n Wemby has everything. And I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoyed the **** out of watching him play. Oh well :(.

    It has always been his health that holds him back. Wouldn't hold my breath on him playing a full season

    Wemby has that "is this even real?" factor that a lot of the greats have tbh, it's mindblowing watching him some times. As much as people brag on Amen's athleticism, young LeBron looked way more alien (maybe just because we'd never seen it at that size in the modern game, and Amen's come after loads more, who knows) and just jaw dropping some of the stuff he used to pull off. I used to watch a lot of Eastern conference basketball at that time just to catch the LeBron games in his early Cleveland days because he was just doing crazy ass **** I'd never seen or thought was possible. Wemby's like that on steroids. I actually hope he stays a perimeter player and doesn't really get the idea to fully bang inside because if he starts playing like a real big on top of the crazy **** he's already doing I don't think anybody will come close. I could genuinely believe him having a stranglehold on BOTH MVP and DPOY for a long time. That's scary.

    Sessions with Hakeem...kung-fu at a Shaolin temple in China...just your typical NBA player offseason

    Boban was as tall as Wemby, but slightly worse (although much more adorable)

    Damn, it's heartbreaking to hear our NBA great talk about a ****ing Spur.

    Tilman needs to pony up for Alpi having exclusive training with Hakeem all next summer.

    Do we really need Reed to learn how to miss dream shakes as well as 3 pointers?

    Why? He's trying to make some money. It's probably over 75k a session with Hakeem. Can't blame him

    On a show they said Wemby was dream shaking. Saw the highlights and it resembled a Slim- Fast shake rather than a Dream shake.
    Now I run the risk of the algorithm sending nothing but Spurs highlights .

    I think his loyalty goes beyond the Rockets.....that was fairly obvious now.....he wants to work with the best of the best.

    Recent examples merely include Giannis, Alpe and Wemby.

    No issues with Dream sharing. He is the GOAT and any success Wendy has will credited to Hakeem. Kobe couldn’t have done it without Dream.

    I liked that he was wearing Rocket shorts during the workout so he’s still loyal
