    Say something neutral about another team's player -> clearly a fan of that other team.

    Neutral? lol.

    He's the first rookie I know of that has to have a security detail follow him not to mention that backhands a woman for no legitimate reason sans apology. That demands what position he will play. That controls which summer league games he will play in.

    Fixable? There are some things you can't teach - it's called character.

    Yes, neutral. I have no bias towards the Spurs, but you seem awfully keen on coming at Wemby, as if he did something to you.

    So it's wrong to have a security detail, when your celebrity status is that high? Not to mention, he's more easily recognizable than a LeBron or a Zion, even just walking around a casino. You don't have to know he's a basketball player to marvel at his height.

    Victor didn't backhand anyone - security was just doing its job. And "for no legitimate reason?" Hello??? It's security - their livelihood is literally to prevent unsafe incidents from happening. Doesn't matter if it's a 5'4'' unassuming woman or not. You shouldn't come up to a person and attempt to touch them.

    If you had security detail around you, would you want random people to come up to you and attempt to touch you? I just don't get your logic - or lackthereof.

    Again, he's 19 years old. Strange how people are expecting him to know how to act in every single situation, every single second of the day.

    What even are the character issues you're referring to? It's ironic that you're crapping on a teenager's character when you, yourself, are trying to be a keyboard warrior for...Britney? She doesn't know you exist, bruh.

    I don't know Victor. I don't know you. But I'll take a page out of your playbook and make wild conclusions - his character is already better than yours, based off this simple forum interaction.

    Lol, classic. Speaking of character, you'll notice I haven't said anything about yours. I'll leave it at that.

    To be fair, when LeBron came into the league, social media was still not as rampant as now. The microscopic scrutiny and the lightning speed of news spreading just put 1000 times pressure on celebs.

    He is a bust for someone called a better prospect than Lebron James.

    It's not enough for Wemby to not just be a normal good young player he needs to be a generational talent to fulfill the expections people have off him.

    It's not like Wemby didn't ask for this either, he has embraced the limelight and bought into his own hype as well based on his interviews and sound bites. He said Scoot Henderson would be the no 1 pick if he hadn't been born. He made a mandate about wanting to be good immediately and bringing rings to SAS. Of course he had that smirk and arm pump when the Rox got the 4rth pick. In his draft interview he said one word to describe him is Unique cuz there's never been anyone as special as him. So yeah he wanted the smoke so he better play up to par.

    Did you see the video? He didn't do anything. Britney grabbed him from behind and his security slapped Britney's hands away.

    I don't like the kid but you can't blame him for that issue since that's 100% Britney Spears fault.

    A) There is no evidence Britney even grabbed him.
    B) I'm not criticizing him for the reaction of his security detail but his handling of it afterwards, "Hey well, I am just trying to get to dinner and all these peeps wanting a piece of me blah blah blah" - that's his reaction after your security guy just slapped Britney Spears? Geez. Not, "Wow I'm sorry that happened to her" lol


    Man, this forum is full of fake Rocket fans and Wemby jock strappers. Need @tinman in here to start teaching these guys. ;)

    Alright time to sip my haterade and watch Bustyambanyamama make a fool of himself today.

    Whose going to put him on a poster today? Too bad Scoot isn't playing, might have put him on the floor once or twice.
