What did the Spurs do to deserve this? Why does God love the San Antonio Spurs so much?

This was a revenge game for him cause in last years opener against Dallas he played horribly. Just look up the thread for it

It was the monks

What the fuck happened to Wemby’s handle?!

It is so absurdly, unbelievably good in these highlights.

hakeem said, “when you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave”

Dream-Big Fundamental-Big Ticket-Pop-Monks-NASA-Chessmaster

Something amazing

There were some plays where I just laughed. He did a spin away from the basket baseline into a fading long 2 going out of bounds. Splashed it. Like what do you even do?

is this the greatest opening night game of all time

AD looked like a child against him. Legitimately insane

Wemby will still be younger than Jimmy Butler in 2040

The league is more talented than it’s ever been by a very wide margin, and yet it still feels like he’s good enough to completely break it anyways.

Its year 3, he’s still going to be the DPOY and now his offense developed enough to get 40 on 20 shots? the entire league is fucked

Hell nah, this is your guys’ fault so you gotta deal with it. Should’ve signed Hakeem to a no-Wemby clause when you had the chance.

Put this build on 2k and /r/nba2k tells you that you’re a piece of shit

Nathan Drake could parkour off his shoulder

Maybe I’m crazy and recency bias and all that, but like…

…is he already the best player in the league?

He’s a 99 everything at 7’5+

That’s what Shaq said at half time essentially but he was serious

Why does Wemby, the tallest of the Spurs, not simply eat the other players?

Are they stupid?

Right what are they stupid?

He’s the wilt chamberlain of Michael Jordans

Dude has

• GOAT level rim protection
• Amazing lateral mobility and can stay on the perimeter
• Extendo arms that dunks anything within 8 ft of the hoop
• Hakeem’s post game
• KD’s midrange game and shooting
• Handles the ball like a point guard

Ohtani of the NBA is here

The whole time I was watching I literally was like “this is the greatest basketball player I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes”

Like obviously it’s early and he has a long ways to go when it comes to all time great conversations but purely from a “build a perfect player in a lab” scenario like you just make what you saw tonight and hit print

at this point, even if injuries derail his career and he never wins anything, I’m still saying I saw the greatest player ever

Every player going to be playing chess, reading books, and training with monks in the off season now

Dude was doing Curry slides

stat sheet won’t even capture the impact he had on the other side. Mavs couldn’t do shit on offense

I also liked ‘he’s a figment of our basketball imaginations’

Imagine telling a Spurs fan from 1997 your next #1 overall pick would be better than David Robinson. Then imagine telling that same Spurs fan 20 years later, after Duncan retires top 10 all time, their next one would be even better than him.

If he really wants to he can win MVP, DPOTY, 1st Team All NBA, 1st Team All Defense, All Star MVP, etc in a season

youngest mvp ever?

If his body wants it

Why I chose him as the MVP and why I had the Spurs as a playoff lock.

Teams don’t wait until it’s time, they show you. The Spurs lucking into 2 Lottery Picks while adding Fox made this season Go Time for them. They are babies but no one wants to see them. Not moving Keldon, Vassell, or Sochan while adding Castle, Harper, and Bryant to veterans in Barnes, Champaigne, and Kornet makes them so versatile on both ends. They have everything but experience, their run starts now

They have the best defensive player in the league who already showed the capabilities to score 25 in this league. Tonight shows that 30 can be an every game thing for him. The best defensive player in the league being able to score 30 and rebound while being on a team full of weapons. This is a legit squad. This is the MVP.

SA needs to be at least a 7 seed and his stats have to be absurd

The monks were just there to remind him to be humble.

One of his hardest matchups too. Insane

I love seeing this from a lakers fan. I agree with you more than I ever thought possible.

Slide 5k my way and I got you bro 💯

And MIP too

Spurs may not win a ring this year but I am absolutely preparing for some superstar’s reputation to get sent to the trash after Wemby upsets them in the first round because he chose to do so

Maybe this is a wild take but idk how much Fox is changing this team, Castle looked pretty good as a primary ball handler and Fox is just gonna shoot more and take the ball outta Wembys hands.

Only a matter of time before we get the honored wemby

I think this is the last year.

You forgot a scoring title as well

That would just make Wemby even more better than everyone else unfortunately

Ooo I like that. WemVP

Yes, for Wemby probably.

Fans: “He’s 7’5 how is he not just dunking everything?”

Wemby: Aight bet. I’ll make some fadeaways too tho just to flex
