Victor Wembanyama full highlights vs Mavs: 40 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks in 30 minutes
Jesus Christ
Like that quote from Bird: “God disguised as Michael Jordan”
I said “wtf” like for 10 plays.
He’s like the real life basketball version of Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.
I want him to learn the skyhook soon lmaoo..just for the shits and giggles
And rebrand it as Space Hook, because of the height of his release point (and because it would be out of this world, baby)
Spacehook
how can he dribble like that
He was loooking like a bigger Giannis out there with a much better shot. League fucked.
Exactly what I thought
Giannis with the shot making ability of Kevin Durant.
And with a guy taller than Boban.
That’s the thing that jumped out to me as well. His handle looks waaaay better this season.
How can she slap?!
The guards are giving him the ball off the rebound and letting him run point…and he’s hitting step back 3s. There isn’t any way to guard this dude that doesn’t put your tallest player into open space against an elite ball handler…that’s got 4 inches on him. Just unreal
Also imagine getting AD for the defense and watching him get absolutely roasted play after play?
So much ridiculous shit in this clip. Straight lil bro-ing ad flagg and lively 😭😭
AD was rusty but still, Wemby absolutely decimated the best possible guy you can put against him
They would be a team I thought may slow him a bit considering they’ve recently reorganized the team to focus on defense, although you can’t really tell from these clips, and they have length.
Mavs have also been very successful in the past at stopping Wemby
Damn everyone going to get ran through huh?
1:30
come on.
You can’t be that tall and be doing that shit. The league needs to come down on this.
7 foot tall Steph
1 foot 3 inches taller than Steph and he does this shit SMH my head
If this dude stays healthy, we’re gonna forget Jordan and Bron existed in like 15 years
Little did we know that this is the best interior defence he would ever face this season
He looks like If you stretched KD vertically without maintaining aspect ratio
Vector file
I am a victorphile
man fuck this shit
Having wemby and luke kornet on the same team is just not fair
Jesus he’s just insane. Spurs fans are gonna be eating good for the next 15 years lol
We Spurs fans always eating good.
Not just the men, but the women and the children too.
Something something big old san antonio women
He is doing this and at least in theory we should have some good match ups for him like Lively who did well against him in the past, AD, PJ etc. but he was unstopable, like a cheatcode.
There’s currently 10 Wemby highlights/related posts on the front page….
thnx for that fun fact
Didnt want you to miss out 🤙
Sengun and Jokic are about to be done so dirty
Edit: Chet as well lol
Sengun has given Wemby problems before, I’m curious to see if anything changes this year.
it was only year 1, year 2 Sengun didn’t broke 20 ppg in their matchup
True, I meant defensively but that’s right. I’m not sure about the specific numbers when guarded by Sengun, but last year Wemby got them for 29 in October, then 2 days later only had 14 on 6⁄14 shooting, and then a week later had 15 on 6⁄14 shooting. It feels like they’re a tough matchup for him (but it felt like Dallas would be too).
Hear me out - if we had had this Wemby in 2024, I’m not sure Team USA gets back from Paris with the gold.
That chemistry gon’ help you when you gotta guard Steph? 😄
That’s why I said “I’m not sure”, not “I’m sure they don’t”.
But given we missed so many threes that could have gone in the paint, and we were still in the fight until the last few minutes, I’m saying 2025 Wemby gives that 2024 team a fair shot at actually clinching it. Not a sure shot - because Steph - but a fair one.
Dude I’m only speaking in fear. Wemby will be so fucking good next time. Everything is possible then.
Yup.
I have to admit, after losing twice in a row to Team USA - including one at home - taking it from them on their home turf would be pretty sweet.
But I think it speaks to the continued strength of Team USA that, even with (an assumed-healthy) Wemby, all our other up and comers and our veterans, we’d still only have a fair shot.
That block on lively was just straight up disrespectful. If this is what he does to contending teams…
Obviously been one game but just want to say I did call it https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1o1g1z9/victor_wembanyama_has_a_genuinely_solid_chance_to/
Spurs would have to be at least 6th seed so idk
Very possible, even likely
Seems likely, they looked good and didn’t shoot that well from 3.
You desperate for validation, aren’t you
Sure, sometimes I like being right
Jeez
Absolutely toying with those boys
If Wemby didn’t care about winning, he could legit get a 100-point game. I used to think it was impossible, but if he decided to go for it one day and forego the right play to instead try and score every possession, he legit would get 100.
It’s fucked up sora can create videos like this.
As a post on twitter said, “The Dream created a Nightmare”
wcyd
Lisain al-Gaib!
My goodness
I have seen God and he’s French
I can only laugh
Now that’s what I call a close encounter
Wemby might be going for that MVP
The best freak.
Mfs were talkin bout some Bol Bol
Type shit
everybody that freaked out because the ringer had him 6th best in the league, lmao.
This is the best highlight package from a single game I have ever seen.
C’mon man, this some BS, I can’t even build something like this on a game, and yet this happen in RL??
VW might be the Turbo Diesel sheesh
The craziest thing is he is still really raw. Yes he’s much more fluid than last year but he still has ways to go. Handles in particularly are still pretty loose- AD actually managed to stay in front most of the time but Wemby kinda got away using his ridiculous length. But definitely a big step up from last season.
Prime Wemby might actually be unstoppable.
Nope. He is not raw at all, this is the beginning of his prime. His footwork and ball skills looked as good as it can for a 7’5 player with an 8ft wingspan. Steph’s handles look loose at times and he is 6’2. AD is one of the best defensive bigs ever and has always been mobile plus is like 6’10 compared to 7’5, so Wemby not being able to beat him off the dribble is expected, but his length and shot making makes it futile.
Dude he’s absolutely raw and height has nothing to do with it. His footwork literally still has him stumbling on spins and drives where he has to take unecessary bodytwisting fadeaways. He loses control of his dribble all the time and drives into people. He’s objectively raw in many aspects of his game. This is his THIRD year lmao we’re not anywhere close to his prime.
His footwork and ball skills looked as good as it can for a 7’5 player with an 8ft wingspan.
Did you say the same when Giannis was in his third year? lol
and yes…? Steph is literally know to have notoriously loose handles. Weird take trying to make this about height.
You can’t say anything wrong about wemby on this sub. Ngl he’s looking like the GOAT if he keeps it up, but this sub rides him worse than Luka or jokic. It’s absolutely insane levels of DR
You should see the Spurs sub lol its way worse. Those nutjobs were mad we didn’t go all in and try to win last year because they thought year 2 Wemby was ready.
Yes and even saw some people saying sochan is garbage because he roundly needled thread between 3 defenders playing wembys passing lane 😭 glad he has great passers on his team now playing guard, but gahdamn. Even saw some of em ragging on vassell
My point is that Steph is still one of the best ball handlers ever lol. His loose handles make him even more unpredictable. Even KD, the best big wing with handles can still be loose at times. That’s what happens when you have ridiculously long arms. Kobe was also taking body twisting fadeaways, it’s called having the ability to make tough shots, which every great shot maker in the half court has in their arsenal. You’re exaggerating, his footwork and ball skills are the best we’ve ever seen for a 7’5 player, of course he will still polish his game, but he is already in his prime. Just like MJ was in his prime from his rookie season as he already had 3 seasons in college to polish his game.
My point is that Steph is still one of the best ball handlers ever lol
No he is not? Who has ever said that? A few cool highlights doesn’t make him one of the best ever. Kyrie is one of the best. Chris Paul and Harden are up there. Steph is notoriously turnover prone.
Kobe was also taking body twisting fadeaways, it’s called having the ability to make tough shots
You’re literally just arguing for arguing’s sake. Yes Kobe takes bad shots and no he doesn’t need to take them all the time.
The fact that you’re defending and twisting any bad aspects of Wemby’s game is psychotic. I am a Spurs fan lol I know exactly where Wemby is at and its completely fine and expected that he’s still developing in his third year.
Just like MJ was in his prime from his rookie season
lmao well that’s the stupidest take I’ve seen today. I’m done with this.
I don’t think you know the difference between prime and peak years. Wemby is already in his physical prime now, doesn’t mean he is in his technical prime yet. But his skills are good enough for his size to still make him an MVP candidate even this season. Ball skills is not strictly about efficiency it’s the ability to breakdown your defender consistently or maneuver through tight spots/phonebooths and still find a solution. And yes, Steph has some of the best ball skills in NBA history. And all great scorers take what most would consider bad shots and make them to demoralize the defense.
Shit ain’t fair
This guy is a monster!!!
Mostly effortless, what a player.
Insane game from Wemby
He honestly might break Wilt’s record at some point. Like if this is what he does to AD then how’s a crummy team with no rim protection gonna handle him?
Like an unrealistic player you made in video game as a kid. Somehow he came to life.
Monster
The league is screwed. What the heck is this???
Wemby about to change the NBA and revert us back to the Shaq era where every team has to get a giant 5 Wemby ‘stopper.’ Teams will start playing him way more physically so I hope he can stay healthy. Watching that game was unreal and AD and Lively looked helpless.
At this rate, he’ll reach (or even pass) shaq’s level of dominance.
That alley oop was fucked up, man
An incredible talent! Though I prefer seeing big men play inside, I appreciate his versatility, because he is so much taller than most!
Fuck
50 years from now nephews will be saying Wemby played against non-aliens
I’ll not laugh at the fact that we have our 9 foot tall center dribble the ball up court like a point guard and drilling a step back 3. Fucking hilarious.
Never seen anything like it before.
Where is Zaza Pachulia when he is needed ?
