[Highlight] Slenderman matchup ends with a Wemby stuff on Chet
he gets to jump SO MUCH later than the offensive player it’s just not fair
He jumped like 5 inches too got the block easily and made a 7’1’ guy look like a 6’3 guard
This must be so strange for players who haven’t had a ball stuffed back in their face since they were like 15.
Chet basically needs to learn a skill to combat one guy. He probably never thought he’d need it growing up.
Idk who it was but a player talked about this they have never dealt with length like this and think they can shoot over him to just get stuffed
maxey
I think what fucks them up the most is that Wemby can bite on a fake, and still recover in time to block when the offensive player thinks he is in the clear, because 99% of the times they are. I’ve seen it happen so many times and players always look so confused.
Wemby is the hero of every 5’9 highschool player who got out sized. There’s always a bigger fish
Draymond Green had my favorite wtf wemby reaction yet. Can’t bully a giant that trained with monks.
The grass is always greener elsewhere but nor for Wemby.
I had to make sure he jumped - I thought maybe he just reached higher.
Chet has like no vert either lmao. There’s been a few games this year where we’re like “just dunk the ball” when he gets stuffed by the rim on a layup attempt.
there’s a joke about Peter Jackson shooting LoTR in there
The be fair Chet also isnt that dude either so far and is showing no signs mentally of ever becoming that dude.
I don’t think it’s about being that dude. Wemby’s physical attributes just hard counter Chet’s. There’s literally nothing Chet can do because his game is predicated on him having extra length which he doesn’t against Wemby.
Theres always a bigger fish
Not if you’re Wemby
There’s always a bigger alien
Florida’s got some 7’9” kid right now. So even Wemby might find a larger fish.
That dude ain’t making it to the NBA
That dude is about to be the world’s tallest plumber
“Yeah toilet is good to go, y’all had a gator in the pipes but I carried it back to the swamp”
Turned him from French Canadian to Cajun French.
He’d make an amazing office coworker when the chips get stuck at the top of the vending machine
I haven’t actually watched him play, but getting a scholarship at Florida would make me assume he’s at least serviceable. Might get picked up by someone just for the measurable, unless he’s shit.
He cannot move at all
Yeah Tacko Fall was at UCF with people similarly not high on him in the NBA and he got a flyer in the NBA out of the G league.
He’s Wembanyana’s height or like an inch shorter I think. Unless the Florida guy can’t run I think he’ll get a similar flier at least.
He’s averaging 0.5 points & 0.5 rebounds this season as a redshirt freshman.
He didnt get a scholarship, he is a walk-on. He does not have the level to be a professional basketball player.
Wemby’s lowkey 7’14”
He’s 7’9 with an 11-inch vert. He’s not making to the NBA. For comparison, Wemby is 7’5 with a 40-inch vert.
I’m sorry but there’s zero way wemby has a 40 inch vert. Mf would be casually able to touch the top of the backboard
Yeah i’m not so sure about that either. There isn’t a concrete source. Pre-draft measurements say that it was about 32 inches at the time.
Dude never needs to jump over like 20 inches ever and 40 inch is like almost 1 standard deviation better than all trained basketball athletes in the world. There’s simply no way for someone who doesnt need a high jump to jump higher than his peers who all need a high jump and train that shit
Which is still insane for a guy that tall. I used to have that vert at 5’10 and thought it was decent before I stopped jumping and lost it lmfao.
Okay that’s rough, domt watch a ton of college ball so haven’t seen him play, just hear about him semi regularly.
Has he blocked Steph yet cause if not thats his bigger fish.
Steph’s been shooting it at an 89 degree angle to get it over him, he’s pulled off some unbelievable shots
I would guess that genuinely, in his ENTIRE LIFE, Chet, at that size, has probably only reasonably been blocked on a jumper a handful of times
And they’re probably almost all Wemby. What do you do?
He also got blocked on a jumper by De’Aaron Fox in the same game. In the 4th quarter last night. About a minute before this block happened.
You put it right. Chet’s main advantage (length) over anybody else is taken away when facing Wemby.
Chet isn’t that dude against anyone though. Nothing to do with wemby. So far chets just another player in the league. Nothing special on offense.
Give it 2 years of bulking and he’ll be goodlol
It’s fair. He has to carry that height equipment up and down the court.
This thunder team is pretty pathetic. No one in the Vegas crowd is cheering for them even though they are the champion last year. At the end of the day, nba is still an entertainment business and if you play a flopping brand of basketball that the consumers don’t appreciate, no one will give you any love. Any kid on the street court wearing shai jersey will just be ridiculed for being a flopper and rightfully so
Ok
Meh, it is what it is. No one likes it, but I don’t think they care, they play to win in a style that’s most efficient for them. It’s working and they’re brewing up a dynasty. Very rarely a dominant team is cheered by other fans. 2016 Dubs is the only one that comes to mind of a defending champ being almost universally adored.
Spurs got hated and disrespected for pretty much the first decade of their run. Then they switched up and played the most beautiful basketball in history. Won with that and it painted the whole journey in a different light.
No one cares if the thunder cares. I am talking about the fans reactions. The best teams were loved and cherished during the moments when they were great. The 90s bulls and the 00s lakers were loved by the general public. This thunder team can go 82-0 by all means and the okc city can flop and cheer together in their own little bubble together with some Canadians raptors fans who also cosplay as okc fans, but outside of that the 99% of the fans just won’t give them the respect and tonight’s crowd was a great example.
Are you a bot, or just lost?
Your fellow flopping Canadians just lost 😞
Their comments are bad enough that I recognize the name.
Wemby backing up the talk damn
Wemby is the best player on the court rn, but Chet is having a great game tbh
*Caruso
Caruso too, but this isn’t about him
Idk I just watched that bald fuck dunk and it made me forget who I was rooting for for a sec
Same. Can’t help but like Caruso but I love Wemby.
Can’t believe you guys let him go for THT
I’d like to distract you by reminding you about the Maverick’s Doncic trade. Let’s laugh about that together.
No no let’s keep talking about letting Caruso go for nothing.
Why did you guys trade him?
They didn’t trade him but they lowballed him and he went to Chicago on a 4 year deal
Pretty sure Caruso said he’d stay for less but they valued youth in THT instead of
Chet didn’t stand a chance that possession, wow.
Oui oui
Oh you saw the interview too, I’m soo ready 💪🏾💪🏾
Giannis and SGA are best current player in the league, except for when wemby is on the floor. -wemby
You can’t try that Chet cmon
Wemby might be the only person in the world he can’t shoot that shot over lol
Wemby is literally everything Chet is but better
Wemby is worse at liking Incubus
Seriously lol. Outside of Wemby, Chet probably hasn’t been blocked on a jumper since he was 14 lol
Chet gets his 3s blocked at a crazy high rate. But on post fade probably yeah
Nah he gets blocked a decent amount for someone who’s 7’1” unfortunately.
But with Wemby it’s like 100% of the time and it always happens to be on a post fade.
I think he’s just too slow and predictable sometimes. He gets blocked like this from Wemby every game they play each other. If I’m Chet I would (try to) bully Wemby to the rim rather than finesse him. Hell still probably get blocked though, but it’d be better than trying that slow fader that always gets destroyed.
Chet came in to the league barely above 200. He’s not bullying anyone. Victor weighs significantly more and is stronger
He should know too. It’s the exact same shot that Wemby sealed the ROTY on.
That’s what I came to say. I think it was deeper two years ago but it was very similar.
Yeah it was like right behind the line
Chet’s already only a good creator against mismatches. Why would you try to iso against arguably the best defensive player on the planet?
I looked like that meme because I knew he was gonna fucking shoot that the whole time to try to get one over on Wemby.
Me - NO NO NO NO WAIT WAIT WAIT
Forced the fuck out of that. He doesn’t even play like that lol. The matchup had him acting unusual
He had something to prove. Unfortunately, something else got proven.
Every game Chet wants his moment on Wemby and every time he gets stuffed.
Wemby is Chet’s daddy
This is not a rivalry… [he] always kicks [my] ass
— Chet during Wemby’s Last Dance doc
Or headbutted
How many times in Chet’s life has he looked up and seen someone’s face?
Wemby is making the entire league learn new moves. There’s regular basketball and then basketball against one particular guy.
training is just 10,000 floaters a day
Floaters are such a tricky thing too. Wasn’t even really part of the game when I learned but going full speed at the basket and essentially doing a reverse finger roll at 8 feet out is crazy work. Harden and Steph make it look routine
Crazy I learned floaters from a very young age because of my dad being a small point guard he showed me all the little tricks to getting the shot off above people way bigger and more athletic than I am
Even in my men’s league It still shocks people being able to hit a floater from the free throw line. Second nature and it really helped my touch on freee throws too
Its not just offensive technique. Think about the athleticism and timing dort and caruso had to have in order to knock the ball out of his hands or block him. You need a special kind of defensive strategy just for him
this is probably why the spurs players are becoming such great finishers lmao practice must be insane
The move is to pass it around Wemby
Sounds like prime shaq
I mean he was no more than 3 feet tall coming out of the womb so probably many, many times
If I read it right, there are about 85-150 people above 7 foot in the USA, Chet’s taller than that so the number is smaller probably for people taller than him. So yeah, probably a rare occasion for him
This French dude is all that stands in the way of the OKC dynasty I don’t want to see
Hopefully he manages to pull off a 1-3 comeback against OKC in the conference finals
Can’t wait for chet to join the spurs (wait, KD’s the only bitch that would do that lol)
lmao its funny because even this hypothetical isnt as bad as the reality. SGA going there would be the equivalent.
well, firstly you need the best player in the league to go from team to team creating stupidly unfair superteams that force other players to follow suit if they want to find their own success, like KD did…“ya’ll wanna create superteams? How’s this for a superteam?” In a way it was just the basketball gods serving justice to someone who didn’t want to work hard for his success…and still doesn’t wanna work hard.
such unfair teams that the only championship he won in the 3 years before KD made his move was a lucky 3-1 comeback because Bogut got injured. You got it bro solid fan fiction.
Hey man the nuggets took em to 7 with a broken AG and MPJ
Spurs have Fox and Castle and a strong cast of vets (Vassell, Barnes, Keldon Johnson, Sochan, Kornet) and a very promising young Dylan Harper. Wemby can actually do some damage with this team if everyone stays healthy.
That ‘if’ is my only real worry about this team. We’re spicy af, especially with everyone up and running
Chet been trying to get Wemby literally since high school and it’s still not happening
Stop trying to make Chet happen. It’s not going to happen.
Oh no he’s only going to be the 2nd best >7 footer in the league what are we gonna do
Gap isn’t getting any smaller lol
Chet has a ring though and I am sure Wemby thinks about thar
he would probably care if Chet was the best player on that team
We got kaiju battling out there sheesh
Godzilla vs Kong. Guess who’s who.
I prefer to think of them as gundam
my proposed wemby nickname
the big gundamental
Wemby is like 100 times better than Chet. Hilarious years ago when people with a straight face said he was gonna be better than Wemby 😂😂
A reminder that Wemby now is the same age Chet was as a rookie.
Yes, people compared ROOKIE CHET to this man
I mean Chet missed his first year and was 21 for his rookie year for the most part. Wemby is about to be 22 in a couple weeks. They’re not as far apart as you’re trying to make it sound. Wemby is clearly better and imo always was but let’s not stretch this into something it isn’t.
They’re not as far apart as you’re trying to make it sound.
Yes, they are.
This is not debatable. You are not bring anything new or insightful to this discussion. It’s a closed case, Wemby is clearly the much better player.
Chet’s good but as someone who followed these guys as prospects, Wemby was always the generational prospect and Chet was just the good prospect
Chet is great not good. Wemby is just an all time generational talent
Perfect description
Yea ur making it sound like Chet is Andrew Wiggins wtf
? wiggins was a bigger prospect than chet. chet is obviously a way better player though
OKC fans are saying Chet is better in this very post because he has a ring
It’s more hilarious when Shaq said Bolbol
How is a laker fan saying this but thanks
100 times is a bit much. Maybe like 1.5 times or 2 times at best.
10 billion times
sonned him
The man is a blocking machine
Robert Williams blocks a ton of shots when he does play
Blocking a 7’ 1” guy like he is a midget.
I’ve seen this before. He father’d him twice in as many years
Dirk are you satisfied now?
Dirk: Don’t poke your opponent, don’t want to give them extra motivation.
Wemby: I want to milk every last drop of motivation out of my opponents before I devour their soul.
reminder that Chet is the same size as Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Then watch this clip again.
No fucking way dude
Chet looked like Kirk Hinrich on that play. He looked tiny.
This has got to be my favorite matchup that I’ll be looking for this season. All the details on the court you can see the feud developing each possession. I love it great basketball amongst both teams.
Thunder are shook
Meanwhile they talking about LeBron on the broadcast somehow
VWICHF
God bless this matchup for years to come.
Wemby sonned 10th grade Wemby.
it’s not real, right?
Love how personal Wemby takes his matchups v Chet.
Also a +20 plus minus in his first 5 minutes played: The Wemby Effect…
Wemby best bench player in the league
This is my favorite NBA rivalry. Just ridiculous visuals.
This isn’t even the first time wemby’s done that to him either.
I love how no one else joined in they knew it was a fated 1v1 battle like in an anime
Bruh what’s wrong with my app, I’m seeing warriors vs timber wolves in the video
two lankiest mfers in the league going at it
This was an absolute beast of a game! Great basketball
Chet’s like, “damn, I’ve never felt short in my life.”
Wemby makes Chet look small.
Spurs are gonna get in the way of this okc team ever hoping of becoming a dynasty lol
Chet should know better than that lmao no shot
Blocking a 7’1 man like he’s a little brother
Chet did the bump and Wemby didn’t even budge.
Man theyre playing a different game than everyone else
Calling it right now, at some point in his career he will block a shot for points
Chet is having flashbacks, this has happened before and it will be interesting to see if he tries to 1v1 Wemby again without a head of steam.
We need to start counting Dad blocks…
Seeing these being so quick and agile for their height .. just look so injury prone too
GTSOOH
I love this, and not because it is my Spurs player. I love that Chet was making a move and Wemby snuffed it. Now I want Chet to go into the lab and develop the counter because I want to watch Kaiju fight.
make chet his bitch
That was a lazy shot, but he felt determined to take it. Dude needs to get those Hakeem lessons.
Chet’s audacity to try that shot over wemby lmao. Idc if ur 25-1, you dont try that shot with fcking wemby in your face
So sick of people praising Chet for being good, he got carried by horrible officiating and SGA’s god tier mid range. He finally plays a fair game and gets absolutely stuffed.
Can someone tell me what the beef is between them?
They are both tall, thin and well rounded players. It’s like a hot girl at a party seeing another hot girl at the party wearing the same dress. They don’t know why but they hate each other.
Wemby just probably lowkey hating and jealous, but he’s harnessing it the right way.
A+ defense
That shot work 75percent the time he is 7 foot humbled by an 7”8, sorry 7”4, it was crazy that clip Kevin Durant bumped his head in Victor cheats randomly walking with his head down like kd 7” vw 8 in two years
Wemby hates Chet and as a Spurs fan I love it
7ft centers playing iso like small guards, crazy era we’re in
is it me or has Wemby become a defensive powerhouse .. but offensively he doesn’t seem to take advantage of his size and use his defensive skills and size to play more center?
and don’t get me wrong .. he’s still a unicorn offensively, but he looks more like KD than a center with that size getting easy buckets.
didn’t watch the full game but did he get any easy layups/lobs? Castle seems to be getting those more.
His game is evolving. He used to take lot of 3pt shots last year. This year he cut down and attempting more 2pt shots. He is a willing learner. He will get better in offensively imo. I believe, injury is the only one (hope it will not) will stop his progression.
Now this is elite defense not whatever okc’s been doing!
OKC look kinda ass when up against a west contender lol
No one cares if the thunder cares. I am talking about the fans reactions. The best teams were loved and cherished during the moments when they were great. The 90s bulls and the 00s lakers were loved by the general public. This thunder team can go 82-0 by all means and the okc city can flop and cheer together in their own little bubble together with some Canadians raptors fans who also cosplay as okc fans, but outside of that the 99% of the fans just just won’t give them the respect and tonight’s crowd was a great example.
Gonna be interesting how these careers pan out. Obviously Wemby is way better than Chet and Chet has that ring, but it doesn’t even feel like it’s right to say Chet has a better career because of that ring. As great as it is, he’s not even the second best player on the team and is not the bus driver. Wemby is the bus driver and has the potential be an all time great. Wemby really just has it.
Chet overrated as hell
holmgren is wembys temu clone, and to be fair, wemby made it look like he an adult playing against children, he singlehandedly dismantled OKC’s defense
shout out to holmgren for missing every shot ever and looking like a mental patient, and props to caruso for missing the easiest 2 pointer in the world with nobody blocking him under that basket @ Q4
easiest $20k in my life, shout out to polymarket gang
No one cares about the degenerate gambling
