All it took was a few words from Dirk, who r/nba loves for obvious reasons.

I mean probably still was a bit cocky but I love that confidence.

Lmao he always does that, it’s not just cause it’s Chet. It’s funny regardless though 😅

Wemby deadass hates his ass and I love it

Goliath vs Goliath XL

He’s averaging ²⁶⁄₁₃ with 3.6 bpg on 61% TS, so no, it’s not one game.

Flair up, bruh

Versus a 24-1 team that they then beat. And he’s been amazing this year already.

agreed that’s probably the last missing piece, and I think even Wemby knows it too. When he comments on KD he’s always mentioning how good KD is getting to his spots.

Wemby is also just 21 so if he’s already identified the areas of improvement I hope he makes the ascension and adds that to his arsenal

Next hurdle is limiting turnovers.

wemby iso three will always be cash

Goddamn travesty they can’t play for the title because either of these teams is gonna fuckin annihilate any East team.

Why is the rule stupid? Do we not want the players to actually play?

jordan and lebron don’t do what wemby does on defense, not even close lmao

The fact that 21 year old Wemby is at least similarly, if not more, impactful on defense than prime LeBron or prime Jordan is insane

Jordan never carried a defense to anything. Pippen was better than him basically their entire careers and Horace Grant’s rim protection had a bigger impact on the game.

Wembanyama effectively is the defense. The entire paint becomes a no fly zone with him in

Prime > longevity

If Wemby reaches a higher peak than MJ & LeBron and sustains it for long enough, he’s the GOAT

Stopped a 16 game win streak by a 24-1 team by scoring 15 in the 4th on a minutes restriction. Be fr.

he’s the best defender in the league and like top 15 offensive players. He’s not there yet imo but it’s not a crazy thing to say

Acting like this is a crazy take

You don’t know what you’re watching

I agree. I think it also has a lot to do with how San Antonio positions him on offense. The dude is enormous and they insist on placing him high like Joker. They need to have him deep post more and have him develop a hook shoot. No one would be able to block it. I understand he can hit threes, but they play him more like a SF than a true C. 

I hope he has a long career, but for players of his height, 3rd year isnt too far from prime

Not saying you’re wrong, and obviously shaes offense is a level beyond wembys, but do you think wembys historic defensive impact makes up for the offensive gap? For me him being a b+ on offense and an a++++ on defense could still be argued as the best in the game.

minutes restriction and back from injury. just wait for that ancient chinese monk medicine to kick in. he’ll be doing 360 east bays form the 3 point line and then blocking shots on the other end while not even looking in the direction of the ball or player
