Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama after upsetting the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals: “I’m just glad to be part of something that’s growing to be so beautiful — pure and ethical basketball.”
and mfs though wemby wasn’t taking shots at okc earlier lmaooo
If there are two things the Fr*nch are great at it is insulting you without you realizing it, and sleeping with your girl without you realizing it.
Cue Tony Parker

Idk what any of this means but it sounds elegant as hell. Like the plot of a White Lotus season.
Is this precursor to wemby sleeping with someone else’s wife too?
Man that’d be something.
hey babe how come our 5 year old is 6 ft tall
One word, it was Victor.
That’s three words.
OK, fine. Victor Wembenyama
That’s two.
Shannon Presti about to get dat eclair
Éclair? It’s gotta be at least a baguette.
Wemby probably the type to denounce lust and shi so i doubt it
He did train with the monks during summer, so that makes sense
Also not speaking english when you address them in english then switching to it when your french accent is deemed not good enough
That’s why everyone hates the French
Not at the Game Awards tho
Not the Founding Fathers
I don’t get the antifrance sentiment in the US. I have no allegiance to either nation, but they gifted y’all the Statue of Liberty, built Mt. Rushmore, were instrumental in the American revolution (USA wouldn’t be an independent nation without France)
The French invented democracy, existentialism, and the blowjob
I think it more so comes from the US’s cultural connection to the UK and their dislike of the French. Usually with Americans we’re actually just joking.
i like this french
Very specific. It’s either you’re French or a gf / wife got the baguette without you knowing.
And making banger video games
This comment from Wemby def made me feel Weeeeee
I love his French arrogance
Wolves fans know a bit about this. 🤝🏼
If there is one thing the Mavs, Spurs, and Rockets can agree on is fuck Oklahoma.
That plus if I have to choose between watching Wemby and SGA dominating for years I’m going with the guy who is actually fun to watch on and off the court
People love Wemby now, but everyone will turn on him for some dumb reason soon enough.
They can never make me hate Wemby and I’m a certified Spurs hater.
People still love jokic
Speak for yourself. Stupid fatass toying with our defense with that fadeaaway jump shot off the wrong foot who does he think he is obese horse loving mfer
If Spurs become a dynasty maybe but otherwise I’m not really sure if that’ll happen, meanwhile everyone already dislikes SGA and the Thunder
They’re just so boring and play to bend the rules.
exactly. getting favorable calls and soft ass superstar made me dislike OKC. Meanwhile my boy Ant getting clobbered at the paint, no fucking calls.
OKC keeps getting compared to the Warriors and it’s so disrespectful. Love ‘em or hate ‘em the Warriors were wildly entertaining. Steph and Klay shot to make the shot fouls be damned.
Warriors got the hate for Dray’s antics and his moving screens. And fuck Zaza.
Nah warriors got the hate after few championships, but the first 2 it was amazing. It’s like the spurs on steroid. Meanwhile OKC bunch of annoying cunts on defense, and soft ass foul baiting bunch.
Nah SGA plays like a bitch, its not a dumb reason.
Well damn, in his last quote he wasn’t talking shit and actually gave props to the Thunder (“Some people are built for this moment and some aren’t. We definitely are, and it shows, because it’s not against just anybody that we won that game.”).
But yeah, this is just straight up shit talking lol. These last two days have been the spiciest I’ve seen Wemby in a good minute, hopefully he can keep backing it up like he did tonight!
Bro this man fucking hates Chet, OKC, and Shai lmao
Wemby confirmed redditor
“Ethical basketball” is certainly a NBA Reddit lexicon
He’s gonna call Shai a freethrow merchant in his next interview
He’s gonna say FTA instead of SGA
It came from Jarrett Allen then Reddit ran with it
Is Jarret Allen not a redditor?
he certainly made it more popular, “ethical hooper” was around on socials long before that.
It’s almost like this secret “AA” like jargon.. when you know you know
on that tangent, every so often I doomscroll on Instagram and find Wemby liking random posts
Best one is wemby following a mamukelashvili fan page
I too am a Sandro Mamukelashvili (54) superfan
Honestly not surprised they had great chemistry when Sandro got minutes
Occasionally likes communism edits
Comrade Viktor is the people’s champ.
Retweeting that post about how Karl Malone need to be under the jail was so gangsta
If you exclude that wemby is a 7’5 NBA player, “ 20 year old French Brandon Sanderson fan fluent in English” seems like a possible redditor
y’all think he posts in r/NBATalk
Im wemby
change your flair wemby
No. It keeps my identity hidden.

I think the only people who like FTA are OKC fans and Canadian fans. His style of play, as well as the goofy faces he makes to draw fouls, makes him very easy to hate.
Guys with his play style have always existed, like prime harden was easily as egregious with the foul baiting, but what makes OKC special is that they’ve built an entire team philosophy around playing the refs every single possession. On offence the goal of every possession is to get to the free throw line, on defence it’s hack like crazy knowing the refs can’t call everything.
When this becomes the new meta, and it will because it works so well, shit will be entirely unwatchable.
People also hated harden? They called him hitler
I hate that shit so so much. Play like absolute crooks on defense and completely flip your act when it’s you being defended
I dunno, his unique type of handle, the way he creates space for his midrange, his herky jerky yet smooth movement style - all these make his game pretty attractive imo. The foul baiting certainly is a downside, but I don’t think his entire game is not fun to watch
The way he creates space is called a push off and it’s an offensive foul btw
I suddenly find myself rooting for Wemby lol
All my homies hate OKC.
Who wouldnt lmao. Only okc fans love em
I might still love him a little when SGA and Dort are playing for the national team. But it’s getting a little harder to do so ngl
Spurs vs OKC playoffs would feed families
A final Four of Okc, Spurs, Denver and Rockets would be great
A lot of basketball fans around the world do… I know i am one… I am just tired of flops basketball okc playing.
Flops should be a recorded stat that is determined post game. There should also be a flopper award each season. Maybe then it wouldn’t happen as often.
Maybe the fans should start one… I am very confident i know who the first team and player winner for the flop awards goes to….
Makes me like him even more
He said shai or giannis was best player in the league dude
Wemby: He’s just like us.

My man JA needs some credit on creating the perfect phrase for great basketball. He might be the first person I’ve heard say “ethical basketball”
Ethical hooper/basketball was definitely around as a saying before he said that
Holy sh*t, man.
This guys been back for 20 minutes and is taking shots at half the league. Pace yourself, Vic!
This is KG’s influence. Talking smack is all they did all summer. Didn’t even play basketball
We thought he learned mental lessons from the monks and basketball lessons from KG but he actually learned mental lessons from KG and basketball lessons from the monks.
I hope he brings out a bowstaff at all star weekend and does a lil dance with the Jabawockeez
He gonna start airbending?
Some of them dudes be hooping good as hell(naraka?) in sandals
And then after practice KG and Wemby did a mandatory 3 hours of voice chat trash talking on ps5
Wemby’s training with KG was nonstop queueing into XBox lobbies with voice chat on and an anime catgirl profile pic.
trained with monks for a summer and became the leagues top shit talker
Apparently trained at wu-tangs shaolin temple
Buddha is depicted as laughing bc monks have sick burns
You can say shit on Reddit..
Tuesday gonna be infinity war
no u mean sopranos season 7 finale war… no superheroes in this world Chrissy
Whatever happened to Tim Duncan? The strong, silent type.
I’ll tell you what happened: this piece of shxt Bruce Bowen put six rolled ankles injuries in without any provocation, what so ever.
that animal Bowen; I cant eva say his name
You mean Dec 23 and Christmas? Spurs and OKC are playing two nights in a row
I’m suddenly more thankful that in our culture, we celebrate on Christmas Eve
You should introduce your culture to sports as part of the celebration. I feel bad for the players but holiday sporting events are always fantastic. I feel like we established that 111 years ago lol
I cannot wait to derail “taking back this country” talk at my table by yelling “THAT’S A FOUL” as I am glued to the tv by a Canadian and a Frenchman.
Wemby loves the Stormlight Archive, so Tuesdays gonna be more like AHARIETIAM, THE TRUE DESOLATION APPROACHES
He is, fortunately, the Hero of Ages
Literally showed up at the game with HoA in hand
What is the most important step a man can take?
The one that beats the thunder lmao
The euro step
Holy shit, I’m buying my jersey tomorrow.
We have to support this
It will be the Fiesta variant
yeah im buying one of those too
one of us!
The confidence is chef’s kiss.
He might become my favorite non-wolves player now (sorry KAT, sorry NAW)
LOL legacy points added
The league desperately needs other players calling out the OKC bullshit.
need to know why he hates okc so much lmao
He hates Chet going back to pre-NBA days
Why didn’t Wemby, the largest Slenderman, not simply eat the smaller Chet?
He didn’t???
I need more giraffe fights in my life
top 10 meme
do they have real beef ?
Rivalry. No ill will
Nah, it’s just Wemby being hyper competitive
They have to. I gotta watch this YouTube beef episode in 15 years or so
Yes but also mostly bone
Chet won the U-19 World Cup MVP over him.
I’m not joking
And Wemby will “Take it personally” for the rest of their hopefully long healthy careers. I’m glad that the guy that riles up Wemby the most happens to be on the best team in the league.
Welp, that’s gonna be every game between them for the rest of eternity then, because I think Wemby is on the Jordan/Kobe/KG side of competitive
I think being in Vegas makes him extra grouchy, he called it a dystopia a while back.
KEKW
OKC, Shai and Chet will have to live with this monster who is getting better every year 😂
Man I love basketball
Ain’t no way we just typed kekw in a reddit comment. Jesus christ
Nah this is for sure dating back to the FIBA tournament where Kenneth Lofton Jr. carved up France.
He’s a basketball fan and has eyes
Because he cares for the NBA?
He’s the chosen one that’s why
Tbf they are very easy to hate.
Floppers who play the refs, not the game
I need a 7 game series between them
4 game sweep is better thank you.
Every year
I love wemby
The people’s king
John Cena may have retired, but another people’s champ was born this night!
bro you growing to be so beautiful
( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
OKC hasn’t known ethics since the trail of tears.
brother
That’s foul
And refs will ignore that along with the many others they let slide
lol
lol ethical ball is such a dig at OKC
Who doesn’t love their new defensive strategy of “the refs can’t call EVERY foul”?
Especially the super innovative “having a guard defend a center gives them extra free fouls” version.
I mean, when many oldies such as Steve Nash implied they’re abusing the reffing, it’s clear that many players hate OKC. Wemby just decided to be blatant about it.
You can’t get Steve Nash to say overly negative things about anything in the NBA but his hatred boner for the thunder is massive Steve knows if he had that whistle he would also have at least 1 ring on his hand
Please keep this man healthy
He’s one of us
Bro don’t make me like the fucking spurs
I love this guy
Bruh … I would suggest making the comments a bit milder but he also does some wild shit on the floor for my team. So I am gonna shut up.
Let him cook
Nah genie is out of the bottle now, Wemby gonna roast absolutely everyone it seems.
I think Wemby has been on Reddit too much while injured.
Why are thunder fans taking such offense to this comment lmao
Because they know it’s true lmao
Yep.
They also know that other players calling this out publicly is going to change how the league officiates them.
It’s so hard to not like this dude. Even if he’s a rival in the same conference
Ethical, non-GMO, free range, “we recite lullabies to the chickens every night” basketball must prevail.
This dude Reddits
Where are all the OKC nerds to try to tell him that “actually shai only shoots x number of fts per game which is completely in the norm” and “Dort’s defence is completely legal all the time”
Ngl I like this growing spurs - thunder rivalry. Spurs are playing like a top 3 team now, they’re looking legit
Wemby just jelly he can’t flying double kick three feet forward on a jumper.
AYO Wemby already the goat
Lmao. This is why history is not going to look back kindly on SGA and the Thunder. The overwhelming majority of fans and their own peers dont respect that shit
oh no, this nerd is a redditor
Somewhere SGA is shooting free throws
This whole game and interviews before and after make me really like wemby
OK. I was on the fence, but I officially love this dude
I love this man! Wemby, I forgive you for not completely glazing Jokic earlier. Now please wait a bit longer to win a chip.
LOL ethical basketball. Keep talking Wemby!!!
Wemby might be my new favourite player
I can’t hate this man.
Lmaoooo let’s go
he is Anakin in the NBA
tears no way he called them a bunch of shameless floppers 😭😭😭
Can I add Wemby to my flair?
LOL fucking love Wemby. Not the boring ass OKC whiners. SGA such a fraud
Lose or win the Christmas b2b is gonna be so lit GGs today tho
