“Middle path” was actually inspired by “middle way” which is a concept in Mahayana Buddhism (which was derived from the Theravada concept of the noble 8 fold path).

pufffsullivan | Thunder

791 | 18 hours ago

I was just going to say, what about the way the spurs play makes the particularly unique beyond having Wemby?

Big talented guards who can drive the basket and get buckets or make good decisions. Peripheral players who fill roles and knock down open shots. Play physical defense. It’s how you win in the modern NBA.

NewChemistry5210 | Lakers

293 | 18 hours ago

The irony is also that the Spurs offense looks less fluid with Wemby than without him. And I’d argue that one of the reason Wemby doesn’t get a lot of iso’s is….because he isn’t THAT great at them if they aren’t around the rim, where he can really use his physical advantages to make everyone look silly.

pufffsullivan | Thunder

150 | 18 hours ago

You could see as the game kind of went on how the Thunder will defend him by attacking the ball on the dribble. It’s just a massive disadvantage to be so tall when dribbling around guys like Wallace, Caruso, or Dub. Only problem is if he gets within 10 feet of the basket they are cooked.

Simple_Purple_4600

69 | 17 hours ago

but also he is drawing three defenders so if he doesn’t get mugged he might find an open teammate/ I think that part of his game is waiting to be unlocked– catching more guys cutting to the rim instead of just standing around the three line. I can see Castle being a constant menace there.

pufffsullivan | Thunder

16 | 17 hours ago

He’ll have to become a much better passer. He has a tendency to panic a bit in those situations.

ec2xs | Yacht Club

39 | 16 hours ago

He’s a very good passer. He just needs to get accustomed to double-teams.

within 10 feet of the basket

Hapycapybara2112

8 | 17 hours ago

He’s also not a great passer and is a little slow on his decision when he’s double or triple teamed.

But as soon as he gets even decent at passing (doesn’t even have to be Jokic good) and other guys learn to cut quicker, then it’s just gonna unlock even more offense

Coenagrion_armatum | Spurs

20 | 17 hours ago

Dude, that’s unfair comment. He’s been hovering around 4 A/pg his entire career! That is an elite level of contribution for the position. He is ALREADY waaay above decent.

NewChemistry5210 | Lakers

22 | 17 hours ago

What is his position, though? He plays like a forward offensively, and is the center defensively.

4 assists per game is fine, but nothing special. And to be honest, I’ve not seen him make a pass yet, that hints at him seeing the game really well or being more than an average playmaker.

But Wemby is 21, so there is plenty of time for him to improve in that area.

nolanon504

You are correct. Just like everything with Wemby, people are projecting his potential. Not where he is right now.

Clemsontigger16

53 | 18 hours ago

I mean they do care in the context of whether they are getting enough and if others guys are getting more than they feel they deserve etc. And players do occasionally say the quiet part out loud when it comes to players who flop a lot…although it’s rare, even if plenty of them probably think it.

Flava_Flavian | Spurs

53 | 16 hours ago

I listened to his whole interview and people cut off the first part where he’s very emotional to be involved with such talented players. Wemby talks shit sometimes, but I think this moment really was just his English Second Language way of saying Spurs try to play basketball “the right way” like the 2014 Beautiful Game Spurs where you share the ball and work as a team.

GGTae | Spurs

yeah I know, as a Frenchman myself I understand what he meant don’t worry, but for the unaware American it won’t sound like that and it’s hard to explain that everything he says doesn’t mean what he said every time, especially when it had a bad public reception

Zeeron1 | Thunder

36 | 18 hours ago

That’s what’s made me laugh lol everyone initially thought it was some kind of shot at OKC for free throws, which didn’t make sense cause the Spurs shoot a lot more than us.

I think he was just hyped after the win and was trolling to rub it in while running on adrenaline. He was clearly fanning the ‘free throw merchants’ flames, but it was all in fun competitive spirit. The media is just analyzing it as if Jerome Powell announced an unexpected interest rate hike. Its not that deep. They have a rivalry, he was just getting under their skin after the Spurs broke their winning streak. Its basketball. Good fucking basketball.

“Ethical” basketball is the lamest discussion for a player imo.

I think it’s fine to complain about refs and inconsistencies, or even about the ruleset. But saying your brand of basketball is morally superior is just corny imo. You’re all playing for money if it’s that good YOU do it.

I really doubt wemby even means it that way but it kinda drives me nuts lolol

Valuable-Reading-154

11 | 18 hours ago

Its just people that don’t understand competition. People that complain about cheap moves or broken abilities in sports or video games or whatever. I can watch the foul shit all day and tell you its fucking trash while also telling you that if I were an NBA player playing to win I’d come out there and flop, foul constantly if they won’t call it and make the easiest high percentage play I can manage even if its a low skill or “cheap” play because that’s how you win. People should be mad at the NBA not OKC because the NBA is the entity creating the situation and OKC is just responding effectively

Job-24 | Lakers

WhatMeatCatSpokeOf | Spurs

When people inevitably turn on him, it’s gonna hit HARD. Check out Thunder fans for the last few days as an example.

He says some wild ass shit, and while I get to enjoy it as a Spurs fan, and most fan bases get to laugh about/appreciate it as a harmless sideshow for now, when the Spurs’ games start to matter it’s going to piss people off. And rightfully so tbh. Dude’s out here saying he’s the greatest, saying people should be scared of what he’s becoming, etc. Hell he even seems to troll people sometimes.

The way I look at it though, he’s been told, and not by sycophants but by experts and by the world, that he has the potential to be the greatest of all time. And he—just like LeBron did when he was dubbed The Chosen One as a high schooler—has decided to embrace that as a challenge. It’s admirable in a way, arrogant in another, but entertaining to be sure.

-We shouldn’t have Fox without giving up Castle but Kings are stupid.

-Vassell is finally living up to his potential + got his fat contract already so many expect he’ll be affordable as we pay other guys (we’ll see).

-Spurs getting #2 pick last year was stupid, but I love it. Harper is developing but all signs point to an amazing prospect.

-No one cares about our #14 pick via Atlanta, Carter Bryant, but he’s developing into a Bruce Bowen. (For new fans, he’s a very young version of Draymond.)

-Spurs also have plenty more draft picks and are now more of a free agent destination than they ever have been.

The tactically correct way to play ball is the one that gets you a championship.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Spurs basketball.

We all know that being tactically correct is the best kind of correct.

If he continues talking like this about his peers, especially without naming them, fans will eventually turn on him. Nobody likes someone this pretentious, especially those who haven’t accomplished anything in the sport yet.

You play in a stacked team, in a perfect situation. Enjoy the ride and respect those who came before you and have accolades to their names.

Nothing more ethical than giving the ball to the tallest and longest guy in the league and letting him do tallest and longest guy in the league things.

Right or wrong, I just like this arc that wemby is on right now.. way better than the quiet political shit that most athletes talk. Gives me another reason to root for/ watch him

Using the words “ethical” or “pure” in the same sentence as the NBA is comical.

What happens when dudes like Pop, Tim, Manu, Tony, hanging around the practice facility on the regular. Trying to get back to the “Beautiful Game” brand of ball from around the 2014 title.

This dude is already 5 more games away from being ineligible from any awards other than all star, needs to just stay healthy and play, not talk like he has Tim Duncan’s resume

Lmaooo he’s bringing a specific substrate of soccer discourse here to America and I’m here for it. “Playing the right way” is a huge talking point in European soccer

I don’t think it’s useful to criticize these comments. He’s just making up some shit on the spot here. We all know what he meant when he said it.

I get what hes trying to say but it doesn’t seem like he’s just communicating it super well. I read this is as a roundabout way of saying “we play by feeding multiple guys strategically as opposed to relying on one guy to carry and hero ball all game”.

The way he expressed himself though def comes across as a dig and I can see why, but I don’t know if it’s the intention here.

Is there a single team that does this in the league right now? Literally every team has an offensive engine. No team rests solely on said engine.

Edit: Harden clippers notwithstanding.

This is a bold statement for the amount of times he recklessly charges into the paint and loses the ball. That doesnt mean he’s not a phenomenal talent, but his basketball IQ isn’t elite.

Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to communal spirit?

Victor Wembanyama on his “pure, ethical basketball” comment: “In modern basketball, we see a lot of brands of basketball that don’t offer much variety… Lots of isolation ball, sometimes kind of forced basketball. We try to propose a brand of basketball that is tactically more correct.”
