[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama gets his money’s worth with this foul on Chet Holmgren
proceeded to miss both free throws 😭😭😭
Ball don’t lie /s
Le ballon, mon ami, ne ment pas.
Chet est le chauve col roulé
Omelet du fromage
Baguette
I mean it was a travel so
Oh defenders aren’t entitled to a landing space??
Ball don’t like unethical basketball 😎
Such an obvious travel. Smh.
Mission accomplished He’s in his head now lol
Victor “Denzel Washington” Wembenyama
“Traumatizing, sometimes, is the goal”
Wemby has him shook
A Chrysler 300 looks like a Phantom until a Phantom pulls up
No Chrysler ever looks like a Phantom.
Damn
This is bullshit, man, I dont even want to be on this street
A Phantom with a 30-foot wingspan.
Chet is awful from the line in any big game or big moment lmao
choked that denver playoff game away
My eyes were rolling out of my head when I had to hear him say what it takes to win a championship after OKC’s title.
Wemby “HELL YEAH!”
LOL
Then wemby started talking shit after lol
I love how he just decided to be a villain. It works surprisingly.
Chet has nightmares of Wemby
Giraffe on giraffe violence
So when do they start headbutting each other
u/sim888 if you’re not too busy please let me cash in number 2⁄4 jpegs owed on this lol

Thanks lol appreciate it merry Christmas
all done haha… thanks mate, and a very merry Christmas to you too 🙌
Lmaooo it’s beautiful Thanks again 🙏
He dont miss
The greatest to ever do it
That’s why he’s the MVP! That’s why he’s the GOAT! THE GOAT!!
Fucks sake lmao
That’s a name I haven’t seen in a long time
It just occurred to me I haven’t seen u/sim888 memes in a minute
Legend come back
Excuse me but giraffes don’t headbutt, they neckbutt.
yeah it’s kind of terrifying to see honestly
When do they start cameoing in TLOU?
NGL – I almost read that as cameltoeing.
Almost.
Don’t worry. I did.
just wait for the bladder headbutting
Giraffes don’t head-butt like goats. Their fights are really interesting and ritualistic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLPL1qRhn8
I swear Chet somehow looks even spindlier than he did as a rookie. How has this mf not put on a single pound of muscle in three years when Wemby’s demonstrated that it’s clearly possible.
In the same picture with wemby it’s gonna look bad. Wemby has put on a lot of muscle.
They ran out of oxtails at the store 😢
Need more of this. Wemby is becoming my favorite player especially jawing at the crowd after Chet missed his free throw.
That was funny
Goat on baby giraffe more like it. Chet is buns compared to wemby
Safari classic
Behind the scenes video
Chet is SO scared lmao
I think Chet just isn’t used to not being the tallest person on the court. His greatest asset is his length and has built his game around utilizing it accordingly. There maybe other players similar enough in height but Wemby is the only person in the world who is meaningfully taller than Chet. I imagine thats gotta be really disorienting.
Wemby just has an advantage everywhere physically. He’s taller, longer, more agile and stronger. Just a terrible matchup for Chet
It also doesn’t help that Wemby actively wants to crush him and hates being compared to him
Wemby just seems to care a lot more than the average player. unfortunately, OKC will injure him with their “defense” (aka foul the shit out of whoever they are guarding, enough times that the refs can’t call all the fouls). Dort already tried it. i’m enjoying him own them right now, but there’s only so many knee tackles a 7’5 guy can take
He is also significantly more French, you can’t leave that out.
Ok he’s on the way to becoming my goat, but I’m not gonna say he’s stronger than everyone. Chet? Sure.
Oh boy.
Edey fouling Chet would be something.
Like when a F-150 and Miata collide.
Chet struggled a lot with Gobert for similar reasons I think. I think Gobert is slightly taller, but also, Rudy is fucking SHREDDED, and has like 30 pounds of muscle on Chet at least. Chet did not have fun against him because of it. I agree I think he relies heavily on just being bigger and he doesn’t know what to do when he doesn’t have that advantage.
Chet and Gobert are both listed as 7’1”, with Chet having a listed wingspan of 7’6” but Gobert having an insane 7’9” listed wingspan.
Chet is listed at 208, but Gobert is listed at 258. I don’t know how accurate those listed weights are though, as Gobert’s arms are as big around as Chet’s legs.
Wemby is taller for sure. He is also better at literally every single aspect of basketball and also way more of a dawg and has had Chet shook since he ended the ROTY conversation by blocking and dumping him on the ground 2 years ago
I mean maybe thats true but its all speculation and we’ll never know. Why we gotta add a narrative that feeds into the “player a is scared” or “player b wanted more” soap opera discourse when we can just look at the basketball and thats more than enough explanation of what we’re seeing.
As a 6’5” person can confirm I have no idea what to do if there is a taller person on the court - I never trained for that situation.
Chet against Wemby is like Jake Paul against AJ
This is all opinion based no fact, but wemby acts like he’s getting payback towards his child hood bully that he out grew. Wemby just hates Chet so much and I’ve never seen Chet say anything about Wemby publicly. It makes me wonder what Chet did to him.
The brontosaurus rivalry will make this next decade so fun
I mean its not even really a rivalry its mostly just Wemby picking on a dude that’s way way way less talented than he is lol. He wasn’t wrong when he said they’re not comparable. Its like how every white rapper gets compared to Eminem regardless of talent except its just really tall skinny dudes in the NBA in this case
“This is not a rivalry. They always kick our ass - Joel Embiid” - Chet Holmgren
Crazy Wemby bites on a pump fake, ever at 7’6 lol
He usually don’t, but he got to excited with the opportunity to block Chet.
Bullshit. He falls for pumps every damn game. It’s annoying as hell. He just wants every block opportunity
Yeah, he definitely goes for the fake way more than he needs to. Causes him to get into unnecessary foul trouble sometimes
Only another 7 footer can get him off the ground 😂
He can afford to. He blocked so many people after the fact.
Chet playing like 2k
And this end is called the Chet-omizer…
[removed]
drop the shoulder one time and just pick up a charge get some respect back
Two sticks rubbing against each other like that (no Giddey) would start a fire
The shade hahahahaha
Maybe it’d actually generate points for OKC in the third quarter
New kat vs cousins pic incoming lol
Might break his hip again on the collision or something.
oh god no, this sub is already insufferable when it comes to OKC discourse
You all would be crying if an OKC player did that to Wemby
Yes but at least with Chet it would be understandable
Don’t think any non-spurs or thunder fans would give a fuck. We all just want entertainment
they did worse the last three games, primarily Dort.
It feels like im watching someone get bullied constantly on live tv wtf. Swing on him chet damn
My god what did Chet do to Wemby’s sister
most of the league just dislikes players on the court but are best friends off of it; Wemby fucking despises Chet for whatever reason lmao
Seems like Wemby genuinely got offended by the comparisons lmao.
Wemby seems to somehow have a level of confidence that matches his talent. Very bad news for the league.
pretty sure he’s said he thinks he’s better than Jokic and shai too
KG and the monks made him go woke. Can’t tell if it’s a good thing or not.
Well he said it in a slightly more respectful way than that, but obviously still shit talking and extreme confidence.
He said they’re the best but once he gets back on the court he’ll be the best.
So he at least paid them kudos to being the best first haha
people were saying Vic is overrated and Chet is the clear rookie of the year during the first couple months of their rookie season. I noticed that he didnt like that and took it personal.
It started in the France - USA games when they were 16 or 17 didn’t it?
Yes, I believe it was the U17 games.
– edit: I was wrong. It was the U19 tourney in 2021
i don’t think he dislikes chet off the court but he’s blunt and is asked about chet every interview
Spurs fan here and I agree.
Wemby is competitive as fuck and makes it personal on the court with everyone and anyone, especially the good players.
Chet is definitely included for various reasons but it stays on the court.
Wemby is confident, loves the game, and will trash talk if needed. Which he can back up most of the time and that’s good for entertainment.
But that’s it. It’s entertainment.
He also gives props to other teams and players all the time (including OKC).
For instance, he said he couldn’t call the Spurs/OKC a rivalry yet because OKC was in a league of their own for now, even though they were coming.
Outside of on-court competition, I don’t think he has the mindset, energy, and time, to be petty and hate somebody personally off the court, especially someone who didn’t do anything other than play and win at a game against him.
He’s been saying there are more important things in Life than Basketball for years, and lately said that his blood clot made that realization even realer:
It made him think about his own mortality and his life without Basketball.
Didn’t he say that Chet wasn’t on his level?
And no lies were told.
Might just be the hater in me but the league needs more of this
Sports are better with genuine ugly rivalries.
I love this lol too much lovey dovey in the league since they all grew up playing aau together
Hit her with the odee treball hang pull
Chet completely unravels with him out there.
Also that’s a travel before the foul
NBA seriously needs to call this travel. It is giving the offense way too much power to make moves that are illegal according to the rule book.
How is this not the top comment? Dude hopped forward on his father and landed with both feet. Then he steps back with his right foot before the foul. What are we even doing here if this is ok?
his father
Hahaha
Good spot.
The first thing I saw, and this comment is way too far down.
Wemby was kind of unlucky. Then again NBA is where travels aren’t called.
And Chet missed both free throws with Wemby cheering him on lol.
Chet man, need to start eating a steak and lifting bruuuhh
you’d think he’d be a little heavier with all the oxtail and cornbread
Chet traveled and then bricked both free throws lmao
#BALL DON’T LIE
This dude fucking hates Chet and I fucking love it
Wemby won’t rest until Chet’s bagging groceries at the local Piggly Wiggly.
Wemby and Chet are definitely the “hello - human resources” meme on this subreddit. If it was the other way around people would be calling for Chet to get flayed publicly, but Wemby is the sexy guy in the meme, so he gets a pass.
classy european vs thuggish amish looking fucker
I mean Wemby got faked into the air and had very little control. If that was Dort, Chet would have been punched or kneed in the face.
It wasnt really a fake. It was a travel that went uncalled
just wait until the novelty wears off and the spurs start being competitive in the play-offs . I still remember OKC and SGA being the cute underdog story in the nba
He leaned into it
Wonder where he learned that
SGA the flopper.
Traveled into it
Btw, it should not have even been a foul. He travaled before contact lol.
Clean travelling violation
Longboi on longboi crime is on the rise
Chet missed both free throws here btw
I love that wemby just hates him for no reason lmao
No one likes flop queens
They’re trying to compare Chet to him but il n’y a pas de photo
All ball
Ethical
Ethical!
The leg kick and double delayed head whipping back as if he had to sell the most obvious foul lmao
Muscle memory
Wemby turning himself into a mental killer…
The mental games this dude is going to impart on the league is pretty insane, because you know if he’s near the paint you aren’t getting a clean shot up. Just makes the entire court smaller. Most bigs do that. Wemby does that to a degree I’ve never seen before and I saw prime Hakeem and prime Duncan.
I love that we’re alive to see a blood feud between two giants with single digit BMI’s. It’s crazy that two such guys exist but that they’re also amazing basketball players and despise each other is incredible.
Get’s his money’s worth is definitely a choice of words. If Draymond/Dort did this y’all would want them banned from the league.
Yelled at his missed free throw 😂😂😂
Man.. wemby hates him 😭
Travel
If I speak, I’m in big trouble
Wemby getting in Chet’s head lately
He did nothing wrong. If he didn’t travel, he would have had his ass blocked
Am I missing something? Why are people acting like this is some hard foul?
Maybe it’s because I grew up watching mid-late 90s ball but I completely agree.
If it was flipped this subreddit would be having a meltdown btw lmao
Such an ethical play
I feel like I’m watching something different than the rest. Chet travels (he picked up his back foot) and then steps in and lowers his shoulder into Wemby’s chin
Travel before the contact. No foul. Turnover.
Still feeling that crash and missed both free throws
Ball don’t lie
wow violent
Chet got his money’s worth out of that pivot foot too
I’m very disappointed in chet. I don’t expect him to be better than wemby but to let a dude talk shit like that about you and do absolutely nothing about it is crazy.
Ball don’t lie, actually fucking try to score when you get a defender off the ground
Missed travel call
Draymond smiling somewhere
I mean if you’re going to bait a foul instead of finding an open shot then you should eat a foul for your cowardice.
That’s how you have to play OKC. You have to hard foul them a bunch just like they do to your guys.
When the wolves beat them recently, Ant sent that message by just shoving SGA in the back when he was on a breakaway to stop the bucket. SGA of course flipped like crazy and acted like he got hit by a car from the one handed shove and went flying out of bounds onto the floor. But Ant just stood there staring down at his bitch ass after and didn’t say shit. Like yea, that was absolutely a flagrant foul, just like I intended.
You have to play OKC like that. If you are afraid of fouling them and play soft defense, you will lose, because the refs absolutely will not call half the fouls OKC commits on defense. So get your moneys worth!!
That’s what the rest of the league is picking up on. Everyone to date has been playing to not foul. The Thunder go the other way and foul like crazy and just constantly whine to the refs about any call they get.
Teams are starting to wise up and just say fuck it I guess we might foul someone out and match the physicality of the defense. The Thunder are learning very quickly that they aren’t the toughest team in the league when they can’t hide under the whistle.
He really does hate Chet lol
Victor “The Guillotine” Wembabyama

Damn near balls to shoulder
Like watching two praying mantises going at it.
I dont understand why teams don’t do this more, if OKC is getting the fouls either way, you might as well make it count and make sure they don’t get a shot up.
Damn man, even Fox is making Chet look small
Chet looks 5 feet next to Alien
He knew the flop is coming, so he made sure it was worth it. Based.
Pterodactyl sighting. Two of them!
clean
Definitely intentional. Wasn’t even going for the ball
Vassell cold this game
If you’re going to foul a shooter, make sure they miss.
Oops
LOVE this! If this team is going to flip, make them earn it
A lot of that is flopping
It’s a bit comical that this generation considers this a “really hard foul”. I would bet several Thunder fans wanted this reviewed to be an upgraded foul.
“If it’s gonna be a foul then at least let me have fun.”
regular foul after the traveling
Missed both, ball don’t lie, clearly clean.
It’s actually crazy the comment section on this play compared to any thunder play
Omg watching these slendermans are kinda ridiculous with those height and reach. Imagine shaq banging down low these guys will be going to ER after one min
Chet looks small against Wemby
