[Highlight] Wemby walks off the court without shaking hands after loss to the Thunder, He is the only Spurs player to walk off.
Will this be the origin of Wemby’s hate train? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z.
it wont start until he shits the bed in the playoffs dont overthink it
I wonder how long Wemby’s bed is
Bold of you to think he sleeps in a bed. He’s either doing some monk floor mat or sleeping standing up.
Actually he hangs from the ceiling
It’s how he “grew” again this summer
Upside down like a bat.
7’5”
I wonder how long wemby’s shits are
I’ve never had a thought like that in my life…..until now😂😂I’m 5’8” and have a regular king bed. All these guys have to get specially made beds
He’s young so he has like 1-2 years of a grace period. After that people
the start of the hate train is when he beats Jokic in the playoffs or wins a ring or is competing for MVP that’ll be the real haters
Kind of like SGA?
Why would people hate on him for not liking the Thunder? No one likes the Thunder besides Thunder fans. The beginning of the hate train for Wemby will be if he gets an MVP over Luka or Jokic the two golden boys of the league, or if his Spurs are so good and dominant like the Thunder that people get pissed off losing to him so much.
I get the thunder hate, but just shake their hand smh.
I like that he didn’t, the league needs more people and teams feeling like they hate each other. Dillon Brooks for example is really entertaining, especially his feud with Lebron. The league needs more stuff like that, it makes the games feel like they have way more meaning, even in the regular season. I do draw the line at the shit Draymond does like putting Rudy in a chokehold though, that’s just pathetic.
Poor sportsmanship is pretty universal
nah that’ll come in a year or 2 when he’s stomping the league while flopping all over the place like he did last night.
when they are dominant the hate train will come very quick, right now they are still sort of underdogs and beating the hated thunder so they are beloved but the switch will flip quick.
This. It’s always been like this. Young, talented underdog teams always get love until they start curb stomping the league. Everything this sub praises about Wemby now, will be the same things this sub will hate in a year or so.
Wasn’t that long ago that SGA was the widely-beloved rising star of a plucky underdog Thunder team.
And before that it was Steph on the Warriors, who was preceded by a young Harden on the Rockets, who was preceded by Lob City Clips, who was preceded by ThunderU with KD, Russ and Harden, who was preceded by pre-Decision LeBron….
All of them were widely loved until they weren’t. Just how it goes, especially in this personality-driven sport.
The Suns are going through it right now. We were supposed to be ass, but we’re pretty good. Not good enough to contend, but good enough for “Wow this Suns team is really fun to watch” comments just like the bubble.
It’s like a weird form of pity. If you ever take that next step and become a real contender, it’s over. Neutral fans don’t like actually good teams.
Suns have already gone through essentially the whole cycle during Booker’s career and are back to lovable underdogs and dude’s not even 30 yet
Gotta be honest, I was going for yall in the 21 Finals. But if you would have won I’d probably be talking mad shit about AD being hurt, Giannis being hurt, CP3 being a flopper, etc lol.
Ngl I can’t wait till we’re hated again bro lmao. I hate weird ass pity that everyone is giving us.
the hate will start when he starts competing with Jokic for MVP.
lmao yes esp on r/nba
you’ll start hearing wemby is playing with top 3 picks while jokic never played with a top 3 pick
If Wemby is in an MVP race with Jokic, you already know what Jokic glazers are gonna say:
IF THE SPURS HAVE A BETTER RECORD THAN THE NUGGETS: “MVP Is about Most Valuable Player for the team, not best player on best team. Jokic is carrying bums, he deserves MVP”
IF THE NUGGETS HAVE A BETTER RECORD THAN THE SPURS: “MVP has always historically gone to best player on best team. Jokic is even better than last year, look at his stats. Wemby is putting up stats but hes the 6th seed lmao, win games if you wanna be MVP. Jokic is MVP”
and if Wemby is injured but still reaches the threshold while Jokic plays more it’ll be “you can’t be injured so much and be MVP”
And if Jokic is injured, you’ll see what you’ve been seeing the past few weeks
“I’d rather have 55 games of Jokic than 70 games of Avidja”
“I think the 65 games minimum is too much, having a set number for requirement is stupid”
“For All-NBA teams, voters should have a choice if they’d rather have 55 games of Jokic or someone else because everyone with a brain would take Jokic”
why would anyone hate this? the less of buddy buddy in the league the better in my opinion
it started after the nba cup loss
I started hating him after he started talking “ethical basketball”. Its fucking basketball, not human rights. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit…
Most annoying NBA buzzword in quite some time.
I agree it’s obnoxious but no one had this energy last season with Jarrett Allen when he was saying pretty much the exact same thing.
Fr one of the lamest comments. Idk how he didn’t catch more shit for that.
Because he was catering to the lowest common denominator (people on basketball Twitter talking about the Thunder)
I feel like we are seeing a lot of potentially unlikable traits from Wemby this year. He just also a lot of likeable traits. But I would say he has the potential be a big sore loser down the line. We will see.
He does this at the end of most games. It’s not unique to the Thunder.
Bro thinks he’s Perfect Cell (probably is)
He’s Fr*nch. No other reason is needed.
Hate train? Nah, OKC is already hated, this might make Wemby more liked on here
Cool thing is he embraces it
This guys a diva. His whole beef with Chet showed that.
It was an ethical walk to the locker room
Wemby’s a fantastic player but that “ethical” shit was so cringe and obnoxious lol. And it’s doubly hilarious bc he flops too.
And this sub ate it right up cause the hate boner for OKC and Shai is real
We could literally trace the hate back to playoffs last year because it felt like everyone thought we would fail. After we beat the Grizzlies and Nuggets though. It turned to just slander and pure vitriol. We didnt even get a championship thread on the NBA sub. It was so spiteful.
I’m confused. Did the other Spurs players fly off?
They used Instant Transmission
Very sophisticated
So what? Bring back players hating each other and hating other teams.
Agreed. League is more fun with intense rivalries
Yeah! fuck the knicks
Trey shooting dice at half court was the shit
Some people are really passionate about players sportsmanship at the end of games for whatever reason.
Only if it’s a player they’re looking to hate on. If you like them, it’s just passion and good the league isn’t soft. If you hate them, classless move.
What happened to the game I love
Curious how this post would be if SGA did this
Search “LeBron walks off the court” and you’ll get about 25 videos of LeBron doing the same with this sub absolutely crucifying him for it. The reactions here vs there are incredibly telling
I believe it
Exactly. Should rename this sub to r/hypocrisy
Fr
they should just be like us fr
They wanted 90s bball back but are starting to hate it. Funny to see.
Predicted top comment. Now let’s see what the top comment woulda been if SGA walked off without shaking hands 🤔
Lmao wish this would be the top comment when SGA, Bron, Luka, another player with a hatebase does this
Do players always dap up and all? I feel like this is pretty normal
Idk LeBron leaves immediately after every game to go to the training room.
Those golf videos aren’t going to watch themselves.
Yeah but he gotta tend to those arthritic knees
Bro’s usually in the tunnel with 35 seconds left lol
That’s where the icyhot vat is waiting.
LeGym Rat
I think it’s just that Wemby gets treated by fans and media as this extra-gracious sportsman who doesn’t stoop to the level of others.
In reality, they’re all competitors, emotional, and hate losing. On general grounds it’s a non-story, but more a commentary that we shouldn’t put Wemby on a pedestal as if he’s a superior person to all the other guys in the league
You’re not thinking with your victim cap man
I’d say there’s no standard to it, guys do it occasionally and chat with friends/old teammates. I think the only necessary times you should do it are Christmas and after a playoff series.
Ant leaves sometimes but usually only after a loss. Personally I like it because it shows he actually gets pissed at losing.
After a playoff series yeah. otherwise not really unless theyre actually friends or something
Half the people in this subreddit don’t actually watch games.
Yea what? I thought it was only really expected to do that at the end of a playoff series
Nah this is fine, pretty sure the only reason most guys even dapped up last night was cause Sochan was talkin noise after the buzzer with someone from our team and the rest of the teams came over to calm it down
Who cares? Every player is different, and he isn’t required to make friends with anyone. Silly faux controversy.
One annoying about this ‘rivalry’ is that people rush to read way too into shit and take things out of context just to create controversy every single time we play each other.
The dude is French. Not shaking hands and just walking off the court is probably considered really polite in his culture.
I’m French and I actually prefer you spit on me before you leave the court after I win.
Between this and the Rumble drum thing, we’re really grasping at straws.
Ok and?
Agreed, massive nothing burger!
I love it. No need to be fake.
I love petty shit like this.
It’s not even petty these are grown ass men in the NBA they don’t need to shake hands and be all good game good game blah blah blah after one regular season game in January. He lost, fuck em, time to go home and prepare for the next game
I agree. I’m okay with hand shakes, I’m okay with walking off, I’m okay with dunks at ends of games, I’m okay with running up the score, I’m okay with smiles and conversations at the end and trading jerseys and everything in between.
I need more scowling tho
Seriously this shit ain’t grade school
You would think that training with monks would lead to less pettiness though lol
They taught him to be even more petty looks like.
It’s not playoffs so who cares lol
Even if it was, I wouldn’t care
MJ took it personally
end of series handshake is different than a game before that in that context
controversial sort gonna go hard in an hour
Good. He doesn’t have to shake anyone’s hand after a Mid-season game.
but can celebrate like he won the superbowl during a regular season win in Paycom😂
the hypocrisy is crazy.
Why not celebrate a big win for your team. They felt validated by the victory. I don’t care either way, but thinking you have to break bread after 1 of 82 games is silly. Especially if he doesn’t care for how they play.
I’m making an implication about your [mid-season game] comment
It’s OKC, goal posts are optional and are mobile with r/nba
Especially those he implies are unethical, although he never gave any explanation as to what he meant by that!
nobody with a functioning prefrontal cortex needed an explanation for what he meant by that
This is what he usually does. If anything I am surprised to see him hang around the court after at all
Yeah I like it more when players aren’t friends with opponents
r/nba slowing realizing that Wemby is actually french as hell
Everyone knows he’s French dude
forgot biyombo was on the spurs, thats fun
Big fat nothing-burger imo. It’s a mid season game and these guys have played each other so many times already. If he walked off after getting eliminated then that’s a different story
Stop it. Not unusual at all for guys not to shake hands after regular season games.
Mods please delete. I thought this sub was supposed to be a Wemby circlejerk
This isn’t LeBron walking to the tunnel after every playoff exit. This is a regular season game.
So ethical and pure ❤️
Love it, but also seeing this sub’s reaction to Wemby walking off vs when other players do it is really funny.
The guy played euroleague. And is French. He not gonna dap up anyone he don’t like
It’s more of a rivalry in wemby head than anything
Wtf is this?!?!!
Players don’t dap each other up en-mass in a regular season game 😆🤣
Man I hate to be cliche but LeBron really did ruin the damn league. He and silver. This is fucking weird
LeBron never sticks around after games to chat with the other team. Not sure why you mentioned him related to this.
lol Thunder going to make wemby put on 30 pounds of muscle this off season and enter his villain arc if they win the chip again
This feels like such a forced “rivalry” to me lmfao, it feels like acting! Very silly
This the exact kind of shit people are cool with until he starts having some level of success without reaching a championship. He does this in the playoffs in a series loss and the sub will flip on him.
I guess he’s not getting any orange slices…
Good to see wemby get humbled.
He does this pretty much every game; stop trying to use clickbait
He did it so ethically though
This sub slurps Wemby up too much to call this out for what it is: straight up bozo behavior.
Love that.
This post surely will be calm
Kenrich Williams basically gave him a wedgie on national TV. I’d be embarrassed to if I were him.
Oh , this is personal and I love it!!
Gotta remember, Wemby didn’t grow up in the States. A lot of these dudes know one another since their AAU days. Wemby is about business, not friendships. 🫡
I love this
I do think it’s a bitch move to walk off without shaking hands at the end of a playoff series. But in a regular season game.. whatever.
I agree with both schools of thought… It’s no use bullshitting like you hate other players on the other side…so yeah, dap the ones you know up, say “imma hit you up”, and dip out …. But damn sometimes lining up like some fan girls to dap up THE SHAI is a bit much… The giggling too after a game… It’s just bad optics… Like, we know that the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin was cool AF behind the scenes… But you’d never see their real interactions in front of everyone… Also, Wemby and Giannis were raised in EU that have soccer … Rivalries are very real and drive revenue in EU soccer… And that tension make for really great matches… Wemby probably wants that vibe in the culture.
North America is one of the few places people shake hands after the match. Usually athletes in the rest of the world shake hands before the match. It honestly makes a lot of sense, respect your opponent before the match, but afterwards when emotions are usually at their highest you don’t have to interact with the other team. Wemby’s French, this isn’t a big deal
bro football players shake hands after the match
Tennis players too, this guy just wants the narrative to shift reality. XD
Who gives a shit lol
I literally could not be less bothered by this.
I’d be upset too if my minutes were limited
So sigma. 🐺🥶
After flopping all game he had to go cry.
More of this. Tired of seeing players chop it up before during after games.
Wemby vs OKC is going to feed this league for years.
Wemby still learning. If you get a rep for giving interviews and talking smack about the other teams you get to exit the game alone. But if you play hard until the whistle blows and leave it on the court, everyone walks away respectfully until the next game.
I think his competitive nature will tire on fans real quickly
Love me some angry Wemby.
I’m glad some players still don’t like the buddy-buddy sentiment with other teams you would gladly trade places with in playoffs
Forgot that biyombo is still in the league.

I like how everyone’s in here defending wemby but when LeBron does it he’s a sore loser crybaby
How ethical of him lmfao
his team wack for not following his lead.
There aren’t handshake lines in the NBA like in college.
He’s done that for all the games
Sacrebleu he out
butthurt little bitch
J’emmerde les enfants
-Wemby, probably
Weak from someone who’s shit so hard on OKC tbh and I hate them
Yeah, only the Thunder
Wah
The only reason Wemby has avoided hate thus far is because he’s had no team success. He hasn’t even made the play in before and now they’re the 2 seed, so that changes this year. Hate train is ramping up big time.
Personally, I’d like to see a rivalry form as a Thunder fan. The NBA neeeeeddds more story arcs!
Wemby to Bucks for Giannis confirmed
We need more of this. Fuck all that fake friends shit.
We need a pure hater in the association.
He does this after most games unless someone on the other team is an old teammate or French
Personally I’m glad we are bringing toxicity back. Arena was going wild last night booing him and it was fun af.
People love his temperment and choice of words but he big petty as a competitor lol it’s great
I don’t give af what this guy does before/after games.
Also: NBA needs this playoff series. Hope it happens.
Who cares
Dude wants to be a heel so bad
We need that playoff series
Dude is so unlikable. Everyone wants to project a Tim Duncan-like personality on this guy, and he’s nowhere near that level of professionalism.
This is the poisoned i signed up for, tha is for saving basketball Wemby!
He just had to poop, leave the guy alone
He walked off towering passionately, tho
SOFT
No class arrogant fuck!
I don’t want to shake hands with those disgusting people. Even breathing the same air as them makes me wanna vomit
Hes got a lot of hate in his heart for a guy who hasnt done a damn thing but also who cares.
Eh, he always walks off without dapping up opponents, even against other teams. You can probably count on your hands the number of times he shook hands with opponents after a game. Even on wins he either walks off or is pulled for an interview so he doesn’t have a chance to meet players. I do find it notable though that he’s like that, for whatever reason.
I just assumed Wemby went back to the locker room to get a few extra minutes of treatment on his knee and ankle before they got in the team plane.
LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU YOUNG WEMBWALKER
How ethical
Les Oklahoma City Cheeks sont une équipe de seconde zone et ne méritent pas ma grandeur.
