Victor Wembanyama & Keldon Johnson Go Bald After OKC Loss
Would’ve been even cooler if they did it for the Timberwolves game in a couple of days cause it’s Box Out Cancer night.
A nice show of solidarity for people going through treatment.
Ah dang, that would’ve been nice actually.
Maybe he and KJ can use Carlos Boozer or JB’s sharpie to re-fill in their hair until then
Bro became a shaolin monk again after losing to okc once
Victor takes this okc matchup personally as fuck, what did Chet do to him
We need the footage of those junior world championships.
There is footage, it’s not even bad. Wembanyama does take it badly tho and is crying a lot
Yeah he was the youngest player on the court and was very obviously the best on the court as well
He just took the loss and Chet getting the MVP extremely rough, he’s competitive as fuck
and then for the first half of his rookie year there was the whole “Chet is better than Wemby” narrative
Which was utter bullshit
Chet is a fantastic player but the media/fans trying to push the idea that he was just as good as Wemby was flat out disrespectful
He performed extremely well at the start of their rookie season, but i wouldnt have bet a single cent at the time that he would’ve been able to continue a higher level of play than Wemby for the whole season
For the first half of their rookie year, Chet was better, but after the All-Star break Wemby surpassed him and won ROTY, but people forget Wemby wasn’t quite ready for primetime when he first hit the league.
gotta give him leeway , his PG is Sochan
For the first half of their rookie year Chet was performing better but i still wouldnt have called him the objectively better player, and back when it was happening i didnt do so
Wemby had to get comfortable, yeah, but even in that first half of the season it was clear, at least to me, that he was the best rookie
The Spurs were hot garbage in Wemby’s rookie season and he was playing a much larger role than Chet, who just had to do his job while surrounded by talent.
In their first 41 games of their careers Chet averaged 17/7/3, 2.5 bpg, while Wemby was averaging 20.5/10/3, 3.1 bpg. Solidly over 4 stocks. And Wemby was playing about 2 minutes per game less than Chet in that 41 game stretch. Chet was much more efficient, which i think had to do with his role, but Wemby was better in almost every other aspect. And he was also dealing with the Spurs trying to force Jeremy Sochan into being a PG.
It’s the huge difference in efficiency, and Chet has always had better stats as a rim protector.
The efficiency argument, to a certain point, is valid
I just don’t personally think it was enough to say he was outright better at the time, especially when factoring in the difficulty of their shots and the way they went about scoring
French I’m afraid
Had the audacity to be tall without Vic’s approval
KJ said it was his idea as early as 2 games ago. But your theory is probably more fun.
Wemby low-key looks better bald. Looks older and wiser.
Jumbo sized Aang
A couple seasons ago the NBA lived in parity, then everything changed when OKC got stacked. Only Wemby master of basketball could stop them.
Jalen Williams to the spurs like zuko to team avatar?
Cannot unsee it now
Aaaaaaang
Idk about better, definitely older and different tho. Definitely dont think its a bad look tho, just different
if he ended up losing his hair he could pull off the clean shave no problem.
during the covid shutdown i tried cutting my hair all the way down on a whim, i looked like an alien and my girl hated it lol.
No he don’t bro lol
So wise, like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair
Channeling his inner Kareem Abdul Jabbar spirit animal, nba is fucked if we see him in sports goggles
I thought he looked cool when he had dyed his hair a few summers ago
Good to have options imo
He’d look cool in a Fu Manchu mustache
Jaylen Brown take notes.
They actually did go bald, their hair just did that
They both did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run.
keldon looks fuckin jacked tbh lol
Crazy how nature do that
Can we shave KATs head too
He looks like he’s playing Kareem Abdul Jabbar in a movie
His name is Roger Murdock. He’s the co-pilot
Hanamichi Sakuragi wants a word.
Vote for Pedro.
“Are you Team Jordan or Team Milli Vanilli? Answer wisely.”
Bro going for that ‘98 Duncan look
Love it. Love when players give a shit.
now there’ll be 3 basketballs on the court
As a bald guy I feel insulted when people with hair voluntarily shave their heads bald
They need to get Derrick White back
Zenbanyama
Bro watches too much old school Japanese TV.
coach: “hair is a privilege, not a right”
How did no one mention Wemby and shaolin temple 😂
Wemby was starting to get homesick, so he had to go back to his natural alien hairstyle.
Wemby on his Monk era
The Derrick White effect
Vic: “Time to get serious.”
Bro actually looks like a grey alien now
Keldon Johnson also going bald tells me wemby had some sort of silly bet where he said they’d beat OKC or shave his head lol and keldon said make it two
This is awesome. I’m no Spurs fan but the NBA needs rivalries like this. That’s a big part of what made the 80s and 90s so much fun.
What would they shave next ? …….
I want him to rock an old-school high flat-top, just to make him even fucking taller. Then grow out the goatee a little.
Tall Egyptian Alien.
Gimmick
Victor Bigbaldmamba
They going to be shaved all over after the playoffs
This bald arc gonna blow
I thought it was The Thunder that treated the game like a Championship 😅
At least they didn’t overreact
How dumb
I respect Wemby’s disdain for OKC that he’ll go to such lengths like this. He hates OKC just like the rest of the league.
corny
Thunder fans are insufferable
Why are Thunders fans so disgustingly low class?
