Anthony Edwards attributes the competitiveness in the 2026 All-Star to Victor Wembanyama: “He set the tone”
People really gotta be so weird in the comments about Ant. Was a good All-Star game and he deserved MVP. Wemby set the tone, and Ant is competitive, hopefully it bodes well for future All-Star games
Totally agree tbh
The very second that game 1 started and Wemby came out like a freight train, everybody realized that he was for real. He played that game like it was the finals. He forced everybody else to step up if they didn’t want to be humiliated. It was so fun to watch the shift happen in real time.
Yeah Wemby was great despite the last game being disappointing. Overall this was much better than it had been.
Wemby scored 19 points and was 6⁄8 from the field in game 2, what do you mean disappointing?
The final game between the two USA teams was disappointing.
Brown just started chucking threes and missing
He was tanking for Wemby
I think they meant game 4 was disappointing, not Wemby’s 2nd game.
He said, the last game is disappointing. Not Wemby.
Putting it all in one sentence with “despite” definitely implies Wemby’s last game was disappointing
I think the person was saying the final game between old USA vs young USA was disappointing
I disagree though. It was less exciting sure, but they still tried. One team just went cold. That happens in basketball all the time
Your reading skill is doom
Tbf the first comment was really poorly written.
Story of Wemby’s life so far is losing because he has no help lol. Atleast the Spurs might change that eventually
Eventually?
I meant winning a championship
Ah - I got you
Shit, they’re changing that this season lol
Every great has to go through that at some point. Only makes them better
The spurs are 10-4 without him this season man lmao
Wonder how yall would react growing up seeing guys like young LeBron or young Jordan
That’s “no help”
Remember lebron took a team with mo williams as the second best player to 66 wins at 24 years old
He only has another all-star, the defending Rookie of the Year, the 2nd pick in this years draft, and a top 6th man of the Year candidate.
Spurs got 8 guys averaging double digits - more than the Nuggets, Wolves, Thunder, Lakers, and Rockets.
I like Wemby but the fans gotta chill. He has a good ass team.
He still edging that damn bottle bruh
Thought he was finally gonna take a sip lol
Now can somebody make the US care about fielding a competitive FIBA World Cup team next year?
French seven footers working OT trying to get Ant to put some effort in.
In either way lmao
Underrated comment 👏
my boy ant gotta stop creasing his forehead man.
the curse of the nba forehead wrinkles is getting to him
That’s my franchise superstar
Same bro, same.
Wemby is the platonic ideal of basketball
“How do we save the all-star game?”
“What if one of us tried?”
“No, it can’t be that easy”
Something I’ll always respect about Ant is that he calls it how it is
We out here talking about practice, I mean the allstar game effort. When it comes down to it I would rather have my team players come out heathy than have a fun competitive game. Im not going back to the “glory” days and watching an allstar game from the 80/90s cause it was competitive.
It was cool back then cause we did not have social media and it was a glimpse inside the nba. We see all this daily now. Its not that the attitude or play of the players. Its the fact there is nothing to draw fans and we for the most part just dont care.
If Ant could ever mature beyond impregnating IG 3’s he’d be so good as the next face of the NBA
How many kids does he have now and not take care of?
He pays/payed child support. Does that count?
No
“I pressure women into getting abortions.”
Reddit unite!
what the fuck bro
I’m not the one who did that
thats why hes the goat
Take my updoot🤓
Wemby didnt set anything. Hes overtrying for a meaningless game and risking players health. If you wanna do that fine
He wanted to win. It was way more fun to watch because of it. Because he wanted to win, everyone wanted to win.
Nah, he’s doing his job. NBA players are paid to play games full effort.
overtrying
These dudes try harder in their pickup games and scrimmages than they would the last few years in the ASG lol.
Man shut up
Always the one flair-less weirdo in the comments, it never fails lol
It’s an OKC fan, they’re almost all like this clown.
