[Highlight] Jokic to Wemby in regards his autograph “I want the Alien, where is the Alien?” Wemby replies “Say less”
lmaooo jokic sounds like a kid here, gotta love him
Ordering ice cream
where’s the Spongebob? I want the spongebob.
Both of them seem like genuine basketball fan boy nerds trying to get valuable memorabilia signed, like an unboxed millennium falcon
This is extremely random, but I remember watching a video on the 1993 mlb all-star game when I was a kid. They had a celebrity home run derby which Michael Jordan participated in (foreshadowing).
I remember MJ gleefully going around the locker room getting a bat autographed by Griffey, Bonds, Thomas etc.
Funny enough, even though MJ was playing professional baseball the following year, IIRC only one celebrity hit a home run, Tom Selleck.
“do the roar” Shrek Vibes
“I love u Wemby”
“You really brought a book?”
I hope we get amusing interactions every time they meet. Would be fun to watch a compilation.
Something tells me Jokic actually likes basketball 🤔
There is a great presser fropm April 2024. Jokic got blocked by Wemby. He told Wemby ‘If you block me again, I am going to do something’. In the press conference, Jokic said ‘He blocked me four more times. I didn’t do anything’.
This guy plays hard and competes at the highest level, and still manages to have fun and not take it seriously
My humble king I’m pretty sure he had like 40 that game
My point. Jokic dominated (42 points) and Denver won, and he still was able to be self deprecating about Wemby getting 9 blocks, several of which were on Jokic.
Jokic is the best player in the league, in my opinion, and has been for a few seasons. But he is not arrogant or aggressive about it. He plays. He has fun. He wins.

he’s a pretty funny guy
Where’s the alien i want the alien —- lol
A 7 foot 300 pound chonker calling someone else an alien. lol indeed
Wemby, the Alien, he is my horse favorite player, he ask for autograph.
Hahahah like the team owner’s kid or something lol
Spoke perfect English for it too, lol
You got games on your phone?!
Giddy as a kid in a candy store!
Pretty good alien graphic for the angle of the jersey and amount of time.
Suspicious..
This is exactly what Obama was referencing…
thanks Obama
Obama memes were the peak of human culture
The peak of human culture was Obama
I miss Illuminati Confirmed memes
Wait a minute
X-Files theme in the background…
That’s how he’s been drawing faces since he first picked up a writing utensil back on his home planet.
To be fair, he’s probably drawn that symbol 100x more than an average person
10-11 year old me had notebooks and binders of paper of with little alien heads and the Cool S littering the margins…or sometimes entire blank pages.
Aside from being 7+ feet tall with freakish body control, hand-eye-coordination, and athleticism, Wemby and I are pretty much the same.
I bet he can draw on cornfields too 🧐
First thing I thought, solid lines especially.
Lmao love this
Joker was particular jolly during this coworker outing
Dude seems to love hanging out with his teammates and other players. He just hates the media.
also hates the all star game maybe
Wouldn’t you? Especially in the NBA where anything you say or do gets blasted on ESPN for weeks after the fact. Would be the worst part of the job, by far.
Might be fun to mess with them I guess. Say random shit like Robert Patterson
last I checked there were no horses in the All-star game so
Lol the allstar game for NBA players has to feel like a mandatory company retreat for PR and morale purposes
He likes the local media (or hates them less)
He likes and respects the players I think. Look at how he reacted to Boogie the other day, acted like a kid with how happy he was. But all that other stuff, he can’t be bothered probably
The boogie reaction was so pure. Watched it a hundred times
What happened? I missed this

This is so wholesome :‘)
Bro was happy to see Cousinsović
He should have enjoyed each costar interaction equally.
Sounds like a Severance reference lol
“you are particularly jolly when getting merch signed”
Genius branding
LeBron is who started the trend. The man knows his marketing
Really? LeBron? Was Air not a thing before?
It wasn’t. Only LeBron. LeBron invented everything.
LeBron invented himself
LeMmaculate Conception
LeSus
LeUFC
LeBron used the LeBron to invent the LeBron.
Lol that’s what people act like I swear
Lebron fandom knows no bounds
Lebron invented you as well, he has no bounds.
But…….How does this affect LeBrons legacy?
-ESPN
Genius of Taco Tuesday.
Nothing great ever happened until my generation showed up.
LeDavinci
Lebron gave wemby the alien nickname and it stuck.
You’ve gotta be kidding me….yes he did call him an alien but that is certainly not when it started. Maybe mainstream after that cuz LeBron is insanely famous but people were calling him an alien before LeBron
And no I didn’t keep receipts of it from back then cuz why the hell would I?
Yea man Lebron also first to say Taco Tuesday.
You’re so right. I’m an idiot
French Spurs fan here. Lebron is indeed the one who popularized the nickname. And I’m not a Lebron fan, for the record, although I respect his career.
Go on r/nba search bar.
Type “wemby alien” and “wembanyama alien”.
In posts and comments, sort by oldest to newest.
Lebron’s interview where he says it is the oldest instance ever on this subreddit of the words Alien and Wemby or Wembanyama put together in the same comment or post.
By anyone among the millions of people following the sub.
That was almost a full season before his draft, in 2022 IIRC.
And as a personal anecdoctal evidence, for what it’s worth, I had never heard it before, online or IRL, having followed Wemby’s French League career for longer than most.
Sounds like something an alien would say
Lebron came up with that nickname too.
I would be honored for LeBron to call me an idiot honestly
TACOO tuuueEsday!
He was referred to by a reporter to lebron as a “unicorn” and lebron corrected it to “alien”
LeBron originally called him an “alien” in October 2022 before he was even drafted. If you can find an earlier reference than that, be my guest.
Who said it before LeBron?
LeBron calling him an alien was 100% the start. “Unicorn? Kids more like an alien”. Then wemby leaned into it during draft night and then eventually Nike came with a pretty cool ad making it official
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/HSplsIVsIZ
Surprised it stuck those redditors didnt like it
Are you trying to say LeBron started the idea of personal branding?
The fuck?
Well yes, and Taco Tuesdays 🌮 People didn’t really think about anything before LeBron.
I’m 100% sure that it’s Nike who asked him to do that line personally
Which trend?
I just looked up Lebrons signature and I dont see a crown with any of them.
Do you mean his Logo?
WHERE IS ALIEN I WANT ALIEN
Bro really wanted ALIEN
^say ^less
HAB U SEEN D ALIEN PLZ? BAWS? HAAAAAAA
⏸️
You know you’re good when Jokic is asking for your autograph.
you know you’re good when you’re an All Star
*multi-time
I just mean that he’s obviously asking all the all stars not just the ones he thinks are particularly good, so by default they’re good, since they’re all stars
Hey now
Youre an all-star
Omg no
hey now
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
I mean it looked like he got the whole teams autographs
That being said you know you are good when Jokic doesn’t just want your autograph, he also wants you to draw your logo on the jersey haha
He is going to sell it later.
Easy flip for another horse
I think he could buy like 50 horses with that when you see what people are willing to spend on a trading card with wemby.
I’m gonna go check out the closest pawn shop to Ball Arena tomorrow.
The world needs a Wemby/Jokic reality TV show. Wemby takes Jokic to go hang out with shaolin monks, Jokic reciprocates by getting Wemby drunk while they look at horses.
i would subscribe to that service
Wemby episode: Okay Nikola (pronounced correctly while staring at the camera), today we unlock our chakras before reading Derrida
Jokic episode: ćao vic. this, my brothers call it smejavac. take deep breath from balloon. now get in cart. no, other side, pička ti materina
Add Ant and it would be a genuinely god tier mix of personalities lol.
Wemby & Jokic going on a road trip in Europe with Ant, you say?
‘Euro trip’ movie plot NBA adaptation
lol
I’d pay good money for this
wemby dumps out the drink while jokic isn’t watching, with a big ‘oh brother’ eyeroll. now we’re in the world of 80’s sitcoms.
Dang Joker got guns
Got that Serbian farm boy strength
Weight lifting horses?
We’re not a horse country, it’s just Jokić’s thing
wrangling horses
He’s also the runt of his family. You seen his brother?
I walked past the scary mohawk brother at Whole Foods a few months ago. He’s the largest human I’ve seen in my life.
Yeah, who wouldve figured the perennial MVP candidate of the NBA is actually in decent shape
Since the season he started winning MVPs he lifts after every game. Dude takes his weight training seriously ever since losing in the bubble.
All tris no bis
Wemby pissed he lost twice tonight lol
“Say less” French translation:
“Bro we lost twice you didn’t do shit and now you’re asking for alien” 👽
“I’m going to draw this really well but it’s not because I like you right now. It’s because we ALWAYS PUT EFFORT INTO THE THINGS WE DO”
Noh noh, not hon hon.
okay i’m not a collector and i have no idea what sports memorabilia is worth. but i see luka, murray, wembys, and i think KAT’s signatures on that. say, 20 years from now, with this video being verified proof that it’s legit, what would it be worth?
edit: it’s not towns, it’s norman powell.
Bout 🌲5️⃣0️⃣
There are no such things as trees
The Balmer defense
Game worn and video verified has to be multi million+ and more if the second half of his career pops off
You would be surprised that this stuff doesn’t go for more money than it does. I collect game used jerseys and while they are expensive, the prices don’t get nearly as outlandish as cards do. This jersey would never get anywhere near a million.
Clothes are just super hard to actually keep nice. They physically disintegrate overtime just sitting there. You can obviously keep them nice for decades if you do everything right but it’s a pain in the ass and eventually it will degrade to an extent.
For sure. And they’re a pain to display and take up a lot of room. But they are great conversation starters and game used jerseys are something that a lot of sports fans find cool because they seem like something that isn’t really possible for an average person to get.
Factor in 20 years of inflation and economic instability
Of course, by then a million won’t be worth much.
No way, the autos don’t add that much and jerseys often depreciate in value over time unless it’s like Jordan or something - I’d say at most maybe $100k and probably less
probably like x1 stick of RAM
Dude just casually draws a perfect alien. What cant he do!
Rely on international players apparently
Wemby is way too likable
Nice to see Wemby taking himself way less seriously than he did last year. Seems like him and Jokic seem to be developing a decent friendship too.
Both these guys are generational personalities in the league.
Now how does Jokic draw a horse?
He be gassing up his enemies. He knows he’ll see Luka and Wemby in the playoffs soon enough. Smart killer.
Just like MJ taking Barkley out to golf before he shredded them in the finals.
[deleted]
One of many speech fads that needs to die soon (but thankfully, most of them do).
I feel like say less has been around for a while now
Say less to the dress
you sound corny bring worried about what other people say
He’s gonna get carpal tunnel shading those alien eyes for everyone. No more alien.
Looks like he got most of his teammates to sign it. Man think about about how much that would be worth one day
He probably got all the world allstars to sign it at the end
Joker is the man
Jokic continues bullying Wemby at All Star games
Damn wemby has some artistic skills too!
Jokic sounding like a lil kid asking for the drawing of an alien lol👽
If you didn’t know Jokic he just looks like a huge, intimidating slav who’s probably a very serious person, when he’s really one of the goofiest dudes in the league and is more like a 7 ft little kid who seems to get along with everyone (except the Morris twins)
I think that’s a Morris twins problem, not a Jokic problem
giannis not even knowing the format is killing me
So now we know 2 things that make Joker happy. Horses and wemby.
3 things: add triple doubles to the list.
And life and basketball.
5 things. And beer. 6 things.
*Horses and aliens.
“Where’s the alien, I want the alien!”
Jokic is both intentionally and unintentionally the funniest dude.
These two have some strong comedic duo energy
Alien and horse lover
Bummed we didn’t get to see a Joker/Wemby/Giannis front court
Hahahah he sounded so stern with that request
That signature goes so hard
This is wholesome.
Such a cute interaction. I like these guys.
Jokic not playing around
have you seen an alien please
Wembys your favorite player’s favorite player
but Wemby is my favorite player🤔
Wemby confirmed narcissist. Math checks out.
I love this
This is amazing
Wemby stuff is still crazy priced so Jokic is surely using this to secure a future horse
Nice to see that Jokic is a Wembanyama fan.
That alien graphic on the jersey is seriously well done. Jokic’s pure excitement here is just so genuine and hilarious. It’s awesome to see that kind of mutual respect between two generational talents. Moments like this are what make the league so much fun.
That’s a fucking sick autograph
Wemby is like the responsible adult in a room full of teenagers
If Luka, Jokic or Harden had Wemby as their rollman.
If Jokic wants to Wemby alien then everyone is going to want a Wemby alien.
That’s someone that cherished the day
The alien in fire asf. A must have for every signature
Wemby’s ratio of calf size to shoe size is pretty damn hilarious
What happened now? We lost alreadyyy? Pleaseeee
Surprised Jokic wanted autographs lol
Jokic appreciates Wemby because he’s built like a slender thoroughbred
Jasson Dominguez is punching air right now
Ayyy lmao
LOL
He made the smiling joker face
Jokic: Wait, is that your mom or your dad? Wemby: Both.
