Best part lmao.
OH MY GOOD LORD 🙏

I’m going to be charitable and assume this is in good faith, here’s some reading - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English
if wemby was a knick i think the city wouldnt survive
Flipping cars every playoff win
Death Star if they make it to the finals
End of the solar system if they win the finals.
Honestly probably any regular season win
They’d rename it the Wembpire state building
The Knicks won one series against Boston and I swear to God they almost burned their city down.
A generational star like Wemby getting them to the finals would result in Manhattan being obliterated.
You’d have to shut the whole city down lmfao
I wouldn’t want to be in Philly if he ever ends up there. Won’t be any street lights left in the city.
Full on Gotham
Just imagine when this man hits his prime.
Dude is already almost unstoppable.
Another 5 years and he’ll be 8’7”
With a 10’ wingspan
And he’ll be a fully converted Texan by then
450 lbs of muscle and churros
I can’t wait to witness it
“Who wants to sex MutumboWembanyama?”
Close enough, welcome back Wilt
I am the comment that says “as long as he stays healthy”
I’d legit take this version of Wemby over Prime Duncan in an absolute heartbeat
Ain’t no way.
The lady calling him tall sugar is concerned about him hitting something, but I don’t think think it’s his prime
You can always tell when someone comes into a thread with a very specific reply to make and just finds the closest comment that matches lol
Lmao
We all laughed
Sure pal
Cervix?
Complements from Black women are top tier
One “sugar” like that would heal me.
Man that shit wasn’t even directed at me and it’s got me blushing
Always treasure them
Little ol Hispanic ladies too.
Especially when they do it in Spanish too
Exactly. Don’t know exactly what they said but you can tell it was sweet.
You like black women? I love them
I AM A CHRISTMAS ADVENTURER!!
Oh buddy do I have news for you. Go back and watch the video frame by frame🤣
A big American lass called me baby in Chicago airport was hilarious
What about compliments?
I noticed that he is wearing pants that are long enough for him to roll up the bottoms over his shoes. I can only assume that his pants require twice as much material to make as mine do (I am like 5’9”).
His stylist knows what their doing. It’s a good look.
I mean he is one of the very handful number of people with a LVMH endorsement deal so there’s that…
His jean size must be 32x62
Pretty sure they used a whole cow for that jacket
Wemby is a Superstar. The amount of talent that has graced Texas basketball is crazy.
Yep, not like one of their talents could’ve been dominating for us….cries in not getting Tim Duncan
You guys did fine without him
The Celtics are such a strong franchise that in the decade between the Big 3 breaking up and the J’s era really starting, they had time to fit two other solid rebuilds in (IT Al Horford team and Kyrie Hayward team). And when both of those failed due to injuries etc. they said fuck it then, we have a new contender led by two legit stars and some of the best supporting pieces in the league. Having 4 different squads that have been in Finals contention in 15 years is ridiculous
Spurs at Knicks game postponed due to unexpected flooding inside of Madison Square Garden.
Damn who brought they aunties lmaooo
He’s so hot I hate him 😩
Saw Wemby live at a Hawks home game. This dude dwarfs everyone on the court.
Welcome to New York City, Sugar.
Imagine being 7’5” yet your pants are too long and you have to cuff them
“You’ll grow into them!”
Wembys mom
“Nooooo!”
-rest of the NBA
Wemby got jokes, but he also got rizz…
Respectfully, that’s exactly how I’d react if I met Wemby lol
Victor “Oh My Goodness” Wenbanyama.
Seriously does anyone hype you up more than black women? I’m over here getting pumped listening to them compliment some other dude.
Nope.
What we’re all thinking
It must suck to be gawked at like that everywhere you go. I’m 6’5” and I went to China for work for a month and holy fuck, they treat you like a side show…this dudes a foot taller than me
MVP
That smile back was nothing but swagger.
I love that he had custom jeans made TOO long just so he could cuff them.
Tall Sugar is a great nickname!
I need this every morning
I hate how much I like Wemby.
It’s at this moment you see him as just a giant kid, cause he is 22
Victor Elvisbanyama
All he did was walk and smile, and women are damn near fainting in his presence.
One time in University, I was in a computer lab and this African guy walks in, easily nearing 7’. I’d never seen a person that tall in my life before, I just stared at him as he walked in, had to duck under the door frame. It was like something out of a horror movie at first lol.
I felt horrible when I realized I was just staring at this man openly in public, watching him walk, me a white guy, him a black guy in a very white town in Eastern Canada.
Ended up talking to him a bit later, he was having problems with the printer; it was a shitty printer. We chatted for a bit, he was telling me about how weird it is being that tall, hard to find shoes and stuff. Nice dude.
Every time I see this guy in full size, I always think of those Avatar species where they convert humans into those species in Avatar 1. The way they walk, run, play, etc.
that was me talking in the background
What I imagined my wife would tell me on our honeymoon..
What book is he reading
That made me blush
I’ve been in that tunnel.
Ridiculously tall, super skilled, and handsome. World is his.
poor kid will never escape the glazing
Wemby still has to roll up his jeans leg even though he is a giant. Lol
The “oh bless you” part was great.
Now let’s flip the coin. What if this was an WNBA player and they were men saying “Tall sugar, oh my good lord”…
Wow. Very fantastic body!!!
Why the fuck does he have to walk a long steep ramp in some barren maintenance tunnel, while being ogled by the staff to get to the game? Who designed this place?
Sorry not all of our teams play in new soulless arenas that we just recently moved to because our old home didn’t want us.
Maybe instead of lashing out on others, you could try and pressure your owner to actually renovate the backstage in your arena? This would be embarrassing, even for a small market team. Meanwhile this is going on in the supposed “world’s most famous arena” and “The Mecca”. It’s not like Dolan can’t afford to do it.
Maybe you could pressure your owner to discover what “colors” are.
It was built in 1964 and still the best in-arena experience in all of sports.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they had architects back in 1964.
Arena floor is actually on the 5th floor. There is an elevator for players if they want to go up but most players don’t wanna look like a bitch and actually like walking up the 5 floor ramp.

These are professional athletes, so the physical strain of walking up the ramp doesn’t have much impact on their play. “It’s just a funny hill,” Penguins forward Anthony Mantha said. It can, however, get into their heads. Ex-Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley posted a photo of the ramp on his Snapchat during the 2025 playoffs with the caption “This ramp sucks”. Martinook said he’ll sometimes notice if his legs feel heavy. “Walking into the game, sometimes you can tell if you have the legs or not,” Stars forward Mikko Rantanen said. “If you get tired on that hill, you’re screwed.”

Hey, man. Thanks for actually providing a useful answer to my question, instead of deflecting, attacking me for being a Nets fan or making some silly excuses, like some of the other replies.
If indeed players use the ramp as some form of masculine ritual, then that’s fine, I guess. Maybe MSG should just put a fresh coat of paint on the walls, or put some panelling on the roof, to hide the innards, if they’re often photographed making the trek, so it doesn’t look so low budget. Just saying.
Come on, you got a point, but no offense, that was a funny comeback. 😂
Like you said it’s just some maintenance tunnel. It’s been like this forever. I’m Glad it hasn’t turned into the Taco Bell Cantina Tunnel.
Yet.
Nets fan making fun of msg. I know he is not from nyc
I just feel second-hand embarrassment from this video.
“I just feel second-hand embarrassment from this video.”
-Fans of the other 29 teams watching nets games
It’s 2029 and I’m looking at what could have been had injuries not derailed his career. Look at the strain of walking up hill here, the signs were there.
