Fucking this guy is on my team lol
how yall get so lucky every generation with big men bruh. shit ain’t fair
David Robinson prayed a lot and it paid off.
Wemby might make me religious if they win it all this year.
I pray every night to Our Lady of Perpetual Bigmen
man we accept bandwagon fans š
nah im good lol ill just stick to my team, bandwagon fans are a cancer to every fanbase. Second he does bad, they’ll turn on him and leave.
Wemby is my favorite player and since I only got into to the league in 2023 I feel like a bandwagon fan.
I was a bandwagon fan in 2003. I literally picked the MVP’s jersey and decided that that was my team.
I’m not even American or related to Texas in any way.
You do you.
That is the thing… I’m lower on Kawhi and Duncan (Peak wise) than most general NBA fans so it feels weird.
I gotta ask why RE Duncan
RE?
In reference to, just curious why you donāt rate Duncanās prime that highly because I think he has a pretty clear argument for top-10 or so prime OAT but always love talkin shop with others
I think he has a top 10 peak and career overall, I’m just always the surprise by the people who try to push narratives that he has a goat level peak and or career and I think he clearly doesn’t have a argument for those cielings.
It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish. Stay for the Spurs. It’s a great team to root for.
Big ol’ women deserve big ol’ men.
Why dont other teams just get lucky and draft generational talent? Is they stupid?????
Not fair at all lol. And then after Wemby they get Castle and Harper. It’s Fucked. Can the Spurs please spare a crumb of luck for my beloved Jazz?
I got a little emotional when we drafted Wemby in 2023. I lit a candle for good luck . I’ve been praying for times like this . It’s finally taken 3 years to see it through. . they will be ready for the playoffs
Praying for times like this???? Your team was a contender for 20+ years and won multiple rings lmao
No shit. We were never championship caliber in close to 10 years. So yes, you would have been praying as well. Kawhi left us like a bitch but he helped us get Wemby.
Lol forgive us for not understanding your pain
Brother, the Wizards havenāt won 50 games in a season in 47 years. The Spurs not being championship relevant for 6 years was less fun as a Spurs fan, yes, but weāre spoiled and itās okay to own that
Oh boo hoo you had to only be a mid-major team for six years after two decades of perennial championship competition
I’ve been praying for times like this . It’s finally taken 3 years to see it through.
This legit sounds like our fanbase between 2019 and 2022 lmao
I was at a Buddhist in Korea the week before that lottery, and offered up my prayers that day for the Spurs to win the lottery
I want you to know that, as a Pistons fan, I’ve decided to hate you, the Spurs, and Wemby for the rest of my life.
he’s so easily the DPOY lol if he doesn’t reach 65 games it’s a tragedy
At this point even he doesn’t reach the limit, Adam Silver gotta step in and be like “look I know he didn’t make the 65 games but I don’t give a shit, Wemby is the DPOY, its done” because it really is not close.
Happened last year, despite being out half the season he still ended up with the most blocks in the league but wasn’t eligible.
All that in 22 minutes, crazy
Spent as many minutes on the stationary bike as he did on the floor.
Why so few minutes?
2nd night of a B2B and he played 38 mins last night.
Played 40 last game, Spurs trying to not kill him and save him for the playoffs.
Training for the Tour de France
Superduperdomestique
For Seixas.
Victor the Conqueror strikes again
and tears of joy
i love this fucking team
he’s crying cause he has to live in Trump’s America at the end of the day
[deleted]
Imagine being this unaware of sarcasm.
27⁄10 and 5 stocks and bro only played like 20 minutes, shit is actually unreal dawg
Best player in the league
If he improves his offense and can stay healthy, then it wouldn’t even be a debate.
When heās on, heās the greatest changer
FBI waiting for Batum and Lopez in the tunnel
Imo that play was primarily Lopezās fault. He immediately gave the ball back to Batum not giving him time to at least get inside.
Thank you Brook. You were scorching hot in the 1st half. Thank you for the win!
looking back, batum probably wasn’t meant to be involved in the action outside of inbounding so he probably didn’t expect lopez to pass him the ball
Yeah he looked bewildered when the ball came back to him
The play was originally for a lob dunk at rim for DJJ, but Wemby was in between ball and Rim and Batum thought Wemby could tip the lob pass so he went to safe release in Brook.
Doing this in 21 minutes like wth lol
This kid was literally about to pass out in the first 5 minutes of the game lol
those back2back games hurt like a mfr
That defensive stop on Leonard followed by game winning dunk on the breakaway was beautiful for Spurs fans to watch
Clippers fucking suckš
Bro the post-game thread after the clippers beat the pacers the other day had some of the lowest IQ takes I’ve ever seen. Top comment was someone saying they had a real chance to beat us in round 1, and anyone arguing that the clippers beating the literal worst team in the league didn’t change their first round odds was getting downvoted. I am convinced half of this sub doesn’t watch basketball lol
Everyone on both teams were trying to lose in that final minute except for Wemby
Put some respect on Carter Bryant’s name.
Golden boy
Golden Retreiver Boy.
Didnāt get to watch the game. Can anyone explain why he only played 21 minutes?
Is it because the Spurs were down so much so they sat him and then the Spurs came back?
He went to the locker room early in the 1st quarter and was out the rest of 1Q and the start of the 2nd quarter
He also played 40 minutes the night prior. They were being pretty careful with him, with good reason.
Ahh was he hurt?
No official reports. Judging by his post game interview he said he felt like he was going to pass out, so I think he was just super fatigued
Been away from San Antonio for a while. It’s been windy. I bet he’s feeling that cedar fever.
He’ll be a true central Texan now if we can get a DNP: Cedar Fever on the books
Got it, thanks
Mightve just been fatigued and recommended by the health team, 2nd night of a b2b after playing 39 minutes in the first game
Played 39 min the game before scoring 38 pts, literally last night, dude was exhausted since heās already on minute restrictions. Still gave 21 min tonight and put up 27 pts. Absolute beast of a player
also back to back and yesterday played 38 min
Right got it, thanks.
He played almost 40 yesterday. So just time management probably.
He needed some time to train on the bike, he is participating in the Tour de France this summer.
Wemby himself said that during the first quarter he got exhausted, that’s why he sit out the end of Q1 and half of Q2
Itās worth watching if you have league pass. Incredible game unless one is a Clippers fan.
I caught the last 1:30 live on league pass and even that was fun
I DONT THINK IVE EVER LOVED ANOTHER HUMAN AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS MAN
Curry draws so much attention, so does Wemby. Clips are so worried about him getting rebounds off FTs, they forgot to check the other Spurs guys.
Insane clippers choke
In 21 minutes btw
Fox saved this game
Going for the MVP. Not sure he can make it but he definitely is the best player in the world right now.
once he gets elite as a scorer by curating his game and gettin a couple go to moves to score easy, them 80s defenders in the media gonna have to work overtime to find ways to deny him breaking all the DPOY and mvp records so they can protect their idols legacy
The greatest
Incredible job by Lopez to just stand there at the end instead of trying for a rebound.
I’d say it was more on Mathurin for completely ignoring the shooter and helping box out Wemby. Gave Castle the easiest rebound and putback
MVP that man for the love of god!
Damn, all that in the span of one sitcom episode
Wild end to a game!
This dude fills out the stat sheet in so little minutes, itās absurd!
Most impactful player in the league. MVP
I love this man. Unreal player.
21 shots in 22 min thats the aggressive wemby spurs gonne need in the playoffs
Canāt even blame bandwagon fans who wouldnāt want to watch this guy
Why 22 minutes? Did he got injured?
Felt winded in the first quarter, he said he was passing out at the end of the game.
B2B
Why did he only play 22 minutes? I tragically did not watch this game
Back to back. He played the most minutes since his rookie year against Detroit. Said in the postgame interview that he was absolutely exhausted in the first quarter.
Top 3 player
why are his minutes so low?
Second game of a back to back after the played 39 minute game beforeĀ
So many forced shots by clippers
Becoming a legend in real time. Absolute must watch whenever heās on the floor. Best defender ever and itās not even really close imo. The way he controls the defensive side reminds me of how prime LeBron controlled the game on the offensive side, and that is to say Iāve never seen someone do it better
Damn I thought he had a bad game.
Second Best Center in the league. DPOY. All NBA First team member.
However, he needs to play 65 games this season. If he miss 5 more games, he is disqualified.
āSecond bestā?ā¦
Joker.
not since he came back from injury, he isn’t the same anymore
Why was he crying after lol
Say what you will itās tough to make a 25 point comeback with the limited minutes he was getting haha.Ā
idk but man is it nice to see players this passionateĀ
In the post game interview he talked about how exhausted he was feeling all game after playing big minutes against the Pistons last night. He claimed that he thought he was going to pass out in the first quarter and this was one of the hardest games of his life. All that coupled with the huge comeback, makes sense that he was emotional.
He knows the history around the team and Kawhi. This game meant more to him.
Doubt he was that passionate cuz of the fans hatred for kawhi
He’s surpsingly in touch with the fanbase as a whole and often feeds off their energy. He grew up a Spurs fan. Im fanboying to some extent for sure but it’s not as if he is ignorant to the history there.
I would think he also wanna win it for Chris Paul
He has a borderline psychotic level of competitiveness, that you and I, or any normal person could ever understand. Lol
Dude’s just absurdly competitive and passionate and coming back from down 25 while being totally exhausted can do that
Probably emotional about other shit and this made his day
He was about to pass out. Probably fatigue
Overrated. Shai is better
Great username/post combo
just baiting people to hate on Shai lmao your not slick
lol. This dude was getting real triggered (or baiting) in the game thread. What a loser.
Heās not baiting. He hates the spurs. š
You love floppy things huh? šĀ
I love mvps
Donāt feed the troll bot, folks
Sadly heās not a troll. Heās a Thunder fan š„²
