[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama with the game winner!
Wemby just let the clock run down cause he’s like that
As soon as he didn’t go in the first two seconds I says to myself, I says, “Holy shit this mans is gonna do the damn thing.”
I got nervous because at first it looked like he hesitated and they fucked up the play. Then I realized he was purposely running the clock down.
Deadass aura farming
Isn’t this guy like 22 or something
Wtf might the league look like 5 years from now
Cooked
Truly…he’s putting up MVP statlines on offense while being an automatic level DPOY lock
I pray to every religion Gods that he remains as healthy as LeBron until he retires
Exactly. Pretty much every all time great big man he’s been compared to was in their rookie season at his age. In other words, he’s just getting started…..
If he wins his 1st ring now? Leagues toast. Everyone needs to get theirs now before Wemby starts to put the chokehold on.
As soon as he shows that he can show up at this current level in the Postseason, the league is basically already toast at that point lol
Wemby: fck your good writing we have hype moments and aura
Also completely ignored Barnes wide open in the corner for 3 with about 4 seconds left. Cold blooded.
Barnes ain’t going to hit that
bro that was fox not barnes. mr 4th quarter himself
Fox*
Barnes ain’t that guy.
Wemby to Barnes Fox (probably):
I owe you an apology. I wasn’t really familiar with your game
.
Edi:
What the hell that was Fox not Barnes loool

wtf can you even do there fucking aliens man
he not from france, he from krypton
“No, we come from France…”
Yeah but I heard they speak French on krypton
Mars works better, like in the Expanse. Still human, but freakishly tall and technically alien.
There’s not an NBA player in history who has an answer for Wemby when his shot is falling like tonight.
AND he’s already one of the 5 best defenders we’ve ever seen (realistically probably top 2).
They gave Tim Duncan’s fundamentals to Manute Bol lite. This dude is gonna be a problem!
Ser Wemby the Visitor
Makeup for that egregious travel lmfao
5 fucking steps! Couldn’t believe that shit
Modern NBA
egregious travel
Thats a fucking vacation not a travel
Green traveling back to Phoenix with a fat L
Ball don’t lie
The league is in such a great place
Incredible performances tonight by Wemby and Luka
The talent pool right now is insane, and we’re getting new superstars every season.
The amount of insane young talent we have is crazy, and this next draft class promises to have some special players as well
If the nba can just clean up the rules a bit we should have a basketball golden age
ive seen enough mvp+dpoy
He really should be in the MVP discussion more
He should probably be the MVP full stop. Averaging 25ppg, is the DPOY, similar team record and games played with SGA.
I feel like next year is gonna be the first of his MVP years. I cannot believe how much this dude has progressed already. I feel like he’s a year or more ahead of expectations right now.
Bro just adds more and more to his game every year. First year was dribbling, last year was three-point shooting, this year its post work and finishing with physicality, next year will probably be passing.
He’s ranked 2nd. Lakers fans just want Luka above him because he decided to start playing well after the Spurs locked up the 2nd seed
I mean he’s averaging 33/8/9 on a 3 seed, it’s not that absurd
Lets not use “they are only 1 seed behind” to create a close narrative between the two.
The difference between the 2nd seed and 3rd seed is 7.5 games. That’s more than the 3rd vs 7th in the west lmao
My point is that anyone with those splits on a good team will be an MVP contender. I know the Spurs are better than the Lakers
Yes, but he shouldn’t be above Wemby just because of an eight-game heater. He had all season to produce a better résumé, and he did not.
Spurs have won 20 of their last 21 games with Wemby in the lineup, and he leads the league in On/Off last I checked. Certified MVP production
? Its not the Luka fans… Most “analysts” still can’t admit Wemby has leaped to #2 in the mvp discussion…. You can’t blame Luka fans for singing his praise when he’s been going off (even more than he usually does) the last few weeks. Lowe literally didn’t have luka in 1st team all nba…
The kid’s already making history and we’re not even halfway through his rookie season.
I have no idea how Spurs won this game
Me neither!
They scored more points
Proof?
Do you have a peer-reviewed research on this?
Big if true
Possibly big if true
It’s quite a bold way to play basketball but it usually pays off
We’re finding ways to win games when we play like super ass. Honestly has me pumped that we’re legit. Great teams find ways to win when they’re off their game
Honestly, I accepted tonight was gonna be an L by halftime, but then in the last 10 minutes the switch flipped. Guess they decised to quit fucking around, because the Spurs looked all kinds of discombobulated.
And then all capped off by that??? Holy fuck man.
Yeah they were looking ROUGH for 3.5 quarters
Me neither. We played like ass but somehow never let the Suns get too ahead.
every time wemby sat the suns went on a run, that’s the only reason the spurs were even down in the first place
We win comfortably if we didn’t miss like 10 layups
Same
“They wanted it more.”
What happened to D Book at the end there? Looked like he got tagged by a sniper.
Flopping because he knows its not going in
Glad to see y’all recognize that. Announcer was like “there may have been some foot contact there by Fox”, who was like 2-3 away from him lol.
Booker is a guy who could have a better chance at hitting a crazy shot like that, though. I was a bit confused
I don’t get it. He is bigger than his defender. He can definitely hoist a hail mary there and he is definitely capable of hitting those.
When Booker plays bad or is losing he gets into his feelings and does stupid shit like flop and so on. It’s shit because he’s better than that but oh well
The Booker special
just doing what he was doing all game long
somebody needs to throw that fish back in the ocean
he did, robert horry’s up in the rafters with a gun
For a second I thought it was some awful non-contact injury.
Yep. Wemby ordered it from his mother ship.
This dude is a more mobile Rudy Gobert on defense and can score 30+ points and hit clutch midranges off the dribble in the clutch. Good luck, league does not have a lot of time before it’s his to run.
And he’s 22
It’s insane
He clinched the Spurs in the playoffs with this one, let’s see how far they can take it this year!
He’s already doing things at 20 that most big men never figure out in their entire careers. The league is absolutely not ready.
The Alien!!!!!
It’s crazy how even Lakers fans seem to love him. Surreal. A bright spot in a dark-ass timeline.
I love spurs basketball. I love Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Leonard. Fuck the Celtics!
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and who?
We all love ball! Fuck the Celtics!
We had no business winning this game, he willed that dub into existence
The superstar difference. He showed up when we needed it. He is our X factor
Crazy how the refs were calling that game I thought it was over. Those mfs let Green take 5 steps…
Man was playing on a different planet tonight, just refused to let us lose.
#THAT’S THE FUCKING MVP I DON’T GIVE A FUCK
Let’s just say my baguette won’t be soft tonight
BAGUETTE BAGUETTE UN PETIT DU FROMAGE
UNSTOPPABLE
WeMVP this man
WEMVP
MVP
Best player in the world.
all ya had to do was make your free throws, Suns!
Big rookie moment there unfortunately
Really good awareness from Wemby to foul the rookie immediately.
Whole team actually did great on that play if you go back, we intentionally left the rookie with all space so he was the only option
I’m not familiar with that rookie but is there an explanation as to why he was in the game when the Spurs were going to intentionally foul?
From both the player and the coach who had him out there at that moment.
man huge blunder by ott
I don’t want to see the suns in the playoffs mom 😭
Shouldn’t have been in there. 57% ft shooter 😭
HES HIM
WeMVP
Booker ghost flopping lol
He’s that dude
He’s him
First time seeing him do that.
First of many I’m sure.
Bro waited til the last second to shoot it being down 1, the balls on this guy.
Won’t be many clutch games in the future
Looked good from his hand too, crazy.
There’s nothing you can do there. People used to say that about KD, and it rings even truer for Wemby.
The play Mitch drew up was “Hey Victor just go take their goddamn soul”
le clutch gene
such a poor game feel awful for Rasheer Fleming was put in an awful position making clutch FTs but the Suns shouldn’t have had the ball anyway after an atrocious missed travel
Ball don’t lie though, Wemby is crazyyy
Edit: the uncalled Travel vid is shared here
Wasn’t there a despite the lose post lol
Got deleted real quick
ALIEN
BUILT FOR THE LIMELIGHT
he might be the goat
That’s insane that they didn’t send a double ASAP.
What’s that gonna do against him shooting the fade?
I now recognize you from the HEB subreddit, the PS5 subreddit, and the NBA subreddit. I swear I am not following you lmao.
I thought Booker played it smart guarding the lob. If it was anyone it would be Goodwin, I think he thought he was going to bait Wemby into the pass.
Ott talked about it post game. They were weary of both Wemby and Fox. Goodwin was on his way over to double, but Wemby made the smart play and drove the other way.
Spurs also did a good job of stationing a strong shooter in Vassell in the strong side corner so that the Suns couldn’t help off him. Fox said that he’d asked Wemby during the timeout if he wanted an empty side to work, or have a shooter in the corner, and he wanted the latter.
Down 1. Ran the clock out. GAME WINNER.
WEMB-V-P!
7’4 out here looking like MJ with the 1 dribble mid range fade..
Love how booker tried to flop on that half court heave and just looked stupid.
He stepped on Fox’s foot and rolled his ankle.
Booker just straight up disappeared
Why are they giving him so much space
Bc if he gets half a step on you he can dunk from 100 feet away
Any foul and its over too pretty sure
DPOY
There was a similar play last year against the magic and he bricked that shit.
Glad he made it this time
Victor Wembanyama
What the hell was Booker doing on that heave?
“Despite the loss” someone said
He saw what Luka was doing
Ball don’t fucking lie. MVP THIS MAN.
Ott disasterclass. Leaving a rookie shooting 57% on FTs in the game and not doubling wemby as soon as he got the ball.
Did booker pull up lame? He ok? Serious question.
Couldn’t tell if he got hurt or was flopping for a foul
Thats my GOAT! Nothing you can do tbh.
Can someone tell me how you’re supposed to stop a guy who can sort of just decide he wants to run a play like he’s prime Melo but from a foot taller?
Outscore him on the other end. Which is admittedly difficult because he’s also the game’s best defender
I love this man so much
My underwear are ruined
That was a missed shot away from getting absolutely clowned for having a last possession which was literally stand still for 6 seconds then shoot the ball
he said the purpose was to get a second chance in case of a miss but in case of a made, suns couldn’t have time to make a good play
AHHHH SPURS WIN SPURS WIN
Holding the ball that long was such an aura farm lol
I for one welcome our new alien overlords. I can be of great use as an overseer in the alien strip mines.
Mambanyama Mentality
is that his first career game winner? or does the dunk vs the clippers count since it was under 24 seconds
He had a game winning g3 against the Bulls this season although If Roger if the game technically ended after the shot.
He’s had a number even this season. Bulls, Celtics, Timberwolves games off the top of my head.
I remember he had one against the Bulls when he put Vucevic in skates and hit a 3.
He’s had many game winners, no buzzer beaters as of yet though
It feels like he didnt know what he wanted to do with it and didnt get an awesome shot off but hes so good it didnt really matter
I also think he’s reading the help covering his potential drives too.
HIMbanyama
Wemby is one cold-blooded motherfucker
Wait…. Is booker okay?? That shot looked awkward at the end
Great shot but no idea why teams settle for such difficult shots. We put such an emphasis on analytics and smart basketball and then end of game it’s just iso fadeaway every time lol
Booker was so sad they lost he collapsed right then and there, heartbreaking
Also Booker is a fucking bitch. Just play basketball no need to SGA Lite.
LMAO that bum ass attempt at a foul bait from Booker
he is CRACKED
get this hacked MyPlayer off the court bro, this is cheating
Himbenyama
Kobe-esque
EXCUSE ME REF THERES AN ALIEN ON THE COURT! CAN MY DOG BUD PLAY?
what do you even do as the guy guarding him, like genuinely. hes getting whatever shot he wants up and there is like 2 guys in this league capable of slowing that down.
hes absurd
The game-winning shot
Welcome back to the playoffs Spurs. Now take it easy on your core guys, restrict their minutes.
And he only gets taller by the next time you have to guard him
So what happened to Booker on that last shot?
He probably yelled “Adebayo!”
Victor “Slim Reaper” Wembanayama
The audacity to shoot that when Fox was wide open in the corner. Dude is nuts! The backlash would’ve been crazy had he missed that shot.
Shot looked like it was magnetically pulled into the goal 🧐
He makes me smile man
If those chopstick legs hold up he’s winning chips
Unbelievable
Does he really needs to create extra space with the drive ? Wouldn’t it be enough just jumping up? I don’t think they can block him
