I caught a little flak saying that Wemby was already an all timer on that end (ignore the flair), but there is nothing that can convince me otherwise.

and, as you said, there are so many areas in which he can (and will) improve, yet he’s already an MVP candidate - lowkey want to see him work on teams like Hakeem did in his runner-up year.

I giggle a bit everytime I see a block from him, theres something totally preposterous about it.

We are gonna see some fucking bullshit when the chains come off in the playoffs and Wembanyama is playing 35+ minutes.

I’m assuming it would have been Wilt but it was before the blocks were being recorded.

nah with todays nba its impossible.

I wonder how many possessions total were in Bol’s 31 block college game lol.

I think Shaq’s block numbers kind of overstate his defense. He kind of just camped out in the paint and was a little overeager to swat shots.

You said as recently as a few months ago that Chet is a better defender than Wemby LOLOLOLOLOL

hey garbage is back. how’s it goin buddy

Hey - aren’t you the guy that wants Dort to break opposing players legs?

Neither did Shai, he notoriously sat out of 4th quarters

Gonna lose in 5 to Wemby in the playoffs

Oh look, the useless turd who wanted Wemby’s legs broken is back

Condolences on another day that Wemby doesn’t break his legs

It’s still going to be really tough, I wouldn’t say it feels like an inevitabilty. Because getting 10 blocks is already super hard and to his credit, a lot of players will be scared to go against him to allow him the opportunity. And then the assist or steal part of the equation. 10 steals alongside 10 blocks seems impossible. But for Wemby, 10 assists is also not a common occurence, his career high is 11 assists and he has 3 games above 10 assists. He got 2 games where he had 10 blocks both in 24 when people weren’t as afraid to go against him.

Everything has to go right and he has to statpad like crazy to get there

Wemby has two 5x5s iirc

On top of people not shooting around him, I feel like he’s going for fewer blocks lately and focusing more on boxing out, especially when it’s a long floater or a midrange jumper since those are bad shots anyways. It’s probably better fundamental defense overall, but the block numbers take a hit

The spirit of JJJ was still in the building

Honestly I respect them, it takes a lot of balls to try that when Wemby is on the court.

Hopefully it happens but lebron was in a far far far worse conference where multiple sub 500 teams made round 2 in the east. Put 2007 cavs in the west and they don’t get out of round 1.

He deserves it. But honestly you’re such a little bitch that I would love to see him lose it. Just for the hilarious meltdown you would have all over this sub.

He is becoming very trusting of his teammates. Always a good sign

I remember when rookie Wemby would get frozen out

And Wemby will be like “eff it, I gotta play 40 minutes”

The resulting stat sheet will be unbelievable.

Absolutely, and he is so versatile. I think his gravity on offense is super important for winning basketball… that being said, I still think that most of the holes in his game are on the offensive end. However, even with the offensive inconsistency, I believe he should win MVP.

Only because teams dont try him. Shits gonna get real interesting in the play-offs when Spurs start figuring opponents over the course of a series and forcing players to take him on. And be devoured.

Serious question though, wemby has like 20-25% less minutes played than Sga Jokic and Luka. They all got over 2,000 minutes wemby is at 1700~ if he’s playing so much less then that means he’s not as important to the team. Like it feels he’s barely playing to meet the criteria for awards.

Can’t wait for the Spurs to win the finals and not visit the white house in the next 3 years.

Yeah, regular season MVP 2025, FMVP 2025. That’s it.

I thought it’d be obvious too but alas
