[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama recovers the ball and banks in the shot - 41 points.
Two straight games with 41 points for Wemby.
41⁄18 with 3 blocks in less than 30min of playing time.
Meh. If he wants the MVP, he should try putting up those stats in 40 minutes.
Mitch Johnson is saving the league from a demon
If Wemby played 36+ minutes he’d be averaging an easy 30 nightly
Actually, yes. Per 36 he’d be at 30 points, 14 boards, 4 assists. For context, Ant averages 29.5 points in 35.5 minutes (last I checked). So basically Ant’s production with more than double the boards.
People act like he isn’t a top 5~10 offensive player in the league, which must be cope at this point. They want to believe that he isn’t at this level because they know he’s only going to get better. Can’t really blame those people.
The only undisputed better offensive players are Jokic, SGA, and Luka. For now.
On 80% true shooting
According to some:
29 minutes and Wemby is not playing enough minutes for MVP.
30+ minutes and Wemby is stat padding.
It’s hilarious lol.
Not really hard to do when the majority of his points come from the paint and alley oops lol
This is literally like watching a dad play with his kids on a Little Tikes hoop 😭😭
Look at GS coaches lol. “Good job you’re doin everything you can”
This is probably what playing Wilt felt like in the 60s.
Spencer rocks the mustache to look the part too
I’m just waiting for Wemby to play the bad guy in the next Fast and Furious movie, only to reveal he’s the cousin of Jesse, the guy drove a jetta in the first movie, and he eventually is a good guy a few movies later. At one point it’s 3 on 1 when Wemby takes on the Rock, Statham, Vin Diesel, in a fight. Then Kurt Russell in a 1 v 1 game like Escape from LA.
Bro who are these players on the warriors lol
This is their end of the bench. Theyre having a season from hell with all the injuries
Someone with an injured wrist had to play and shot left handed tonight
Wait really?
Yup. Malevy Leons. Has a wrist sprain, but had to play and take free-throws lefty. If they get one more injury, Kerr is gonna have to suit up again.
They wish it was the end of their bench it’s like 80% Santa Cruz Warriors 😭
Theyre having a season from hell with all the injuries
Didn’t they come into the season with like the oldest starting lineup in NBA history. They are like one of the NBA All Star Legend teams from the late 80s, early 90s.
I remember before the season started people on twitter were saying the only thing stopping the warriors from a playoff spot were their knees. Uhmmm….
Butler DNP exploded knee
Curry DNP exploding knee
Porzingus DNP space aids
Moody DNP exploded knee
Horford DNP Old
Payton DNP exploding knee
Its just wraps man
I thought that was the Clippers
They have 9 guys on the active roster. Only 3 of them were drafted.
Thats genuinely insane. Multiple top 5 picks vs undrafted. Nuclear bomb vs coughing baby
Hey now, Champagnie is undrafted too
Shades of our 2020 team. Team is built around still really good but old players that are going to get injured, and this is the result.
Wemby destroying the paint this game
Got Draymond in foul trouble, and the rest is history
Wemby is actually wilt if you let him shoot every shot for 48 minutes he would break his records lmao
Watching Wemby gives me hope we might one day see Bam Adebayo’s record beaten.
Man I wish we could offer this guy a 20 year super duper max contract.
That would dumb af with his injury history already lol
Wemby has eight 40 point games already on his career.
Duncan only had five.
Yeah, cause there were numerous playoff games when Duncan played where 85 points got you a fairly straightforward win.
Think he also had 4 40-point games in the playoffs too
Tbf Timmy’s prime literally coincided with the dead ball era. He wasn’t a high volume guy in the reg season either.
He was pretty good though. His 25.5 peak scoring was 5th that year. But as soon as Tony and Manu got good, he didn’t care to force his scoring when they didn’t need it.
Duncan also has 5 rings and Wemby has zero
Not bad for someone considered raw offensively
I mean most of his points come from inside the paint and alley oops
“He’s bill Russell on one end and Kevin Durant on the other end. It’s the same guy”
The warriors are so tiny compared to him bro. Theyre playing a 6’6 center against an alien.
Warriors are starting 6 undrafted players this game.
That shows how confident the Spurs were. They only started 5 players this game.
Playing.
Yea…no big center to help with wemby. Just a season from hell for you guys. Theyre playing multiple young top 5 picks vs undrafted players. Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
I miss seeing Steph play, dude.
Yea that’s why this game wasn’t really that impressive
the warriors cannot stop him bruh
are we 100% Wembanyama and Luka are not in the MVP race? are we really shure about that? is what we’re seeing from both really that worthless? like i can not for the life of me look at shit like this and go “Ah but see adding luka and wemby is just stirring the pot, sga already has it”, like shit like this isnt normal dude dropped 41 with 3 blocks on less than 30 mins this is insanity!!!!
Wemby is definitely in the conversation and I honestly think he is going to win with how much the media glazes over him. I mean shit last night the commentators talked only about Wemby 90 percent of the night and forgot he has a stacked team. The only one that talked about how good the rest of the team is is Mike Malone
Not meant to hate but it’s a little weird how he’s vaulting up the MVP odds by beating some of the worst rosters in the league. They haven’t played a healthy playoff team in almost a month and the last decent team they played, they lost.
SGA, Luka and Jokic are all doing the same thing and every time one of them goes off, all the comments are about how they’re the only one doing it.
they lost without Wemby. How hypocritical of you to count that one 😂
lakers beat wizards, pacers, and bulls. Why should Luka be MVP?
Dude did you watch? Wemby carried. The spurs were slipping and they had to let Wemby in to stop the bleeding.
I never said he didn’t carry last night
Well you said the commentators only talked about him. It’s cause the other players sucked
So many no-calls that leave points on the table
Do they not have a g league?
9 players only?
They played 6 undrafted guys tonight.
That’s just unfair lmao
This is the type of stats he should put up against g league players…
The NBA is not ready for a 45MPG Wemby.
This game reminded me of one of those middle school basketball videos where there’s one kid who is like 6’10 as a 13 year old just catch and receive the baskteball over a bunch of 5’8ers at best and just casually makes layups
I refuse to be impressed by anything this guy does. He’s basically the tallest player ever, while also playing PG for much of his life. Anything he does should be expected at this point imo
Warriors with a 4 guard lineup and an average heigh of 6’3 for their starting five
And OKC barely beat hospital pistons 😂
Check the injury report.
Oh yeah it wasn’t a dig at the warriors. Its more of a “hey he’s obviously going to feast”
