[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama banks in the fadeaway jumper to give him back-to-back 40+ point games. In 29 minutes, Wembanyama gets 41 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 blocks against the Warriors.
In the first half, Victor Wembanyama became the first Spurs player to record 25+ PTS and 10+ REB in a half during the play-by-play era (1997-98)
Setting any big man mark for the spurs is elite elite stuff
Actually incredible that David Robinson never did that.
Play-by-play era. That basically cuts off the first 2/3rds of Robinson’s career, which include his prime.
Ah. That makes more sense.
It’s actually crazy that people never though to track a player’s stats by the quarter/half until 50 years in.
Is that good u/nba?
Not if you want the MVP. You gotta be getting 25 FTA for that.
Don’t forget 30 minutes too
29 is so much less than 30, you’re right. Like a whole minute. About as long as you last in bed I bet.
arent those kind of thoughts illegal in oklahoma
Pre marital gooning is a big no no down there
You mean thoughts in general?
is a freethrow a thought
MVP? Dont make me laugh. Call me when he can make a shot after taking a fake elbow to the face.
Let it go, man. Dont fall to the level of a luka stan.
The warriors are literally in tank mode. Their 5 most played players were LJ Cryer, Nate Williams, Malevy Leons, Yurtseven, and Pat Spencer lmao
Always an excuse 😂, never see that bs narrative in a big Shai/Luka game against bad teams. You’re right though Wemby and the spurs have only dominated crappy teams, everyone take our word for it please and don’t look up their track record vs other elite teams.
They brag Luka dropped 40 on the magic 😂
He hasn’t dropped 40 on the magic but I guess me assuming you actually watched the games is dumb.
You’re right. It’s the pacers 🤭
He’s done it 16 times this season? How are these comments this moronic
lol Lakers fan were laughing at the spurs for beating bulls and pacers. Yet when it’s Luka, its mvp and GOAT 🤭
I don’t care what Lakers or Pacers fans were arguing about. Your comment was nonsensical and moronic.
Of course a Thunder fan will say that 😂
[removed]
Nice try Shai. You always hate on the spurs/wemby. Seek help 😂
Damn look at the low IQ in the works, just insisting I’m a Shai fan to make yourself feel better lmao. This is like calling a tall person short and praying they’re actually short and that it hurts their feelings. Such low IQ.
Okay Shai 😂
Embarrassingly low IQ. Do you also call random ppl online fat and hope they happen to be fat and that it offends them? Just throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks.
Okay Shai
We played Dieng/Nance/Sims/Ryan/Green a lot tonight and only lost by 6 at Houston. We’re supposedly the biggest tankers out there too!
Wemby couldn’t even play 30 minutes either
Yo u/nba if the Bucks trade Giannis can you help them out a bit in the lottery like you did for Dallas?
u/nba u think podz can score 30
41 pts in minutes 29 minutes talk about unfair
Eh, not an offensive problem at all, hes just defense /s
If only he got this exact statline but in a less-efficient 39 minutes 😞
29 minutes? That’s a sixth man type of number
Too bad KJ locked that up already 😭 wemby only gets DPOY
Forget this years MVP talk nonsense. Bigger picture is this dude is going to go on a never before seen run if he stays healthy. Fingers crossed.
It’s kind of like the Shaq era - if you want to win a championship you need to have an answer to slow down Wemby.
The only answer to the equation is to have another alien 👽
Which seems doubtful
On both ends
Both in the MVP convo and otherwise the BIG question is going to be health and minutes. I’m glad they’re playing him low minutes because it’s better for the long term, but if you told me he was injured to the point of being out of the league in the next 5-8 years I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m really down for him to be an all time great, but I’ve seen enough hyped big men go down to injuries to be ready to jump in head first on him as the future of the league. I am very curious to see how he holds up through a potentially full playoffs run.
We are so fucked. The only hope is his teammates and coach just choke
Damn this dude might be an MVP candidate if he just played 30 minutes.
He’s just tall.
He’s just good on defense because he is tall. - best one Ive read.
Bol Bol could do better
And you’re just ragebaiting 🤷♂️
And you can’t tell sarcasm
“Talentless” lol. Never change OKC fans.
Don’t fall for the trolls. No sane person would call him talentless
You’re fighting ghosts lmao
You clearly haven’t interacted with many OKC fans
They are good for wemby tho he’s been excellent
[deleted]
I’m having a whole Michael Jordan reaction to it to be honest lol
They wish they had a “talentless” player like that on their team 😂
Their stickman is shit compared to wemby
If he’s so good why doesn’t he shoot more free throws?
The idea of Wembanyama is better than the player
Haters who like to pick on his scoring… are real quiet now 😂
I’ve been saying as he develops his go to unstoppable move is gonna be low block turn around bank shots. No one is gonna be able to guard it
I don’t think anyone is able to guard him anyways
Would have been free throws for SGA unironically
The warriors have the worst team without Steph lol
That’s not true the wizards are pretty bad without steph
They have seth “great value” curry
Thats the MVP. Most impactful player by a mile, unless defense doesn’t matter.
He would have easily had 50 if the refs called even half of the fouls the Warriors committed on him.
Not quite sure why Castle closed.
Good stats, GSW didn’t play a center either so he really should have dominated either way.
What you gonna do with that lmao
Okay but he was basically playing against a g-league team, and one of the g-leaguers had a injured wrist
NBA is in good hands! So blessed to witness Luka, Wemby, Shai, Jokic.
What’s honestly crazy is he doesn’t even look that smooth yet but he seems to always hit these. This dude is a monster now but what is he gonna be in 5 years?! This is like Pokémon stage 1
And we wonder why teams openly tank…..
82 points over 2 games with only 12 FTA’s is crazy
1 of 1
Possibly the most appropriate jersey number for that dude.
Should give MVP to someone other than Wemby if only for the reason that he’s winning every one of those for the next 7 starting next season
He’s lucky curry wasn’t playing
Yes I’m sure Wemby is scared of 40 year old Steph
I think we would’ve won anyway but every player is still afraid of Steph. And he went nuclear and beat us at home the both times he played us
Man I wish Spurs had an elite shooter like Steph or KD
Why is this game nationally televised on ESPN again?
Hilarious coming from a Lakers flair
And? Spurs are playing a team missing both their star players and roleplayers, why is this game being televised on ESPN rather than the OKC and Lakers game tomorrow
And Lakers played the wizards. Your point?
And just last year the Lakers had a game added to the national schedule after Luka got traded there and Luka didn’t even play that game! (I think it was vs the Jazz)
Do you think they scheduled it last week? They wanted Steph vs. Wemby nationally televised big fuckin whoop
People tune in for winning teams and star power , it’s obvious. Vic chasing an MVP is no different than when LeBron was in his prime and the Lakers were constantly in the spotlight.
I remember a few years ago when the Lakers were the 9 seed and they were still on national tv almost every week
Jesus we got spurs fans comparing Wemby to prime Lebron now in silly season against tanking teams
I don’t think Jesus cares
wow people like you really exists
The people need to witness greatness
Because the future GOAT is playing duhhh
