Maxey and Wemby playing 1v1 back in 2022. Wemby insisted on only playing defense and Maxey wanted to practice going up against an incredibly tall and mobile defender.
Now this is how you get better
I love the black holes album đź‘Ť
I’m eagerly waiting for the blue stones to be in my area
It’s like watching myself playing against a normal basketball player. Wemby is a freak.
except maxey actually made one
It’s also how effortless Maxey made these tough baskets look. Always love seeing these reminders just how many tiers these guys are above the average person
Some people think guys like scalabrine and Perkins are actually bad
I would like to see maxey and wemby play 1v1 in the NBA finals
First to 21, 1s and 2s. For all the marbles.
NBA should turn overtime into like a soccer shootout, choose 5 players to go 1v1
Starters for each team run knockout
I’m a Sixers and Embiid hater just like every other redblooded American, but it truly would be remarkable if Joel could stay healthy and they made it to the finals as a 7 seed. Would be interesting if they could make it a series against the likes of San Anton or OKC.
How can you be American and hate the 76ers. That’s like the most American team
> redblooded American
> roots against a team named for the founding of America
Mother fuck America. And it’s my god given right as an American to say that. God Damn America.
Just teenager Wemby giving an NBA sophmore/junior fits. Wild.
And Maxey was already starting by this point! Although the age gap is pretty small, only three years, and Wemby was already playing pro ball in France.
Three years is huge at that age though.
Sure. Just honing in a little though, “teenager vs NBA sophomore/junior” could be as wide a gap as 13 year old against a 24 year old, but it’s actually 19 vs 22. He’s definitely showcasing some of the length, agility, and defensive skills that were already making him a force though.
This is the content we like
Maxey talking about this is hilarious. He mentions vic getting a block Maxey didnt expect and his face is priceless
Finals matchup plz
Embiid vs Wemby would be sick. I just wish it happened before Embiid’s most recent knee issues but would be a clash of giant skilled bigs who are very different builds and skills
Insane how much wemby has beefed upped
& he probably only 1⁄2 way to his final form!
Hide Android 17 & 18!!
He wants to train with rugby players in his offseason. He will build some solid muscle in his legs and ass and it’s going to be scary.
Is it any wonder they’re both superstar-level?
Forgot how stringy Wemby was a few years ago
Two of the most likable players in the league imo
Wemby looked like he was just chilling
Imagine wemby and maxey on a team together. Instantly a fan
Would be one of the most likable teams of all time
Maxey is legit my favorite player to watch.
Up there for me too, he’s so quick and fluid at the same time he makes NBA players look goofy
This is going to be the finals matchup
Was there a carry in that last move by Maxey? Genuinely asking, per the rules, should that be called?
Now in 2026 Wemby has (somehow) significantly improved his defense. Imagine how freaky it must be for people to try and score on him
They’re gonna play this clip if they face each other in the finals
Wemby only looks like 6’11” here too.

Thinking back on that quote is crazy now bc Iverson would also never load manage like today’s players. He even said as much recently. Got shit on for practice when now all the stars sit out games.
Practice?
Not a game, not a game
How the hell am I supposed to make my teammates better by practicing?
He was dealing with the murder of his best friend and just meant he wanted his play on the court to speak for itself and troglodytes like you are still bringing this shit up like a gotcha 25 years later
