Victor Wembanyama: “I had to resort to some things that Hakeem taught me, in this 4th quarter… Especially that spin fadeaway over Rudy.”
Top 10 anime betrayals for Rockets fans
He worked with Sengun, too. Unfortunately, he can’t teach Sengun how to be a good defender
Or a good post player…
or a good finisher…
Or a good elbow-er…..oh wait, he’s got that part down.
or good
THE TRUTH! dude is soooo mid
Unfortunately, he can’t teach Sengun shit
He has physical attributes Sengun doesn’t have. A brain.
I’m dead
And probably not 5 to 10…
Rockets fans generally like the Spurs, they are a classy org and we’re happy to see Wemby play like Hakeem. Dude deserves this.
Don’t get me started on the Mavericks (minus Dirk, nobody has issues with Dirk).
I had to resort to
Dude talks like he’s keeping it as a secret weapon for the nba finals 😭
Forgive me Hakeem, but I’ll have to go all out
OLAJUWOYUKEN
Underrated comment. This guy knows his anime.
… just this once 😂
We’re all fucked when he pulls out what KG taught him
We all know KG taught him how to cuss like a dawg lol
Slurs?
That’s when hes busting out the Space Jam half court dunk
Might sound corny but I think the spurs have been legit saving strats this season
In one of the games they were down against Portland, they went to the same Castle-Wemby lob action like 5 possessions in a row and scored every time. They for sure have some things in their bag they don’t want teams to get too much practice against.
I think Portland’s defense was just shit, I don’t think a Castle/Wemby lob is a secret weapon lol. It’s probably the #1 thing the Wolves are trying to stop with their defense.
It’s called the French Finals
The Clermont Ferrand Steamer.
Dude hiding his final form like Goku hiding SSJ3 in the Buu Arc
dude is talking like an anime protag who is fighting the middle of the season boss
I mean, if there’s one human being on this planet who can say with a straight face to a camera: “yeah, I’ve always been taller than everyone, people thought it was gonna be a curse…no…it’s my superpower. With the power of friendship, my old sensei who have seen it all and the senpais before me, I will be the greatest pokem saiye basketball player of all-time (anime theme song starting in the distance) because I’m free in this universe.” it’s definitely this tall-ass dude.
He even got training arc summers lmao
Wemby’s part of the 11th Division
I bet mid game he had a flashback of his summer sessions with Hakeem telling him to save this move until you really need it because the NBA and the world wasn’t ready for it. With a single tear Wemby closed his eyes and let the dream state take over. He has reborn, ready to bring back ethical basketball again.
Rock lee using the 8 gates lol
nah, the secret weapon for the finals is whatever ungodly trashtalk KG taught him, you’ll know it when he starts yelling “LAWD” just before the toss-up
Hakeem: “Don’t say I never did anything nice for the Spurs.”
Thank you
Him and Spurs legend Tracy McGrady
the shot:https://streamable.com/qosy0l
I think its its interesting seeing this kind of broken down. It looks like wemby spins but keeps his arms stopping rudy from bringing his hands up, then he cuts his momentum for the stepback which sends rudys momentum away from the shot and to the right of the screen.
I wish I could hear hakeem talk about it.
I don’t see how it could have been defended any better. Holy hell
also have an 8 foot wingspan
This shit is undefendable
The whirling dervish!
Rudy’s gotta be having the worst playoffs matchups anybody has had in the last 20-25 years lol. Guarding the joker then an alien the following round must be so brutal.
Same for Jokic if the Nuggets won lol
to be fair, yes Joking was indeed getting cooked, but Rudy was his direct matchup and it’s not like Rudy is Kevin McHale on offense. Rudy on the other hand is having his hands full
Then Ayton for next round then KAT in the finals.
I see what you did there.
Dude that was deadass one of the best post-moves I’ve seen all season
That’s dead ass a 7 footer doing a post fadeaway like he’s Kobe. At 7”6.
Makes me glad the Raptors are in the east because what the bloody fuck. N
What was the call on the broadcast? “Nah… nope…” I mean people throw around “unguardable”. There is literally nothing you can do on that shot. The release/arc are too high to do anything about it. If he can hit that consistently the league is actually just fucked.
Jamal Crawford said Wemby has an incredible ability to “download” and execute complex footwork and skills in 5 minutes. This was Wemby just going through previously downloaded files
All respect to Shawn Marion but we might have to start calling him the Matrix if this continues
He knows kung fu
He does bicycle kicks in random pickup soccer games across the world. I think he can do pretty much anything, except like small people sports. Like gymnastics, I think he’d be pretty bad at gymnastics.
And now I’m thinking of a 7’4” superhuman doing all kinds of flips and shit,
If Wemby tried the high bar, would it just be the bar?
Well, he is The One after all
New anime: Prince of Basketball
He called Shaq at the beginning of the year and all Shaq told him was what to eat to shit in his teammates stuff.
“yeah just constantly fuck with them. Humiliate them, shit in their shoes, their locker, their car, anywhere you can big man. That’s how I got so many rangs”
I just love that a legend like Hakeem still contributes to the game man
At the Spurs Finals celebration, we’re going to see the force ghosts of Hakeem and KG alongside a group of monks appear in the background.
Once again, Hakeem is still very much alive
Hakeem’s dream shaking in his grave right now.
The hell lol? So is KG.
Wemby definitely wasn’t calling up Gobert for offensive tips
Gobert looked pretty good on offense today though
Got me shook for a while, if he stops being a bum on offense it’s over
lets be real, his buckets are when defenses don’t care about him and are helping on somebody else. gameplan relying on feeding Gobert is a losing gameplan
Problem is, defenses havent cared about him for years and he still struggles to catch a ball. I. Utah, no one knew how to do an entry pass, so ill cut him some slack. But at this point, he has to be able to get some easy dunks w his size
If wemby could absorb another players talent Rubio/Nash/Jokic passing would really help. I wanna see him get more assists.
Kyrie 😤
Thank you Dream, very cool
Literally yelled Hakeem to My gf when I saw that spin fadeaway. Shes still unsure what a Hakeem is though
Hey Hakeem can you not though?
Toronto Raptors legend
Hakeem the Dream! Love that his spin is still alive and referenced!
I remember when Dwight did that Hakeem session and then proceeded to use nothing that he was taught.
Yeah!!! I have saw that move… and imagine a 7”4 (or 7”5 to 7”6 -whatever his real height is) can do that move…
i think it’s funny how hakeem is treated as this big guru/sensei of post moves. well i know why but it’s basically only footwork and ball handling. it’s not rocket science. he can’t know something that all the other basketball trainers in the world don’t know or can he? 😅😅
I mean he’s young so he’s agile rn but I’ll be real, I don’t like when he spins. Its hype when it works but I don’t trust the floor not to concuss him again or worse. I mean he’s 7 fucking feet up. That shit is going to hurt like a mf every time, even if he catches himself.
This was a spin away from the basket and a lot more controlled. That one that caused the concussion was a spin towards the basket and was way out of control. I think he’ll learn from it, he adapts quickly.
And he don’t spin no more against guards size like he did with Jrue Holiday. He’s doing it more consciously now against taller and bigger defenders.
