[Highlight] Wemby’s Aura causes SGA to miss a point-blank floater as he then proceeds to grab the board over SGA and laugh in his face
Wemby has been like this all night. Steps up, they proceed to miss. His presence alone is huge.
Wemby-vision must be a real thing, like tunnel-vision except it’s an ever increasing Wemby closing in on your vision.
I’m like 99% sure the average individual would experience vertigo looking up at Wemby in a close setting. Dude would be claustrophobic in an elevator. Can he even fit in an elevator?
OKC about to forfeit game 2 due to all players being out with neck pain.
Thought you were going with stuck in an elevator
Dude is literally taller than the minimum legal ceiling height in his own country.
HEB had life sized cut outs in stores a few years ago showing how many pints of ice cream tall Wemby is and it is indeed difficult to look up at him as a short person (I’m 5’4”)
It’s like fighting the fire giant in Elden Ring
Now imagine Fire Giant with Godrick agility
I think I got that feeling the first time I stood and looked up in front of a skyscraper
Sideline reporters visibly struggle to hold the microphone high enough for him.
I’m pretty sure dude just goes through a second story window when convenient
This is why Jaden McDaniel said to pretend he’s not there
“Wemby in mirror is MUCH closer than it appears”
Chet is getting outclassed
I continue to find it annoying how we’re pushing this rivalry like it even makes sense
Yeah they’re both tall but Wemby got first place MVP votes this year, it’d be embarrassing if Wemby did anything but outclass him
It’s not us it’s literally only wemby keeping ts going 😭
To be fair when they kept planning to chet on the bench I saw hate in that man’s eyes.
It’s a good thing he doesn’t read, so the social media comments won’t affect him
Hey that’s not true he reads the back of cereal boxes he just doesn’t understand all the words
Goes back to when Chet beat Wemby in the 21’ FIBA U19 cup final and won mvp, but you right wemby’s expectations are so big anything less is dissapointing
Yeah people keep thinking it’s the media, but I think Wemby hates him for that still.
Wemby absolutely despises Chet and he makes it so obvious every time they are on the court together lol
Wemby always gives it a little extra whenever he faces Chet/OKC
Its so obvious to anyone who watches Wemby in other games, like yeah he’s still fucking good but against OKC he brings another gear
So glad this video essay popped on my feed today. Got me so hype for this series.
https://youtu.be/vTYOiEW_ts4?si=9_JtTkTDsuZ5pTch
Video not available anymore
they’re both tall
The crazy thing is when OKC plays pretty much anyone else I always notice how tall Chet is. But when they play the Spurs Wemby absolutely towers over him and Chet kinda just blurs in with the rest of the players. I know he’s listed as only three inches taller but no way I can’t believe that. He easily looks half a foot taller.
Because his frame is way bigger than Chet’s. Like his shoulders are much wider
Chet has the frame and build of a 12 year old girl
He should give it back to the poor girl
12 year old girl reads better
He looks like one of those giant Home Depot Halloween skeletons
It’s always crazy to me whenever there’s a floor level shot and you can see how much taller Wemby is than whatever center he’s playing that night
I think Wemby deflates and most players inflate their height so the listings and the eye test don’t match
There’s no way in hell he’s only 7’4
I don’t know why you’re trying to argue with Redditors over this. Go ask Wemby why he hates Chet
Shai got 1st place MVP votes too and Dylan Harper outclassed him.
wemby is pushing it, but it’s not a rivalry anymore. common wmbey, chet’s already dead. destroy them more!
I mean they’ve had a rivalry since high school. It used to be closer. And Chet will probably be the center for team USA so it will keep going
I think they have a history going back to youth national team days
I didn’t even notice Chet out there. Wemby being on the court completely changes the entire game.
people don’t realize that NBA players legit has PTSD against Wemby
There’s a famous clip of SGA screaming “WEMBY IS COMING WEMBY IS COMING” repeatedly in a game where Wemby isn’t even playing. His teammates had to calm him down by saying “there’s no Wemby calm down” lmao.
ahhh this used to be a respectable sub where people knew League of Legends copypastas
wemby = 6 item akali before w vision changes confirmed
I thought I was tweaking, cause I remembered this scenario before. Then I realized it was fucking about Akali
Stop aura farming, Wemby!
Absolutely my fav when offensive player gets him 1:1 in the paint, Wemby doesn’t even put his arms up yet, just starts looming, and the player just nopes and passes the ball out lmaooo
its like steph getting players to jump to block his shot just from looking at the rim
The next step in his defensive game is to just use his aura to affect shots while not even contesting to save energy.
Get in here, boys
[removed]
Been a while since I cheered this much for someone not on my team lmao
It’s the mutual okc hate that brings it all together
Let it flow through you
Same hahaha last I was like this was back in 2010 rooting for the Lakers to beat the Celtics after they knocked out LeBron’s Cavs. LOL Go Spurs!!
He’s got the same twisted, pathological competitive drive as Jordan.
Literally takes everything personally.
“SGA got the MVP trophy at halftime…. …and I took that personally”
somebody takes something personally
Wemby: “et je l’ai mal pris.”
Wemby outmeated Shai
holddddddd
Mitchell vs wemby in a meat off next round
WE HERE
HE THE GOAT
he is the goat
6’0 vs 5’11
Shake that nerd.
creaming as we speak
That elbow was loaded up but Wendy mercifully gave the booty instead.
You can see him thinking about it for half a second too. Playoff experience against the wolves paying off, now he knows how that one ends.
That booty was lined up with his chest. Holy shit.
And SGA is 6’6”. These NBA freaks lol
best comment
Jokes on him that booty does more damage than the elbow 😮💨
AM I NOT MERCIFUL!!!!!
twerks cheeks
Sir this is not a Wendy’s
Sir, this is a Wemby’s
Its the implication of the elbow that gets them now
Wemby out-auraing SGA
Wemby out meating Shai
I mean you’re not wrong but did you have to put it that way
It’s an NBA Twitter reference.
A Donovan Mitchell Stan account infamously tweeted “WE OUTMEATED SHAI” after DMitch and Shai were both posted in underwear for a Skims campaign.
I would link the original tweet but this sub doesn’t like Twitter links.
Let the record show that Donovan Mitchell himself has seen the tweet.
Not only saw it, but was the one sending it around lmfao
What is this a crossover episode
Hahahaha
Can’t wait for the Mitchell vs Wemby finals. A true meat-off.
SGA have aura?
Aura Boringalis
Aura Flopealis
Lmao this is the dumbest thing ever
Hahahahaha!
Hahaha
standing ovation gif
that’s a foul
SGA to the line
Only 9 free throws for Shai ain’t going to cut it. A fair whistle is his kryptonite.
Low bar
SGA IS A FOUL BAITING, DIRTY, FLOPPING THUNDER FLOPPER.
He is not KOBE. HE is not MIKE. HE IS A THUNDER FLOPPER.
Im glad wemby hates this OKC team as much as every non OKC fan does. He is out there fighting for us against the avengers of unethical hoops
I’ve never been rooting for a team harder in my life and I hate the Spurs.
Today I stand with a Lakers fan
Haha my man. I am hoping with all my might you guys make finals. Fight hard.
there never was any bad blood, brother
2000-2010 were just West slugfests. Lakers, Suns, Mavs, Spurs would cannibalise each other. I’m also pretty sure Pop would never trade anyone to the Lakers or give them any help.
Hold on let’s not go fucking crazy now
ikr! Guy be talking crazy
This team is easy to not hate even with the history.
I never thought I would root hard for the Spurs either but I just despise the way OKC plays basketball, and I’ll cheer for the watchable basketball over the franchise hate. Also rooted for the Lakers in the last series, hell has frozen over.
(Has nothing to do with OKC beating the Suns either, that series never meant anything. They just play awful ball.)
Watchable basketball my ass. Watching Wemby is insane, it’s like going to a magic show
OKC could literally be the death of the nba. They need to end.
We’re all dumping energy into the Spurs spirit bomb it’s ok
Me 2 lol
same 😂
Wemby being the leader of “ethical hoops” is the funniest shit I’ve ever heard
He fuckin hates chet holmgren hahahaha
Comrade Wemby playing the people’s hoops
im livid if im shai
where is shai anyways?
MVP showed up for his trophy and forgot to actually play basketball
Shades of Robinson winning the MVP in front of Olajuwon
Don’t you dare.
David Robinson played great that series. Getting double teamed on offense. Dennis Rodman on the other hand didn’t follow the team strat of doubling Hakeem coz’ he felt slighted that he wasn’t his main defender. Fuck Dennis Rodman man!
My Dirk 😔
I’d call it an Embiid moment but it’s happening in the conference finals
Busy putting on some questionable fits for the postgame presser
Maybe he’ll wear the earthworm costume again
Shai lowkey having a disappointing playoffs so far. OKC bench is just bailing him out during his bad games.
He had his fair share of stinkers last year too, but they won so it ultimately didn’t matter. Really makes you wonder what would have happened if Hali hadn’t gone down in G7, because SGA was 8⁄27 from the field
I feel like I just watched “Rookie of the Year” with Thomas Ian Nicholas - maybe SGA’s arm just clicked back into place and now he can’t shoot any more
brb gotta order my Wemby jersey
Get a game worn jersey and we’ll stack on top of each other in it like a trench coat
Make sure to get it in his size too, I just think it would be funny.
Holy shit lol
Not really, there are many years where more than one player truly deserves MVP.
Steph did have to play in the same era as Durant, LeBron, harden, and Westbrook all avg like 30 a season and Westbrook those few years averaging a triple double
Steph played against some of the best teams in NBA history
Shai has never faced a team even half as good as some of those teams
Until tonight
He has now. What a game
He has more than Shaq and Kobe, just like Steve Nash. The MVP award at this point is meaningless, every year, people vote for the player who happens to play in the best team, never the best player with the best stats.
DPOY throwing it back on the MVP. Best WCF of all time
Glad Caruso is getting some love…
Lowkey you kinda right but only on reddit would you see this comment one game into the series
Will the real MVP please stand up
Or bend over
Wemby with a creative way to express how SGA is affecting the league
The best part is how Thunder fans aren’t even showing up in these threads trying to defend their guy
Nah this shit is truly insane
Is this your MVP?
shades of Gol D. Roger: HE LAUGHED.
Conquerors haki
SGA: He LARPed
Am I the only one getting every streamable link saying max challenge attempts exceeded?
I’m getting it too. So fking annoying
same here but only if i try to access it through reddit. if i just open the link it works fine. has been happening a few times throughout the playoffs this year
Lol what was SGA even trying to do there
I guess he wanted to distract everyone from the fact that he had one of the worst game 7 shooting performances in NBA history in the finals last year (but got bailed out by Haliburton’s achilles) and from the fact that he has sucked in almost every game he’s played against a competent team these playoffs, but is consistently bailed out by his stacked team.
Also the most obvious example of how much SGA’s game is based on foul baiting. Everyone knows the games are officiated differently in the playoffs, right or wrong, and this isn’t unique to basketball either. So what else explains his drop off in production in the playoffs? Yknow who else is notorious for this? James Harden, another bonafide foul baiter who’s very average, if that, once he’s not getting every BS whistle
That’s just discounting the defensive game plan the spurs had for him. Which isn’t a secret since they have been doing it since last year.
But yeah SGA’s gotta learn how to deal with it, you can’t be an all time great and get completely neutralized.
yeah i dont think his lack of scoring/subpar shooting is down to a lack of calls tonight. i mean he did still shoot 9 fts (granted it was a double OT game). spurs really just played great defense on him all game, especially i was really impressed with bryant’s defense on him in the first half. was a little surprised by how much SGA seemed to struggle against the aggressive D from SA’s guards. expecting he’ll adjust for next game
He will try to adjust, but if they keep throwing athletic bodies on him that can keep up he will struggle all series. Detroits defense had Mitchell looking real average for most of the games in their series. Exception for second half game 3 and game 7
thing is, Spurs are the only team in the league who can truly not give a fuck if the opposing point guard beats his man. Can’t do anything in the paint against wemby
Tbf he’s also sucked against the incompetent team this playoffs.
Tune in next January where we are supposed to believe that he is the best player because his team is stacked and they won the previous 20 games
i appreciate and agree with the hate emanating from this post
Finally seeing Shai with a “normal” whistle and he’s getting exposed.
Jinxed it bro
He had a small run but overall he hasnt been great. If the Thunder win it’ll be because of Caruso, not SGA.
It’s rare but FTA goes from superstar to good role player when his whistle isn’t falling
“Come on now you f-ing midget” - Wemby to the MVP probably
I love wemby cause he hates the thunder as much as I do
Shai getting punked by Wemby
The real mvp
My mvp
I won’t be mad if wemby dominates for 7 years straight. His game is much more fun to watch then SGA
how tf did they not give MVP to wemby man. i don’t get it
Media members don’t respect defense very much
I thought Defense was the reason Luka wasn’t in the conversation.
I think winning the finals and then the thunders having an amazing start with the talks of beating the warriors season kinda cemented it this season.
It’s a regular season award
Yeah. It’s dumb. If anything it should have gone Wemby, Luka/Jokic, Shai.
It’s kind of funny. Having the best team around you and therefore not being as valuable to your team is the way to win MVP.
I thought Wemby was going to elbow him at 21 seconds lmao
It’s just insane that SGA is 6’6 and Wemby’s hips are up to SGA’s sternum.
OKC may be a great basketball team, but they are so soft that they need to be clowned on like this. Half the shit they do would get you laughed out of LA Fitness lol
It’s like watching Hakeem mad at David Robinson, but the spur’s on the other foot.
dont catch a bow shai
He almost gave SGA another one of those elbows 💀
Wemby was winding up that Wembow just then too lmaoooo he done got one taste on Naz, now the whole league is on watch.
Dont ever compare this fraud to MJ and Kobe again
The real MVP
Wemby was about to throw an elbow at SGA’s face!
Laughed coz he almost let go of that elbow again
Wemby’s got a much bigger dick and they’re playing with no undies tonight
Conqueror’s Haki
Bro stuck his tongue out 😛
Lost in all this, that was a hell of a pass
Refs working ot to hand the W to okc
MVP
this is absolutely beautiful, i could shed a tear
I haven’t seen this attitude since Kobe. He’s cut from the MJ cloth yeah it’s over.
Naw he ain’t MJ cause he’s not a dickhead. Good teammate. Good competitor. He’s something new.
No wonder they had to announce mvp before this game, would have been a different story otherwise
Ended up in Heated Rivalry territory
He’s so good x4
