[Highlight] Wemby ties the game from WAY deep
He’s unreal
Lmao they just showed a close up of the ball going in and you can see Cason Wallace in the background going “oh come the fuck on”
Real “get the fuck out of here” energy from the thunder bench after this shot. Sometimes all you can do is be an awe at things lol. Absolutely insane
Down 3.
Overtime.
36 sec left in the game.
Just pulls up from 28 ft.
With 20 sec left on the shot clock.
No hesitation.
Casually cold-blooded.
Golden State has a time out, decides not to use it
BANG!!! …. BANG!!!
And now .. Wemby’s gonna pull a deep three….
Ohhhh! Ho ! ho!
I just want
BANG BANG BANG
All hail the new king of basketball. We are SO fucked in the West.
What makes it worse is that it’s not just him. Harper is just scratching the surface, and Castle is already becoming a star along side him. And Wemby is also going to continue to get better. Oh and because it’s the Spurs they have some great quiet role players and depth that do a little bit of everything.
Caught that on the zoomed in replay. You just gotta laugh. Like wtf are you supposed to do? Guard him and contest a shot at half court like hes steph? My lord
lol just make Caruso do that too. Gonna send him out there with a stepladder next game.
Enes Kanter Freedom vibes
Spotted that too lmao, nothing you can do but laugh
Like Kanter’s shrug 🤷 when Curry hit the 38-footer
This guy is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s the same feeling I get with Ohtani in baseball. We are witnessing greatness.
He just did a pump fake 3 to a dunk. What the fuck do you even say?
This is so understated. A sideways dribble into a fucking two step gather dunk in traffic??!? What the fuck
I feel like the people around me at the bar are far underselling this. I don’t even understand how he can cover that much ground.
Literally two steps to go from outside the 3 point line to a dunk. That’s not even fair.
The GOAT debate will be MJ versus LeBron versus Wemby
If this kid doesn’t get a career altering injury of some kind (please BBall gods protect him) I don’t think there will BE much of a GOAT debate by the time he is done.
It’s crazy to say that his biggest enemy for a GOAT career trajectory is battling injuries and not the players themselves.
I can’t recall how often we can say that for any NBA player.
third season and he’s averaged 25⁄11.5 with 4.1 stocks MJ third season averaged 37/5/5 with 4.4 stocks LeBron third season averaged 31/7/7 Kareem at the same age (his rookie season) averaged 29⁄14.5 and who knows how many blocks (tip, it was a lot) So he’s doing great early on, but the consensus top three were doing crazy things too at that stage. The very next season MJ would win MVP, DPOY and lead the league in scoring with 35 a game. LeBron’s fourth season he led his team to the Finals and Kareem won MVP while averaging 32⁄16 with a gazillion untracked blocks then led his team to a championship winning Finals MVP. As crazy as it might sound, he probably has to up his game to another level in order to catch up with the trajectory of those guys….of course, if he leads the Spurs to a championship these playoffs then he probably jumps to that level. Lot of hyperbole floating around after this game….I can’t imagine what the hell this sub would have looked like after MJ was dropping 63 points in his second playoffs lol
I can’t imagine what the hell this sub would have looked like after MJ was dropping 63 points in his second playoffs lol
They probably would have been like, “holy shit, this guy is actually gonna be the GOAT!”
Agree. Injury free, It wont even be close that he is the defensive goat. He gets anywhere near the top 10 for offense and he’s the goat imo
Kareem 2: Alien Bugaloo
Kareem with shooting range. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
Wemby needs to develop the Sky Hook.
God heard the MJ vs Bron debate and decided to end it by giving us Wemby
Wemby showing us the real MVP all night
Not even being disrespectful to Shai, he’s great, but this is generational greatness we’re witnessing. There’s levels to this
I’ve been telling mfs all week that this best player in the world talk isn’t for nothing. On top of the fact that he’s the most physically gifted player we’ve ever seen, this dude fucking has the mental shit that is truly “generational.” I’m fucking excited to watch Wemby’s career.
Everybody in the Hollinger thread bitching about execs being premature in talking up Wemby looking real dumb right now lol
From Feb 1 to the season end Wemby lost 3 basketball games
Us Spurs fans were begging to just get Wembys name in the conversation without getting shouted down lol
“He’s good but does all this without playing 30 minutes (derogatory)”
“He’s good but the Spurs haven’t played anybody”
“He’s good but chill on the defense talk because good defense isn’t really that impactful!”
Meanwhile we’re watching game after game where opposing teams are literally changing the way they play offense every night
I mean after G3 of the wolves series any Wemby doubts I had were gone personally lol (and even those were just about if the playoff lights might get to him in his first go around vs anything about his long-term outlook). Wish we had played better against you but he’s just a literal cheat code it feels like
Shai is basically Kobe with bad PR
We’ve never seen basically a taller KG with actual handles and a 3 ball
And dare I say better defense.
Unreal you can give the ball to your 7’6 center at the top of the key with the game on the line and trust him to get a bucket for you from that spot.
He really is gonna be the guy for the next 10 years if he’s healthy.
He’s insane
It’s like Jordan beating the Pistons in 1991, except like 5 years early.
I believe
I was stunned by this shot. Just speechless. The league is in trouble.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
THAT WAS FROM HIS HOME PLANET
Dude copied that Curry PTS3 from 2016
He saw we weren’t using that timeout and activated
Shame Mike Breen wasn’t on the call here
BAAANNGG, BAAHHHHNGG!!!
“High level of basketball being displayed gentlemen”
- GetOffMyDickerson
Victor Curryama
i feel like a guy grabbing 20 rebounds should not also be able to shoot from Curry range
Why doesn‘t curry just grow another 15 inches?
Is he stupid?
All the way from the Yucatan galaxy.
This guy is not real.
imagine showing this to a random fan in the 80s, would damn near have a stroke
In 1993 Manute Bol who is taller than Wemby hit 6 3s in one half. No strokes were had.
If Manute Bol pulled up from 32 feet in the final moments of a 90s conference finals game I think the coaching staff would have shot him
How many of those were off the dribble 10 feet behind the line again?
Best player in the world
Taking a transition three early in the shot clock in that situation is incredibly bold, and actually making it is ridiculous. Wemby is truly unreal.
I couldn’t fucking believe it. So many emotions as that ball was in the air
2 for 1, great make though
LéFuckYou3, oui
nah this is Curry BANG BANG
7’4 dude drilling a logo 3
NO HESITATION, WHAT THE FUCK, CURRY-ESQUE SHIT
BANG BANG
Noooooooooooo
YESSSSSSSSS
Legit alien
SPACE FUCKER 👽
THEY HAVE A TIMEOUT DECIDED NOT TO USE IT
HE’S THE GOAT I DONT CARE
LE TRÈBUCHET
[removed]
I think that’s taken
THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Best game 1 ever lol
This feels like a game 7. This is the besr game I’ve seen in a longgggg time.
Best game since… the Spurs OKC in season tourney game
This was better ngl
Cavs Warriors 2018 is up there
Pacers/Nuggets vs Thunder last year were both crazy too
watching demi gods hoops haven’t felt this since Cavs vs Warriors 2016
One of the best playoff games of the past decade
Instant classic
WE ARE ALL SPOILED
the balls to shoot that is actually insane, what the actual fuck
Literally had me quoting PG unironically lol
I mean that is a bad shot
It’s a terrible shot. That’s what makes this more insane. He is visibly gassed so I thought he was just chucking an ill advised prayer. I think that was his only attempt from 3 as well
Wrong. It was an excellent shot, he was going for the 2 for 1
A 2 for 1 down points. Throwing this one away on a half court short is wild
They used to try to say Steph took bad shots… unless you start making them. He drilled it. Situationally they needed a quick basket and enough time to make a comeback if they had an empty possession.
He showed no fear the whole game and when he went to the free throw line he was so calm he made me feel like I was meditating on my couch
He owes those monks some of his contract money
Plot twist: Wemby was teaching the monks
That shot completely reversed OKC’s momentum there—gutted
It was jarring just how quickly that crowd went silent lmao
I get loud and drunk for our playoff games and this made me totally speechless.
Bro was having his inner monk moment. He was at a peaceful pond somewhere in China
Curry sized balls doing that shit lmfao
What a player
I’ve never made the noise I made when that shot went in
Cheering like a lunatic and I’m a Lakers fan watching the Spurs
Temporary Spurs fans unite!
Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a Lakers fan
How bout by a friend
Ah. That I could do
feels like Wemby solving world peace here
Wemby in a comically undersized therapist’s chair talking Metta World Peace through his inner demons and helping him heal
we are all united in our hatred of OKC and their unethical brand of flopfest + “let’s foul on every play and dare the refs to call it” basketball
The Spurs have one year to be the upstart sweethearts. Next year Wemby and Harper are going to be too good to like.
I watched this at a bar in LA and the entire bar just lost it after this shot
i literally dapped my dog up 😂😂
I fucking cackled hystericslly
But can he do it in the playoffs
Wemby won’t be able to handle the physicality
Wemby will never play more than 50 games
Wemby is insanely raw offensively
Wemby won’t be able to do it in the playoffs
It’s just a bad matchup for OKC < You are here
Wemby will not win 8 consecutive championships
Wemby will not be fitted with a cybernetic exoskeleton
Wemby will not be crowned chairman of the intergalactic federation
Wemby cant last more than 40 minutes
Pause
LMFAO I’m dying at this 😂😂😂
He’s been the best player in the league since midway this regular season but the only card the doubters/deniers had was playoffs
Next they’ll say he needs a ring… until that inevitably happens either this season or next
Then he’ll need an MVP…
That’s not a best player in the league award, it’s way too team record influenced
Also Wemby will absolutely get an MVP.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Living up to the hype
He’s beating the hype tbh. Easily the next GOAT player and on his way to top 1 of all time barring injury
Injury is literally the ONLY thing that can stop him from dominating the league
As an old head that has MJ as GOAT, Wemby has a legit shot at GOAT status. Dude is unreal
7’4” all-time-great defender draining 30 foot shots is not balanced
Either he’s taller than 7’4” or Chet is 6’10”.
He’s 100% grown. Looks closer to 7’6 in shoes now.
Could genuinely go down as the greatest defender of all time if he stays healthy, he’s just 22 this season and the only defender better than him I’ve seen is prime Hakeem.
That mf cold
give me 9 games of this fucking series
We may have 9 games played by the time Game 1 is settled.
Please no im getting older and my heart cant take it.
Was that NOT 9 games?
They do have a timeout, decide not to use it… Wemby, from way downtown…
We finally have the answer to what would Stephen Curry look like if he was 8ft
All those years of “imagine if Giannis could shoot like Steph…”
Universe laughs
“Okay, and how about we also make him five inches taller.”
Bang!!! Bang!!! Oh what a shot from Wemby!
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK
Thunder fans getting PTSD from late deep 3 at that spot
LEFUCKYOUTHREE
This works with him too because he’s French
ALIEN
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LMAO
We never stood a chance this is crazy
We goes to another level when he plays the Thunder from tbe pure hatred in his heart
He hates Chet.
Shows how good twolves actually played.
What a crazy shot to take. Absolutely fearless.
It is the fearlessness that gets me. It’s an incredible shot - what PG would call it “a bad shot”, he misses and the game is over, OKC have the ball with 3 ahead and probably shoot free throws to win…
Wemby: no problem
Add this to the hall of fuck me 3s against OKC
Unbelievable shot
What a fucking shot, the crowd went dead silent
Turned Reggie Miller into Goofy.
Love it when all Reggie can do is laugh at some insane play, like after Hali forced OT against the Knicks last year
Hate on Reggie all you want but you can tell he loves the game of basketball. Can’t say the same about everyone else. And man I wish we still had Bill Walton to color commentate these games. The adjective use would be off the chart.
This guy is INSANE
That’s not how you spell alien bro 😭
“Why the fuck are you shooting from the- oh never mind”
My exact words before the shot went in
CURRY FROM WAY DOWNTOWN AHH SHOT
WE DID HAVE A TIMEOUT DECIDED NOT TO USE IT
Hit like a flashbang
Tall Steph
He’s like the giraffe that Curry voiced in Goat
That should not be possible lmao
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK THAT’S THE GOAT IDC
Deadass, he’s only 22 and is dropping 32⁄20 on the best defense in the league. This is the beginning of his era I fear
Edit: 41/23/3, 1 STL, 3 BLKs, 56%. This is biblical shit
40⁄20 now. Crazy stuff
41 and 24 with 3 assists and 3 blocks is legit GOAT level numbers
WHAT THE FUCK
WHATTTTT THEEEEE FUCKKKKK WEMBYYYYY
This game will go down as the beginning of the Wemby era.
Yeah it’s over for the league 😂
This shot hit OKC fans with war flashbacks as if Curry grew to the size of a tree.
Curry 3
Lillard 3
Wemby 3
Add it to the list
This clip fucking sucks. Should show him brining the ball up.
Buries the lede that this was a transition 3 from him lol
Yeah these fuckin guys racing to get it posted first and they can’t even clip it properly. OP doesn’t even add an extended replay in the pinned comment either.
Mods do your job
Mother of god
HE SHOT THAT BITCH FROM YUKATAN
My jaw is wide ass open holy shit
This game is nuts
horrible sh- AMAZING SHOT
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
DOUBLE OVERTIME THIS SERIES IS GONNA FEED FAMILIES
He broke the game thread with that shot
What the actual fuck?!
How do you say “lefuckyou three” in French.
Yeah, let’s just cancel the finals. This is nuts
That mf ain’t human. Ice in his veins.
THE GOAT
He’s legit exactly what he was supposed to be
