[All-Access] A view from the crowd as Victor Wembanyama ties the game with a 28-foot 3-pointer with less than 30 seconds left in OT.
Why the hell is a 7’4 dude taking a Steph curry three and just drilling it lol
Something about that OKC court. Is it built on top of a burial ground?
It is the correct territory
Dark
Yeah, it’s located in North America.
Yes, it’s built on the stolen grave of the Sonics
How quickly these nephews forget about us :(
I’ve never forgotten (and I’m not a former Sonics fan, for what it’s worth). Fuck Clay Bennett.
Will never forget, even if you come back in the next couple years. Team stolen and with Durant, Westbrook. Harden and Ibaka in a couple of years.
Damn right
100% because I need an explanation for this fuckery. Luka gets hot here too
I loved it lol
Also he busted this in what is essentially the finals in a clutch pivotal monentum possession of a double OT game on the road. Fucking insane. After his team was throwing hard btw, forgetting how to pass dribble and shoot. Crazy shit. This series gonna be a banger.
The Native Americans who suffered on the Trail of Tears decided to focus all of their curses into ensuring that the Oklahoman basketball team experiences a devastating half-court 3-pointer every 10 years.
“We curse thee to suffer the most embarrassing defeat imaginable: being humiliated by a Frenchman!”
Actually jaw dropping that hes doing this while being the best defender on the court
best defender in the league, one of the best defenders of all time**
I legitimately believe that he’s already the best defender of all time
I do too but didn’t want to go quite that far in my first comment since it’s still arguable. Indisputable that he’s already ONE OF THE BEST at this point tho
SAY IT WITH YA CHEST ;)
If you’re just talking peak maybe. But most “best x” lists are peak + longevity, in which case Wemby has a long way to go to even crack the top 5.
Best yes, greatest no
Why we all tryna shrink him
Why the hell is a 8’4 dude taking a Steph curry three and just drilling it lol
Best 9’6 player ever
12 stories high
Made of radiation
7 foot twenty fucking killing for fun
Love that the real lyric of 6 foot twenty is actually pretty goddamn close
He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming
head in the stratosphere
made of anti-matter
My initial reaction was “Wtf are you doing man” and then he made that
NBA 2K type of player
r/nononoyes
It is actually a bad shot, shoutout Paul George, but what can you say about it when he makes it.
In a must-make scenario no less
They have a time out, decide not to use it!
BANG!
Because the spurs chose to focus his game on shooting insane 3 for the first years of his career literally for moments like this. Everything about this is normal for being that tell, except the shooting. They really saw the major hole and fixed it
The audacity!
This isn’t even considering how it was a down 3 with like 30 seconds left and plenty on the shot clock. Masssssiveeee cajones. So clutch
Look at his hands, the ball doesn’t even look comfortable
Zero hesitation too, game on the line and just launches it the second the ball hits his hand
Pretty sure he’s 7’10”
the balls of this man, if he misses that its such a killer and we’d talk about what a bad shot it was
I always thought it should be easier for taller guys to make longer range shots lol, they have much longer arms to get power for the ball to effortlessly reach there and they are at a higher vantage point to gauge distance and aim
He had ZERO hesitation on that shot. What the fuck
True MVP material right here. Zero Mercy and takes a “hero ball” when it’s actually needed rather than doing it in the middle of quarter and losing it.
But GOD DAMN Carusso what a game. Is this the best game of his life or what ?
Caruso played out of his skin and it still wasn’t enough. He should be proud, though.
Ya Caruso vs Wemby was not the matchup I expected but here we are
“You were magnificent, Alex Caruso: I shall never forget you as long as I live.”—Wemby, probably
Unexpected lobotomy kaisen reference.
You would think it would be the 7 foot long boi with gangly arms would be the one to give wemby trouble but it instead always the elmer fudd looking dude
Someone said Caillou
How long before we can expect “Stand Proud, You Are Strong” edits of Wemby and Caruso?
EDIT: https://i.imgur.com/5H5hRbR.png
He was so good in both overtimes. He read the play at the end of first OT for a strip. Just a man possessed today.
Seriously. That dude was ballin. Not only offensively but on defense too. Can’t even blame him on this play since he wouldn’t expect Wemby to pull up from 27 feet like that
Caruso was white MJ last night and they squandered it.
21 rebounds btw
24 wow
That’s my future goat fr
If he stays healthy and keeps this up he’ll be a top 10 all timer no question. That’s If he stays the same. If he gets better, who knows.
He’s got a legitimate chance to be mine and many many others as well
7’4 Rebounder rim protector with stephen curry range this shet should be banned from NBA
He’s put a few of those during regular season, famously the last game of his first season when they beat Denver and changed the playoffs
They needed a fast bucket and one dribble there meant Caruso on his chest.
Still, WHAT THE FUCK.
He was aware of the game clock.
Wemby left 27 seconds, so even if OKC scored, the Spurs would have the final possession of the fourt quarter.
He’s not human.
I hear he came to earth on a flying saucer
The Wemby Files. Disclosure Day is here.
Where’s Scully when you need her?
Don’t worry, we have De’Aaron Fox Mulder
The truth is out there
If NBA players had walk-up music, Wemby’s would be the X-Files theme
A custom flying saucer
The Spurs drafted him because they thought he would generously devote his life to the organization, for they saw him reading a book titled “To Serve Man”
If health permits, I think we will be seeing the best player to grace this sport! He’s got all the tools for it.
God i hope he reached 8-10 rings.
Statistically he probably will average like 25-26 11 4 3 but when you see him play his impact transcend his stats number.
8-10 rings not happening unless one team get all the all-stars in the leauge for 10 straight years. I say if Wemby can win 2-5, he will comfortably be in GOAT conversations
The thing is with 2nd apron(though with future cba that can change) every contender will have difficulty paying everyone.
So team with the best player have clear advantage even if theyre paying the same amount in the salary cap, spurs still have a lot of draft pick they can trade for role player on good contract in the future.
Peak wemby has more potential than anyone in nba history
What you’ll need is some guys who like playing together who take less money as a group to keep the gang together and win more titles.
Wemby to the Dodgers it is
Wemby’s like those anime characters who just sponge up every experience and absorb all the skills of everyone around and before him.
Jordan’s pathological competitive drive.
Hakeem’s dream shake.
Shaolin monks.
Chess. Star Wars. Wheel of Time.
Steph’s range.
Duncan’s positioning.
Admiral’s discipline.
Still waiting on Kareem’s sky hook, Duncan’s bank shot, and Jokic’s and Magic’s passing.
With more experience, his shot IQ will improve and he’ll be entirely unstoppable.
He has the banker already actually haha
LeBron’s longevity (hopefully)
LeBron has made it very clear in his Mind the Game podcast that he doesn’t want to coach after he retires (however many centuries in the future that will be), but I wonder if a guy who loves the game as much as he does can stop himself from giving masterclasses and advice to individuals. I bet Wemby would love to learn from him.
[deleted]
Aight let’s see him get 1 first
The KD Warriors had the most diabolically constructed roster ever and only took 2 titles in 3 trips and looked extremely mortal against the 2018 Rockets. People really underestimate how hard it is to do a 3peat, let alone a double 3peat.
Winning is really really hard is what i’ve learned from sports lol and being a 49ers fan. I’m just happy the warriors got 2 rings out of that superteam
His mentality is what makes me believe this. He’s so disciplined for a kid
A 7 ft 6 guy should not be able to do this lol
Hey now, bald people have feelings
Earth People - Dr. Octagon
The way he swings his arms is so unnatural lol. They are so long
he’s WEMVP
Lord have mercy on this sport
James Naismith looking down from basketball heaven with absolute stank face
Chris Paul looking down from basketball heaven with a smile
Again, Chris Paul is very much alive
He lives in Winston-Salem and is in his early 40s
Snitching on a jersey violation somewhere
that mona lisa grimace meme
This is not what BBall Paul imagined when he made the sport.
I’m laughing so hard at the visual of this
i’m glad cameras exist for the wemby era, nobody would believe it otherwise
“If only there was cameras here, nobody is ever going to believe this”
-someone during wilts 100 point game probably
The conspiracy theorists are so stupid with that. As if information didn’t travel before cameras. Newspapers have been around forever. Before that you have traders going from port to port spreading news.
Also, THERES AN AUDIO RECORDING YOU IDIOTS
I knew someone who said it took a week for people to know the Titanic sunk. Like bitch not only did they have wireless coms back then the ship didn’t fucking show up to port the day it was supposed to lmao.
Kids in 2076 will call it AI
Wemby’s existence makes me believe Wilt numbers are possible.
Insane. Crowd silent instantly on the main broadcast.
Fr thunder* were on a 7-0 run before that and crowd went from wild to silent 🤫
thunder stadium going silent is insanity
Seems to have carried over to this sub. Not a lot of Thunder flairs posting today. It’s nice.
you could say they got
THUNDERSTRUCK
guitar riff
Thunder but yea
It’s because mentally you see a 7 foot guy go up for a logo 3 with like 25 seconds left and you’re like “YES TERRIFIC WE RE GONNA… wait what in the absolute fuck”
Like the anti-Huerter winner
I love seeing all their hands folded onto their heads.
As a neutral fan, this is fucking awesome to watch. I feel for OKC and Spurs fans who have to deal with the stress. I hope this game goes to 4OT
I’m literally dead
I’m convinced that Wemby’s pure unbridled hatred for OKC is the reason he doesn’t look completely gassed after playing 50 minutes. It’s basically a 2nd life for him.
The MVP snub might well have given him Hakeem 2.0 arc now… At age 22.
Bro’s happy to die in exhaustion just to humiliate OKC.
Dude taking a logo shot casually to tie it is wild
Spurs better sweep.. I can’t do this more than 3 more times…
I didn’t necessarily doubt them, but I still can’t believe we won an away game without Fox. I was so nervous lol
I was sure we were going to win with only a couple minutes to go in regular time.. then I was sure we were gonna lose.. then in 1st OT I was POSITIVE we were going to win.. and then I fucking KNEW we were gonna lose.. and then 2nd OT started and I had my wife start CPR on me at the beginning just to make sure I survived..
as long as Spurs get overtime, it’s sure for wemby to have first possession from jumpball.
My god what a game. I’m glad it’s over, I’ve been up watching it here in Dubai UAE lol time to sleep, it’s 8 AM 😂
7 AM here. Absolutely worth it.
Had to stop watching first part of 2OT
How the fuck do you get this this quickly
peep the username lol
No yeah I know but still
hes not supposed to be able to do this lmaooo
It’s literally a build you can’t make in 2k
If there’s a more emphatic term than “one of one”, he’s that.
“He shot that bitch from Yucatán” - Anthony Edward’s
Is that a real place?
Nah, that’s how far that bitch was
He would say the exact same thing lmao
NBA players would know, that’s where Cancun is
It is. Is where the mayan pyramids are located.
And where the dinosaur asteroid hit.
It’s a peninsula in Mexico.
Has to be one of the craziest things I’ve seen.
Not gonna lie, when I saw him start to release the ball I shouted “fucking idiot!!!” Sorry Wemby
We all did hahahaha
What’s skyfucker in French?
Le skyfucker
Oh no I just realized there’s 20 more years of “le” jokes because Wemby is french.
Why only 20? Lebron is still in his midlife
I was thinking they would die down after his retirement. (Letirement)
Why would you think leretirement would be in the next 20 years
Nique-ciel.
Royale with cheese
This game is absolutely amazing
Holy fucking shit Wemby. That’s a bad shot!
I think the clock made him feel like it was a free shot.
Unironically one of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen in my life
Why would anyone think it’s ironically lol
Paul George: that’s a bad shot
I’ve never cried watching a shot until now
The greatest Spurs game I’ve watched since 2014.
Game in balance. Pressure at max. MVP on the floor.
But Wemby said: this is my league now.
40 points. 20+ rebounds. The coldest three when it mattered most.
MVP had the title. Wemby had the moment.
Wembanyama > MVP. Spurs are back.
He is a real alien
This shit just happened how they so fast
Just when things were getting dicey, Wemby calls on the power of his home planet
Heat check with less than 30 seconds left by him is ridiculous.
STEPH CURRY YOUR SON HAS RETURNED
Describing this game to future generations is gonna be hilarious. Thank God we have video 😂😂
Ice on his long ass veins
Putangina yes
Aliens man
WHAT A DAWG
#Same Spot Curry hit from
That will be shown 20 years from now
Shai should mail that trophy to San Antonio.
Excuse me?
This is one of the most incredible playoff games I’ve ever seen Been watching for over two decades.
Unreal
WHAT THE FUCK! The pressure being on the road to hit that shot Amazing!!!
Felt like a “I’ve arrived at my destiny” type of shot lmao, this shit was a divine bucket
That’s just stupid LMAO
Basketball Ohtani? As in a total unicorn. Unreal.
Honestly, this shot came outta no where. Felt like spurs couldn’t buy a bucket and were on the verge of losing this game. UNREAL
Trump’s upcoming announcement of Alien life existing in our universe is going to just be a 5 minute Wemby highlight synced to the X-files TV show theme.
FROM HIS HOME PLANET
OKC reliving Steph PTSD
The true MVP right there pulling up from another nearby city lol
this angle is so hilarious.
just lumbers down the court, you see him catch it, you know what is about to happen, it happens, and then he just lumbers back down the court like he isnt 8ft tall shooting logo length 3’s to tie it in OT.
leagues fucked
SacreBleu3
Talk about a silencer. My god.
We are seeing things that have never been seen before
The amount of people with their hand over their mouth in disbelief is amazing lol
The moment the live feed game thread broke on Reddit. What an amazing game!
Can you imagine being an OKC fan on that arena? You see French Jesus and He is against your team hitting that three. Against you.
OH, YOU THUNDER FANS DIDN’T THINK HE COULD DO THAT, HUH?
WELL, NEITHER DID I!
Umm… anyone ever drug tested this CRISPR baby?
