[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama hits the step back on Isaiah Hartenstein (with a replay)
Wemby is a walking highlight reel
Bro his bag is so fucking complete, he would be a stud at 6’8”
He would be Jayson Tatum
Literally
Tatum can dribble and create for himself consistently, Wemby can’t man
Commenting this on an iso ball, stepback 3 post is hilarious
48.2% TS on iso’s this season, but go off king
He just did
Consistently being the key word
Precious achiuwa has some crazy self creation highlights for example
Why would you expect someone his size to create for himself consistently? I can’t think of one player that size that does that. His bag is about as complete as it can be for a player his size.
Jokic, Giannis and Embiid all create for themselves
Big Wemb is 4-5” taller than all of those players. Giannis is a super athlete that drives to the hoop, Jokic is post up or spot up shooter, and Embiid is a tier below these guys regardless if he’s good at creating his shots or not.
Self creation is still an essential tool for a #1 on offence though. Like yeah theoretically he could rely on it less than the other 3 cos he’s like 5 inches taller but we’ve seen him basically be taken out the game offensively these last 2 games cos he has zero self creation ability
Also if wemby shrunk he definitely would be able yo
Consistently?
Why does this have down votes like we haven’t seen his offence look mad regular once OKC put Chet and IHart on him lol. Scoring aside, the passing has been mediocre and he barely bends the defence / creates advantages.
The only thing keeping his offence afloat these last 2 games is the occasional deep catch and shoot 3 and put backs.
Isn’t that because his large frame causes speed problems for him in creating space? I would imagine he would be a lot more agile at 6’8 so I think the point stands
Isn’t he a stud at 7’5?
He’s saying he would be even if he was 8 inches shorter.
He’s god at 7’5”
Is it , tho?
Thunder fans want to put SGA on the same level as this lmao
my guy has 2 mvps, not like he’s a scrub
The voters decided it’s a team award now
It’s always been a team award outside of like 2 or 3 seasons lmao
MVP has never been the Most Explosive Player award Kobe and Harden didn’t win in their 36 PPG years
I argue Kobe definitely and Harden should have 3. Kobe should’ve gotten it in ‘06 and ‘09. Harden deserved it in ‘17 and ‘19 (come at me Russ fans, imho Harden was better that season).
And they were correct.
Fine, man, let it be a team award, but I don’t want to hear you bring up MVPs when I say I think another player is better than Shai.
He’s just boring as hell to watch tho
Devils advocate here, SGA does things more technically impressive than this.
This is just cool because he’s big as fuck lol.
Dude have you seen how other normal 7 footers moved? It shouldn’t be physically possible to do what he does at that height you can’t ignore that
Are you repeating what I said in my comment lol
Who cares about technique? Would u rather watch MJ dunk on a 7 footer or Steve Kerr hit a rhythm three?
No im saying you can’t even compare what sga does to this shit it’s on another level
Not really? Shai had the most efficient 30+ ppg season by a guard in history. Wemby sometimes hits a tough 3 pointer that looks cool but he’ll go 2-8 from three in the same game and get gassed up because of the 2 he made, not the 6 he missed.
Well you jumped the gun on this one
Absolutely, he is. He didn’t disappear this game.
These are hilarious to look back on. Lol
SGA Derangement Syndrome
100%. People who think he’s anywhere near Wemby are deranged.
Heck his rookie season highlight reel is better than a lot of modern HOFers’ and all stars entire career highlights.
He’s actually somewhat ruining basketball for me because watching other teams can get so boring because I’ve seen it all before but with him it’s always something insane or new.
Those 4 rebounds were SICK
That dribble tho, hit me in the feels I LIKE IT A LOT
I still can’t believe I got -472 downvotes for saying I’ll pick Wemby over Luka during Wemby’s rookie season.
Yes, I remembered the exact number cause I held that to heart.
Yup looks about right.
I’ve seen Luka do that a few times
now add a foot lenghwise!
He’s just tall
Anyone could do this at his height.
Bol Bol could honestly do this pre achilles in the Philiphines league
damn, that’s sad to hear. He was hopping out there.
If he was half an inch shorter, he’d be flipping burgers smh
Thunder flairs in the game thread last game were going crazy
Wet Bananas😩
“Do you know flight? Eggplant emoji.”
How do you stop that lol
You genuinely don’t. You Just hope he never becomes a knockdown shooter
Easy, all you need is some uncalled grabbing and holding lmao
You don’t. You just say “thanks for not going into the paint” and live with the result
And it ended up working. It’s a nice tool for Wemby to have but if a 7’6 guy is doing this he’s not maximizing the damage he could be doing.
You send Caruso against him and maul him, no calls
I can tell you but it requires an enforcer Draymond type of player and they’ll get ejected lol
oh so this is why he grabs and pulls on him
That’s the only thing that even sort of worked. He’s just completely embarrassing our defense.
Why didn’t Wemby fall here? Isn’t that what good shooters are supposed to do to protect their knees?
I mean, what can you even do? 7’8 guy hitting the step back 3, it’s just unguardable.
A 7 foot dude should not move like that
I mean… HOLY SHIT
Pack it up boys, it’s over
Lmaoooooooooo
Enjoy your one season of being the heroes. When Wemby comes back next year twice as good as he was this season, Spurs fans will begin the next decade of being the villains.
This guy is literally a 2k hacked player in real life…
If you showed me this clip 15 years ago I’d think 2k graphics went nuts in the future
Not the Churro step back
Dude’s just unfair
I will never normalize a 7’5 guy doing this. Should be impossible
thats how u shoot without falling btw
Not fair
If you’re the Thunder, you love this. He can’t win taking these awful shots. He can get lucky and hit some, but it’s not smart at all
Cook this motherfucker wemby
Why didn’t Hartenstein go up and just bear hug Wemby there? Is he stupid?
He’s so good
The fuck was that
Cant see the clip. Its blackscreen on my end for some reason.
2K used to not let me make this kind of player
Literally insane. He is not supposed to be moving like this.
7’4” player hitting a step back 3 is just ridiculous
8 foot wing span makes it unfair
2k MyPlayer 7’6 should not move like this
KD ass shit
balding dude was the ultimate hype man lmao
They don’t let you build this on 2k
Wemby stop it’s too early for me to start glazing this hard
Stick man out there moving like a guard. Such a crazy beautiful thing to watch
This fucking dude just turned 22
Maybe this is why he only got 4 rebounds tonight
Spurs really do a nice job of starting strong. Have all playoffs.
I thought you were supposed to fall when doing step backs so it’s easier on your body.
How can you even contested that
gonna be a long night for okc
Indeed, it was a long night of whooping ass
yes it was lmao
Unreal
Jamal Crawford literally smiling ear to ear
In a blender
Nobody is happier than Northernlion
Cold as fuck
He’s the best player on the planet. Simply no one else has such an outsized impact on every single play in both sides of the ball
This is like when they invented the alley-op. wtf have we just seen
Wemby is a generational talent but he is gonna have to get tougher playing in the paint
I am scared.
Fucking god….. best physical specimen since lebron????
Victor Wanyama being both a pro NBA player and pro soccer player is most impressive.
A three this early in the game shouldn’t get this reaction from me he’s just too fun to watch
hes not even in his prime
Sir, this is a Wemby’s
THAT GEOMETRICALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED
Honestly though it doesn’t even make sense
he shd practice this in the offseason and be the next curry. With his height, no one can block him
Anyone else getting site content blocked?
I can do that…
No
People aren’t understanding how insane this is
Sweet fuck, that is wild. Makes sense why the game plan last game was just “foul the absolute shit out of him all the time”.
My 25⁄12
They really made my create a player a real person.
SO NASTY!
Needed way more of this from Wemby tonight. The Thunder are getting away with putting the likes of Jaylin Williams and Hartenstein on him
Wemby looks cooler shooting a 3 than he does dunking.
Wemby with the REVENGE step back 😤
If he flopped after that shot, thats 2 shot for sga
Wemby è un Unicorno… Una sorta di creatura mitologica….. Destinatario a dominare
I love the echo chamber here. Makes me glad I can think for myself.
Hold that dick hartenstein
