Wemby pulls up to game 6 in a thobe
First it was the monks…..then the nuns…..now this……the Spurs really be tryna get that supernatural aid huh
Can’t forget the most powerful of them all, Air Corgi.
shudders
Idk about these other religions, but Air Corgi terrifies me.
The Corgish priesthood are as deadly as they are secretive. It is said that merely witnessing one of their rites can damn one’s eyes to hell.
Everyone shut up! Stop talking about them! They might just be here reading these comments
Help! The corgis! They’re in my house! My boston terrier! NOOOOO!!!
Operation corgis thots!
Can I suggest the name Corgish Congregation?
Are fans going to start dressing as Corgis?
That’s the thing
Next to Wemby, we are all Corgi
The nuns have multiplied tonight, there’s like 8 of them in attendance
Tonight, we’re all nuns
Amen.
+5 in holy power ain’t no joke. Other side gonna be begging for a nerf.
They got Jesus and Buddha on their side. Can’t lose.
Thinking Basketball is going to release a video about the religion meta.
I remember when it was called Ron Arrest.
For potential game 7 they need to become the most powerful creatures that decide it all. The mighty refs
If he really wants to win, he should go to a synagogue.
This looks very comfortable ngl
They are lol
Especially for a guy built like him. Must be hard to find comfortable clothes
He gets his clothes specially made. This is actually just a regular shirt. Wemby just picked XXXXXXXXXXXXXL instead of XXXXXXXXXL on accident.
Can you imagine being as tall as him but broke?
Then getting clothes will really be a problem
Jean’s are probably awful
I mean, most stores carry 30”x55” jeans, no?
Custom Jncos, or normal ones as jorts.
It’s meant for the harsh deserts of Arabia, it better be comfortable
I read Atlanta and was about to co-sign. But that makes sense too.
its a lot more comfortable without sweats tho
also watching a guy getting chased while he has to hike this up in order to run is an all time yakety sax experience everyone should get to witness

I’m not wearing shorts. I’m Girdmaxxing.
Gird your loins mf
Very lol
Its so comfortable and usually made of incredibly breathable material.
They are. Really comfortable to sleep in as well.
The monk told him to have some immaculate drip before he drops an above 50% shooting percentage.
It would have been perfect if he went full bald too.
He dribbled 14 miles up a mountain in this.
So why did he wear this?
Looks like a traditional Congolese robe (his dad is Congolese)
I think it originated in the Middle East and came to Congo via trade. Source: my dad was a historian focused on sub Saharan Africa.
Male robes is something im noticing is very popular in various parts of Africa but they also kinda share the same style as ones used in middle east and India too. Lol i should read up more on African roots (my dad is also a African historian nerd)
It’s because a large part of Africa is Muslim, and thobes/Arab attire is popular in most Muslim communities worldwide even if the communities aren’t Arab
For the immaculate drip
To drop 40 on them hoes
bro pulled up with the eid fit 😭😭
This does make me wonder if he’s religious and what his cultural background might be. Obviously it’s none of my business but my family just finished celebrating Eid (I don’t) and it is a 3 day celebration.
His mother is French and likely from a Christian background if she isn’t atheist. His dad is Congolese. It’s predominantly a Christian country, but there’s like 10% of Muslims. I don’t know if his father is religious though, let alone which one.
Wembanyama doesn’t sound Muslim. And his first name is victor
Which Congolese surnames “sound Muslim” to you?
Usually Muslim names are Arabic or the native language adapted Arabic. Wembanyama doesn’t sound Arabic or like translated Arabic
Congolese muslims usually stick to congolese (Lingala & Kikongo) or french naming traditions.
The town of Wembenyama is mostly Christian. I dont know if he’s from there but could be,
Doesn’t matter. Now that he’s wearing a throbe every Muslim uncle is going to claim he’s really a Muslim.
Just like how Cristiano Ronaldo became secretly Muslim to all these muslim zoomers on social media based entirely on hope and a few heavily edited and editorialized shorts that vaguely presented completely unrelated actions/statements by Ronaldo as being Muslim “hints”.
Everyone being naive af when this guy really just larping as a Muslim
bruh no one here has been to africa. this is like normal drip lol
Now that he’s wearing a throbe every Muslim uncle is going to claim he’s really a Muslim.
OG Ball Knowers remember the “Michael Jackson converted to Islam and sang the ‘Give thanks to Allah’ Nasheed” myths that pretty much every Muslim diaspora kid in the late 2000s/early 2010s fell for. Myself included for a minute lmao.

Bro respectfully, I think he’s an angsty 22 year old who reads fantasy books and he is reaching for any kind of deeper meaning and motivation.
If you read any of the books he does all of this makes perfect sense. He’s looking for the “Hero born low rises high” arc. He literally set up the training arc over the summer
I say this as someone who long ago got tattoos from those books at about his age lol
He’s just a normal young adult reading young adult shit…. but reddit has gone both extreme ways… Either he’s Jesus incarnate or the most angry and pretentious person to ever live.
Low key Jesus was prb angry and pretentious at 22 too
You can make a religion out of this.
you are not wrong, i read the stormlight books after i heard he liked them. He knows what the hero arc is and wants to be it. I love it
He’s also an incredibly successful 22yr old reading these books instead of us reading them in moms basement at that age trying to be cool and find ourselves
Wemban ya-Gaib
He could be a muslim but my guess is that France has a massive Muslim population. A lot of Africans immigrate there. So I’m pretty sure he has friends and has been around Islam/Muslims for a good part of his life so he’s familiar with it.
Mashallah wemby😭
Inshallah wemby will defeat the sinful thunder
This fit is even funnier after seeing people refer to shai as shaitan
he wll succeed where the haliban failed
He’s putting up 45 tonight isn’t he
Man he better after he took game 5 off
I don’t think he’s ready for the scrutiny he’s gonna be under if the Spurs lose tonight
He’ll be fine. They’re playing with house money this year. No one was talking about them in WCF preseason. Next year it’s chip or bust though.
Y’all could go the Dallas route of missing the playoffs next year before getting to the finals. Then trading wemby for AD after the finals trip.
I know it sounds ridiculous but hear me out. Some number 1 draft picks just don’t turn out how you expect. Like Luka, Wembanyama only plays one side of the ball, the good side admittedly but he is very simliar to Rudy Gobert and I just don’t know if you can win a championship with that type of player.
With AD.. admittedly he isn’t the most healthy player but he is also a champion already and can give you 20+ points with elite defense. Like what more could you want? A player that is a better scorer than AD AND a better defender doesn’t exist. If we want to win a championship now, that’s the path I take. Could potentially trade away Castle for a Ja Morant for more proven scoring.
Edit: /s
Asking ChatGPT: “How do I delete someone comment on the internet? Also, Is it possible for me to pimp slap someone through a screen?”
Solid bait 7⁄10. Little soft on there perimeter and slow on the switch but otherwise gets the job done. Real lunch pail type comment.
The NBA is too volatile to ever assume that a season can be treated as “house money”, you never know when a team’s championship window could close. Injuries can ruin a season or career, other teams could suddenly get better (especially with Giannis on the market this offseason), or players could leave/demand out unexpectedly. People also assumed that the Morant-era Grizzlies were set to be the next dynasty, and the same was true for the Harden-era Rockets and KD-Russ era Thunder, yet look how it turned out for those cores.
This is true and there’s never a guarantee they will make it back, just saying this team making it game 6 WCF is a great season. Of course they want to win it but he’s not going to be massively criticized for losing to the defending champs in a season where the expectations were to make the playoffs.
We literally don’t have a PF on our roster lol. This year was never about winning there are holes that will be adressed in the off season which the overwhelming talent on the team is hiding
Who in their right mind was talking about the Grizzlies being the next dynasty?
The media doesn’t think that way dude, they’ll grill you on the smallest shit. Especially because he didn’t talk with them after G5
If you’re influenced by the media, stop consuming it.
It’s also just the context of the series.
For one, Caruso may be the most impactful player this series. It’s not like SGA is dominating and making Wemby look overrated, Wemby has still been better. Second, Castle, Chet, Fox and Harper have all struggled so it’s not like Wemby is looking outclassed or letting anyone down. Third, the spotlight is entirely set on SGA’s foul baiting and falling so Wemby is still the guy people are rooting for.
San Antonio media isn’t NYC media
Hes 22. They will be begging to talk to him for many years to come.
How is next year a chip or bust lmao
Cause the year after that Wemby’s signing with the Andromeda Aces on his home world.
They’ve outperformed expectations this year. He will get next to no scrutiny this year. Following years the pressure will ramp up.
Dawg, it’s the internet. People will find a way to drag him no matter what he does
There’s no scrutiny for them they’re all 22 years old
He got that Eid fit boost he’s definitely going crazy tonight
They’re going to refer to this game as the green moo-moo game
will he do his media obligations if he does?
he might rip his jersey in half if he loses to chet again
Shaved his head again as well
Wanted to reduce how much IHart could hold him lol.
Please ball out I need a game 7 in this series
need okc to get sent packing
honestly the best business decision for y’all
Mashallah brother Wemby
Brother Wemby vs Shaitan
halal hoops incoming
Is it cultural appropriation if I buy one of these for myself? Bc it looks comfortable as hell
Cultural appropriation is some weird shit only Americans worry about.
Fair enough I’m just not tryna be disrespectful if it was like some sacred garment or something since I’m not religious.
It’s cultural for Muslims, there are variations from different countries. It’s not sacred to us as Muslims so you can wear it if you like. Most Muslims won’t mind, but if someone presses you about it, then they are just being sensitive.
it’s not necessarily religious attire, it’s just something they wear in the desert to provide natural cooling and protection from the sun/sand. As Islam started in the middle of the Arabian desert, this attire tends to be associated with it.
It’s cultural attire, it’s not religious.
Yea, outside of America absolutely no one gets offended about culture. It’s all sunshines and roses.
The phrase “Cultural appropriation” is genuinely an anti-humanity opinion. The idea that humans should have secular communities that actively avoid sharing of ideas and beliefs is the major cause of war historically.
True. The Dutch in South Africa were not at all worried about it
Not at all. Go for it.
No one will mind as long as you’re not wearing it to mock a culture.
they make for great pj’s
How is wearing this rejecting toxic masculinity?
In the west you’d probably get clowned on growing up for wearing something like this for being “gay” or a dress or whatever which is pretty in-line with toxic masculine behavior so I guess in that sense it could be a rejection.
Because toxically masculine men would probably consider something like this feminine
Is it cultural appropriation
dude stfu and just wear it
fucking hell lol
If im ever ina desert, yep, that’s my wear
As long as you aren’t mocking people or exploiting a different culture for profit, then it’s not cultural appropriation. You should be fine.
Wemby Muslim now? Or just commemorating Eid?
Wemby is the holy prophet of a brand new religion.
Sign me up, dude is performing real miracles out there.
So like how does joining work? Is there an application or something?
You must first post 5 SGA flopping memes.
Just rock the thobe and you’re in.
Wembanyam-amen
i think he’s just multi-culti, a man of good taste
just pulled up from an eid party istg
inshallah we defeat shaisis and dortghanistan today
defeat Shai-tan
And chetanyahu
Already beat DenIDF in the 1st round too. Wemby really an honorary Akh
chetanyahu too
shaisis and dortghanistan
💀
Chetnya will fall
I wonder if he shouts “thobe!” when he takes this out of his closet
When you imagine this, do yourself a favor and include the French accent
“ thobé
Kareem Abdul Wembanyama
Eid celebration 🌙
generational aura gamble
Eid Mubarak 👏🏾
Eid Mubarak
Uh oh Wemby skipped the presser because he’s been in a dark room meditating for 48 hours.
Thunder in trouble tonight.
He looks like one of those long chocolate dipped pretzel sticks you get at christmas time.
The big and too long store must have had a sale.
Wemby winning the meat off.
We outmeated shai
low bar
Cmon yall.
Slenderman
35 pts, 23 rebs , 3 assists, 4 steals, 12 blocks incoming
How’s this sub gonna react if they lose?
By calling Wemby the biggest bust since Zion.
Whatever you think the overreaction could be, turn it up to 12. There were people calling for Cavs coach to be fired after overachieving lol.
Tbf the cavs coach said some shit completely incongruent with reality, so not the same situation
You’re crazy, no one will say anything about bust no matter how he plays tonight
Well, considering I’m here, it will be with great enthusiasm
I want to see a normal sized person wear this for perspective.
You mean a normal sized person wearing the exact sized one he has on? Looking like Severus Snape dragging robes across the floor
Craziest aura gamble OAT
That shirt has to be comically long.
The amount of fabric on Wemby is probably enough to be a curtain for a sliding glass door
At least 6 feet right?
Yeah you can’t pull up in something like that and not go crazy
Wemby is for the children
This is the spiritual warfare my parents be talking about 😭
Imagine 1000 years ago, you’re having fun on your holy crusade, and that dude lopes over a wall and steps over your homie
He’s about to send OKC to jahannam
Kareem got to him
7xl t shirt
Thobe is ankle length i thought
Usually yes but idk a brand that makes a 14XL thobe, lmao
Lmfao good point
He’s a Louis Vuitton ambassador and they make a lot of his clothes. They should be able to make his clothes to any length he wants.
This guys doing to much
When you’re 7’5🫡
Is he Muslim? Or is he just vibin and locked in?
He’s not, probably just vibing for Eid
Someone just watched Kareem in Game Of Death
Damn he’s gonna drop 40+
Obi Wan Wemboni
Game 7 for sure
14 or 52 points incoming no inbetween
Thats a bedsheet
Thats a kurta

Chairman Wemby save us from the basketball terrorists.

Mfer so locked in he cut a hole in a king size bed sheet instead of picking clothes
