[All-Access] Victor Wembanyama reacts as the final buzzer sounds in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Chet was terrified of him lol
$40 million a year put up 4 points in a game 7
Tbf he has to go against a mf that hates him lol. Who happens to be the best defensive player in the league š¤¦š»āāļøš¤£
Wemby wasnāt even guarding him all the time.
Chet just had no confidence
Well, ben simmons confidence was destroyed by trae young. One person can do that much damage
When youāre facing a defensive monster like Wemby or Trae, it makes sense
ha!
Which makes it puzzling that the Hawks let him go. They should’ve held unto him until the end of this season
Ben Simmons attempted (and made) double the amount of FGs that game as Chet did tonight.
Put some respect on that socialite’s name
*best defensive player ever
Why does wemby hate Chet?
The rivalry goes way back to U18 league, supposedly chet taunted him in front of his mom, not only that, he clearly despises being compared to chet in the media all the time when they are completely different animals, maybe he feels he works harder/ is better or whatever.
so the rivalry is old, but a lot of it is probably that killer mindset that Jordan had for using any perceived slights as fuel
That mindset is something else. To think that he became this defensive monster because a coach said he canāt play defense is mad lol
Spite is a powerful motivator
Different animal, different beast
It goes back to when they were younger and wemby was like 17 and USA beat France and Chet got mvp, heās been on a mission ever since .
Got MVP on much worse stat’s but the win.
Then they both kept growing but Wemby more in height and game.
I was only able to watch the highlights and chet was passive as hell even without wemby checking him.
somehow 4 points isnāt nearly as bad as 2 shots without the second best player even in the lineup
Terrible showing with Jaylen and Ajay out. He needed to step up with both of them out and no one else on the bench catching fire.
āTobias Harris over meā ahh signingĀ
It’s not just he didn’t score or get rebound, he looks like he is simply not there today. Barely take any shots, barely doing any defense.
Chet Simmons
As he should. F chet lolĀ
Mf is named Chet. I never met a Chet that I liked.
It says a lot about Chet that even in Minnesota, the moral victory state with a fierce āone of usā complex, he does not have a single fan there except his mom.
Say what you want about Chet tonight, but his performance as the monster at the end of Alien: Romulus was incredible
Shouldāve stuck to vampire hunting, smh
Why does everyone have a beef with Chet? Because Wemby has one?
Chet just doesn’t have that DOG in him
He does…it’s just a Chihuahua
Chihuahuas are the smallest biggest dawgs you could ask for. Those little demons would charge at pitbulls. They would die quickly, but they don’t back down.
An insult to Chihuahuas tbh
i genuinely don’t know if there are three humans in the world who wouldn’t be terrified of that man. LeBron, maybe Giannis, idk who else.
Curry just like the rainbow shot he had vs France in the olympics
So the greatest players to ever live? Sure! How many of those players are in the nba right now? šš¤£
Right. They asked for three names and three names were delivered.
You forget about Steph winning gold in Paris? Shooting over Wemby with zero hesitation.
I donāt wanna believe this but honestly, I can see it
Heās still sitting on the ground under the rim in San Antonio after that game 6 block.Ā
Vassell killed the little fire left by Wemby ngl
To be a Parisian today
Wemby is not even from Paris hahaha but yes good day for the French
Isnt he from the western suburb of Paris?
Like a suburb
Like a suburb suburb or a suburb
He is from the surb if Paris. Technically Paris. He is a fan of PSG.
Is he not from a Parisian suburb?
Ish, yeah. But itās not Paris proper. Itās just far enough away that people in Paris donāt consider it Paris.Ā
Iām trying to think of an American equivalent. Maybe Long Island compared to NYC? Not sure if Long Islanders consider themselves NYC or not.Ā
āIām from Chicagoā
Lives in Naperville
I love that this is always the exact example of this given for Chicago. And itās so damn true
well ain’t no one ever heard of glen ellyn or niles that’s for sure
I’m from Chicago. Cool, what neighborhood? Actually, I live in Schaumburg.
Letās go huskies
Same shit Kawhi is from āLAā but heās really from riverside.
so it’s like the los angeles angels even though they’re in anaheim
San Francisco 49ers ^(of Santa Clara)
Paris intramuros (“inside the walls”) is very very small, this is only 14% of paris’s population area. In most of the situations, you are saying you are parisian or live in Paris if you live in Paris’s area. The only case you use your city name it’s when you talk about the specific place you live with another parisian.
He’s from Round Rock France
So he’s from Queens then
Queens is a borough of NYC. Le Chesnay is its own city. Itās part of the Ile De France administrative region (state, basically) as is Paris, but theyāre two distinct cities.Ā
You said Long Island compared to NYC. Two very different things, so is Queens but somehow if you’re from NY and someone from BK or Queens makes it, it unites us all.
Yeah, Iām not American so I was trying to think of places. I figured people from NYC would laugh if someone from LI said they were a New Yorker.Ā
The basic gist is if someone from Le Chesnay said they were from Paris to a Parisian, weād laugh at them. It is however close enough that you might tell people that have only heard of Paris that youāre from there, to save time explaining.Ā
Someone from Newark
The New York Giants and Jets play in New Jersey (a different state)
wait, Paris is not France?
[deleted]
Heās Italian?!
I was surprised too
But Wemby root for PSG, and PSG won Champions League.
Not just Parisian but a double victory for French sports lovers
We consider the suburbs as Paris.
It was a special day, indeed. Savoring everything because that wonāt happen often
I was shooting (photography) a Friend’s wedding in Paris today. Our long time friend just gave birth early to her first child, the moment my friends were exchanging vows. PSG won. Got back home: Spurs won. Woke up with the best view on the entire city in front of the Eiffel tower (same view as Montparnasse Tower).
LIFE’S FUCKING GOOD BABY!!!
Fucking beautiful reaction. This is what basketball needs, less robots, more players that do it just for the love of the game
Now compare that to OKC. It’s night and day. Thunder acted all nonchalant after winning a chip last year.
Coach Daigneault said it himself in an interview this series: “the closer we are to robots, the better”
Horrible for the NBA. fuck OKC, and fuck their brand of basketball. Not sorry.
Seriously this is one of the best things to watch.
To be fair they would have been clowned on for celebrating hard right after the Hali injury last year, nobody was going to be hyped after that happened.
Fair take, but honestly they won their first chip as a core and it would’ve been totally justified for them to celebrate in my personal opinion.
I’m not even sure if that’s why they didn’t celebrate, but either way, show some heart!
They didn’t even know how to open the champagne. Caruso had to show them.
Nobody should be clowning anyone for celebrating a championship lol
That’s bullshit, celebrate no matter what. That’s top of the mountain for your career regardless of how you did it.
Less robots, more aliens with gumption.
Wemby knows what he’s a chasing. Michael, Kobe, LeBron all showed emotion after big wins. And they all were climbing to the top of the mountain. Wemby is trying to be the unquestioned goat.
Itās such a contrast from SGA whose just chasing down the refs asking for a freeethrow
The SGA statue in OKC is gonna be him on the ground looking up longingly at the refs whistle, his most iconic play
Listening to them last year talk about wanting to get another one and that they canāt stop and celebrate at one was so disappointing. Like wtf is life even for yāallĀ
As someone who doesnāt watch basketball and new to this sub every time I see SGA I think heās a 100% AI generated persona on television with zero traces of reality. He gives me the uncanny valley. I donāt mean that out of any disrespect since I literally donāt fucking watch basketball I just feel like heās the player a video game auto generates when youāre 10 seasons in and it needs new players..
And people still clown Embiid for crying.
i feel like a large part of those people that clown him for that, if not all, is doing it not so much so because of the crying. even if embiid found a cure for cancer, they’d still try to find a way to clown him for it
Thatās kind of a weird take and just sounds like another way to hate on OKC. I say do whatās genuine to you after winning. I love Tatum but after he won he was just out there aura farming with those quotes from other players lol
Sorry you cannot convince me SGA ever gives a non PR trained genuine reaction
He does but it’s only when he flops and doesn’t get a call
Preach and good luck next roundĀ
Making to the Finals in 3rd year as 1st option is beyond insane
Especially having not made the playoffs last year and not having a huge overhaul or gamechanging trade.
Luke Kornet signing was beyond fucking huge
His sub on from 6:48-5:48 of 4Q might have been the loudest minute of the game. Momentum was on the verge of swinging and he had a morale-shattering block on OKC, then peaced out. You could really see the Spurs rejuvenated after that
Yeah I hated on Kornet hard this series but that minute by him saved the game. Huge props to him
All the amazing plays made by the Spurs that game 7 and Kornet comes up with the play of the game
That block is making it to clutch highlight reels man, absolutely saved the game I swear
Kornet James
Best back up center in the league. Spurs couldnāt be more lucky.
They did have the #2 pick added to the roster. Harper is a baller
To be fair, that just shows how incredible Spurs drafted in the last 4-5 years. Wemby is obviously their superstar, but they beat OKC as a TEAM.
Wemby didn’t have some truly insane games, but so didn’t SGA. So it really came down to the other guys, and other than Caruso, I don’t think that any OKC player was better than any of the Spurs players over the whole series.
The Luka trade really overshadowed that the Spurs got Fox for a bag of chips. And he was really important in this series.
Being fair, that’s partially because of his massive contract
Yeah, another season on the Kings and I wouldnāt be surprised if he got something closer to the Trae Young treatment lol
Even as good as he is, they are on the hook for another 4 years at like $60m a year lol. That’s a rough contract, but worth it if they win a title.
Too bad he’s one year late compared to Duncan /s
We dont have the admiral but Kornet will do
All joking aside, I know Duncan played four years so came in more polished/Drob being hurt allowed him to come into a miraculous situation.. but this playoff run has been an awesome reminder how dominant of a player early days Duncan was. So many mind boggling stats Wemby has put up were the first time since āDuncan in xx yearā.
Has had me rewatching so many old Duncan playoff games from those early title runs and he just took games over.
I mean.. How many 7ā4 guys with handles, impenetrable defense, and a 3 ball have we seen? It still doesnāt seem real when I watch him play
No no no. He’s just tall.
Bro they weren’t even watchable until part way through this season. I didn’t see my first wemby game until this year. Only injury can stop this 10 year ass whippin
First playoff run btw, league actually fucked
I loved that group hug. So genuineĀ
i wanted to be a part of it :(
I got you bro š«±š«±
ay watch where your thumb is going broĀ
Til Josh Hart has a spurs flair on his reddit account
Shades of this.
Was watching with my girlfriend who is a baseball girl and has never been into basketball (although I think I might be starting to sink the hook in, she had a lot of fun watching this game). She saw this and said she was about to cry with how cute it was.
Wemby had his arms around the entire team š
It looked like a teacher and his kindergarten students.
I canāt tell if he loves winning or HATES Chet Holmgren
Yes
Does it really matter?
Two birds one stoneĀ
Mf needs to face Chet every WCF.
Real life Shohoku vs Sannoh
Didn’t expect to see a Slam Dunk reference today. Valid tbh
Damn I always cry with that manga. Its the goat
I will always stand on the belief that Slam Dunk is a love story between Sakuragi and the game of basketball.
And it’s so damn good.
Goated sports manga fr
Slam Dunk reference!!!
Minus the injury thankfully
for real lmaooo
Canāt remember Sannoh flopping. But legendary reference my guy
Sawakita wasn’t a bitch, unlike sga
Slam Dunk reference in my slandermaxxing forum? You dropped this king š
Isn’t Sannoh inspired by Spurs?
He’s 8 feet tall and yet his heart still outsizes all else.
Heās such a thoughtful dude in his second language at age 22, itās truly amazing. Wishing him the best and a great series for both teams
Thats what we all wanna see
Look at that passion and emotion. THIS is what the face of the league is supposed to be. THIS is the kind of team and players that the league needs front and center representing them, not the wretched hive of scum and villainy that the league tried pushing on everyone. Thank you San Antonio for helping the league heal, we all owe you. Now go fucking destroy the Knicks and win this thing.
This Spurs team embodies the heart of the NBA. theyāre exactly what the league needs.
Congrats big dawg. Now go get the big one
This is a side note, but Wemby can hug a lot of people at once.
What canāt this guy do!!
Use an airplane bathroom?
lmfaoooo
Wemby loves hugging his teammates and they all show love back ā¤ļø
Big guy. Big emotions.
Whatever you think of this man you cannot argue he doesnāt live and breathe this shit
the passion he has brought back to this sports man. thank you
Itās got me back! I thought I was done with NBA but his passion truly roped me back in it good dude
Face of the NBA
YOU AND ME BOTH ARE CRYING WEMBY, IT’S OK
finally no more non chalant mfs ruining the vibe, sports should be all about emotions
This. Was so tired of SGA serial killer flopping. Jokic not giving as about nba. Luka kinda too. List goes on. Wemby is saving the sport.
I wouldnāt put Luka in there. He is like a big psycho emotional kid. He cares deeply and shows it. Heās boring towards the media and his whining on court are the things though. But I definitely think heās passionat
PSG beating Arsenal, Spurs beating OKC, it’s a good day for Victor.
Not just for Vic šāāļø
Two absolutely generational hate watches completed in a single day for me.Ā
Glorious.
YOU EARNED IT GOAT
Basketball as a sport won tonight
My goat
The real MVP
#When OKC loses, America wins
When OKC loses, America basketball wins
I just love how much he unashamedly cares
big day for the french
Dude can hug the entire roster at once wtf lol
Ethical basketball,
he refuses the burden of hiding his own emotions GSG
Letās go Wemby!!
Heāll be hated next year. Mark my words lol.
He will be but in a good way. The way LeBron was or the way Kobe was. Not due to flopping or gaming the system
Yeah, or when Steph rips your heart with a logo 3
I’m old enough to remember “LeBron traveled”
He is gaming the system (by being a giant that plays like Steph)
Nah. Such a bad take. Ppl like Wemby because he competes and cares about the game. Not like many of these stars these days
Iām not a spurs fan, but this made me happy. Nothing but respect for Wemby. It was great to see him win - especially against Chet and SGA.
Im not a Spurs fan but Im glad they beat the floppers.
Can someone check Chetās diaper? I think I saw piss running down his leg a few times when Wemby was on him
Okc fans still waiting for the refs to reverse the game on a technicalityš¤£
Love the passion
Fuck OKC man. Iām happy for the spurs!
I was on the anybody but OKC finals train after the lakers got eliminated. Now at least and I can enjoy watching the Finals. Wembyās a good dude, and NYC has been having a fr drought. Iāll be happy for whichever one of them wins the finals. Wouldnāt have been able to stand another OKC win though.
with that 7’4 height and 8ft wingspan, dude look like a proud dad hugging all his children
this is the end of fake aura farming.
This team is just so damn likeable!
How do you not root for these dudes.Ā
Thats a Team!
ALLEZ LES BLEUS
Congrats Victor Tibetan Llama š¦!
I donāt normally rewatch modern games in full but Iām rewatching this one tomorrow. Wembyās dunks, Kornettās block, Vesselās dunk at the end to seal it off. Tons of good plays. Flopping overcome. Letās go.
Victor slurping the tears of Oklahomanites.
Love to see it
LET IT OUT BIG BOY YOU DESERVE THIS ISHHH
nonchalant in adversity, exuberant in success. you love to see it
Wemby saved basketballĀ
Wemby was so pumped, he grabbed half his roster with one hug lmao
