When I grow up I want to be him (I’m 35)

Have mercy on the league if wemby doesnt win it all 

The MVP vote has turned into a hostage situation

He’s media trained in competitiveness it seems

Vince Carter was looking around to make sure that the mob was still under control

I dare you not to give Wemby MVP again

I enjoy how vocal and emotional he is. He’s definitely gonna say something “wrong” soon and the media and this subreddit will turn on him, I’ve seen it happen before.

And I’ll be backing him when it happens!

He’s gonna be out here imagining Chet using slurs like KG did to people lol

“It became personal for me.” - Victor Wembanyama.

Bro is out here treating his emotional regulation like a secondary character build for a RPG.

yall remember that clip in the Last Dance where Jordan was mad that Barkley won MVP in 1993, and used that as motivation in the finals against him? idk just reminded me of that

Wemby is the fans MVP

When he gets a thought provoking question, he answers so in depth.

He got that MJ “and I took that personally” to him.

The whole time watching this I felt like Melo, T Mac and Vince were realizing why they never won

Look at Wemby man. So inspirational.

That attitude, especially at his young age, is SO inspirational. I cried when they won last night! I’m 28, never watched basketball until a couple years ago, but Wemby turned me into an NBA viewer lol. His poise, his maturity, his humility… he’s a force to be reckoned with and I’m so happy I get to watch him grow as a player in real-time.

Fuck OKC. 

He is always so introspective, and I love it. He’s a fine young man, as the old folk say.

Hakeem watching David Robinson getting the MVP trophy before dismantling him flashback

It’s so refreshing to have a star player actively showing they care and not being nonchalant about everything.

He wasn’t even second in voting lol

This guy is a psychopath and here for this fucking battle big time

The hats keep reminding me of the 2001 Diamondbacks hats

He wasn’t even 2nd in voting for mvp stop it

Yes…Let the hate flow through you.

Sith Lord Wemby confirmed.

My man is tapping into that Mace Windu Vaapad

I worry the amount of energy and emotion they put in to beating OKC will leave them a bit under prepared for the next battle. I could definitely see the Knicks taking game 1.

Spurs in 5

I like that Wemby isn’t too PR trained like the league wants him to be.

Nice of Melo to finally dress up

It seems rare for people at any level to admit jealousy like this even though most if not all people feel it

He’s a fucking psycho like Jordan and Kobe. Lord have mercy on this league

His emotional maturity is phenomenal.

Knicks…you know what to do whispers hard foul

Doesn’t Carmelo ask him “how did it feel to come in here and beat the champs?”? I didn’t find any mention of MVP in the video.

spoken like a true monk

Wemby talking like a sith.

Shaq did this too. I like Wemby more tho

He didn’t win the MVP because he didn’t deserve it.

Guy who finished third in MVP voting: 

Vince Carter is almost 2 meters tall btw

It’s scary that he is only scratching the surface of his potential offensively. 

Just a reminder that this kid is only 22.

passion, love

Lets say that it’s the finals game 7 in crunch time. If Wemby starts kissing Castle, not a single defender will be watching the ball, leaving Harper open for an easy 3. Would Wemby and Castle be called for a techical, or would the points count? The rules say technical fouls relate to unsportsmanlike behavior, but I don’t see how this is unsportsmanlike

craptors in 4

Dude is wise beyond his years. Hard not to like someone that talented and yet humble and introspective.

If he loses the Finals there’s a legitimate chance we’ll see him go Super Saiyan next season.

Sensei

The only way another team can win is if we give wemby every award

He’s absolutely the best role model and leader. We’re witnessing greatness.

Wemby, let it be known that Knicks defeated us in the IST. Use that as fuel! 

the emotion wemby used was hatred

Amazing

Bro just watched mob psycho

He’s beatable right now

If you don’t get him this year or (maybe) next, the only thing stopping him for the next decade is health

I took that personal

Seriously this is like when Tony Soprano went to therapy. He made it ok to go

this is giving me KG vibes man

this guy should be a therapist

I have no problem with this and any long time OKC fan should have no problem with this because Westbrook and KD were both some petty ass hardcore competitors. Westbrook would get so heated it would impair his performance. You wanted him to be just fired up enough to be killer but not so fired up he would do too much.

Well I hope he never wins regular season mvp

MJ approve this on a personal level

Wemby has a shot at being undisputed goat if he stays healthy. As Good as LeBron or Jordan were the tools wemby has on disposal and being drafted into SAS he can end up winning 10 championships.

I’m happy that I feel like we’re moving away from the era of fans fictionalizing and idolizing players not caring, and hating on players for expressing their desire to win awards

The amount of people who glazed up a guy like Jokic for not giving a shit was nauseating, especially since if you watch him it’s clearly not even true. Bro is highkey a hothead and you don’t develop an absurd blend of skill and stamina without putting in tons of work

if he loses finals

he is going back to shaolin monks this time for 2 months against the 2 weeks of last time

and then it will be full on dragon+alien energy

Just let us get one my goat and then ill roll out the red carpet

If we’re being real there’s no world where he doesn’t win it every year for the next decade as long as he qualifies.

Lmao, no shade but, has any of these 3 other HoFers ever made it to the finals?

Edit: Tracy has, with the Spurs in 2013, on the bench.

Wild to see wemby reach there so young, while these 3 HoFers never really reached that level while each one has been a menace in the league, one time or another.

How’s he so articulate man

Why tho? he was never going to be the MVP this season. Shai deserved it. Jokic was the runner up

This guy is gonna become the most hated person in NBA very soon. He likes to listen to himself too much. And i cheered for Spurs.

ok but he shouldn’t have won MVP anyways so why is this a story lol

reads like “KAT says MVP snub is his motivation for Championship”.

Petulant teenager

Yeah, Luka shouldve gotten MVP. Period.

Thats so fucking corny and this sub is going to hate his ass in 2 years when he starts dominating
