Kevin Garnett Speaks on Wemby: “I would love to work with big fella, but this generation has a preference on how they want to workout, and I have to respect that.”
We got young French bigs in mn KG you don’t gotta mentor the opps
I would love for Joan to go to the KG School of Leverage.
Joan and Rocco are just in the facility everyday, get in there Ticket!
KG is the man. Where do you think the fans rank him as a MN sports legend? I can’t think of anyone who’d be higher? His loyalty to the team was unbelievably awesome.
Probably behind Kirby (because titles) and Moss (because NFL), but that’s about it.
How you gonna leave 9 off that list?
Didn’t Adrian Peterson have some insane years with the Vikings? I feel like he’d up there above KG too just because NFL is king in the U.S. In my experience if a city has an NFL team that’s the one most people in the city want to see win a championship in.
Like Cleveland was ecstatic to see the Cavs win, but if Browns ever figured it and won a super bowl I think that city would go absolutely fucking crazy lol.
All depends, we just saw the opposite where the NBA team was clearly the team the city was yearning for (Knicks) and the celebration was far bigger than anything the Giants ever had.
No way long term that those Giants players are more beloved than these Knicks.
And AP got an MVP, as a running back, AFTER tearing his ACL. Came within like 8 yards or so of breaking the all-time rushing record too. Those Vikings teams were largely dogshit and he still put up crazy numbers for a decade.
Like, Kirby Puckett?
Probably him, cause the only other Kirby I know sucks
He’s actually pretty decent in Ultimate, still nowhere near his glory days in the 90’s though.
He also blows, though
For Wolves only, probably pretty high if not right at the top. But across other sports he’s also competing with the likes of Mauer, Moss, AP, Maya Moore, and others before you get to the old heads like Tarkenton and the Purple People Eaters.
When talking strictly Wolves it is genuinely an insult to say “probably” at the top. He is GOAT of the team with a significant distance to 2nd place
Yeah like who would you even say is second maybe Kevin love maybe ant but he’s only been here shortly and if you compare them it’s easily KG
Easily ant then kat at 3
Randy Moss and KG are 1a and 1b for most people, and others would probably have Randy at number 1.
Randy was an excellent player and most of his off-field actions are related to the ownership of the Vikings before the Wilfs bought the team.
How do y’all feel about Kirby Puckett? I always loved him, and I feel like 10x all star who spent his whole career in the city and brought championships including a legendary World Series walk off homer has to rank him super high unless y’all just don’t care about baseball
Kirby easily tops, that’s what happens when you die young. Buuuuut… he’s already fading, young folks don’t know about him or the championships, which is what happens when the franchise doesn’t maintain at a high level.
Older fans probably have him at 1, but that WS was quite a while ago… I’m 35 and was only like 10 months old during that WS, I have far more attachment to Moss and KG.
The face of the Twins for my generation was Mauer.
Wasn’t Puckett on 2 World Series Winning Teams, 1987 & 1991?
Also, surprised no one has mentioned Cris Carter or Harmon Killebrew.
Randy Moss was a god in cleats when his head was fully on. Never seen a WR make things look so easy.
KG is walking out in the first 5 minutes once he sees Gobert try to catch a pass
[deleted]
I know reading isn’t big in America, but OP said French bigS, plural
now tell me how many French bigS that the Wolves have excluding Gobert
Forget Joan, what about Rocco?
Joan got more potential and has shown more in his play time
KG don’t fuck with the Wolves like that and it’s time we accepted it as sad as it is.
That was all because of Glenn Taylor and he still spoke with players just didn’t come to Target Center. The deal just became final in the middle of this last season so Glenn is no longer involved. He was at Target Center this year, he’s getting his jersey retired next year and will have an official role (probably honorary kind of thing but still).
He’s going to have a job with the franchise starting this season. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47345176/sources-garnett-reuniting-timberwolves-court-role
Seems weird for him to want to work with a player on a different team.
You can hardly call Gobert “young”
Equivalent
It would be funny if Wemby says he’d prefer to work with Duncan
Even funnier, says he prefers to work with Dirk.
If you want to be a dynamic shooting big, then yeah why not? Work with both and mix and match
At the very least, he needs to learn Lamarcus Aldrige’s bag
Promise to re-sign in San Antonio and then bail on the team to sign in Portland because he’s jealous of Castle/Harper?
All three top 3 pfs, Duncan, kg and Dirk have been exceptional shooters.
Dirk is on a whole nother planet from Duncan and KG shooting wise
no big shoots as clean as dirk
duncan cleans both in fundamentals and floor iq
kg plays like draymond at times and lebron at times, one a kind wild card player that wears down anyone covering him long
Calling Timmy an exceptional shooter is deranged behavior
Like if you’re specifically looking to learn an elbow bank shot then maybe, but if he qualifies as an ‘exceptional shooter’ then how bad do you have to be as a shooter to not be an exception
Duncan was many things, but an exceptional shooter he was not. He had a nice touch and we know about his bank shots. But nobody was worried about his jump shots.
You are correct but in the clutch he was money.
Or Dallas’ legend, Shaquille O’Neal
Nah Shaq is a Celtics legend
That’s why they call him The Big Shamrock
AKA Tex Johnson
Have the Mavs pissed off dirk enough with the Luka trade for him to teach their in-state rival’s superstar his one legged fadeaway? I’m sure KG could teach Wemby a lot but if he had that Dirks sig shot that would be terrifying
He might end up having a more Dirk like personality in the end.
I think he absolutely needs to work with Dirk
If I was Wemby I would train with whomever I can get my hands on… Dirk, KG, Duncan, Dream, Ben Wallace, Dikembe… LaMarcus Aldridge…
Hope you’re sitting for this, big dawg…
Even funnier, says he prefers to work with Mugsy Bogues.
He already has
Has Vic said he prefers Timmy as a mentor over KG specifically? Or is it because Tim is literally connected to the spurs and it makes more sense for him it be mentored by Timmy specifically?
Wemby should train with Duncan, Garnett, Hakeem and Dirk this summer for sure but has he said he prefers one to the other..?
Tim Duncan lives down the street from the Spurs practice facility, and is involved with the team on occasion. He even had a short stint as coach when Pop was gone, before deciding he doesn’t want to go into coaching full time.
Wemby also trained with Hakeem last summer.
If Wendy learned legit skills from Dirk and Duncan, he’d be terrifying. In the past, I’d say Dirk wouldn’t mentor a Spur, but he might these days.
lol KG actually says in the video he “heard” Victor and Duncan aren’t as tight like that.
I don’t think Tim Duncan likes doing the mentorship/coaching stuff in general. Like, you hear Spurs players talk about getting advice from Manu and David here and there, but never Tim lol.
He clearly doesn’t want to coach, and want to enjoy the rest of his life.
I’m sure Tim would answer Wemby’s calls if he wanted to pick Tim’s brain but actual coaching? I don’t see that at all.
I respect that honestly because sometimes when you’re a former great player it doesn’t exactly mean you’re a great coach/mentor.
If you look at all sports generally, the history shows that great players don’t equal great coaches. It’s typically your “barely able to make the league” type guy who excels in coaching.
Yup, the guys that can’t rely as much on natural talent tend to make the best coaches because they’re forced to break the game down very analytically and understand it in a way that’s digestible to everyone regardless of physical ability
LeBron can’t tell his team to be a 6’9 freak of nature and just outrun everyone in transition. Jokic can’t tell a mediocre role player to just hit the same passes he does
For the true elite the game comes so naturally to them that it’s hard to break it down for an average player
Gretzky wondering why his players can’t just do what he does
That’s straight up why Thierry Henry failed as a coach.
He was so much better than the players he’s coaching he just doesn’t understand why they can’t do what he wants them to.
I do wonder what would have happened if he was able to start at the top like Zidane, maybe if he went to Barcelona he would be better because at least those players are close to his level.
I think those are two not so good examples here, cuz both of them have been coaching their teammates a ton, constantly communicating with their team mates and breaking down plays.
Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr, etc.
Young guys just need to start playing StarCraft
nah timmy just doesn’t like french men; but spurs kept bringing them in
It takes a long time for Timmy to warm up to the french.
its funny r/nba thinks Kobe is an asshole for ignoring Lin but Duncan gets glossed over when Tony Parker said Duncan ignored him his entire rookie season despite Tony starting 72 games and averaging nearly 30mpg
I mean considering how Tony moved I don’t blame Duncan.
I mean Parker was known to be a dick i thought
French guys are often cocky and annoying.
“Almost.” “Nice try.”
Nah, kwame Brown
If I was a high-potential student, I’d want access to all the teachers.
Would be funnier if he said he’d prefer to work with Ray Allen
KG: “This generation soft af”
Stephen Adams was talking about it the other day too. A lot of the stretch 5 centers really just suck at rebounding. They don’t do any of the dirty work to get positioning to ensure they get the rebounds. They just rely on size at the rim.
People like to crown this era more talented and better than previous eras when reality is they’re just talented in other areas and lacking in things that would be considered fundamental 10 years ago.
Box outs and screens suck a lot in today’s league. Watching half these wings and guards try and make an entry pass into the post is painful as hell. It’s late, off target or just not even made because they second guess it. You have embiid sealing off a 6’8 wing, there should be no hesitation just give him the damn rock
God damn you ain’t kidding. Watching the Bulls try to make post entry passes to Vucevic for the last decade has driven me to drinking.
Okay I already drank but fuck man they couldn’t throw a simple pass to save their fucking lives.
Watching the Bulls try to make post entry passes to Vucevic for the last decade has driven me to drinking.
Tbf, watching Vuc for multiple seasons can also lead to drinking
I think the bulls the last decade might also be the lowest bar possible for an entry pass
Nobody even sets screens anymore you just run up to the defender and fully shove them with both arms
The victor screens in the finals were driving me crazy. He didn’t set a single legal screen in 5 games
All rule enforcement in the NBA is vibes at this point. On offense they all travel, carry, set illegal screens, push off, and flop. On defense they’re bear hugging off ball but if they breathe on the ball handler it’s a penalty.
10-15 years ago they said the same cuz everything was iso ball
10-15 years ago was the Heatles era and the beginning of the GSW dynasty. You should know this since the Spurs were playing the most beautiful offensive basketball ever seen.
Yup. A lot of them trying to be KD in a big’s body
Then what was it about KD that made him KD and not a big?
I’m not trying to argue. I’m asking this from a point of curiosity because I don’t understand why he wasn’t just a traditional center, because he was 7 ft?
he didn’t want to play down low or defend bigs
part of why he claims to be shorter than he is
Same thing with AD, he hates playing center. KD and AD are both elite scorers and they like the graceful aspect of ball and not grappling in the paint being shoved every possession
KD is a guard in a thin centers body. I already called him the original Steph Curry, no reason to bring him on the block when had a handle and a shot like he does.
I’m pretty sure KD basically grew up playing the guard/wing. Unlike most his size he has much better speed + handling. He ended up developing much better as a wing than big as well. You can play him comfortably 2-4 position though.
KD never misses, had an elite handle and wiggle for his size + his speed/agility at his peak was 1of1. None of these guys can move like peak KD.
Fluidity
I’ve always felt like the stretch 5 is largely a myth (since Raptors fans have been bitching about one forever).
Yes, they exist, e.g. KAT, old Brook, Al Horford, etc., but that vaaaaaast majority of them are just super tall wings that aren’t good centres and not very good wings either.
A centre’s purpose is to: protect the rim, defend other centres, and convert easy buckets. You know what’s better than having your centre outside 3 shooting 35%? Cleaning up easy buckets with a 70% FG%.
The terrible box out technique is only surpassed by the shitty screen setting.
No a five, but this is JJJ to a T
Lakers have have two 7 footer that are allergic to rebounds
He ain’t wrong, and at least he was nice about saying it. Garnett usually tries to be fair with the current players (unlike someone such as Shaq).
Agreed. On that note, shout out to KG and Hakeem because they always seem to be most active in working out with the young gun bigs and truly wanting to help them out in their development
did u watch the NBA finals?
We watched Wemby get pushed around by OG, yes
And the spurs guards couldn’t throw a lob or entry pass to Wemby even when he had a much smaller defender. Shit was painful.
Victor needs a guard who will make the game easy for him
Chris Paul, and he was available for cheap
OG makes a gajillion dollars because he’s one of the strongest dudes in the league. Someone with Wemby’s high center of gravity is pretty helpless against someone like that. That doesn’t make him soft at all
^ Eaton’s rolling over in his grave rn reading nephew takes like this lmao
Shaq loves wemby
He does, but constantly shits on the new generation of big men, particularly Gobert and Jokic he was always disrespectful and petty about them.
Wemby is more of an exception then the rule.
Well he kinda flip flopped on Jokic iirc
He always loved Jokic. This sub just cried when he was honest with him saying he would vote another player mvp over him.
There’s also an undercurrent of envy with Shaq. On more than one occasion, he’s lamented about how much the current players get paid compared to back in his day.
For sure. His insecurities always show up on his sleeve despite him trying to cover it up. Hes not called mr sensitive for nothing thats for sure.
Well almost everyone is a Gobert hater and came around to Jokic I think but yeah he defaults to hating on big men
there is nothing soft about this nba outside of foul baiting. honestly in many ways it is more physical than before. this finals was the most physical finals i can remember since ben wallace was in it. and it was more physical than most of the ones i saw before ben.
Im unsure how to put this exactly, its not quite “soft” as much as it is babying the ball handler. the rise of the elbow into the defensive player being accepted. First the NBA accepted the modern step-back, and then they allowed for the elbow push off into a step-back. it creates a product that isnt less physical but the physicality is certainly designed in a way so that the end result is higher points.
The threat of a 3 made the NBA more physical by itself. When I watch games from the past they don’t push and crowd players at the 3pt line like now. I mean the spurs had teams starting possessions at half court with 14 seconds left
Yeah he aint wrong tho
KG: I don’t speak gen Z
Why did I think he already worked with KG?
I think they talked but didn’t actually physically workout together.
Thanks and thanks for not being a dick about it.
thanks for not being a dick about it.
I love how I’m like, “what would have to happen to make someone thank others for not being a dick? Oh nvm I’m in r/nba” lol
https://youtube.com/shorts/yXLD240v3Xg?is=iQJhkFw7eLpZOzt6
Because he did.
Literally immediately says his workout was done when he showed up 😂. All they did was talk
Thank you, yes I remember that clip of KG talking about it. I wonder if part of Wemby just sitting there listening like he was listening to headphones it partly because he’s trying to understand the English too.
Hopefully they can link up again, he seems like a good and willing mentor and also I just love to hear how KG is so excited and optimistic for the young guys.
I cdve sworn there was some kind of pic out showing them preparing summer work outs last year
The coaching staff needs to draw up more plays to creatively get him the ball closer to the rim. Screens, pick and rolls, swinging the ball around and not rely on him to bang around the paint like he’s Shaq. That’d get him injured quickly.
Wemby isn’t a good screener
I didn’t notice this until the finals. He really fails to make good contact is super aggressive trying to slip or roll too early. He will get better, but it was noticeable.
Same. I don’t recall seeing a guy set screens with the palms of his hands except when Chappelle played Prince.
That or he just 2 hand shoves people.
That shove to Brunson lmao
He’s too lanky to be a good screener it seems
Don’t think this has anything to do with it. He avoids making body contact, pushes with his hands, and rolls way way too early. He knows the screen is for him to get open and acts like it. If he would just sit into a screen and actually give his guards that half step a screen is supposed to give you then he’d have 6-10 more points per game imo. It’s wild how bad his screening is.
I kinda think his lankiness is why he avoids making body contact though. Those rib shots and any other hits he takes look painful with how little padding his body has. And it might be the worthwhile business decision for him, most superstars these days find ways to lighten their load/wear like this.
Id be worried about a guard running into his knee honestly
It takes a lot of effort to screen well. He just doesn’t have the strength and conditioning to do everything they’re asking him to do. Which makes sense because he’s freaking 22 years old. A lot of these issues will simply be better just by having more time in the NBA and being older.
Think about what people are expecting him to do: Be a free roam safety on defense covering the majority of the half-court, push on transition, set screens on offense, be a play-maker, take late possession shots, create his own offense.
It’s actually wild how anyone thinks he should be better than he already is.
That ain’t no excuse. You wanna be seen as one of the all time greats? Expect more from yourself. Work on it. There’s really no fucking excuse for him not to be better at that.
Knicks tagged him aggressively on every roll to the basket. I don’t know how many teams did this in the playoffs, but it’s certainly a blueprint moving forward until Wemby can be more effective at pick and pop from midrange.
This was OKC’s plan too, the issue was that they could only do it with IHart & Caruso. If you browse the Spurs sub from that series there were people pointing out that NY was capable of playing that style better with their bigs & how NY was the worst matchup for that reason.
If you look back at the Spurs post-season you’ll see that same pattern in every series. It very quickly became a game of how much illegal contact you can get away with, which would turn into a fight because the spurs are young & undisciplined. New York was the only team big enough to actually win effectively with the gameplan, the rest were punished enough by the physicality of the young Spurs playing football that they couldn’t maintain the tempo & strategy only to be punished once they gave up. Game 4 was the Spurs doing just that until they gassed themselves trying to put NY away; any other team folds there, but the Knicks had the skill and size to punish the Spurs for doing exactly what they did to every other team.
Wemby needs 2 step slashes & alley oop plays; these defenses are only going to play him bigger, and he needs low energy quick moves that don’t play into the fight in the paint that would gas him on defense.
He has a very high center of gravity, so he’s actually at a bit of a disadvantage to most players when they get tagged.
Yea they were good at denying him the ball anytime he got to the paint. They’d instantly throw 2 bodies at him.
I think the Spurs need to utilize his length and quickness rather than expect him to be Timmy 2.0 on the block. Get him the ball down low quickly and have him quickly shoot over defenders instead of bang In the paint. Also draw up some lob plays and have the guards throw it up to the point where only Wemby can catch it.
He wants to be KD. Post play isn’t sexy
You dont think they’ve tried?
KGs point about core strength is a good one. He has to get better at holding position.
Actually, Wemby needs a midrange to be dominant. KG, Duncan, and Dirk all had a go to midrange shot they could go to.
NBA about to ban all communication between Wemby and Kareem, don’t let this man even google a skyhook stg
Dirk would be the model.
From the nail Dirk could see the whole floor. He could then back you down to the block, or face up and pull you back, or fade away and shoot. There was no coverage you could run on Dirk from the nail he couldn’t counter and Wemby would be 1 freaking step from finishing at the rim
Man, that photo they really made it look like they were both working out, been gaslighted for a whole year
Wemby picked KG’s brain, but it wasn’t a workout. Wemby’s workout was done by the time KG arrived.
Yeah KG’s been talking about wanting to work out with him for a while time, but it seems like Wemby isn’t interested and KG isn’t trying to force it
gaslit?
Gaslittened
I watched the Lakers/TWolves 2003 series this past week and my god was KG awesome. You guys can try and tell me that guys are more “skilled” now all you want, you’re wrong, but you’re free to say it in this country. But ya know, guys actually being allowed to shoot in the mid range opened up a lot of creativity scoring wise and seeing KG’s 19 foot fallaways is one of the prettiest things basketball has to offer. If Wemby had that in his repertoire, let alone the face up mid range game, he’d essentially be KD mixed with KG. Wouldn’t even be fair to be that good on both sides of the ball.
I saw some draft takes about “Dybantsa could be like KG but with a jumper.” It’s like people never even saw him fuckin play.
This generation thinks just because you can’t shoot threes like the modern day stretch bigs that means you don’t got a jumper not realising that guys like KG used to kill mfers with their midrange and that shit looked nice going in too.
stars are still allowed to shoot from mid range, it’s role players that usually don’t. we just watched brunson score a lot from mid range.
SGA is mid game too during their finals last year. It’s refreshing. Variety is the spice of life
KG is not representative of his era. He was an outlier, literally one of one
He absolutely was not an outlier when it came to his mid range/post game. As an overall player, yes, an outlier. But Jermaine O’Neal, Chris Webber, Duncan, Dirk, David West, Pau, Zach Randolph, etc were all bigs with beautiful mid range games. Absurdly skilled players.
Elton Brand, Antonio McDyess, Rasheed Wallace, Abdul-Rahim, Chris Kaman, Brad Miller, Karl Malone, Rick Smits, Yao Ming, Amare Staudamire, Mehmet Okur, Carlos Boozer
Yeah, buddy. The game I love.
imagine a team with wemby and kg as their frontcourt
Minnesota KG was one of the best ever. Just overshadowed by Timmy just because he had a shittier team.
I also rewatched the series and just wanted to give a shout out to Troy Hudson, absolute green light for first 3.5 games. But yeah nobody will convince me KG wouldn’t absolutely dominate the league with better supporting cast like Duncan or Kobe.
Chet gotta work out with him man.
Chet might have trouble putting on weight but be could absolutely strengthen his core like KG is suggesting. I remember playing scrawny looking dudes in high school ball that looked like they would be push overs but were actually strong as fuck in the post because they had core strength.
Feel like all the incentives are there for him to be able to. He probably grew up a KG fan, being from MIN, and obviously has the ability to reach out to him now. Chet could really open his growth as a player taking from KG’s style and physical conditioning. With the obvious criticism being how much he got pushed around this year, developing a Big Ticket physicality with the tools he already has, he would be a monster.
That said, only Western Conference team I want KG working with is the Wolves, need Joan and Rocco to take defense from both KG and Rudy, but all of their offensive game from KG.
kg teaching wemby how to use his length in the post would be scary for the rest of the league. the way he’d pin and seal before even catching the ball was underrated. wemby doesnt need to be a traditional back to the basket guy but learning those positioning tricks would take him to another level
I agree with the core development. Wemby often appears to be catching his balance and becomes really bendy which as he gets older will impact his back. That and lower body strength to hold his ground as I’m not sure the refs are going to allow him to set screens with his hands like he does for much longer.
Wemby gonna start shooting long 2’s
Its funny how there are Wolves fans who think KG actually gives two flying fs about us.
Why make it about the timberwolves?
Chet needs a therapist after these playoffs.
Wemby worked out with Jamal Crawford. I think he’s more interested in his perimeter bag, not so much anything inside the paint
I fear if KG mentored Wemby he would become more insane. People can’t even be normal about the I’m in your head moment
God I would love for Chet to work out with KG. This almost sounds like an invitation since he knows Wemby isn’t going to.
Chet needs to get some muscle. I’m not sure he would even replace Mitchell Robinson on the Knicks
Now all these losers who hate Wemby are giving him pointers in the comments lol
KG scared of Shaolin Temple
Can he work out with Chet??
Wemby thinks he got it all figured out
How many more years does Zion get to be included in the young star with potential?
Social dynamics of who to work out with aside, wemby seriously needs to work so much on not only strengthening but learning to move through his core. He’s always going to be lanky and a bit baby deer like in his movements and that’s ok, and a lot of his best current abilities on the court like controlling and finishing lobs with one outstretched hand and recovering defensively to get the block are taking great advantage of things he’s already excellent at like flexibility and timing. But when it comes to the entire huge aspect of the game of setting screens and getting and maintaining advantageous position both offensively and defensively, yes, his center of gravity is high, but you can just tell that his core isn’t strong enough and he doesn’t know how to move through the core. Really has to improve this or else whenever it’s playoff time he’s going to always be gassed + relegated to receiving the ball far away from the basket + fighting usually unsuccessfully for good rebounding position and getting less than 10 rebounds despite being 16 feet tall.
you know wemby is the face of the league when this sub wont stfu about him after the season ended. holy shit dude
Love KG and consider him an all time great, but ironically, his low post, bully ball game was one of the few aspects of his game that wasn’t elite in that era (with his frame you can’t blame him!). Man had the fluidity of a guard, it’s not really reasonable to expect him to be able to easily seal Shaq and even Duncan. Of course he still had other ways to score more effectively (facing up, fadeaways, spot ups, etc).
Imo. Wemby should emulate Dirk, particularly the high post skills the most. U don’t need insane positioning strength unlike the low post. Get it from there, one leg step back or be the offensive hub for cutting teammates.
Why does this sub think that Wemby will ever be the shooter like Dirk? Dirk shot a career 38% from 3. Wemby shoots a career 34% on way more attempts.
He’s a very mediocre shooter, he should stop trying to be KD and start being a big man. Bang in the post, get stronger, use that height of his.
Too skinny for that to be a banger down low. He’d need 50+ lbs more muscle to do that. His inside scoring now is mainly from rim rolling from the pick and roll cuz that’s when he can avoid being bodied. This is not considered a go to move in the clutch.
If he wants to be the best player in the league, he needs to master a high post game cuz it fits his body frame(as it is) the best. He ain’t Shaq or even freaking Bam Adebayo in the low post and never will be.
He’s still young enough to develop as a shooter but he would have to start by being disciplined in his shot diet imo.
Atm hes shooting pull up 3s, catch and shoot, off the dribble, step backs, off balance.. and he’s inconsistent with all of them.
I get what you’re saying regarding 3 point shooting. However, with his frame I don’t think he will ever be a “bang in the post” big.
Better yet, why not call up that other Spurs legend - Lamarcus Aldrige?
“Soft”
Why? He has Tim Duncan and many other Spurs legends that carry less baggage than KG.
He wants some of those $500k Olajuwon checks
Wemby is already so much stronger than when he first entered the league, so whatever core train he’s been doing seems to be working.
Forget Dirk fadeaways and shit he needs to find whoever helped Yao develop that hook shot. That shit was so quick and automatic, and absolutely punishes the smaller defenders that teams try to stick on him.
