Victor Wembanyama Accidentally Slips While Playing Soccer With The Community
San Antonio almost saw their future crumble right there
It’s alright bcs knowing the Spurs, they would just tank for one year while he’s sitting out and fall ass backwards into another generational prospect lottery 🤷♂️
Mohamed Dabone would be a nice addition
Him and Mason Mount need to have a fight for athlete with the most pornstar name
Magic Johnson exists
Evan Fournier?
Don’t Google
Richard Fitts
Grade-A Dick still wins
Huge Penis played back in the 50s I think he still might have it
why did i google this LOL
“huge penis NBA” in the search history is crazy
Making Mount is pretty good, but no shot he beats Mo Dabone.
Rod Fanni
Mount took one hop in the boxing ring and got injured
Coin flips heads, you get the #1 overall pick the next season. Coin flips tails he gets upset and requests a trade to the Clippers.
Wemby requesting a trade to Lakers instead will be the worst timeline. And Lakers are due for a new elite big to join them to follow Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Gasol, Dwight, Anthony Davis
that would be disgusting lol
Genuinely the new Shaq and Kobe
Euro Shaq and Kobe
Shacque and Kobé
Pau?
Oh please please please
Tanking doesnt work anymore but honestly they have the perfect team for these new rules.
You’re talking about the luckiest franchise ever
San Antonio will find a way
An absolute guarantee that tanking would work for San Antonio
Don’t ever doubt San Antonio’s luck when it comes to the lottery.
Smh. We all know its true too
“Do the Spurs have the best FO in the league?”
Is a there a Timothy Victor Robinson available in the draft next year?
Motherfucker looks like Bambi on ice doing anything besides basketball
I’d suggest anyone who can to see him live and watch him on the bench. He deserves to be called the alien
imagine walking the street of San Antonio at night and seeing this dude coming out of the shadow
Even playing basketball he looks like that at times. I think he’s only gonna get better, health willing.
Still incredible how he can move that frame with such fluidity tho
Their GM’s butthole just puckered so hard it probably took a bite out of his seat
Let’s be honest, we would be more shocked if LeBron had a career ending injury than we would if Wemby did.
That hairline is receding pretty far back, any more and he could be done.
Didn’t you see? He finally shaved it all off and showed it publicly on the red carpet on 7⁄16.
Should freeze him in carbonite and then thaw him out each September. Would prolong his career to Lebron or Lowry years.
he did a bicycle kick 2 summers ago and I screamed “wtf are you doing!!” at my screen hahaha
For the love of the Game Pain clause
Spurs fans don’t look
Spurs FO don’t look
- Wemby
I’m neither and my heart sank
Pop just fell to his knees in an HEB
Knicks fans look again
Almost took himself out of the 26-27 season.
Top 3 draft pick incoming.
Would be for the kings.
AD strained his eyes watching this clip and is listed week to week
AD held his breath watching the clip and now has deep abdomen strain
i dont think it was going to be limited to only 26-27 season
“LeBron’s gonna win it all, might as well take a year off.”
He falls just like a giraffe lol
Like Bambi on ice
Just way more expensive
He does everything like a giraffe. Like a French, Chet-prolapsing giraffe.
You often think about prolapses, unprovoked?
Every time I see it happen to your max center. Which is every time he plays San Antonio.
Why are you talking like your team didn’t collapse in the finals? lol
I wonder if he drinks water like a giraffe too
Gotta be something in the contract that says he can’t be doing this stuff lol
Guys don’t stay in shape by not exercising. Nothing about playing a friendly game in soccer is inherently more dangerous than any drills where you’re stopping and starting, which is pretty common. Or, you know, playing basketball.
Tell that to people who shit on Andrew Bynum for bowling lol. People expect athletes to cover themselves in Bubble wrap during their off seasons.
people legit think athletes are figurines or some shit it’s tragic
athletes are figurines
So we should put them in jars?
Imagine a mint condition Kawhi?
Psa 10 boardman
Certain jar owners would probably like that
The difference is Bynum was recovering from a serious knee injury at the time.
Bynum hurt himself bowling, no one gave a fuck that he was just bowling in his spare time lol
If he was bowling in his strike time it would be a different story
OK i get what you’re saying but Bynum is a crazy example cause dude was hurt for like 4 years
go back and look at his injuries. Many were straight up just horrible luck. Kobe literally fell straight into his knee which resulted in an MCL tear in 2009, It was a freak accident through no fault of Bynum’s. Also, Bynum played through a significant knee injury (torn meniscus and hyperextension) that he rightfully should have had surgery on and missed the playoffs due to. It’s something that many Laker fans forget that he did. People act like his injuries were all self induced like the bowling incident.
Playing sports is allowed but iirc Jay Williams got his entire rookie contract nullified because he actually did something he wasn’t supposed to do which was to get on a motorcycle. He also ended his career so maybe he should’ve listened but at least he’s doing much better for himself so I applaud his comeback.
His cohost was clowning him the other day and saying “hope these rookies don’t get on a motorcycle, right Jay?” I had serious second hand embarrassment just watching
wow 2nd overall pick played 1 season
Williams was not wearing a helmet, nor was he licensed to ride a motorcycle in Illinois, and he was also violating the terms of his NBA Bulls contract by riding a motorcycle.[7] Williams’ injuries included a fractured pelvis, a severed main nerve in his leg, and three torn ligaments in his left knee, including the ACL. He required lengthy physical therapy to regain the use of his leg
Jay Williams
Generational own goal, ngl. He got in the league at an okay time too. A 10 year career would’ve earned him a good amount of wealth.
Playing any sport with randoms is inherently more dangerous than training in a controlled environment
I watched the game. Nobody is challenging him. Didn’t see any contact at all.
Yeah imagine the fallout from injuring someone like Wemby with an ugly tackle. You’d have to be a psychopath to challenge him as a random playing a friendly pick up game
Doing drills in a controlled environment is just as dangerous as this LMAOOO reddit sports players baby
This is just a 22 year old kid playing soccer. I remember when I was a 22 year old kid playing soccer…pluck ye flowers while ye may.
These athletes 100% have clauses in their contracts that prohibit them from playing certain sports.
Mahomes for instance is prohibited from playing pickup basketball in his contract.
There is excersising and then there’s playing sports. I’m sure they don’t want him playing soccer.
[deleted]
I mean, for me as a fan nothing
If I had millions invested in his knees and ankles tho, or If I was a Spurs fan, I might get a bit nervous watching dudes tackling him in a friendly football game lmao
The higher chance of foot, ankle, and knee injuries that can happen from tackling and contesting
Nothing, as long as you don’t have 100 million dollars on the line for your NBA team.
They can play sports outside of contact NFL football.
It’s mostly doing Xtreme Games type shit. Going on ATV’s, snowmobiles, basically any activity that can cause instant death or leg amputation even with safety equipment.
Good thing he’s playing football then.
Okay, then waive him lol
Played a lot of basketball and football throughout my life but I play soccer just a couple times and completely destroyed my ankle in one of those games. I’ll be it Wemby has probably played enough soccer to know how to protect himself somewhat but still the risk of injury is going to be higher, relatively.
Edit: yeah the “I’ll be it” should be albeit. While we’re at it, there should be a comma before albeit not a period. Kind of a mess of a run on sentences too
“I’ll be it” is some prime /r/boneappletea content
Lmao, my brain just made it “I’ll bet”
Bit rude to not tell them what they actually meant to say no? For anyone confused, it’s meant to be ‘albeit’
Soccer has the highest rate of injury of any sport due to the number of times you make sharp cuts and games lasting at times over 100 minutes. Not to mention heading the ball etc.
Assuming this scales to professional sports, soccer is the most dangerous for girls/women but the 4th most dangerous for boys/men. Behind American football, Lacrosse, and Wrestling. Just barely more dangerous than basketball.
healthysportindex.com/report/safety-analysis-report/
Soccer has the highest frequency of acl tears among all sports though. It is probably the last thing I’d want to hear my teams face of the franchise doing.
This is obviously a very casual game. He’s not exactly putting his body on the line vs Romero and Otamendi here.
Something something rainy cold Tuesday in Stoke
Highest rate of energy?
[removed]
Also, doing it in basketball shoes on a court is way different than cleats and wet grass
Edit: also is he not even wearing cleats?
Yeah I don’t think he’s even wearing cleats or anything.
There’s exercising and there’s playing sports. At least in football, there’s clauses saying players can’t play x in their downtime because of the potential for injury. Its cute now but imagine dumping so much money on this guy only to learn he’s out for the next year on a potential career changing injury cause he got into a freak accident in soccer
His contact probably has clauses on not doing dangerous activities such as parachuting from a plane.
But playing a practice soccer match? Nah, it just looks like he got clumsy for second.
It would be like if Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic, and LeBron James were forbidden from playing golf due to a clause in their contracts. Can’t see that happening.
It’s not the same as that at all. Wemby isn’t taking a fall like this while golfing
Imagine Wemby’s clubs
He’d have to use a roof rake
Yeah I would want him far far far away from any type of soccer activities lol, that sport is notoriously harsh on your lower extremities in all aspects
I almost cried bro Wemby please be safe baby girl
Lmao wild
Is he not wearing cleats?
His custom cleats in size 25 didn’t come in time for his spontaneous game of soccer
He can just strap two of the kids to his feet.
You don’t need cleats on this surface, that’s mostly for grass
It’s turf no? Honestly it’s slippery than grass
There are turf “cleats” without spikes. He could be wearing those. Personally never saw the appeal
As long as he’s not at MetLife Stadium
Or near a power station
They gotta do something about the turf
France’s best soccer player
Deschamps is a FOOL for not bringing the French Peter Crouch to the World Cup
This was mild. Not even worthy of a post tbh.
Real ones know when Wemby attempted that bicycle kick last year
Everyone saying the same dumb jokes like he doesn’t fall almost every other game. I hate this sub
Bold of you to assume that people here watch games.
True, played soccer all my life. Never saw nobody getting hurt in a similar situation as him.
Same recycled 20 comments 🥱
my life flashed before my eyes for a second there.
he falls every game relax lmao he’s fine
I blame turf.
It was absolutely the turf. A lot of these people in the comments don’t play soccer on turf, and it shows.
He isnt using proper shoes
Literally 2 hours ago I had this exact same slide happen during a pickup soccer game in 3 month old copas. Turf is garbage
How does this affect wembys aura?
ITT: reddit GMs would lock their players in a bubble all offseason and never allow them to exercise for fear of injury
The Community
Annie’s boobs.
As long as he’s playing casually it’s probably a net positive in terms of injuries that he plays soccer - different sports will make your body resilient in all sorts of ways, like when a freak movement happens in basketball it might be a more common movement in another sport which your body has become accustomed to bracing or protecting against
This guy can do the splits, I don’t think he was ever in danger
the man should be playing goalie
man that would be so fun
first 2 years seeing Wemby fall almost always gave me a heart attack, but now, seeing how durable and flexible the guy is, I’m confident that he is fine whenever he falls.
And?
Wow all those reddit doctors are on the chat spamming what should a quarter billionaire must do to keep his paychecks coming.
And that’s the last time he will be playing soccer during his NBA career
Like Bambi on ice.
that hurt my knees
I think that means he’s safe. I don’t watch baseball tho
“Yeahhhh, so we’re going to need you to never get on a soccer field again” - Spurs Front Office
He just took a (potential) pay cut to help build the team. Hes given enough already
This guy should feast on set pieces though fr
my heart stopped
This will cause heart attacks
Stretched vid here making this mfer look even more alien
Getting Patriots running back Robert Edwards flashbacks.
Wemby could get nutmegged by a whole person
I feel like the most undiscussed part of him is how stupidly flexible his joints are. This should be an extremely scary fall and he just gets up. His ankle will go sideways and he’ll just be fine.
Might want bubble wrap that dude!
Last year he did a scissor kick in the off season
He really likes to induce fans with anxiety
AS A SPURS AND BASKETBALL FAN DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING PLAYING PICK UP SOCCER CMON ON DUDE
He’s gonna be getting a talking to.
Contract voided.
I’m surprised his contract doesn’t have clauses that would prevent him from participating in these things
But black dynamite I sell drugs to the community
You’d think his contract would have him be prohibited from doing shit like this.
If you get hurt from something like that you were gonna get hurt soon anyways from something else. He’s fine
This is why he does all that stretching, so things like this do not become injuries
People, that have never exercised in their lives, think this was dangerous in any way, lmao
In other news: Wemby broke a nail
It’s called Football, not soccer
Is he wearing basketball shoes? Come on Wemby what are you doing
Spurs fans saw their entire franchise future flash before their eyes
Ok that’s enough soccer please and thank you
Yo wtf Wemby can you chill.
Those don’t look like cleats
Bruh why isn’t he playing goal keeper lol?
Dude doesn’t have a “love of the (world) game” clause in his contract does he?
A Yankee who busted his knee playing pickup basketball (which was against his contract btw) was literally the reason how Alex Rodriguez ended up playing for the Yankees lmao
another fun fact, that guy is now the manager of the Yankees lol (although he might not be for long at this rate)
You know it’s okay to say his name.
He’s a basketball player not a soccer player why is this shocking
Wemby in his own head at this point
He didn’t elbow anyone in the throat???
WEMBY IMMEDIATELY STOP AND GET OUT THERE
Jay Will get off the bike!!!
Game over, everyone go home!!
Everytime i see him play football(soccer) i just hope i dont have to wake up to the news morning with a injury.
I thought players weren’t allowed to partake in any activity that could jeopardize their body like snowboarding.
Nike this is not looking good for your cleat sales cause…how?
Unless we wanna admit now that he got Bambi legs
Wait why isnt he the goalkeeper??
Spurs FO, Spurs fans and Flightreacts shall not see that clip
drills only
San Antonio almost dropped to their knees
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I am not convinced Spurs front office is okay with this
