Harper on Thompson’s block of Wemby:

“That’s a freakish athletic play. I mean, that’s one out of a million times that I think anyone’s going to do that.”

Dont worry Wemby, the only other person that may be able to replicate that block is in the other conference.

No shit. You’re 8 feet tall

I mean, Amen is in position to contest a dunk too.

TBF Amen is on pace to be a generational defender.

“Should’ve dunked it”

IMO He lost his balance on that play, he lost that battle with Amen on that play after he caught the ball. So instead of thinking he would’ve dunked, he should think how he should improve the physicality and post-up

The problem is that this is not the first time he has reached this conclusion—yet, match after match, he seems to forget it!

nobody mentions that Amen lead the league in Total Rebound by a non-center last season.

Interesting conclusion to come to for the 7’5 guy

SHOULD have. Hang on the rim kid. What game are you playing? Finesse isn’t going to cut it at 7’6”. You put the defender in the rim.

Are we ready to have the conversation that Wemby isn’t just going to run through the NBA as an unstoppable force? I don’t even like the “we’ve never seen this before”. Ralph Sampson and Wemby have similar builds and both played more like forwards than centers. Is Wemby more athletic yes, but that is just the evolution of athletes. Too much hype and he won’t live up to it.

Wemby on what he would have done differently move-wise vs. Thompson at the end: “I would have made the shot.”

If he had let the ball go downwards (Blake Griffin throw dunk), it would have been goaltending.

But all of us were shocked that anyone could block him in that situation. Happened very quickly.

Amen’s a DPOY candidate, so it’s not at all surprising Wemby’s gonna get blocked. He’s one of the few who can

Fake to jumphook. Thompson would have never been even close to block it. Wemby needs better post moves

You can be tall but at the end of the day. The rim is just 10 ft. Anyone can time a block even on a tall guy

Time was ticking and Wemby thought that he might run out of time if he held the ball longer. Great block but a dunk would have avoided it. Its ok though this is fuel for Wemby

Water is wet

He would have blocked that too. You have baguettes for arms and legs Wemby

Honestly if Wemby and the spurs just committed to feeding him a steady diet of dunks and oops they win every game

Blocked by Sengun

Blocked by Thompson on the game winner.

Bro’s reach is like 13 feet compared to the rim being 10 feet, Bro should be dunking every possession he’s in the paint like Shaq did. But he’s built like wet noodle and gets dominated in the paint by much smaller defenders.
