@@BHanif1996He isn't doing fine on the court though. He's had a negative BPM every year, a negative Net Rating, negative on/off numbers etc. I watched a lot of the Magic last year to root for the guy, and now he's on KD's team, which I watch all of KD's games, so I've seen lots of Bol's play. His defense is actually rather disappointing. His height and shot blocking are his main defensive skills. But his inability to stay grounded and not bite for fakes and his lack of lateral movement really hurt his defense. And don't get me started on his offense...
@@malemanjulpax2155 Wasting what... You can't waste what you don't have right? I don't mean this as a jab to Bol Bol, but sometimes ppl are just not good enough. That doesn't mean they're wasting anything right?
True. Bol Bol has no defence. The height make people think that he is a DPOY material. No. His problem is his lateral movement. He cannot move his feet fast enough to defend. He plants his legs firm.
He’s like his dad. Good shotblocker but not athletic and mobile. Just way more skilled than Manute. Due to the game changing, his dad wouldn’t be viable in the modern game due to his slow feet. 80s/90s was still a post player, big man game. So he could patrol the paint and focus on rim protection.

@@LALakers4life34Are you the same dude that hates after everyone of his games? I think I've seen you before. You need to let it go, this type of obsession isn't healthy in the slightest
by all reports Bol Bol has a bad attitude, poor work ethic, sense of entitlement and doesn't work for his spot outside of games. His potential has kept him in the league, but he hasn't done what coaches expect to get onto the court. He is inefficient and lacks motor when on the court, even in limited minutes and is a reluctant screener. He has the measurements and potential to be a great defender but constantly misses rotations and goes to sleep on the defensive end. He does not move well off ball. He creates great highlights, but if you actually watch games, not just highlights and know basketball you see that he lacks all the intangibles that make a good NBA player.
His first Rookie Debut game was game 66. He was drafted with 44th Second round. And he's equipped most of the skill set if wemby. Look at the difference in care. Lmaooo ya can't be this dunce
@@thxttiewithdavibez5825um bol bol and wemby on the defensive side is like comparing hakeems paint defense to currys Like they aint comparable at all wemby neg difs on half of the entire game lol And wemby is far more effiecent inside the arc... how are they similar just cause they tall and lanky dont mean they even close to the same game lol
Bol is a guy who needed more college and an old school coach like a Dean Smith or John Cheney. He went to Oregon where he was the focus and played half the season. Plus, his dad was an NBA millionaire, so he grew up with money. He’s immensely talented and like many talents, they take their gifts for granted.
Bol Bol and James Wiseman are the two biggest wastes of talent. Bol was supposed to be KD 2.0 and Wiseman A.D 2.0. Those projections crashed and burned.
Shaq is a good dude and I admire how he looks out for single moms who are struggling, but he definitely is speaking with his heart not his head because Bol is good friends with his son and he likes him personally. I like Bol too but he’s still trying to figure it out in his 5th/6th season and I get that he’s young but he should at least be a defensive menace even in limited minutes but he’s more focused on showing his guard skills and getting a bucket but not in an efficient/effective way.
To not see the comparison shows that all you watch is highlights too . Wemby just taller with a better motor , coach , and team that uses him . Name one team Bol Bol played on when he was needed , or was a top 3 scoring option ! Wemby is the 2nd scoring option on this spurs team , and really they go to him often as the 1st option he just can’t get good position in the post , and that’s against guards btw . So Devin Vassell opens the floor up for him . If the roles were flipped and Bol Bol played for the spurs the numbers wouldn’t be quiet the same as far as rebounds and shit but offensively they’d be similar . The spurs always had a team oriented system so Bol would either get minutes and score within the system or just not play at all like he been doin but they are the same player no matter how you look at it . Wemby is just with a coach who is arguably top 10 all time and understands how to use him .
@@lilsmokeyy_93 you literally said the biggest difference tho! The reason why they’re so fundamentally different players despite similar skill sets and talent. Bol bol has no motor. I hear too many fans saying he never had the chance to prove themselves REALLY never played a sport. He gets his chance everyday being on the roster. He gets his chance by being the guy who sees the teams best players daily. He gets to be the guy who the coaches call when they need bodies in garbage time. Also the magic gave him more than enough chances, he started like half their games, they didn’t make him the first option because of all 30 teams there’s more than 4 better players to have as a scoring option. You think teams and coaches are intentionally holding him back because they’re scared? No he’s not impactful enough to warrant having a different player in the game in place of them
Bol Bol is no Wembanyama, but he's definitely better than how he's being treated. His career 3P% is reported on ESPN as 29% and his FG% is 53%, both higher than what this video claims.
Bol bol's problem is he doesn't know how to play low post offense. and his J isn't reliable to play face up. Furthermore he struggles to stay out of foul trouble on defense. Combine all of this with his general up and down play and you get the problem with him.
@@arizona_anime_fanbut so are plenty of young players. its obvious he has potential just let him shine on a team whos not gonna win but some players just cant get that spot even tho players like ben simmons and jp
Bol Bol highlights definitely make casuals think he's on Wemby's level, but its like how J. R. Smith highlights would make you think he's one of the greatest scorers ever. They're just highlights. Social media fans need to actually watch games and see these guys play.
@@imaristotle Where did I say he wasn’t good? I said his highlights are up there with some of the greatest players ever, but he isn’t one of the greatest ever. Does it mean he was bad? No, but he is not an all-time great either. The point here was that highlights are misleading. I can tell you young or illiterate.
The difference is Bol Bol is not getting the same chance Wemby is, Wemby team is surrounding their whole team around him as a rookie. He’s getting all of the attention all the help, all the minutes, practice, these things makes a huge difference. Their play styles are very different, however Bol Bol is most definitely the more dynamic and athletic of the two. Bol Bol is more of a slasher and inside 7footer and he can also shoot a little. I would say right now Wemby is definitely the more skilled and developed, however a lot of that is because of how much attention and help he is getting. If Bol Bol got to play his freshman year he’d definitely be in different spot rn, the talent is there.
Wembanyama has the highest usage rating on a team that is near the bottom of the league in offensive efficiency. He has a good game about once a week, when the bad shots go in, basically. And y'all wet your pants. In that way, it's like Bol Bol all over again.
@@gyamjames fair points. But wenbanyama is a chucker on a bad team. His high scoring games are not worthy of celebration. The learning curve is different for him because his height can allow him to get him alot of shots. Not saying he's not going to be a very good player. Just that other chuckers on bad teams padding the point totals don't get that pant wetting.
If that's the case then that's just even worse because with such a weak mentality, he was going to get crushed eventually somewhere in the future. None of the existing superstars have weak mentalities, they work hard and prove themselves

Frank Vogel sees that Nurkic and Eubanks were getting cooked by a a super tall, super mobile rookie. He looks at his bench and sees a super tall, super mobile 5 year NBA veteran and goes “We’re counting on you to stop this guy. Get in there Eric Gordon.”
I respectfully disagree they basically the same player with the exception that one is marketable so he gets the playing time to show case his ability and the other one isn’t so he rides the bench. If Bol Bol got consistent time to play and get into the rhythm of the game he could put up similar numbers
Spurs should trade for bol bol and start him with wemby this year while they're still in rebuild wouldnt hurt anything and would certainly make the Nba and the spurs even more exciting this year
Shaq might be right. The difference between him and Lebron was, Lebron have many scorers on his team when he came to the Cavs. But he proved his talent and showed his presence earning respect from his teammates and the fans. Wemby is shining because no one in the Spurs making the shot. They traded all their Allstar scorers. If Wemby lands on a team that has 2-3 Allstar scorers, he wouldnt get the spotlight hes getting now. Just like Bolbol. Mad respect for Chet Holmgren that even though he has an Allstar SGA on his team, his showing his talent with efficiency.
The NBA is deliberately trying to destroy Bol Bol’s career, because they need Wembanyama to be the face of the NBA someday. You can’t put Bol Bol’s face on a cereal box. The fact that Bol Bol can’t get on the floor even when Nurkic is in foul trouble should tell you something. Wembanyama will soon be the biggest star in the NBA. Everything surrounding Wembanyama’s career has been carefully choreographed up to this point. We all know the NBA lottery is fixed. The NBA gave San Antonio the #1 pick, because they knew the Spurs would give him the best chance to develop into the star player the NBA desperately wants. It’s all about international money. Professional basketball is a great product, but the NBA sucks. It’s all about money, and only a few teams in the league will ever win a title, because that’s the way the NBA wants it.
Counterpoints: Bol Bol just isnt very good, thats why he cant get on the floor The NBA lottery isnt fixed The Spurs suck, if they were going to rig him to go somewhere he would go to a big market or like OKC. Wembanyama has been playing pretty terrible outside one game as well, I think he's vastly overrated when people are saying he's the best prospect since Lebron
@@oliverjames9138 The NBA lottery is most certainly fixed. I remember going to a Cleveland Cavaliers game the year before LeBron James came to Cleveland. Everyone was talking about how they were going to get LeBron, and the season wasn’t even half over. At that point in time only 2 other NBA teams with the worst record had won the lottery. Cleveland soon became the 3rd, because they would have folded had they not gotten LeBron. The building was virtually empty the season before LeBron came. I went back to Cleveland the next year during LeBron’s rookie season, and the building was sold out. The dancers looked like Lakers Girls instead of the community college dropouts they had the year before. That lottery win completely turned the franchise around. Even Gilbert Arenas has said the lottery is fixed on his basketball podcast.
IT'S ALL ABOUT VICTOR RIGHT NOW ,who cares about anyone else right now ,lets stop comparing him and lets just watch him and the player that HE is cause there hasnt been anyone like him,lets sit back and watch him in aww😊
I mean u could change stuff for wilt since he dominated the paint like a god But what your meant to do in tems of rules for a guy who jus shoots mid ranges and what not
@redhorse6652 cause how tf does banning dunking change anything You can jus lay the ball up every time instead of dunking it... I never understood this bs limited ucla rule change
Y’all don’t even make sense when Shaq compares both of them he’s talking about the fact that they both have similar skill sets specially at their heights, so yes, Bolbol is the first person we seen, regardless if it was out of the NBA or not, he was the first one we’ve seen at that height, dribble, and bring down the ball as if you was a 74 point guard
Everytime kendrick perkins claims something to be true. I start to laught this dude doesn’t know what he is talking about. It’s all about emotions for him .
If bol bol was the player y'all believe he is the nuggets wouldn't have dropped, Orlando magic wouldn't have dropped him and All the Nba teams wouldn't have passed on getting him in free agency. If an NBA team saw a young player with talent don't you think they would put in effort to get him? Instead rn he's filling out the sun's bench. Highlights are deceiving.
Bolbol chillin somewhere, catching strays on RUclips and subliminals. “The dark horse candidate 😅😅😅 then they pull up a picture of that dark horse candidate 0:41 damnnn
Bro, he does'nt get enough minutes to be effective! When you know you are not going to get the minute, it affects you when you come into the game. Let's put Bol Bol on the Spurs and see the difference with a verteran coach. I won't say it but guess why he is not being promoted!
what's really strange is how y'all want to treat Wembanyama as a good shooter from distance, despite the fact that his shooting tapers badly at about 15 feet and beyond. He is not a good shooter.
it just seems like Bol Bol doesnt have the drive to be good, because theres no way he shouldnt play atleast 12 MPG he can play great defense and can be a good spot up shooter its not that hes not getting chances the second best center on that team is drew eubanks, bol bol doesnt have drive at all its obvious.
I've seen a few comments saying this dumb shit about people needing to watch the games. It's not just here, it's everywhere. So to those who think that: I will admit, I am guilty of mostly watching highlights and skimming boxscores, but it's unfair to say that I should have to watch a full 2+ hour broadcast to see 1 guy play like ass for about 5 minutes before I can say anything about him. That said, I have common sense. If he's playing garbage time, averaging insignificant minutes (reflected on his stats and boxscores), I will come to the conclusion he doesn't perform well enough on a consistent basis to play more. From that I would gather he has a roster spot because he has potential (if he isn't a veteran with the team or league, acting as a sort of mentor on a rebuilding team). Highlights are exactly as they're called in my eyes: they highlight a player's or team's best moments. Using those in conjunction with boxscores and stats should give sufficient information. Just to be clear, I'm not defending Shaq, who really should be paying more attention to this stuff since it's part of his job, or anyone who agreed with him. I'm defending their use of time. Those people probably only have a loose grasp on the state of the NBA, and have other things they need and want to do. It's easier to accept the opinion of a great former NBA player than it is to look for yourself and come to a more accurate conclusion. It's those kinds of casual 'fans', that don't *actually* care, that are who you are addressing by saying this. That is to say, they won't be reading your comment. So I won't be watching any games to tell you my thoughts: Wemby is very different from Bol Bol, but I can see how Shaq would come to his conclusion, based on highlights. Tl;dr: All this whining about not watching games is unreasonable. Not everyone has time to watch the games. Highlights and stats combined provide sufficient info. Most people don't care enough anyway.
every one that is showing this shaq quote is wrong, you are wrong. noone let him finish and you didn't either sir. After the clip you showed (just after your cut) He said his heigth is the same, and he has some handle. But the main différence is the concistency and the bricks. Shaq isn't some random dude... How i see it, with a better coach and trainner that instead of putting him down try to elevate him and put some confidence in him he would be better. Maybe not Wemby good, but off the bench good.
NBA game is a fan sports and even marginal players become rich & popular by virtue of his looks & demeanor - marketing potential. So let’s FACE the issue honestly and refrain from comparisons.
Again and again, shaq's statement is taken out of context to mean something different than what was actually said. The entire premise of this video is wrong. Shaq wasn't wrong when he said: "Bol Bol is the first 7-foot-4 guy that we've seen come out with the handles, shoot the three's, yes. Ya'll acting like ya'll ain't never seen a guy like that before. Bol Bol is the first guy."
Wemby shooting 42% from the field and 28% from three. He also avgs 3.8 TOs per 2.4 assts. I’d hardly call that impressive. His defensive stats are nice tho I’ll give him that
Wembayama, Jokic or Doncic all played professional euroleague before being draft while americans go to play college against other kids...eventually europeans will overtake most of them
Kevin Durant plays vs bol bol, watches bol bol and lifts and study film with Bol bol. Kevin Durant said he not seen a player like Wemby. Said he is 1 of 1 meaning he is in class of his own. Durant never been one to say nice things or afraid to speak his mind. He does not see bol bol as Wemby equal. Yall stop capping
I guess Shaq could compare the 2 but his accuracy only works (arguably) prior to his foot injury. Shaq's been watching him well before the NBA when he was more mobile. I'd argue Wemby would still be better even if Bol never got injured but I could accept the argument from Shaq.
Poor Bol Bol, minding his own business at the end of the bench and still catching strays

Comparing Bol Bol to Wembanyama is like comparing Emoni Bates to KD it’s completely idiotic and futile.
Shaq jealous
Shaq is a big man hater.
It’s funny, casuals compare him to Bol Bol yet when you call them out on it, they’re like “No one is saying that bro” lol
Everybody’s a casual fan tf you talking about 😂
We need to keep glazing this man
He is glaze worthy unlike bolbol
Fr I love to glaze Wemby
@@zeepip3386 who doesnt?????
Does anybody still take what Perk says seriously?
MVP voters last year.
Bol is not getting the opportunity like Wemby. So of course Wemby will be more consistent. Give Bol the opportunity and watch how he becomes greatness
Nooo he has low motor
Bol Bol... Is Being BLACK-BALLED ... That's A "DOUBLE ENTENDRE" He Should Be Playin'
I heard Bol Bol has character issues, I am shocked you did not mention this.
I haven't heard character issues, I've heard he has a bad motor. His drive for the game isn't very strong
@@tigeryumyums9407 isn't having a bad motor a character issue?
THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!!...lets just watch him
I hope coach Frank Vogel give him more minutes 😤😤😤
I still have hope for bol bo
I respectfully disagree they basically the same player with the exception that one is marketable so he gets the playing time to show case his ability and the other one isn’t so he rides the bench. If Bol Bol got consistent time to play and get into the rhythm of the game he could put up similar numbers
Spurs should trade for bol bol and start him with wemby this year while they're still in rebuild wouldnt hurt anything and would certainly make the Nba and the spurs even more exciting this year
Shaq might be right.
The difference between him and Lebron was, Lebron have many scorers on his team when he came to the Cavs. But he proved his talent and showed his presence earning respect from his teammates and the fans.
Wemby is shining because no one in the Spurs making the shot. They traded all their Allstar scorers. If Wemby lands on a team that has 2-3 Allstar scorers, he wouldnt get the spotlight hes getting now. Just like Bolbol. Mad respect for Chet Holmgren that even though he has an Allstar SGA on his team, his showing his talent with efficiency.
the wemby hate has been crazy even after good games
Yeah that was bound to happen he has so much hype around him so people gone hate em and dissect everything he does.
the way the Joker just started running down the court after Bol shoots was cold
They just both over 7’ and skinny wemby is a different breed with his size he literally plays like a guard
Put sum respect on Bol Bol
I'm going on Shark Tank with a business where we ask Kendrick Perkins to make picks, then we bet on the opposite.
The NBA is deliberately trying to destroy Bol Bol’s career, because they need Wembanyama to be the face of the NBA someday. You can’t put Bol Bol’s face on a cereal box. The fact that Bol Bol can’t get on the floor even when Nurkic is in foul trouble should tell you something. Wembanyama will soon be the biggest star in the NBA. Everything surrounding Wembanyama’s career has been carefully choreographed up to this point. We all know the NBA lottery is fixed. The NBA gave San Antonio the #1 pick, because they knew the Spurs would give him the best chance to develop into the star player the NBA desperately wants. It’s all about international money. Professional basketball is a great product, but the NBA sucks. It’s all about money, and only a few teams in the league will ever win a title, because that’s the way the NBA wants it.
Clyde Drexler claimed the NBA kept the Portland Trailblazers out of a third Finals. Drexler was as good as Jordan, but didn't have as good coaches.
@@redhorse6652 My dad played golf with Clyde once. Said he was a good guy.
Counterpoints:
Bol Bol just isnt very good, thats why he cant get on the floor
The NBA lottery isnt fixed
The Spurs suck, if they were going to rig him to go somewhere he would go to a big market or like OKC.
Wembanyama has been playing pretty terrible outside one game as well, I think he's vastly overrated when people are saying he's the best prospect since Lebron
@@oliverjames9138 The NBA lottery is most certainly fixed. I remember going to a Cleveland Cavaliers game the year before LeBron James came to Cleveland. Everyone was talking about how they were going to get LeBron, and the season wasn’t even half over. At that point in time only 2 other NBA teams with the worst record had won the lottery. Cleveland soon became the 3rd, because they would have folded had they not gotten LeBron. The building was virtually empty the season before LeBron came. I went back to Cleveland the next year during LeBron’s rookie season, and the building was sold out. The dancers looked like Lakers Girls instead of the community college dropouts they had the year before. That lottery win completely turned the franchise around. Even Gilbert Arenas has said the lottery is fixed on his basketball podcast.
I do agree with Shaq here, Wemby is like a 10x better version of Bol Bol.
Context is the most important and underused aspect of sports
With all things being equal, the difference between the two players is one has a pale-skinned European mother and one doesn't! Call a spade a spade!
IT'S ALL ABOUT VICTOR RIGHT NOW ,who cares about anyone else right now ,lets stop comparing him and lets just watch him and the player that HE is cause there hasnt been anyone like him,lets sit back and watch him in aww😊
As an Orlando Magic fan, I can confirm he didn’t have any consistency and other than blocks, he can’t play D for love nor money.
They will just change the rules if he dominates too much like they did for Wilt. Theyre not going to let one guy break the game.
I mean u could change stuff for wilt since he dominated the paint like a god
But what your meant to do in tems of rules for a guy who jus shoots mid ranges and what not
While at UCLA Lew Alcindor (Kareem) almost never lost a game. The NCAA outlawed the dunk because of him. But that didn't stop him.
@redhorse6652 cause how tf does banning dunking change anything
You can jus lay the ball up every time instead of dunking it... I never understood this bs limited ucla rule change
BOL BOL wasnt even the first to have that skill it was his father who held a record of 7 3 pointers in a game for a while
What an amazing perspective along with comparison
7:29 , now thats crazy Emanuel 😂😂
Y’all don’t even make sense when Shaq compares both of them he’s talking about the fact that they both have similar skill sets specially at their heights, so yes, Bolbol is the first person we seen, regardless if it was out of the NBA or not, he was the first one we’ve seen at that height, dribble, and bring down the ball as if you was a 74 point guard
The one thing I find internally screaming at the top of my lungs is wemby is still 19 years old.
Everytime kendrick perkins claims something to be true. I start to laught this dude doesn’t know what he is talking about. It’s all about emotions for him .
this is the video Wemby deserved and needed
Thanks
If bol bol was the player y'all believe he is the nuggets wouldn't have dropped, Orlando magic wouldn't have dropped him and All the Nba teams wouldn't have passed on getting him in free agency. If an NBA team saw a young player with talent don't you think they would put in effort to get him? Instead rn he's filling out the sun's bench. Highlights are deceiving.
Bolbol chillin somewhere, catching strays on RUclips and subliminals. “The dark horse candidate 😅😅😅 then they pull up a picture of that dark horse candidate 0:41 damnnn
Bro, he does'nt get enough minutes to be effective! When you know you are not going to get the minute, it affects you when you come into the game. Let's put Bol Bol on the Spurs and see the difference with a verteran coach. I won't say it but guess why he is not being promoted!
what's really strange is how y'all want to treat Wembanyama as a good shooter from distance, despite the fact that his shooting tapers badly at about 15 feet and beyond. He is not a good shooter.
This is the best video I've watched comparing the two.
Kendrick "It's The Opposite of Whatever I Say" Perkins
PREACH JIMMY
All Shaq said is we seen a guy like this before. He didn’t say Bol was as good or better players. Said nothing about their talent.
Thank you for actually paying attention!
it just seems like Bol Bol doesnt have the drive to be good, because theres no way he shouldnt play atleast 12 MPG he can play great defense and can be a good spot up shooter its not that hes not getting chances the second best center on that team is drew eubanks, bol bol doesnt have drive at all its obvious.
Bro almost hit his parlay
A $100,000 dollar suit? That suit? Hell naw!! It look like his mama made him that suit!!!
Whats gong with the commercials, they dont the skip button anymore it took me 20 mins to watch this video
If you can’t be good with Joker than you can’t be good anywhere
Bol bol has never actually been given a resl true chance to be him he needs the right coach to actually use him like he needs to be
The title mentions Wemby but the content is 95% Bolbol.
The difference between them is their basketball IQ, Bol is trying hard to pad his stats and forgeting how to properly play with his height.
Manager should have done marketing for him
I've seen a few comments saying this dumb shit about people needing to watch the games. It's not just here, it's everywhere. So to those who think that:
I will admit, I am guilty of mostly watching highlights and skimming boxscores, but it's unfair to say that I should have to watch a full 2+ hour broadcast to see 1 guy play like ass for about 5 minutes before I can say anything about him.
That said, I have common sense. If he's playing garbage time, averaging insignificant minutes (reflected on his stats and boxscores), I will come to the conclusion he doesn't perform well enough on a consistent basis to play more. From that I would gather he has a roster spot because he has potential (if he isn't a veteran with the team or league, acting as a sort of mentor on a rebuilding team).
Highlights are exactly as they're called in my eyes: they highlight a player's or team's best moments. Using those in conjunction with boxscores and stats should give sufficient information.
Just to be clear, I'm not defending Shaq, who really should be paying more attention to this stuff since it's part of his job, or anyone who agreed with him. I'm defending their use of time. Those people probably only have a loose grasp on the state of the NBA, and have other things they need and want to do. It's easier to accept the opinion of a great former NBA player than it is to look for yourself and come to a more accurate conclusion. It's those kinds of casual 'fans', that don't *actually* care, that are who you are addressing by saying this. That is to say, they won't be reading your comment.
So I won't be watching any games to tell you my thoughts: Wemby is very different from Bol Bol, but I can see how Shaq would come to his conclusion, based on highlights.
Tl;dr:
All this whining about not watching games is unreasonable.
Not everyone has time to watch the games.
Highlights and stats combined provide sufficient info.
Most people don't care enough anyway.
every one that is showing this shaq quote is wrong, you are wrong. noone let him finish and you didn't either sir. After the clip you showed (just after your cut) He said his heigth is the same, and he has some handle. But the main différence is the concistency and the bricks. Shaq isn't some random dude...
How i see it, with a better coach and trainner that instead of putting him down try to elevate him and put some confidence in him he would be better. Maybe not Wemby good, but off the bench good.
Bubble Bol Bol was something else, love saying that.
NBA game is a fan sports and even marginal players become rich & popular by virtue of his looks & demeanor - marketing potential. So let’s FACE the issue honestly and refrain from comparisons.
Again and again, shaq's statement is taken out of context to mean something different than what was actually said. The entire premise of this video is wrong.
Shaq wasn't wrong when he said: "Bol Bol is the first 7-foot-4 guy that we've seen come out with the handles, shoot the three's, yes. Ya'll acting like ya'll ain't never seen a guy like that before. Bol Bol is the first guy."
It's because they don't want the tight defense on the court. It's sports ENTERTAINMENT. This is why march madness will always be better ball.
You Laugh but Bol is shooting 100% this year (1-1)
More we talk more we're wrong ! That been biger when we talk about exceptions.
The NBA hold people back there's a certain players that don't want to make a name for themselves and I don't know why
Title correction :"Why Are They Doing This Bol Bol "
Wemby shooting 42% from the field and 28% from three. He also avgs 3.8 TOs per 2.4 assts. I’d hardly call that impressive. His defensive stats are nice tho I’ll give him that
Wembayama, Jokic or Doncic all played professional euroleague before being draft while americans go to play college against other kids...eventually europeans will overtake most of them
5:00 why’d you show an Oregon state logo while talking bout the ducks
Kevin Durant plays vs bol bol, watches bol bol and lifts and study film with Bol bol. Kevin Durant said he not seen a player like Wemby. Said he is 1 of 1 meaning he is in class of his own. Durant never been one to say nice things or afraid to speak his mind. He does not see bol bol as Wemby equal. Yall stop capping
What have been the perfect game to see what bol is about
I guess Shaq could compare the 2 but his accuracy only works (arguably) prior to his foot injury. Shaq's been watching him well before the NBA when he was more mobile. I'd argue Wemby would still be better even if Bol never got injured but I could accept the argument from Shaq.
So your saying this is what will happen to wemby?
Guess what? This Wemby character is a media cartoon. The experienced NBA players have already figured it out.
Aged very badly
Bo' bol looks bizzare as fvk
Bol Bol is a player like Wemby,but more experience and the negative politics of the NBA make Bol Bol invisible.
Wemby is what Giannis wishes he could be 🤣
I love wemby in the NBA, he’s honest and humble, but a unit on the court at the same time. Gonna be fun to watch him more
Man that prize pick ad was too long for my attention span😅
It's only one way to find out. Put Bol in the next time Sun's play the Spur! Or do the League have their hand in it to preserve their next Superstar?
Wanna bet? A million on Wemby😉
