@@22s22ano one Lebron’s age has ever dominated as good as Lebron has these past few years… Also name a guy 7’2 or taller who was in the Illuminati or had the name Victor…. ill wait.
His ability to contest jump shots, drives and interior passes simultaneously just because of his length and quickness will be the real game changer. He essentially shuts down an entire quarter of the half court by himself. I've never seen that before.
You forgot about contesting free throws His wing span is ridiculous and he can actually meaningfully interfere with shooters on the charity strip while standing there 😂😂😂
Spurs have the worst def rating in nba history when he's off 129.1, when he's on it drops to 105.7. Opponents shoot 20% against him, the lowest in the league. If he continues and I believe he will then he's a mvp contender.
A thing that I'm really impressed by that goes unnoticed is just the fundamentals that he possesses. He does the work to get in advantageous position, not just relying on his size/length; he works to get in front of his man & present a target, takes a few beats then repositions, then smartly relocates during the action to then establish a better pass. Just high level intellect and importantly Effort stuff at this point in his career bodes sooo well.
Well, do you think that's innate ? You can thank French basketball coaches and teachers. Tony Parker had them too when he was drafted. French youngsters are taught toughly about fundamentals before they're allowed to show off with windmill dunks. (French Spurs fan here 😉 )
What impressed me the most from the very first game was how clutch he is. Being clutch is the one thing that separates the average from the greats and he has that. If he stays healthy he can definitely be up there with the greatest.
Bro the spurs are evolving into something beautiful. Poetry of motion with or with out the ball. This young team is just gonna get better one bit at a time.
I’ve never seen a first year player absolutely dominate both ends of the court. He is such a commanding presence that he already is one of the biggest impact players in the league
Tim Duncan felt the same... as did Shaq... and yes i just compared VW to 2 all timers. but his game doesn't remind me of either. his game reminds me more of Kareem. and that's not a great comparison either.
@@xavierb9061duncan was more dominant that shaq in his first year. Duncan was 1 team All NBA, 2 team All Defense, All star, 5th in MVP and 5th in DPOY in his rookie season.
He has the abilities of a much smaller power forward, the length of a center, the awareness of a point guard. I am amazed my this kid. Great things are coming to the NBA and he seems to have little drama like other stars. I am happy for him and the league.
He does not have the awareness of a PG lol. Like his BBIQ isn't bad, especially for his age, but he is not and will never be in the same galaxy as Jokic. He doesn't have to be though, he's going to be most effective off-ball anyways.
@@localneo-graphic4647lol stop Jokic is the best passer the game has ever seen not just as a center, hes better than most point guards. Wemby defo has the awareness of a point guard.
He looks exactly like footage of rookie and pre-rookie Wilt. The unstoppable combination of length, finesse, coordination and mobility. He doesn't have Wilt's powerful athleticism but he has 3 inches of height and 5 inches of wingspan to make up for it. This really is a couple-times-in-a-century physical specimen absolutely built for basketball. Growing up in the modern era with bigs expected to be stretching the floor and without crowding in the lane he's almost exactly a what-if of Wilt in the modern game.
@@Leptyzz Please don't insult me. Wilt absolutely had guard skills, he often ran the fast break and he even led the league in assists. But things were different back then and he was expected to get to work around the rim. Like I said, "Growing up in the modern era with bigs expected to be stretching the floor and without crowding in the lane he's almost exactly a what-if of Wilt in the modern game." They're comparable in that they're both impossible combinations of length and mobility and that's why they're kinda broken. The game isn't built to handle guys who are that long and that quick, and they can get their hands to the ball essentially anywhere. Wemby has more length, wilt had more strength, but the comparison is there and it isn't "Low IQ".
The way he stayed composed during the 4th quarter is the best thing about him. Most rookies, even the top picks, fold and crumble during crunch time. But not him. He is really built different.
Not hard to be clutch when you stand a foot above everyone else. Give me a 7’4 inch frame and his wingspan and I would have no problem remaining composed and super confident. It’d be a shame if this guy didn’t dominate basketball
Wemby is so skillful and elegant for 7 ft 4 /2.24 m! Moreover his shooting mechanics are top notch. But the most surprising and mindblowing things to me are how he holds his ground against strong NBA defenders with a weight of 95 kg/210 lb and how well he defends himself. What a shot blocker 🤯 This kid will bring hoops fans a lot of joy. I just love how almost every other year generational talent gets off to a flying start in the NBA establishing their own distinctive bball style, we've never seen before. The 90s were my golden age of NBA basketball, but i have the feeling we're about to witness another golden age. Steph, Giannis, Joker, Luka, Wemby and so many more....
I hope he plays a whole season man…. I love this guy… my fav. thing is that he ACTUALLY PLAYS HARD!!! He gives his all!! This the first time I’m excited to watch a damn Spurs game too💀
Wemby's got great fundamentals having come from Europe. And Pop will make him even more effective. Combine Shaq, Steph Curry, Lebron James and Tim Duncan in one player and you've got Wemby.
The refs should also start adjusting to Wemby. Multiple times in this game in the earlier ones where hacks on his arms were not called. His arms are so long and so high during his shot attempts that they fail to notice the hits made by opponents.
I have never seen a player so naturally gifted. He has size, touch, vision, and just about every intangible you can imagine. How does he have such a quick first step? It doesn't make sense. He moves like he is a 6'4" player, not 7'4". With his drive and personality, IF he stays healthy, this dude is going to win multiple championships. I would bet my house on it.
I don’t know about putting Giannis-like muscle mass since if you search some footage of Giannis’ jumper early in his career, it’s much more fluid and has more touch, which indicates putting that much weight could affect some of his skills. They need to find the right spot when it comes to that department. What I do know is that Wemby is already flexible and agile enough. Once he matures into his adult body and “see” the league once, I believe he will develop into one of the greats. Hope he stays healthy for a long time!
Because of his insane flexibility, he won't be so prone to injury UNLESS its something like a bone bruise or muscle strain, etc. Flexibility is a huge deterrent for lots of common injuries
Facts. I believe he'll have good longevity. Its gonna be annoying when he eventually picks up a unavoidable/common injury every other player gets and people will restart a narrative of him being injury prone
i dont think he will be injury prone either , but i get the feeling he will eventually get injured this season as his minutes climb up and he sees more physical play. playing him with another big is a good sign tho, since it can take the pressure off him when they go up against bruisers like giannis and embiid on some possessions. he is very light and not that strong so he will probably get pushed around a ton on post ups and screens which can be pretty bad, but i dont see him getting injured on vertical plays since he seems to be very aware of his own body, which again bodes well for the more serious injuries
Being a Suns fan this game hurt, but damn watching Wemby is something else. Just the way he commanded the ball in the last 3 minutes with no fear and crushed it. If he stays mostly healthy he may just be the best to ever play in 10 years.
I don`t think Wemby should put on a lot of muscle mass, that will put more pressure on his feet and knees, meaning that injuries are going to become a big concern. Some of Wemby`s biggest strength is his speed and agility, his length alone is enough to cause issues of opposing players.
Muscle mass in the legs will actually help prevent injury and place LESS pressure on the feet and knees because his body won't be weak. He will become more speedy and agile from muscle mass as that muscle mass will help him move better
weight training is a thing athletes do bc it helps, not only on the court but in preventing injury, him becoming stronger will improve his joint stability, will make it harder to move him mid air and on screens plus increase his bone density and muscle quality, which not only prevents injuries but make it easier to come back from them. embiid for and example had his worst injury was when he was much lighter than his current playing weight.
Wemby looks like a player you make in NBA2k. He just does not look awkward playing at that size. Usually players this tall or close just look weird but Wemby looks good out there.
Been a while since I've seen a player that I believe could win the MVP and DPOY together in one season. Kid's ceiling is greatest center of all time; goat if he surpass his potential.
Half of his dunks were and-1's of people trying to block him but only reaching halfway along his fore arm and just slapping his arm. If he got those called it couldve been easy 40+
He is doing what I expected. It absolutely irritates me the disrespect many Americans have for top Euro leagues. Those teams will crush the top college teams. The French league is an elite league with grown men many of which either played in the NBA, got drafted by the NBA, or were D1 stars. The lanes are way more congested than the NBA's more spaced out league which actually makes it hard to score and against grown men he found a way to by averaging 21.6 points as in 18 year old. The one thing I knew he had to adjust to is the NBA tempo and raw athleticism, but he is freak, so I knew it wouldn't take long for him to do it. He will be the face of the league for the next 15 years as long as he stays healthy.
I dont know if there's a rule that rookies can't be in the All-Star Game, but this kid is an automatic NBA All Star and an All NBA 2nd team, or Third Team at the least!
He is showing us things we have NEVER seen before every game. There is no way he will not be an all-star tgis season, and Spurs in the playoffs with no one wanting to play them.
As a Spurs fan, the one thing this team is missing is that "Extra pass" mentality. They all want to pass but they are still not at that Spurs level of passing where there's an extra pass that makes for an easier score. Often times guys would be wide open but missed because our player is focused on his move with the ball. Over time this will get better and we might see another version of "The Beautiful Game" from this Spurs squad
Absolutely, especially KJ has tunnel vision and tries to play hero ball during crunch time. They need to realize they should stay within the flow of the game and don’t force bad shots.
Wemby just has to stay healthy and he'll make the All Star game, win rookie of the year and it's not inconceivable that he takes the Spurs to a possible play in game at the end of the season. Love how he is aggressive and wants the ball down the stretch. He is currently 3rd in the league in clutch time points behind LeBron and Doncic. There was a reason so many teams tried to tank last season to draft this guy. MJ, Kobe, LeBron and now Wemby. We are seeing the next generational talent right here!
@@brycesmoov3313 Spurs defence per 100 posessions is 103 when Victor is on floor - that would be 7th in league. When hes not on floor its 125 per 100 which is last in the league. And this is just one man we are talking about. Think about it.
@@DiegoVaan I understand he’s a top 5 defender, but think about it what’s the last DPOY to wun with a non top 10 defense? I don’t think that’s ever happened and will ever happen it’s easily the best defender on the best defensive to ie why Marcus smart winning when everyone knows he wasn’t a top 5 defender that year
@@brycesmoov3313their defense could improve tho, its very early in the season, and he is a real difference maker on that end, his oppfg% differential in every spot on the floor is already crazy, if they fix their scheme and everyone else steps up their effort as he gets more minutes they could climb to upper echelon of defensive teams, even if i dont think theyll win that many games. their defensive rating could still make him dpoy candidate or his individual production at the very least all-defense. i unfortunately dont think he will play the whole season tho, he seems pretty durable for how thin and tall he is but rookies do be getting injured, specially high production one's
I've watch every minute of Spurs basketball this season. Wemby has like a 90% success rate when he does the Luke Kornet move when he can't reach for a block. It works amazingly because in their heads players have no idea if he can reach the ball or not cause he's so tall so him just fake going for the block from super far away still throws them off. Its insane he already does that so effortlessly when Kornet just invented that last year
MJ was drafted 1984. Lebron was drafted 2003. Wembanyama was drafted 2023. It seems like the basketball gods is sending down a generational freak of nature on Earth every 20 years 👀
He actually knows how to play off ball (which is insane), besides being awesome at everything else. Playing off ball, is usually a guard skill and you need to have good basketball iq and fundamentals. 😱
@@joeyswoosh5if it was im glad about it. Spurs are one of the few teams i trust to properly develop players. Just imagine if hed gone to the rockets hornets or bulls.
Its not crazy to suggest if the Spurs get a decent seed like 3, 4 or better... He will be an MVP candidate as a Rook...That will make him a modern day WILT....dominant.. .
With his body type and ability, Wembanyama reminds me of a young Kareem. Watch a video on here named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Highlights in his Prime/1969-1975. The difference is that Kareem played mostly in the low block because that was the style of play. But I think doing so also kept him relatively healthy and allowed him to play 20 years. IMHO, running the court in this way is going to be tough to sustain over time for a man of this size, especially as he fills out and gets stronger. Would love to see him try the sky hook. Kareem was unstoppable with that.
Shot out to spurs they’ve really done it again. Asides from wemby they have a great core of young guys and wemby is the piece that takes them to something special. All they really need is a young point guard with a bit more potential than jones imo
Hope he maintains & enhances his silky smooth jumper. Giannis had a cleaner and more reliable jumper in his rookie year than he does now. That went away with massive gains in muscle mass. Hopefully the same doesn’t occur with Wemby.
He's been atrocious apart from last night, even then, he ran the offense very poorly. Just doesn't understand the game. Sure, he can dribble and pass, but he makes terrible decisions constantly and freezes out shooters
@@milothebest98 He might have done things, but the offense was terrible with him leading it yet again, despite him running in solid units. He's not a point guard
The spurs won the lottery last summer…the only thing I’d like to say is that so far Wemby is not a good rebounder for his size…the most rebs he had was 10 but he finished other games with 4-5…
And here we go AGAIN! just like that another GOAT player, thats how all these today players become legends... with social media 🤷♂️ they havent even won anything yet and they are already calling them one of the best of all time... 🤷♂️

Often times guys would be wide open but missed because our player is focused on his move with the ball. Over time this will get better and we might see another version of "The Beautiful Game" from this Spurs squad
Absolutely, especially KJ has tunnel vision and tries to play hero ball during crunch time. They need to realize they should stay within the flow of the game and don’t force bad shots.
Love that one legged three pointer mention I knew it was coming
Wemby just has to stay healthy and he'll make the All Star game, win rookie of the year and it's not inconceivable that he takes the Spurs to a possible play in game at the end of the season. Love how he is aggressive and wants the ball down the stretch. He is currently 3rd in the league in clutch time points behind LeBron and Doncic. There was a reason so many teams tried to tank last season to draft this guy. MJ, Kobe, LeBron and now Wemby. We are seeing the next generational talent right here!
Hes offense seems to be very high level, but i'm still more impressed with hes defense. He could easily be the DPOY at rookie
Please close your legs the spurs aren’t even a good defense for that to come close to happening
@@brycesmoov3313Didn’t know dpoy was a team award, idiot
@@brycesmoov3313 Spurs defence per 100 posessions is 103 when Victor is on floor - that would be 7th in league. When hes not on floor its 125 per 100 which is last in the league. And this is just one man we are talking about. Think about it.
@@DiegoVaan I understand he’s a top 5 defender, but think about it what’s the last DPOY to wun with a non top 10 defense? I don’t think that’s ever happened and will ever happen it’s easily the best defender on the best defensive to ie why Marcus smart winning when everyone knows he wasn’t a top 5 defender that year
@@brycesmoov3313their defense could improve tho, its very early in the season, and he is a real difference maker on that end, his oppfg% differential in every spot on the floor is already crazy, if they fix their scheme and everyone else steps up their effort as he gets more minutes they could climb to upper echelon of defensive teams, even if i dont think theyll win that many games. their defensive rating could still make him dpoy candidate or his individual production at the very least all-defense. i unfortunately dont think he will play the whole season tho, he seems pretty durable for how thin and tall he is but rookies do be getting injured, specially high production one's
the product placement ads are hilariously well placed.
That extremely subtle Rudy Gobert dig. 👍
I've watch every minute of Spurs basketball this season. Wemby has like a 90% success rate when he does the Luke Kornet move when he can't reach for a block. It works amazingly because in their heads players have no idea if he can reach the ball or not cause he's so tall so him just fake going for the block from super far away still throws them off. Its insane he already does that so effortlessly when Kornet just invented that last year
1) As long as He Stays Humble
2) No Injury
3) Hardworking.
He will
That intro with the beat drop matching the dunk was haard! nice
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I tried to pause it on Rudy Gobert's face
Its insane to look at him like young gianis. Wow! Imagine the transformation he is a guaranteed monster!
MJ was drafted 1984.
Lebron was drafted 2003.
Wembanyama was drafted 2023.
It seems like the basketball gods is sending down a generational freak of nature on Earth every 20 years 👀
He actually knows how to play off ball (which is insane), besides being awesome at everything else. Playing off ball, is usually a guard skill and you need to have good basketball iq and fundamentals. 😱
His will to win is the only think that shocks me it was pretty obvious how good he was
Being light might actually help him avoid injury, just gotta train the lower bodymuscles
I'm so happy that he ended up with a team like the Spurs.
It had to be rigged, right?
@@joeyswoosh5if it was im glad about it. Spurs are one of the few teams i trust to properly develop players. Just imagine if hed gone to the rockets hornets or bulls.
San Antonio knows what they’re doing with Wemby and it’s actually terrifying
I had a nightmare after watching this game. In it, I saw Wemby in David Robinson’s body 3 years from now.😱😱😱
That Spurs fan in the Wemby jersey at 00:36 is having the time of his life 😂
i wish him a healthy career ! truly magnificent his hard work and study shows
Its not crazy to suggest if the Spurs get a decent seed like 3, 4 or better... He will be an MVP candidate as a Rook...That will make him a modern day WILT....dominant..
.
Lets judge him on his second year where teams will adjust to his game. But he looks amazing so far!
His presence itself is a threat defensively and offensively. That's scary
With his body type and ability, Wembanyama reminds me of a young Kareem. Watch a video on here named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Highlights in his Prime/1969-1975. The difference is that Kareem played mostly in the low block because that was the style of play. But I think doing so also kept him relatively healthy and allowed him to play 20 years. IMHO, running the court in this way is going to be tough to sustain over time for a man of this size, especially as he fills out and gets stronger. Would love to see him try the sky hook. Kareem was unstoppable with that.
Wemby has spectacular potential. Hoping defenses will figure out how to pick him apart so that it's fair XD
Shot out to spurs they’ve really done it again. Asides from wemby they have a great core of young guys and wemby is the piece that takes them to something special. All they really need is a young point guard with a bit more potential than jones imo
One of the few chanels that show real basketball and not only casual fans highlights.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
LeBron: looks like my scoring record is safe.
Wemby: monsieur, hold my non alcoholic beverage.
Get ready to see multiple quadruple doubles from this young man. Amazing player already!
Been waiting for this break down.
Great vid Coach
He’s so mobile compared to people his size, hoping he can stay healthy
Hope he maintains & enhances his silky smooth jumper. Giannis had a cleaner and more reliable jumper in his rookie year than he does now. That went away with massive gains in muscle mass. Hopefully the same doesn’t occur with Wemby.
That gobert diss was crazy
Can we also give Credit to Sochan for his outstanding performances as a point guard?
He's been atrocious apart from last night, even then, he ran the offense very poorly. Just doesn't understand the game. Sure, he can dribble and pass, but he makes terrible decisions constantly and freezes out shooters
@@dxfifa I think he played bad against the clippers but other than that he was solid especially last game
yea yea but hes still a subpar point guard we need a legit one . or that jones
@@milothebest98 He might have done things, but the offense was terrible with him leading it yet again, despite him running in solid units. He's not a point guard
1:37 I saw you throw in the Gobert dig😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 🤫
people really called him another Bol Bol 🗿
The spurs won the lottery last summer…the only thing I’d like to say is that so far Wemby is not a good rebounder for his size…the most rebs he had was 10 but he finished other games with 4-5…
He looks like a glitch in the matrix on the court
Manu paved the way for Wemby in a lot of ways. Because of Manu, Pop is more inclined to let Wemby be Wemby.
High IQ basketball take right there 💯
Ja gonna complain soon that Wemby broke the code
And here we go AGAIN! just like that another GOAT player, thats how all these today players become legends... with social media 🤷♂️ they havent even won anything yet and they are already calling them one of the best of all time... 🤷♂️
This man went and got the rock off the wing like hes Kobe that shit is wild to me
I've never been this hyped up to a Spurs players since Kawhi era in 2017.
#GoSpursGo
if Wemby stays healthy, there is a good chance that he will develop in one of the best big men of all time.
Best player of all time
Best player of all time.
That Rudy Gobert shade @1:38 was excellent 😂
That Colins to Jones pass and finish was so nice man
Im never too quick to conclusions. But if this guy can win, he's got a real shot in the GOAT conversation. Scary....
My favorite thing to do so far with this video is to keep pressing the arrow back 5 seconds and pay attention to a different face in the crowd.
I'll be back in a few hours still doing it.
His speed and mobility and constant movement are his best weapons against guys trying to use strength to out muscle him.
