@@marwansharara239 nah chet is here to stay. im a spurs fan but i rock w chet he could really be a top 15 player itl at his peak. Wemby could be the goat so no comparison though lol.
@@johnwild8217Im a big Luka fan and already was backen then and yeah the comparison kinda reminds me of them. But imo Chet is way more efficient and he has a lot higher ceiling than Trae. Wemby on the other hand is certainly gonna be a generational talent Like Luka
U think Luka is a generational Talent. Luka is very very good scorer that's about it. Wemby is somewhat a full package. If u going to be generational talent u need to be a all rounder,@@great_Caligola
I think Chet would shine the best as a second (at least third) option on a contender just like he is right now on the Thunder squad, but love to be proved wrong. I see Wemby more the Giannis type and the leader of the team, while having a great shooting point guard that could feed him the ball.
Sad but true. Looks like they are aiming for some draft picks… Great team effort in this game. Nice to see that everybody delivers and that they aren’t falling behind that much when Wemby is off court. Great game by Collings as well.
This is the solid proof that spurs are tanking. If they can win against the number one team, it means they can win more games than what their record shows.
@@mpicewe3023 FYI my guy… I been saying it since before the season and when he was struggling. Now fast forward he is proving me right. Wow bet ya didn’t know that huh?
@@mpicewe3023 No prediction… it’s already over… said he would win ROTY all season long. Did you? Or are you just getting back on the bandwagon within the last couple months.
can't wait to see Wemby with a decent starting PG running the show... SA got the blueprint: get an elite 3 and D wing, a floor general + hit ONE SINGLE pick on the draft and they good for the decade.
I get Tre Jones isn’t a star but he is very good nonetheless, very underrated. Doesn’t make many mistakes, almost at all, he finds who he needs to find then hits the shots he needs to hit. He might not be able to collapse defenses on his own or create his own shot like better guards but it doesn’t mean he’s not good.
Tre Jones Is sneakily a top pg. Very rarely makes poor choices, has a float game and has amazing vision. He offers alot of what Trae young would except Trae is a scoring machine in comparison
It's insane to think that I'm at an age that I've been a Spurs fan longer than Wemby has been alive. I was 18 years old when the Spurs won their first NBA title against the Knicks.
I've been a Spurs fan since I got a David Robinson card in 1990 and saw how jacked he was lol. They've won the most games in the league since 1990! 5 championships in 22 straight playoff runs. I thought the best dynasty in sports had come to an end. Then we got the number 1 pick VW and a bunch of future draft picks. 🎉
Chet is doing great, but like we said, Victor’s a different beast. He’s the cornerstone of his franchise, and makes winning plays. Chet’s a great player though, terrific player.
Chet is more than obvious to be a great cornerstone for a franchise. Wemby has the potential to be like Bron like Mike. But that's not the reason to call Chet a role player, he is much more than that.
As much as Chet is a good player, can we stop the debate for the ROY now please? Wemby going Gandalf on Chet at the end was a sight to behold, "You shall not pass!"
Let's offer a moment of silence to all Chet ROTY apologists. Wemby buried that hope once and for all. That 3pt shot and subsequent block on Chet was clutch. Wemby ROTY without a shadow of a doubt💪
I don't now but Sochan might have had some troubles outside of court for the last 2 weeks that was disturbing his game with poor shooting and stat contribution, but this game he was finally back to his high level, playing hard, efficient and taking responsibility in the fourth quarter. This is the Sochan we want to see with consistency
its laughable how u anime nerds only just started watching basketball 2 years ago all of a sudden know ball 😂 get fuckin real bro SA wont sniff the playoffs for the next 5 years
Estos jóvenes novatos para ser tan altos , se desplazan muy rápido, son muy coordinados, sin lugar a dudas van a ser protagonistas en los próximos años, ojalá tengan buena salud,
Deep 3s in Chet's face and then to block him like that... If there was a debate, it's over. Wembanyama is ROY and I can't wait to see how much better he gets.
We know Wemby is monster, Chet is so good. Last year Holmgren is injury but this season, he play so good. Next year we will see level up of Chet Holmgren and we will know Wemby lead the Spurs to be monster team ❤
Easily one of the best teams to grt behind this season. As young as Okc are it feels like this spurs team is even more green. Sochan and vassell play their hearts out. Vassell shoots w no fear, sochan can lay the ball up at a freakishly high level and is always hustling. If they can continue to build around these 3 wow what a team theyll be in the next years.
Wemb didn't just block the ball from chet, he grabbed it 💀 that seals ROY of the year. It was a nice ride from chet trying to compete with a dude that comes from another galaxy
I think Wemby has the hands of a soccer goalkeeper in the mindset because it is very uncommon for him to grab a ball too many times. He has a defensive mind of alertness and instinctive reactions about the flying basketball from shooting or lobbing.
He did play soccer as a goalkeeper whan he was younger : that's the reason why he has both hands, fast arms and a good ball trajectory reading. His mother (who is a former pro baller and an actual BB coach) chose to make him practice as a goalkeeper to prepare him to BB. We see the results.
Chet was making moves and showing out in the highlights. But Wemby just outpaced him in numbers, hit bigger shots and made plays when it counted. great game!
This is what Pop's team can do when he releases the leash. People are bashing him for not using Wemby enough, but Pop has been giving Wemby the green light only during the first half for most games. Is statement games when Pop sets the team free like this one and the Lakers one, everyone can see their abilities. What kind of monster this team would look like next year when they get another two top 10 draft pick end of season?
Freakish. A dynasty in the making. This fixture might be one of the best in the years ahead. Sochan is developing so well and is starting to have confidence in his play, and vassell is as good as any shot creator combo guard in the league. If they could get a Trae young to accompany tre Jones they're gonna be so fun to watch and probably a play in team come late next year. All else they'd need is a really solid 3&D wing who they can probably find in the draft
@@adolfBBC You're right. Most people forget that Sochan is only a 2nd year player and Vassell is still on his rookie contract. Signing Trae would be a step back. He is valuable only on one side of the court. Whenever his shots are not falling, he is unplayable. Every championship team is locked on D come the playoffs. If Spurs were to trade with Hawks, getting DJM back would be only sensible option.
@@sleepyheadz another arguement to that is wembanyama alone defends at such a high level you can afford to have a smaller guard who gets blown by alot. Definitely would be an easy coaching adjustment come playoff time but wembenyamas ability to basically defend the perimeter from the paint is in my opinion a green light for Trae young to come in. It'll cost them piss all and if anything will help wemby stay healthier and will rack up Ws in the reg season. Trae is averaging 27-10 for this hawks team. He'd get at least 8 assists a night from lobs to vic. It's really a no Brainer as he fits their timeline and they'll still have draft capital and young players. If they get Trae young, they can even play sochan at the 1 during those defensive sets. While I do see what you're saying I think in today's nba, unless you're the top 2% of your position in defensive rating you're always better off looking towards an offensive talent. Might lose a lil on the plus minus individually but the kind of nights Trae will have hell be responsible for like 30 - 50 points a game week in week out. I don't care how small he is, in this nba that is priceless. They'll still have pieces and picks to trade for up and coming stars going forward also. I'd like them to look at jarace walker from indy as he's struggling for mins, they need an athletic two way sf who can assist sochan in creating chaos. Super excited for the team nonetheless. To add - having an excellent offense tires out good defenses and good offenses. Like the other night we saw kawhi falter in the 4th against the lakers because he was defending hard all game he ran out of offensive gas. Something to think about
@@adolfBBC All the points you've made are valid. It's just that Trae's talents are not unique and can be found in other more well rounded guards. Having a defensive presence at the opponent's point of attack disrupts their set and cause more breakdowns. Just look at the Bucks after trading away Jrue for Lillard. Opposing teams are simply strolling their way into half court sets even with Giannis as a defensive monster. With the Hawks, Trae is the first option, so his shooting numbers are career highs. Can Spurs afford to make him the #1 option? And if he tries to become a pass first guard, how effective could he be? Trae will definitely help the existing Spurs lineup, but is he that much more efficient than any other guard? Just by eye test, Malcom Brogdon would be an even better fit with his size and ability. He was ROTY when drafted by the Bucks if that means anything. He has extremely high bball IQ and personal maturity. No silly turnovers from him and he's shown to be able to pace the game when he has the rock. And he's not the only one. Getting Dejonte back instead of Trae would also be a great move, and there are others like him. So, while Trae would love to suit up alongside Wemby, who wouldn't? I bet even Jordan Poole would love that, but that doesn't mean anything to the Spurs. So if Pop does consider Trae, I'd be very very surprised. I'd expect him to put the ball in the hands of European guards rather than AAU ones. Someone like Nikola Topic in the coming draft would be in a more familiar mold of Tony Parker, able to equally dish or slash. If Pop can sign a decent center to give the Spurs option to put Wemby at the 4, or even draft Alex Sarr, they'll have such an uneven matchup against most team both defensively and offensively. That's why I'm not concerned about the losing this season. Pop would definitely remember how he almost wasted the career of David Robinson before they tanked to put Timmy around him together with a young European core of Parker and Manu.
Valid points. That was my initial view on Trae being there, I guess the media has shifted my logic with flashy names. You're right. Dj would be great but he's not really even a 2nd option if they're looking to be competitive, he's more of a 2 guard who I suppose would still do well as a rotational piece with vasell. It's all around excitement for me regardless and as long as pops there I believe the right choices will be made. Hopefully we see a Shaq effect and teams will have to start getting bigger, hence more physical. I'd love for them to get a starting 5 going with 6'6+ pieces excluding vasell. Who was the sf in those spurs title teams? Kawhi?
If i was Chet i wouldn't pull for a turnaround jumpshot knowing Wemby guarding thats inevitable it as immature play by Holm Wemby triumph wonderfully even with SGA and guys were balling good Big big win Thats something Wemby is a highlight he so unically special
This may be overlooked by most but the foot work Vic displayed to stick and enable that Chet block, steal, pass sequence was ridiculous for a 7 footer! That's the Pop effect, paying attention to the details!
This settles the ROY debate. Chet was amazing the first half, then I don't know if the Thunder stopped looking for him or what but he should've taken more shots. I do wish he'd try to get more boards though. Wemby's not afraid to get down there and grab balls. Just stick your hands up. Pretty impressed with both but I love how Wemby does not shy away from the moment. What a stud.
Vic’s special…he has the mind and attitude as Duncan, Parker & ginobili…wanting to win/scoring when needed/ and making amazing plays ❤️ can’t wait to see the future of wemby
On every other season, Chet would have EASILY been ROTY. It just so happens that this year, probably the biggest prospect ever plays his rookie year...
@0:09 Bro comes in looking like Slenderman against his main rival for ROtY on the #2 seed and absolutely dominates, absolute futurefaceoftheleague madlad
32 minutes, 28 pts, 13 rebs, 7 ast, 2 stl, 5 blocks, 52.9% FG, 71.4% 3pt. There's no contest, Wemby is ROTY.
Its not even about the roty debate, he might become one of the greatest, if not THE greatest. Time will tell
no doubts about that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@francD06
Only 2 steals for wemby 🤔
How many games has he won this season?
This game was fantastic. It's always good to see Wemby and Chet playing. This is the beginning of a great rivalry
I'm not a fan of the they are both tall and skilled narative..it's low hanging fruit..but Wemby is a damn monster, and Chet is good, gonna be a fun time
There will be no rivalry ... wemby will become a legend the other one will slowly disappear....

How can you post video so fast???

Yooooo! This game was fun!!!!!!! This Vic vs Chet rivalry is going to be amazing for a long time!
Chet was making moves and showing out in the highlights. But Wemby just outpaced him in numbers, hit bigger shots and made plays when it counted. great game!
That block from Wemby on Chet at the end of the game was clean and as pure as it gets 😳❤️

So if Pop does consider Trae, I'd be very very surprised. I'd expect him to put the ball in the hands of European guards rather than AAU ones. Someone like Nikola Topic in the coming draft would be in a more familiar mold of Tony Parker, able to equally dish or slash.
If Pop can sign a decent center to give the Spurs option to put Wemby at the 4, or even draft Alex Sarr, they'll have such an uneven matchup against most team both defensively and offensively.
That's why I'm not concerned about the losing this season. Pop would definitely remember how he almost wasted the career of David Robinson before they tanked to put Timmy around him together with a young European core of Parker and Manu.
Valid points. That was my initial view on Trae being there, I guess the media has shifted my logic with flashy names. You're right. Dj would be great but he's not really even a 2nd option if they're looking to be competitive, he's more of a 2 guard who I suppose would still do well as a rotational piece with vasell. It's all around excitement for me regardless and as long as pops there I believe the right choices will be made. Hopefully we see a Shaq effect and teams will have to start getting bigger, hence more physical. I'd love for them to get a starting 5 going with 6'6+ pieces excluding vasell. Who was the sf in those spurs title teams? Kawhi?
Wemby vs Holmgren is fire match up! 🔥💯 love to watch this two future NBA star
If i was Chet i wouldn't pull for a turnaround jumpshot knowing Wemby guarding thats inevitable it as immature play by Holm Wemby triumph wonderfully even with SGA and guys were balling good Big big win Thats something Wemby is a highlight he so unically special
Only argument there should be is him winning dpoy on top of Roty
SGA is going to be the future of the NBA damn He is good! Wemby ROTY and DPOY.
I was in that game!!!! Last 3 minutes were insane!!!!!!
What a game by Vessel and Wemby!!! 🔥🔥🔥GSG
That Wemby block on Chet was fucking awesome
This may be overlooked by most but the foot work Vic displayed to stick and enable that Chet block, steal, pass sequence was ridiculous for a 7 footer! That's the Pop effect, paying attention to the details!
I like this rivalry!!
Wemby and Chet, great ballers, so fun to watch!
Did not expect Wemby to be this cracked in his rookie year...wow.
One thing this game proved was WEMBY is ROTY the debate is over !
Fell asleep on this game smh but I knew Freedawkins would come thru clutch 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WEMBY wanted to proof he is the future and he did.
That block on Holmgren was personal.
There is a real chance, Victor one day will be the GOAT.
This settles the ROY debate. Chet was amazing the first half, then I don't know if the Thunder stopped looking for him or what but he should've taken more shots. I do wish he'd try to get more boards though. Wemby's not afraid to get down there and grab balls. Just stick your hands up. Pretty impressed with both but I love how Wemby does not shy away from the moment. What a stud.
Amazingly the Spurs looked like serious contenders in this game.
Damn , the block is crazy
Now we know Inspector Gadget was chillin in France bout 20 years ago...
Vic’s special…he has the mind and attitude as Duncan, Parker & ginobili…wanting to win/scoring when needed/ and making amazing plays ❤️ can’t wait to see the future of wemby
bro, this is going to be a RIVALRY
Rookie of the year wemby
9:06 that was nasty by Wemby 😂 he put Chet on time-out
love these edits you dont just cut away what the commentator was trying to say but you include the entire thing
SGA just dunked on number 30 two consecutive times. goodness!
Happy to see Wemby
I have never seen a guy who could legitimately guard the 3 point line from the paint. Wemby has goat potential
Espectacular
On every other season, Chet would have EASILY been ROTY. It just so happens that this year, probably the biggest prospect ever plays his rookie year...
I thought at the end Wemby would say " Eh!! Can I get a Hoiyahhh!!! LMAO
@0:09 Bro comes in looking like Slenderman against his main rival for ROtY on the #2 seed and absolutely dominates, absolute futurefaceoftheleague madlad
