I have never prayed for an NBA player before. But I PRAY that Wembanyama stays major-injury free and healthy. He is a delight to watch.
Same, and I like him coz he's mature and humble.
Me too man.
i really love his game, but yea he NEEDS to stay injury free. i hope he can put some muscles on like giannis and dominate the league.
don't do it! Use your prayers wisely....such a powerful and effective tool.
@@unknow11321 Double edged sword. More muscle = more weight, and that means more stress on that 7'4" frame. If he does fill in, he has to do so gradually.
Wembanyama was straight up built to play basketball. His frame, speed, handles, I can’t imagine him doing anything else but basketball
Volleyball
Checking into your hotel holiday in Paris and seeing a gigantic receptionist welcoming you..😂
Wow what an incredibly astute take
Feel like a I’m watching a gen z wilt chamberlain play
you mean the same wemby that embiid scored 70 on? yea stfu
People before Wemby played: "We're putting too much pressure on this young talent"
People now: "Yeah he's surpassed all expectations"
Who is people?
“Give him more minutes “
On some literal LBJ type shit
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesusshut up bruh
I still think we're putting too much pressure on him ! :)
Popovich purposely put him in uncomfortable positions/situations early in the season and Wemby struggled a bit. But those challenges also hastened his development and understanding of every position he can play. Since being moved to center, a position he initially does not see himself at..,Wemby has taken off and his efficiency also rose up. The scariest thing is that a generational talent is being mentored by a GOAT coach.
Why is he only playing 28min?
He had an ankle injury and he’s on minutes restriction.
@@ryanisaiahthas part of the uncomfortable situations. It helps him maximize wut he's doing on the court under a time limit. It also helps him learn how to be effective even when he's out of rhythm. Iss pretty smart, actually.
@@ThisDude234and protects his body
I think thats partly why Embiid is popping off right now. Being forced into uncomfortable situations is the easiest way to grow. Sink or swim mentality.
I definitely think the Sixers would have won the championship if Rivers wasn’t the coach but because Embiid was trapped in a system that forced him to iso on every play, his game evolve and then when Harden joined the team he was able to pickup more techniques to bait defenders into fouls, which is important because he is 300lbs, he needs more rest than every other NBA player and he gets that rest at the freethrow line. Also you can see a pretty good correlation between Embiid’s freethrow percentage and the number of freethrows he has attempted per game. Along with the fact that for many years Embiid had to shoot freethrows under the pressure of the fans chanting MVP during every freethrow.
This season Embiid has stopped trying to foul bait. He always tried to exaggerate contact/flop last season but under Nurse that has all mostly been eliminated from his game. Now Embiid finishes through contact and is going for the and1 instead if trying to force fouls. However even though he isn’t flopping the number of freethrows he gets per game has gone up. Why? Well NBA refs operate largely on the rule of cool, And1s are hype for viewers so they are more likely to call them versus when a player tries to force a foul with a shot attempt that has not chance of going in. Also, Embiid has become smarter about how he baits people into fouls. He has become more targeted about who he fouls, he tries to get the better players out of the game through foul trouble, and then naturally the bench players don’t have the discipline to not foul Embiid since they aren’t good enough to defend him.
This is my favorite RUclips channel.
Such a great vid too!! I would love to see Wemby play in person someday.
-Wren
hello corridor crew
Yo my interests are colliding
Take in I clicked off the title and the thumbnail I didn’t realize it was jimmy and I was thinking “what channel is this could it can’t be better than jimmy”
You guys are the last people I’d think like basketball lol
Wrennnn! Ball and Tech, my 2 favorite things
I think the scariest thing about Wemby is that he's playing like this already while he still hasn't got the league fully figured out yet. I'm excited to see him grow and develop. We might be witnessing the start of something great here. Just hope he stays healthy and I hope the Spurs draft great pieces this year.
Ya that game the other night with Embiid was something I've never seen before, and once he grows into his grown man strength 🤯. He found a good home w/ Pap who is playing him smart so he doesn't get any injuries, 'cause that's the only thing that will slow him down at this point.
If he stays healthy, stays on this trajectory, improving every season in his early career, can start putting up superstar numbers winning multiple DPOYS (which is definitely a thing he can even get this SZN) and can MAYBE win MVPS in the distant future with Rings, MJ's title may be at risk. But like i said he has such a long way to go
acl tear in a year and he is done
@@kvassman_ Man, wishing tragedy to a successful young person is sad and pathetic.
@@kvassman_ ya that’s low key cold af
The fact that people's expectations of him seemed almost unattainable, yet he's still managed to exceed those expectations is insane. I'm a very casual NBA fan, I don't watch a single game a year, just highlights and channels like Jimy's, yet Wemby has still managed to steal my attention and is making me want to start watching games. I hope he can fulfill his GOAT potential, and we're all lucky to be able to witness this man 's career from start to finish, live in front of us.
This!!! Hell bring us much joy
As a french that watched many spurs games, I'll tell you this: Don't watch those games...Wemby is amazing and it's so painful to see him being played this way, Pop's coaching is so bad, the team is so bad...
I was so exited when we knew that he would be a spurs, but I'm so disapointed, he needs a real team and a new coach asap, such a waste for now
that first sentence, reminds me of lebron. he truly has goat potential and i hope that his career pans out as such
@@dark-lord-itachi-gojoofthe6166 Pop and their Front Office are tanking, losing on purpose.
Experimental line-ups and overly precautious with minute restrictions.
Obviously Pop knows better than pretty much anybody on the planet that playing a PF as a Point Guard is not how you win the next NBA game.
He's not stupid.
He's just playing chess, when everybody else is playing checkers.
And he's a few moves ahead. It's not his first rodeo.
They took their time and tanked from the beginning so they could experiment, develop skills, lose games, and take the pressure away.
They first said they observed Victor, what he can do with and without instructions, to understand which pieces fit best around him: what does he need and how can they build the right team for him?
All that, while maximizing their draft odds this year.
Complete win-win.
They weren't going to win a ring this year anyway, so regular-season wins are meaningless this season.
Pop and their FO know they can't win a ring with that roster.
They need more young talent to build their next dynasty around Victor, so losing this year is better for them and Wemby long-term.
Draft, trade, develop, for 2-3 years and they'll be great.
They don't want to be a win-now team to end up giving up all their cap space and draft assets for the wrong player in a rushed trade, to win now... And fail.
That's a risky way to end up being mid, like rookie Lebron Cavs or rookie Luka Mavs.
Plus, relying too much on older super expensive stars to win is not how you build a contending team for 15 years.
The core and talent need to be young. Surround them with vet leadership and experience in the locker room, sure, but try to avoid heavy minutes from vets when your focus is to develop young players, and winning now is not the purpose.
Winning in the NBA takes time. You can't skip steps.
MJ, Lebron, Curry, etc, took 6-7 years and more to get their first rings.
27-28 is the average age of MVPs and Championship winning teams.
Spurs are doing just fine, the big picture is just not about this season, but the next 3 to 15 years.
Victor could not be in a better place:
- GOAT coach. 28 years of experience. Most NBA wins ever. Active coach with the most rings.
- Pop has coached 2 of the greatest big men of all time through multiple eras.
- Highest future cap space in the league, second most draft picks over the next decade.
In 2 years, they will already look significantly better.
Year 3-5, they should start to be a perennial threat for the title.
Patience is the only way.
Keep "Pounding the Rock", as the Spurs motto says.
@@guillaumerauxI just hope Wemby remains patient.
The most amazing thing about Wembys defense that the real basketball sickos might have noticed is when he gets blocks, he's actively controlling the ball to get it to his team. He isn't just sending that shit into the stands. He's unbelievably advanced its beautiful to watch
Yep he’s a great defender. That’s why he let Embiid score 70 on him

Thank you for pointing out something that most people don't consider... his competitiveness.
You can tell the kid isn't afraid of anyone and is hungry to win and to get better. That's what's special about him.
I swear everytime I watch a JxmyHighroller video, I am mesmerized by its organization and well preparation. A 10-15 minute video feels like it's a minute long, which is a feat the many RUclipsrs fail to do.
This made me realize even more how ballin wemby is! People just look at wins, also Chet being right there on half the list is pretty impressive too!

I hope he doesn’t get injured. He has so much potential
He probably will, when your that tall it feels inevitable
Please look at Embid. His first years he was tagged as injury prone but he did it.@@PRWPanda
@@PRWPandahe’s getting ahead of the injury he’s been stretching and doing physical therapy which is rare for a kid that young
@@nicolasfierro2143 I saw that too, he takes care of his body like he's a vet. Very rare these days since most rookies just go out there with no regard for their well-being, just wanna hoop and showcase their talent ASAP. Not wemby tho.
Came to say this. He’s fun to watch. The league is pretty monotonous with all the screen and roll, kick out 3’s. He is a breath of fresh air and fundamentally sound.
Chet has been very good. Very efficient, reliable, smart and cohesive with his team. Any other year he'd have the ROTY in the bag. Wemby though? Like you said, he's been generational. He leads the league in BPG!!! He's second in total blocks with only 7 blocks behind Brook Lopez, who's logged 300 more minutes and played in 6 more games. Can't wait till the Spurs get some competent players around him its gunna be so fun to watch.
It would absolutely suck if he became the Shohei Ohtani of basketball. At least the Spurs aren't like the Angels
The thing I think that sets him apart at his build is his strength, everyone thought he'd snap like a twig at the elite level but he takes hits from big guys like its nothing, that's impressive
People equate skinny to weak and that's just not how biology works.
I always felt that people had underestimated him (even tho he's the "greatest prospect since LeBron James") but even he has surprised me. And averaging 3 blocks is crazy for a rookie or any player (even if said player is 7'4)
Amen, I knew Wemby would be good (I bought 3 Wemby jerseys before Spurs even got the #1 pick) but didn’t think he would be this good this early, especially the blocks part. I wouldn’t be surprised he wins DPOY
3 blocks per game is may be one of his least impressive statelines considering his 7’6 with an 8ft foot wingspan… only has to have the opposing teams players mess up 3 times and he slaps it 😂
most mfs dont realize its hard to be atheltic when ur wembys height dude
I am surprised he is staying healthy most don't at that height
find me a big near his size thats as athletic smart big flexible and has a good mentality as wembamyama. u cant? stop hating then@@someones_here
It makes me so happy to see Wemby is doing so good so soon in his career, makes me excited to see how much more he will grow as a player in the future.
Anyone hear after he 40-20-7 on the nicks
The last time I've seen someone in the NBA live up to this level of hype was Lebron
I think another huge part of wemby being this good is the same reason players like Luka,Gianni’s and jokic are all doing so well is because they are playing against grown adults from the time their 17
The difference between giannis and the rest is basketball IQ. His IQ is so low and i say this as a lifelong bucks fan.
Pause
vic was 15 when he registered his first minutes against grown men and lots of former nba players and 7 footers in the french league. pretty crazy if you ask me. But that explains a lot
Tonight was crazy. Embiid with 70 POINTS and 18 Rebounds, Wemby with 33 and 7, Giannis 30-10-17, and KAT has 60 right now and the 4th quarter just started! This got me wondering, what was the best (regular-season) night in NBA history?
On the 18th anniversary of Kobe's 81 point game, nonetheless.
@@TornaitSuperBirdthat’s crazy
7:45 The way you explained this was so perfect. It literally showcased so his defensive abilities.
Wilts 100 Point obviously, or his 70-40 game.
@@TornaitSuperBirdnot even close to the best. Kobe was practically given the ball all the time, fym lol.

Trap sax went hard
JIMMY YOU BETTER MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THESE DAMN 60-70 POINT GAMES WE'VE BEEN GETTING THIS MONTH
Only a month later, his stats have even improved quite a bit.
I really hope this man gets a injury free career!!! He got one in a lifetime talent combined with his INSANE build, 7'5 and 8'0 wingspan😭😭🔥 I really hope that he becomes the face of the NBA and I can't wait to see how his career pans out, hopefully a very good one .
Prayers for him every day of the week, missing him would be so sad
I couldn't agree more, I wish him all the longevity in the world because if he stays healthy we will 100% witness an incredible one of a kind player
@@olas16k He got the potential to be top 5 at the end of his career if he gets clear of injuries and I'm not even reaching. 20/10/3 and 3 blocks per game which leads the league, in limited minutes and AT 20 YEARS OLD. Sky is the limit
there's no way you can be this tall and dont get injured. Let's expect that he will, and hope that he'll bring value while he's not
@@pierrot92 everyone got injuried at some point in their careers, but he seems to be durable enough to play 60+ games a season which is enough to make this impact noticeable

Man, this video gave me chils... Congrats on the production dude... as a fan o Wemby, I get pretty excited to nexts chapter of his carreer...
By that numbers you presented, is accurate to state that he doesn't even need to be better, he have just to keep it in more time per game and consistently... he will achive the goat conversation... May God blessing his way and we will be pleased as witnesses of gradiosity ahead...
this is my reintroduction to this channel after a couple years... amazing video. Always good content, but I can see you've taken it to another level. Great storytelling.
His adaptation doesn't surprise me, but it's still extremely impressive. The kid breathes basketball, he's so intelligent on and off-the-court, it's like he's been created to take over the basketball world. It really is just a matter of him staying healthy. I think already by next season, depending on what moves the Spurs make, he will be a definite all-star and a top 10 player in the league, and he probably won't be tenth on that list.
This.
People don't realize that "Best prospect ever" is actually not far-fetched.
He's probably not as hyped as Lebron was, and he might not reach his level (because Lebron exceeded the already crazy expectations, which is the unbelievable part).
But Victor's ceiling truly is the highest we've ever seen.
Reaching and maintaining that level for 15-20 years is the almost impossible part, but the sheer potential is there.
And it's not just because of size, skills and wingspan.
That combo already makes him a one-in-a-billion prospect, sure.
But it's the intangibles:
Humble but extremely confident, selfless/team-oriented, but wants to be the greatest.
Loves the pressure, and is unphased by the attention (I mean, he had 20 years of his lifetime being the center of attention everywhere he went, with his size and talent, so I guess it's normal for him at this point).
Smart, educated, well-spoken.
Has love for the game: does not play Basketball just because he's tall.
Incredible work ethic, takes care of his body and health, highly driven.
A loving and healthy family of professional Basketball players/coaches and pro athletes.
Has already been a professional, surrounded by grown adults from multiple countries and cultures, for a few years, which makes him more adaptable, ready, and mature,.
Does not care about ego, social media, flashy stuff, money, materialistic things.
The whole package makes him a one-of-one.
Only thing he can't do is win.
@@cheesycarrotsoup Welcome to Basketball, a team's game.
Also, welcome to the NBA Ring hunt:
Where tanking makes sense for the long term, to get young talent for cheap, instead of winning meaningless regular season games to be mid forever.
@@guillaumeraux LeBron never tanked to get a team around him. Having the worst record in the NBA doest guarantee you a high draft pick. How is basketball still a team game when a single player will drop 60 points and have everyone play 0 defense. Try again buddy you must be thinking of the Euro league.
@@cheesycarrotsoup Yeah, and that's exactly why rookie Lebron spent his entire rookie contract without a ring and asked out.
Cavs wanted to win now and rushed things instead of taking the time to use their assets properly.
Lebron only came back to the Cavs because he grew up next to Cleveland.
Wemby would not have any reason to come back if he left.
This is exactly why the Spurs aren't doing what the Cavs did: try to put all of their assets into dumb trades to win during Wemby's first year.
Luka Mavs did the same and nothing happened in 6 years.
Lebron had to move to franchises willing to build superteams (which didn't last more than a few years), once he started to get to his peak (fortunately, he had a 15-year peak).
Winning or losing, tanking, is not a player's decision. It's not in the Spurs interest to win this season. Especially if they want to keep Wemby longer than 4 or 7 years.
It does not matters how much he loses this season. But it matters what type of talent he'll have around him for the long-term future.
They need to still have a bright long-term future with the right assets when he hits his peak, so that they remain his best option.
Spurs want to build a team capable of contending for probably 10 years at least.
Year 3 to 15 is the window they probably aim for.
If anything, Lebron's case is the exact reason why the Spurs are tanking for Wemby's first year.
To not be mid for 4 years until Wemby asks out.
By the way, KAT just scored 60 and his team lost.
The last Championship team relied on a selfless superstar.
The NBA might need stars to win, sure. But it certainly needs more than one good player to get there.
Otherwise, the current MVP would win a ring every year.
Harden, Dame, Luka, and Embiid are still ringless, last time I checked.
Still a team's game. Spurs are not building superteams being a small market franchise.
They'll draft and develop. They have some of the best record in the last 3 decades on that front.

The analysis? Really? Half of it is sensationalist clickbait. Ok, so 'No one has put the numbers Wembanyama is putting. Others who came close include Shaquille O'Neal...' --> translation into reality: in his rookie season Shaq had three more points, four more rebounds, almost half a block more...and one less assist. With 10% better field goal efficiency by the way.

yeah no i agree with you. the kid definitely has a bright future ahead of him. i just find it tough to beat out mj and duncan in their respective fields @@MrCrunch808
@@MrCrunch808 He can do that by following the schemes of Kareem
Your videos are TOP Tier! Goosebumps on the ending!
Can you please do a video on why he should be dpoy
Hoping Wemby stays healthy throughout his career. I can see him being in the GOAT conversation if he keeps this up for many years.
The only thing that scared me about Wembanyama was his proning to injury, but after he ate that ankle sprain against the Rockets, bro this guy will be great
What makes you think he's "prone to injury"? Other similar players? Or his own history?
@@nazcraz11taller people are more likely to get injured
I was worried but all those stretches he does! He even does them for a bit when he's on the bench.
that rolled ankle sends literally every 7fter out 3-4 weeks minimum. and then heres wemby gettin up, not even needin to brush it off, as if that rolled ankle never happened.
@@nazcraz11taller people are more prone to injuries (proven by scientific studies). the human skeleton can only support so much weight and stress, and taller people put more stress on their bones and joints compared to shorter people. and even if you develop muscles to handle it better (stronger muscles help reduce injury), you're also increasing your weight. and when you're over 7 feet tall, jumping constantly, that added weight will increase the stress on your body...so there's always a risk of injury for very tall players compared to shorter players. i'm assuming that's a large reason they're only having him play 28 minutes - just because he can ball like this now doesn't mean he can ball like this in ten years, unless they're careful about his health.
Thank you for this. When we get a team around him, we are gonna be so damn good
Thanks jimbo we needed this vid today in Arizona
Dude, your videos are WILD! You gave me chills at the end. Keep them coming! Highly appreciated ❤
Actually insane, the hype for him was unmatched yet he’s exceeding expectations, absurd
But he's not
@@thesoundmajors9858😂😂😂 someone is mad lmaooo
So you basically saying it was not a hype
The thing that NOBODY notices is the "quality" of his blocks. You had a highlight in the video of Zion slapping a shot into the fifth row. Lots of shot blockers karate chop shots into the crowd. Watch Wemby's blocks and notice how many of them are recovered by his teammates and lead to transition opportunities. The only guy I've ever seen do that at as high a rate is Tim Duncan, which makes sense since Timmy is helping him. His blocks are much better than most shot blockers because they help his team get more possessions. This is going to be a big deal as the Spurs improve.
Highest BLK% (10.2) in the league *and* highest block recovery % (63%) in the league. Since starting at center he has the highest BLK% of any player in history.
Just your Michael cutscenes at the start are so fire... Thank you man.
Dude, I would like to say that your videos are so well written and so good. You brought me, who has no interest in basketball whatsoever, into a casual fan.
You even made me want to learn to actually play basketball for these past 2 months.
Just like Curry, your videos never misses.
I'm the guy who only watches the NBA during the playoffs but I instantly click on a JxmyHighroller video. Keep it up brother, ty for the entertainment!
I was expecting this video for weeks. Your content is amazing!!!!!
Always top tier presentation. Thank you Jimmy
Next video should be about the only players ever to drop 70 points.
Possible points of interest:
Joel's 70 on potential future legend (1/22/2024)
David Thompson and how he only played 8 seasons
Kobe's 81 being more impressive than the newer generations understands
81 is so crazy even by todays standards, and today players are dropping 40-50 balls left and right without it even being talked about. Back then, if someone had 40, we were talking about it. You are so right that the newer generation may think it’s cool and impressive that Kobe dropped 81, but they will absolutely not understand how INSANE it was
Kobe's 81, lets not forget, came from a wing. He shot 3 pointers and it was expected. Embid joins David Robinson in that big man category. I wonder if Embiid even recognizes DRob.?
@toysnaplaviscus it was expected for him to score 81 because the position he plays? That makes zero sense.
@@TheUnseen0n3 Its way more likely to score 81 when you are a forward, creating your shot mostly out of cross ups and catch and shoots. Can I make it more logical for you? You need more explanation?
Let me know if you need more explanation of how basketball works.@@TheUnseen0n3
These videos are the only thing keeping me up on the NBA. I love basketball, don't have much time to watch games but I'd surely never know about these stats and player histories without Jimmy. Thanks bud
Same!!
Guys check out ruclips.net/video/kdHPLSC18z0/видео.htmlsi=tXyx_w7BYMv8Je5m it's a new ish nba channel that covers all the games during the week!
I'm not a bot but I have a hard time keeping up with the NBA too
Love it, so excited to watch him for years to clme
Your commentary on the players and the game is the absolute best!
Jimmy, your consistency is a blessing, every video brings the goods.
Wemby is truly incredible, I am excited to see what his career brings!
Victor Wenbanyama's last 10 games (4W-6L)
Stats /game Stats /32mns Stats /40mns
24.7 minutes
24.1 points 31.22 points 39.03 points
8.8 rebounds 11.40 rebounds 14.25 rebounds
3.2 assists 4.15 assists 5.18 assists
3.6 blocks 4.66 blocks 5.83 blocks
thats just ridiculous, if he plays just a bit more minutes hes a walking double double with 30 points as a ROOKIE, he's already all time level in blocks, and who knows, maybe hiss assist game will develop, it's nice for a rookie i believe, like no matter how you look at it he's completely ridiculous and as a frenchie i couldn't be prouder and happier for the man
i can’t wait until he’s 22 or at the start of his prime
Wemby will average 25-30 points next season
Come on! It's ridiculous how close he is to 1-point pr. minute in all three games. Like a god damn clockwork.
Thank you for another masterpiece, Jimmy!❤️
I just hope Wemby never gets injured. He's a humble rookie, with excellent competitive drive and has great sportsmanship
Love the point you made at the end. The reason I’m so confident in Wemby is his mind
Watching this the morning after Embiid dropped 70 on us. Thank you for making us Spurs fans feel better!
Not Wembys fault Embild only scored 16 when Wemby was on the court it was mostly Zach Collins getting torched and dominated.
Spurs fan here and I've seen Wemby play in person at almost all home games. Dude leaves me in awe. I was not worried about the slight struggles he had in the beginning, even as that, it wasnt much of a bad struggle. His turnovers were bad initially. Shot is getting there. Ever since they moved him to Center.. game over. I was worried about his frame but man, he is balling! I will be seeing him tonight vs Chet.
of course he did !!!@@sosa7046
The last two games he didn't play like a center. I think he just doesn't like it, and will forever think of himself as a tall shooting forward (but who so far doesn't shoot all that well).
I'd like to see him develop more and have a good career. He's definitely something special but these tall guys always seem to be injury prone! Let's hope he stays healthy.
Yes this is is what I’ve been waiting for wemby post
This is frfr a REALLY well written and structured video. And almost everything is a valid point Jxmmy. Keep up the good work bro! Been watching since I was 9, and the production has only ever gone up!
I hope you make a lot of money from RUclips, because man. Your videos are absolutely perfect.
Subject matter
Point of view
Editing skills (idk if you do it all yourself)
Consistency
Voice (this is the best of all. Listening to your videos is like listening to Ira Glass talking about w/e the F Ira wants to talk about. I use your videos to help me fall asleep at night)
10s across the board!
Edit: I almost forgot, the way you weave in the promotions is pristine. It's like they are just another part of the video.
That was awesome i didn't want it to end. Major skills bro.
I watch a lot of basketball. I watch a lot of basketball breakdown videos. But, your videos Jimmy…are second to none!
Whatever he does in his conditioning is amazing. Avoiding injuries so far.
I just hope he can stay healthy and live up to his potential. Truly all the best wishes!
Thanks for making washing dishes enjoyable 👊🏽
Honestly your last point of his abilities, his competitive edge, is really what most casuals haven't come to understand yet.
Every time I've seen the game on the line with < 3 min on the clock, he's always demanding he ball and taking the reins into his own hands.
The future of the league is even brighter than we could've ever imagined
ok but he does not score in those last minutes. he isn't clutch at all
@@korneeldavid7515yes he does? He literally single handily won the Spurs a game against KD in the 4th quarter.
@@korneeldavid7515clearly never watched a spurs game before
@@kokushibo6823 how can one be clutch and at the same time have 8 wins 😭
@@korneeldavid7515 this aint a valid argument at all 😭 acting like he didnt join a 22 win team what are you expecting a championship contender?
FREAKING GOOSEBUMPS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO!!!
glazer
Thx for the work of this video
What else do you do for a living bro !? Your videos really grab my attention. So well presented. Somebody get this man on TnT
Ironically when you posted this Wemby gets 70 pieced to the dome by Embiid.... 😂
When i look at Wilts highlights, i see Wembayana... they play very similarly respective to how outstanding their size is combined with their reflex and agility in comparison to other players.
Just an excellent take, as always. Best hoops content, ever. No question.
I still miss Trap Sax to this day but your videos get better and better every single time. Zero misses. Salute to you brodie
It’s always a good day when jimmy uploads😊
makes my day fr
Another thing he's got going for him... Pop.
If my Wizards had drafted him, I'm sure one way or another somehow this can't-miss talent wouldn't have worked out.
Even another thing he's got going for him... the current NBA game. It's less physical and much more widely spaced than ever before. Injury is really the only obvious threat between him and all-time greatness, and that threat, although still very real, is surely less now that it would've been in previous decades.
Great content man amazing content!!!
I do not know anything about the NBA and I don’t even watch Basketball but I know this dude’s videos are always well made and very entertaining.
we love you jimmy❤
Joel Embiid deadass dropped 70 points on him at this exact moment 😂😂
Thus the Jxmy Highroller curse is born 🤧
These videos always seem to release at the most unfortunate times 😂
Wemby still had like 35 tho. Joel just decided he would show up tonight. If he gave the effort he gave tonight every game he’d average 45ppg. Also wemby just needs to continue adding size. He gained 20 pounds of muscle since summer league, so I have no doubt Pop is continuing to have him on a diet.
no he didn't, Joel scored 16pts with Wemby as his primary defender. The rest came from Embid scoring on Sochan and weak ass Zach Collins
@@hazard3377 I'd love to upvote you 100 times (if I could), seriously you nailed it.
Wemby is averaging 4.7 stocks as of March 5th. Wouldn't be surprised if the number reached 5.0 by the end of the year tbh
Jimmy is simply incapable of missing. Every vid is a banger
Some people say they wish they were alive back then to witness MJ, Kareem, Magic, Bird, and all those greats, but we can't forget that we have Lebron, Curry, KD, Luka, Jokic, Giannis and Victor Wembanyama
Lebron is a stain on the NBA he has ruined the league with superteams getting poltical flopping and controlling the media he has brought nothing good to the league.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622You’re an idiot. Superteams started with the celtics in the 50s and 60s.
That play where he started at the top and contested the corner could be done by many players but nowadays they don't hustle like that. He's amazing
I was waiting for this video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel like this video has been proven right over the past 2 months because he’s been even more insanely impressive since…
