It was easy to see him being successful in the league if you understand what they do in today's games. I don't say this after he played almost a full season. I said the same thing before this season even started. You cannot guard a 7'4" guy shooting 3s. It's just simple physics. When you think his shooting isn't good enough yet. You have to understand the elite scorers like Luka and Tatum are shooting 3s in mid to high 30 percentage only.
@@gingervsginger7305 Definitely. Almost everyone had to put on muscle entering the league. But that's when the bigs had to dwell in death valley, and bang bodies.
@TheIcemanthomas he should though. He really should. He's the best defender in the league by a large margin. Only reason he won't is because gobert has better teammates.
20 years ago, lebron generational body with guard like skills (Freak Train), 20 years now Wemby generational 7foot 5 frame with guard like skills (Alien). 20 years later 7 foot 11 rookie dunking from the 3 point line?
After this season, the Spurs should trade everybody out and the put a clause in the new guys's contract "Pass the ball to Wemby or you don't get your salary"
For those who followed him when he was still playing in France , for us frenchies , he had already shown a big potentiel . With Popovic and without major injurie he can become a top player
@@TheIcemanthomas It's always been Defensive Player, not Defensive Team, ofc it's fkg individual stats. Why the fuck would the team's stats even barely matter when judging a *singular* player?

He is too talented to be just a lob catcher. He hates center position and would only play guard if he could even though he is more useful to his team close to the rim
@@MathieuPilotDumb comment alert.I watch every game he goes to the post on almost every play but they double team and triple team him so he leaks out to the perimeter sometimes.💯 WEMBY IS A 3 LEVEL SCORER.😮👽
Lots of talk about him being skinny but it doesn’t matter when you’re that agile at that height. He just goes around or over the tanks. He doesn’t need to bulk up at all otherwise it might hurt his movement.
Such a shame u cant post photos on yt coz i have countless reciepts of mates and internet clowns claiming wemby was overrated, too skinny, not ready etc the list goes on just a bunch of idiots
This 7’5” steph curry, scored 17 in the 3rd (4 threes) that started the comeback, scoring a total of 34 pts and beat the mighty nuggets. Teams better win a title now. Next season you’ll see the Wemby-era of Spurs.
@@Baja2424 hey gaywarriors fan, did you watch the video? He hits 3 consecutive 3 pointers. Anyway, you’re right its an insult to compare wemby to steph, wemby is so much better. Steph can’t do even 10% of wemby’s defense, rebounding and post moves😂
He is really a nowadays all around center, back then, how often we saw a center dribbling a ball coast to coast and ended up with a 3? People said he was too thin? No worries since his gameplay doesn’t need a buff type of body
I’m glad I wasn’t someone who thought Wemby couldn’t bully other players. It’s was pretty simple math imo. Wemby is 240lbs and could be even heavier since that was at the beginning of the season. And the average nba player is 6’7” at like 210lbs. Meaning he has about 30lbs on probably over 50% of the nba. And the problem that the lower center of gravity most players would have against him is the fact that he is overly lanky. If you try to back Wemby down and you’re not Giannis or someone similar in size like embiid, LeBron or jokic. His freakishly long arms can easily pick your pocket. So for what he has a weakness he often has a solution. -I mean his “major” weakness is his teammates, and lack of experience. He’s gonna get better teammates and experience down the line. But yeah, it was kinda funny seeing people say he’s gonna get bullied in the nba for being too “skinny” Unfortunately him being “skinny doesn’t mean the weight he has vanishes. It’s not like a 5’5” guy is gonna back down a 6’4” guy who is 30lbs heavier. Do we understand now? Switch the height difference and you realize how stupid so many arguments were against Wemby.
I have never seen Jokic play happily with someone else aside from Wemby and Luka
Lebron* . Apenas esses 3
They're not Americans... ......... 😬

After listening to that crowd pop on the final shot. Yeah. San Antonio is his city now. Congratulations Spurs fans. Yall hit the jackpot
He can have all the big ol’ women he wants down there
Again
Yeah we did. Hopefully we can surround him with other good player. Hopefully a playoff team in 3 yrs
Yep, again.
David Robinson, Tim Duncan, now Wemby
@@mylittlepitbull3143and TP, who was Wemby's coach too..❤
Are we sure It's not just two Currys in a coat?

This made me actually laugh out loud and I almost never do that with RUclips comments. Well done.
😂
😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂🤜
When this kid is able to put it all together in his prime....I don't know what will be watching.
That's why he is already the goat
Real talk dude is an alien
The greatest player to play this game and with his physical height he should were talking wilt numbers mixed with jordan absolute greatness just watch
We will be watching a rendition of Ralph Sampson x Wilt
that legs is prone to injury this guys are idiots telling wembangama is the goat.
Shaq be like “Bol Bol”
While filling up his jar with cereals 😂

Fat man is scared to admit wemby probably gonna be better than him when it's all said and done
@@julienr.6254😂😂😂
There were people who really thought he was too skinny for the game.
I’ll be honest I was one. But Tbf I don’t think anyone thought he’d be this good this soon
@@JeromeotsI wasn’t. I’ve seen how this league is. If this was the 90’s/00’s it would be different. But he fits perfectly in todays era of the NBA
Would be his only weakness but once he bulks up, game over

There is no more talk about Wemby, he is LEGIT and is dam good... I don't remember seeing any other rookie this dominant in his first year
shaq was
@@joaotavares078 And he would say "Bol Bol" 🤣🤣🤣
Rookie shaq had 23.4ppg on 56%, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks
Wemby set the NBA record as a rookie. The only player thus far. Shuts down every rookie conversation in my book!
@joaotavares078 shaq didnt have minute restrictions like victor did soooo
It's amazing what a man can do when he actually has the ball in his hands......
Especially when he gets a stroke of genius!
@@T1Oracle😂
Pause..
I thought ‘ol girl at 1:40 was about to flash the players and risk it all 🤑
He earned it
They got some big Ole titties in San Antonio 😂
Sholl looked that way lol
Same thought 😂
I thought it was Ben Shapiro’s sister.
Wemby knows how to hype up the crowd
If there is one rookie who can win DPOY, its definitely him
He’s not winning it
@@TheIcemanthomas Gobert can win it this year, but after this one it's going to be him for the next 4 years.
@TheIcemanthomas he should though. He really should. He's the best defender in the league by a large margin. Only reason he won't is because gobert has better teammates.

Don’t forget Greak freak
The NBA will have it's first 8ft player in 20 years
Some Avatar kind of freak😂
Wemby has brought the life back to this spurs team, who else is excited for next season?
SPURS UP!!!!
70 Millions of french :)
Ever since he cooked Rudy when he was 16 i knew he was going to be special 😢 i hope he continues to shine throughout his career
It's funny that people were thinking this kid was gonna be a bust...it's obvious they never really watched him play until this season.
After this season, the Spurs should trade everybody out and the put a clause in the new guys's contract "Pass the ball to Wemby or you don't get your salary"
🤣😂
Wemby is not a basketball player because he is 7’4”, Wemby is a very talented basketball player who just happens to be 7’4”.
I’m just stupid lost for words.
His bag, his holy bag of bags.
I’m grateful to be alive to witness this.
wembang is telling us who the greatest big man in the game is. lets go wembang
For those who followed him when he was still playing in France , for us frenchies , he had already shown a big potentiel . With Popovic and without major injurie he can become a top player
The alien is naturally strong .He takes challenges head on. Never backs down on anyone. It's just a matter of time for this young man to dominate.
Wemby’s like batman, the Joker stopper
Le patron ! Vraiment exceptionnel. Unique dans la NBA un talent pareil? À cette âge bien évidemment
They tried to bully Vic in the first, thinking they'd get into his head. Fools.
He plays against adults since he was 15..He's not Afraid 😂😂.
This kid is one of a kind. He's very special, and it's amazing to watch him.
He s a Fu**king Rookie!!! 😂 Have a French touch croissant with your coffee 😂 🇨🇵
REMEMBER HE IS A ROOKIE
But did anyone see that Jokic pass at 1:46 ?!?!?! 🤯 🤯 🤯
But the other one missed.
We're kinda used to that now! He's doing it game in game out. One touch passes and full court home run blasts.
@@jalesbarjo4740just like how we got used to Luka averaging 33+ points as a rookie
I was critical of him early in the year. Yeah....he shut me up over the last month. LOL! Dude is the truth! I'm respecting the game.
Luka , jokic and wemby in one team must be crazy
Victor is already 1 of the best player on the planet
1:41 Ohh, i'm in love...
Wemby reaching the basket is like me reaching my pocket. So easy. 😂
We are so blessed to witness the unfolding of a future 🐐!
This guy is an alien for real.
na i like how all the ogs is treating him like they rookie they always be smiling and joking with the young man
This kid is a walking cheat code. I love it.
3+2+3+3+3+3 = 17 pts in 3 mins. He already a superstar NBA to me
First buckets looks really like a goaltending. But I'm fine with it since a W for our Spurs.
Wemby already a giant in a man’s game, willing his team to victory.
0:33 Jokic to Wemby: "wow, be careful, young man, i need to play in the playoffs..."
Rename the DOTY to DPOTBT (Defensive Player of the the Best Team) if Wemby wont win.
It’s always been about value not individual stats. Do u play defense for you? Or do u play to help your team win?

Prediction time folks. He will pass Steph Curry for the greatest three point shooter in the history of the game.
their stratergy should just be throw the ball near the rim and let wemby score
bro if they really wanna win..u literally can't guard the size of wemby
Wait until they get a point guard that can throw lobs.

Nice comeback win for the Spurs against a tough team. Excited for Victor’s sophomore season as he has shown us a bit of everything in his ROY 💪🔥
Just, getting started
Here's your "MVP" getting schooled by a rookie!!!!
💪🏾💪🏾
my goodness, what was that hahaha. How to guard that
No necesita engordar, simplemente madurar y cuando lo haga va a ser el mejor jugador de la historia y ganará títulos.
He's gonna be even scarier as time goes on... #MFFL
this will be legendary moment in 20y
