Anyone who says he needs to play more in the paint is beyond a casual. He hasn’t fully grown into his body yet, and bigs historically have shortened careers because they rely on their strength and athleticism, whereas Wemby is developing his three, which is a massive part of the modern era while still being the best defender in the league.
Wemby has been on an absolute burner these last 15 games or so. Averaging 30/10/5/5 on 50/40/90 shooting basically. Somehow this has gone pretty unoticed by the media??? NBA has a ratings problem and this guy is the solution…NBA needs to start promoting this guy more asap!!!
NBA ratings are down cause clutch media populating major sports media shows can't stop talking about LeBron and the Lakers. Marketing LeBron who don't stop complaining and playing no defense is simply dumb. Even casual fans notices his complete lack of effort. Heck, even Lakers fans are sick of him. Meanwhile. actual great players and teams like giannis, SGA and jokic putting up historic seasons are barely even televised. And high impact young guys like banchero and Franz with the magic, jay dub, garland, Allen and mobley etc. But the league focuses on inefficient and can't play defense lamelo ball, gun runner who is marketed as the best player in Memphis when in reality it's triple J. Cause they're flashy. Is another reason of the league down fall.
I'm getting tired of hearimg more "experts" saying Wembanyama should play in the paint all the time, as if the Spurs would magically become a championship team because of that. Thing is, the Spurs lack shooters (among other things, like a decent back up center to give Wemby some minutes to rest). As soon as you put Wemby in the low post, he'll start getting double and triple teamed and he'll have to kick the ball out to the shooters. I don't understand how people say that the Spurs were the best team Wemby could have possibly land while at the same time criticize everything the Spurs are doing with Wembanyama. HE'S 20 YEARS OLD. No need to rush things at all.
Damn you sum it up perfectly. I'll add this : training you shooting skills while waiting for your body to be ready for more physical contact is the right order to do things. (Also I saw people complaining about his 6/16 on 3 on the Knicks game. That's 38% WTF, since when 38% on 16 attemps is bad ?!)
Wemby is arguably one of the 5-10 most valuable players in the league just because of his insane defensive gravity and because of all the looks he frees up in the mid court and he’s only gonna get better. Not to mention his elite three point shooting only adding to the problems guarding this guy. The only teams that can effectively slow him down are elite defensive teams like okc or teams with elite big men like Denver or Milwaukee and as wemby develops his playmaking ability i see no possible way to effectively slow him down besides doubling the hell out of him all the time.
Wemby slowly becoming a KD-Jokic-Hakeem hybrid. He's gonna be the best and most complete player in the league in a couple of years and by the end of his career maybe even the most complete player ever.
@@chrisbarnett5303Drummond got ejected due to his flop 🤣 But got reviewed and reinstated in the game. After a short while Embiid got ejected 🤣. Watch the game bro 🤣
Just wait til he gets a full off season to actually work on his game, dude had the olympics, 2 weeks rest then back into a 3 day camp before pre season began. I know he’s young and he can do that but every single player needs off seasons to refine & add to their game. This is still the continuation of his rookie self and he’s been BALLIN!
Wemby is like a 7’4 guy with an 8ft wingspan mix of AD (Lob treat, defensive IQ, timing to block shot, mobility), Porzingis (3pts shooting with logo range with an incontestable shot at 7’4), KD (Handles, passing, motor, off ball movements/movements shooting) … All of that at 20, in his prime he could be as good of a playmaker/passer as Jokic or Lebron, and he could shoot over 40% from 3 (KAT shot 34% on 1.1 attempt and 36% from 3 on 3.4 attempts in his first 2seasons, KD shot 28% on 2.6 attempts then 42% on 3.1 attempts then 36% and 35% on 4.8 attempts in his 3rd and 4th seasons), and look at them now, KD is the GOAT midrange shooter and elite 3pts shooter and KAT is one of the 2-3 best 3pts shooting 7ft Center ever, so Wemby could really be the best defensive player ever (Without comparing era because rim protection and defense was so valuable in the 60’s that Bill Russell won 11 titles, so Wemby would be even better back then), and he could be the best offensive player ever too, wich is crazy but he has the potential to be on Bron, MJ, Curry, Jokic level, or better …
What makes you say he could be as good of a playmaker as Jokic or Lebron? Jokic may be the best passer in league history so to say Wembanyama could be as good is a stretch imo. I do think he’s a good passer especially for his height, but he’s averaging about as many assists as he is turnovers right now.
In the future, I really want to see a tall ball team of like wemby at point, bol bol at sg, markanaan at sf, chet at pf, porzingis at center. Have Simmons, old kd, tako fall, Zack edey, and other taller guys off the bench
Honestly other than his skills, personality, professionalism, performance, its the fact he stays healthy that will make him the best player by the end of the season
Dude, he started off sluggish but picked it up. I remember everybody was counting that sophomore slump to hit him and it did.. but for not long! A NBA scout called him inefficient and he turned his game around since. His stats since Nov 8th: 29.8 Points 10.6 Rebounds 4.6 Asts 4.1 BLOCKS on 50 GF%, 40% 3 FG, and 86% FT splits.
What is most impressive about Wemby at his height is how mobile he is. KD made people lose their minds because he was very mobile at 6'10, Wemby is doing that exact same thing at 7'5 and he's just getting started. There are a lot of big men in the league, but few are capable of being mobile and agile like Wemby on both ends. He can literally do everything on both ends, and he's the second worst version of Wemby ever (after Rookie Wemby which was the worst version of Wemby ever)
Somehow I agree again… 😅 This is why he should NEVER bulk up! He should keep that Kareem physique… to keep his mobility. His mobility (and agility) at his size is what makes him unique. Nothing else.
One thing people haven't really talked about much is that he doesn't foul very often! Only one foul against the Knicks on Christmas. Which is super common among young bigs, especially young bigs who get a lot of blocks
Yup It is still early but Wemby currently holds the best Block to Foul ratio in NBA history. For every foul he gets he blocks 1.918 shots. Generally players dont average more Blocks than fouls. Hakeem one of the best shot blocker ever only had 4 seasons where he averaged more blocks than fouls and Wemby already did it in his 1st 2 season in the NBA.
It's gonna be tough to build a team around this guy if you don't get a high lottery pick this year. He's too good to allow you to get high draft picks.
@@WillToNihilsm they pretty much only need a 3 and backups, though. The rest of the positions are already filled in for Wemby to grow with. Spurs don't need Flagg (he'll be a nice bonus), they just need to draft for positions of need, and with the Spurs track record even a late lottery pick could work for that.
I bet you if they counted blocks back then Wilt would have averaged 25pts and 4 blocks as a rookie. Then we'd have someone to compare Wemby to on that front. Wemby is this generation's Wilt Chamberlain. Hyped up before he came into the league. Surprisingly skilled at the game beyond just his physical gifts. A top player very early into his career. Amazing defender while also being amazing at offense. Just redefining what's possible for someone his size.
What a package, 7'4, can play and guard all positions. Completely dominant on both ends and because of that he's perfect for the NBA game played today. Watching games again just because of him. Stay healthy young gun !
Wemby will carry you through hard times oh ye weary basketball bois. When this man and Jokic battle in a playoff series we will all be rewarded for our faith in the game.
I don’t think I’d pay any attention to the NBA if it wasn’t for Wemby. The game with its emphasis on the 3 pointer is a tough watch but I love watching Victor defensively as his blocks are just fun to behold.
Happiest of holidays to you and yours. You are at the top of the game among those who do what you do, regardless of subscriber count. Keep up the great work.
I remember very early in Lebrons career I knew he was going to be a multiple time mvp and champion and at least top 10 all time if not in the goat conversation but with Wemby I feel even stronger at an earlier stage . As long as he doesn’t have any career altering injuries he will be the greatest of all time .. which is crazy to say about a 2nd year 20 year old except it’s not crazy if you understand what we are witnessing from now is only the beginning and he’ll be significantly better by the time he’s 25-29.
if he was the next GOAT like you said we would see him impact winning way more than he does. For example Cavs were bottom before they got Lebron and he made them win much more games in his first two season. Spurs before Duncan were 20 win team after they drafted him they become a 40+ win team right away. There are actually more cases like this where young all time great has great impact in his first couple years. Now you come and say this guy might end up better than them lol
@ Duncan came into the league as fully developed player with 4 years of college and the reason the Spurs had a bad year before he was drafted is David Robinson was out the entire season then came back when they drafted Duncan, The West is a lot deeper and better than the Eastern conference was when LeBron was a rookie . Nonetheless individuals don’t win by themselves Jordan had 3 years of college and came into the league closer to a developed product than Wemby is now and the Bulls were 38-44, 30-52 and 40-42 his first 3 seasons 1-9 in playoff games , Spurs relative to the rest of the current league if you took the best player off of each team last year had a bottom 3 roster and this year it’s not that much better this year so being 15-15 isn’t bad given there’s no one else even close to being an allstar and he’s 20 years old. I think people just make up rules on how many wins and or championships someone should have to legitimize a player and just disregard it’s a team sport and the situations are completely different.
In the near future, NBA lineups will be 5 skilled big men, who have guard-like handles, passing, play making, able to shoot 3s at 45%, able to dominate the paint in offense and defense
>Tell Wemby to get inside the paint *Wemby get inside the paint >Defenders now just park the bus around the rim cause why bother defending the 3 point lane? >Oh no, Wemby still too good! >Foul Wemby a lot >Wemby shots 12 free throws a game *NBA is dying... why Wemby shots 12 free throw a game?!!

Because he's so tall he shoots over people so he's never got anyone in his eye line and also when he releases the shot he pretty much doesn't have to put a lot of Arc on it because he's almost shooting down at the rim already so the only thing he needs to get right is distance contr he has such an advantage and why tall three-point shooters do have such an advantage? It's exciting to see how you defended I'm not sure. I would say good luck with that.
If the basketball culture display on the comments here is a rappresentation of the national culture we understand why the NBA is looking like a las Vegas strip show for drunk people under the Adam Silver hands.
Joker, Giannis, Shay, Tatum, Luka. No other, I'm french & love Wemby 💕 By the end of the season though, I might be able to name only 2😂 I still think Tatum, Shay & Luka are above Wemby by a thin margin because of their +/- and their impact on winning.
@anthonybousquet1585 jokic and gannis definitely, but if he keeps playing like this and you consider the impact both on defense and offense it's going to be a debate with everyone else.
When Tf are you RUclipsrs gunna start the conversation about people being iidi0ts complaining about all the 3-point shots because if they used common sense then they would understand that its a new aspect of the game that will be honed and shooting averages are going to go up every year 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Jokic averaging 50% from three, there will be LOTS of players in the future who will accomplish this to the point where its normalized and we aren’t just watching guys toss up bricks hoping they’re luck….
@RayanButler-h2m that's my point though... 7'4 centre that shoots over 60% near the rim, it's letting the defense off. Look at jokic.. shooting close to 50% from 3 on less volume... he punishes defense down low and then when open shoots better shots for 3. Wemby needs to find the right balance. But it's only his 2nd season.... but 16 shots from 3 is crazy for someone that size
As amazing as Wemby is, unless these translate to wins, it's not going to matter too much. TD's contributions to his team during his first two seasons were still more impressive. Mind you, TD had more help, but he still led his team to the promised land. I hope Wemby can do the same and more.
@@anthonybousquet1585 Where is he carrying his team. They are 11th in the west played mostly bad teams, they have the 2nd toughest schedule remaining in the NBA.
@bornaseki4195 Well, he's no doubt the best player and go-to-guy of the Spurs. 2 years ago, they were the worst team in NBA. Now, they are not horrible in a super stacked conference. By the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised that SA qualifies from the play-in. As I stated, Spurs are still very far away from a title, but in 5 years, we'll see 👀 😉 And right now, Wemby carries almost all the weight of SAS on his shoulders. At 20. As a sophomore. Already best defender of the league. If you are unimpressed, nothing I can do 🤗
Everyone under 25 will be like, "Ohh, you're just hating, and you're a casual and don't know basketball". But hear me out...Wemby, against the Knicks, was 16-31 from the field, which is pretty good but not great for someone with his size and skill. However, consider this, he is 6-16 from 3. That means he missed 10 3's and was shooting 76% from the field from 2. Had he stopped at 6 3's and taken the rest as 2's, let's say, he didn't continue shooting at 76%, but he dropped to 65%. They win that GAME! I thought greatness was about WINNING games, not having impressive stat lines. They lost because he took 16 3's that's the take away. Playing to your advantage. Ok, I'm done, ya'll can call me all kinds of names now.
@@tyrismaxey BS. Spurs made 15 TOs (5 for Knicks) and didn't even try to rebound in money time so they didn't lose because Wemby didn't make 50, they lost because the other guys didn't play D in the last minutes. Too many chokers in this team : that's the reason why they lost their 2 last games at the very end. Plus the coach used Sochan as a backup center (which is a joke) so he couldn't defend on the perimeter : the result was a ton of O rebounds for the Knicks and an open wing for Bridges... who used it perfectly. When everybody has been bad but Wemby, Sochan and CP3, you don't win against a good team playing at home.
@Ebriel0000000 I understand you don't get it, it's not just about scoring 50. There's something called winning plays. 15 TO's isn't even abnormal in the NBA 14 is league avg. Not holding Vic to any standards is not helping him, nor does it make you look more informed to blame role players for being role players. They lost by 3. 3 less 3's and take those shots at the rim at winning plays. There is a point of diminishing returns. When his teammates see him miss 3pter numbers 7-16 you see their heads drop. You wanna teammate to rebound? Well jacking up 3s has the opposite effect, you want them engaged, 3s ain't gonna do it. Not winning basketball!
@@tyrismaxey nah just let him chuck all the 3s he wants. spurs likes to see him healthy for a good amount of years rather than banging his undeveloped frame into the paint and getting injured. spurs f.o knows what they are doing especially pop
People ragged on Michael Jordan back in 1986 about his lack of team success, right?Alien athleticism and ability, doing things nobody had seen before, but...... What a loser, he couldn't get the bulls above 40 wins in two seasons. Empty stats guy. Never amounted to anything. 😁
@Mike-r4h I didn't call him a loser, you did. In fact, I didn't say anything at all about him, I pointed out a fact about the San Antonio record, in order to illustrate how childish the title of the video is.

Almost as tiresome as being considered a hater unless you are literally verbally fellating the guy.

Jordan had 3 years of college and came into the league closer to a developed product than Wemby is now and the Bulls were 38-44, 30-52 and 40-42 his first 3 seasons 1-9 in playoff games , Spurs relative to the rest of the current league if you took the best player off of each team last year had a bottom 3 roster and this year it’s not that much better this year so being 15-15 isn’t bad given there’s no one else even close to being an allstar and he’s 20 years old.
I think people just make up rules on how many wins and or championships someone should have to legitimize a player and just disregard it’s a team sport and the situations are completely different.
In the near future, NBA lineups will be 5 skilled big men, who have guard-like handles, passing, play making, able to shoot 3s at 45%, able to dominate the paint in offense and defense
>Tell Wemby to get inside the paint
*Wemby get inside the paint
>Defenders now just park the bus around the rim cause why bother defending the 3 point lane?
>Oh no, Wemby still too good!
>Foul Wemby a lot
>Wemby shots 12 free throws a game
*NBA is dying... why Wemby shots 12 free throw a game?!!
Modern Day Wilt In Coming 💯
Wemby is becoming Avatar he will master all types of play in basketball... Offense,Defense,Playmaking
Just 20 years old 😮 , this kid gonna be huge with more U.S basket-ball knowledge 😅
I was there, watching basketball, in 1984. Some kid entered the league and started doing things nobody thought possible. We all know what that led to.
Ah yes. Sam Bowie. He did the unimaginable!
@@RyJsLn 😁. Sam Bowie gets a ton of crap, and he shouldn't have been picked that high. But before his injuries, the guy could fly around the court, for a seven footer.
Hi 6man, nice vid
Hey Ani thank you as always :)
@ 😄
his is the only game I watch live now
Wemby top 5 mvp
W vid ❤
❤️
GOAT in training !
In the last 8 games he’s averaging 30 points per game like he’s really him!!!!!
Wemby will flirt with multiple Quintuple Double games over his career
only and only injury can prevent him from becoming the best in the league by far
if he stays healthy he will be the face of the nba
The NBA Is Breaking Basketball
God I love being a spurs fan man. Jus dominate bigs since b4 I was alive😂

Talking heads on ESPN need to change the narrative because wemby’s offensive package is Kevin Durant not Shaq
imagine, Jokic and Wemby in the same league at the same time in the same reality. Something broke.
1:37 Reggie Milla finding himself in an all time basketball ranking 😂
The blocks, assists, rebounds, and steals are cool…but the 3pt shooting is insane.
He understands it now
3:45 is a travel or double dribble.
How just how
@@joshuaadesomoju1270 Takes the ball with two hands, takes two steps, pump fakes and than dribbles. By any made up interpretation of the rules that is clear and blatant travel but because the NBA is a circus show and not real basketball they let it slide.
@@joshuaadesomoju1270it isn’t a travel it’s a gather to a pump then a one dribble pull up
@@bornaseki4195he set his feet during the catch and then pump faked? you can’t be serious
@@amityvville 3:43 literally has both hands on the ball than jumps into a two step pump fakes than dribbles. I dont know what you are smoking but it must be some good shit.
They might be too good to build a team around him
Lemby will never be able to carry a team😂
@Downtown7637 as you a great life....
Might?
People really said there was a wemby problem after his bad start to the season
Giving embrittle a taste of his own medicine is so good makes me appreciate wemby even more
The defense is insane.
VICTOR has shot 3s his whole life.
ok, this is insane but could Wemby be THE ONE who scores 100 a second time? Stay with me on this one.
Because he's so tall he shoots over people so he's never got anyone in his eye line and also when he releases the shot he pretty much doesn't have to put a lot of Arc on it because he's almost shooting down at the rim already so the only thing he needs to get right is distance contr he has such an advantage and why tall three-point shooters do have such an advantage? It's exciting to see how you defended I'm not sure. I would say good luck with that.
I want to see Wemby shoot 0 3's in 1 game just for science.
Not good for his game
@@ripito-eo6rh He's 20 years old. Just 1 game shooting zero 3's is not going to destroy him.
@@starscream8Life there would be no reason to , if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@ripito-eo6rh You're not even a bit curious to see what type of numbers he'd put up if he shot zero 3's? Like 1 game in his entire 2000 game career?
@@starscream8Life I just wouldn’t get the point
6man you should do a top 10 currently list and top 10 all time list fr
Oh I don’t have enough historical knowledge to do a top 10 haha
@@6manYT do a current top 10
Just imagine how scary he’s gonna be when he puts on 25 pounds
Or if he managed to put on 50 pounds
And still maintain dancers feet
generational
I won't say that offensively he need to play in the paint more but you shouldn't be shooting 16 three-pointers in the game only making six
2:43 NOBODY and I mean NOBODY not even wemby is like the 🐐 KD 😤💪🏿
OG did amazing on him tho
i dont want wemby to shoot 3s. get your ass inside lol
Come on..only five games..reviu after season end 😁
Europeans showing americans they are better at basketball now 💪
I blame tingus pingus
Wemby is mastering the flop too. Another enjoyment void that the casuals like to hype up.
Cade Cunningham video next? 😁
What is scary is that he looks more and more confortable every new game
Why the random embiid shots?
Hes shooting under 36% from 3.
First! Like Wemby
Yay
He followed up and blocked martin then let him go and lay it in anyway
The fact this gUY got a Chrismas day game before Paolo Banchero is why the league is FAILING.
Free throws is the most impressive thing about him as a basketball player. That's where he is appearing as an alien
If the basketball culture display on the comments here is a rappresentation of the national culture we understand why the NBA is looking like a las Vegas strip show for drunk people under the Adam Silver hands.
before 10 min club like if you are here before 10 min
Name me 5 better players this year
Joker, Giannis, Shay, Tatum, Luka. No other, I'm french & love Wemby 💕
By the end of the season though, I might be able to name only 2😂
I still think Tatum, Shay & Luka are above Wemby by a thin margin because of their +/- and their impact on winning.
@anthonybousquet1585 jokic and gannis definitely, but if he keeps playing like this and you consider the impact both on defense and offense it's going to be a debate with everyone else.
@alessio7702 yes man 👍 if you read my answer again, you'll see that we share the same opinion 😉
@anthonybousquet1585 sure man I know
@@anthonybousquet1585 Luka out. He’s Top 5.
I want to read a video title of “____ has fixed basketball.” The NBA is boring right now.
When Tf are you RUclipsrs gunna start the conversation about people being iidi0ts complaining about all the 3-point shots because if they used common sense then they would understand that its a new aspect of the game that will be honed and shooting averages are going to go up every year 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Jokic averaging 50% from three, there will be LOTS of players in the future who will accomplish this to the point where its normalized and we aren’t just watching guys toss up bricks hoping they’re luck….
6/16... not really something that should be happening from a 7'4 guy tbh... but he'll find the right balance hopefully
6/16 from three or from the field?
@RayanButler-h2m from 3
@@mikeossedryver8562 That’s 37.5% which is pretty good especially for a 7’4 center
@RayanButler-h2m that's my point though... 7'4 centre that shoots over 60% near the rim, it's letting the defense off. Look at jokic.. shooting close to 50% from 3 on less volume... he punishes defense down low and then when open shoots better shots for 3. Wemby needs to find the right balance. But it's only his 2nd season.... but 16 shots from 3 is crazy for someone that size
The problem is Wemby is not a center.
W
Beautiful to watch + efficient is the mark of great ones, in any sport
They lost the game against the Knicks. Great performance, it means nothing if you lose.
And yet..he cant make the playoffs or convert it to wins
As amazing as Wemby is, unless these translate to wins, it's not going to matter too much. TD's contributions to his team during his first two seasons were still more impressive. Mind you, TD had more help, but he still led his team to the promised land. I hope Wemby can do the same and more.
TD play with MVP Admiral and good vet. What are you talking about… No comparison. Hope we can built around him
They’re 500 in a very tough conference on a rebuilding team. Trust me they will be really good!
Bro his team trash and they above .500
TD had The Admiral since day 1. It's not "more help", it's so much better. If TD had begun with Collins and no PG, you could compare.
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Wemby whats everything wrong with today NBA
Why you’re here then? 😂😂 Stick to cricket
He's not a good shooter. Low 30%, with many in the 40+%.....Jokic literally at 50.0 from three.
Lemby will never be able to carry a team he will always be in playin😂
As you kid...
He already carries his team.... on his sophomore year. Come back in 5 😏
@@anthonybousquet1585 Where is he carrying his team. They are 11th in the west played mostly bad teams, they have the 2nd toughest schedule remaining in the NBA.
@bornaseki4195 Well, he's no doubt the best player and go-to-guy of the Spurs. 2 years ago, they were the worst team in NBA.
Now, they are not horrible in a super stacked conference. By the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised that SA qualifies from the play-in.
As I stated, Spurs are still very far away from a title, but in 5 years, we'll see 👀 😉
And right now, Wemby carries almost all the weight of SAS on his shoulders.
At 20. As a sophomore. Already best defender of the league. If you are unimpressed, nothing I can do 🤗
I would like to see him dominate more in the paint. Shooting 3’s cool but bruh super tall
because he is tall
Everyone under 25 will be like, "Ohh, you're just hating, and you're a casual and don't know basketball". But hear me out...Wemby, against the Knicks, was 16-31 from the field, which is pretty good but not great for someone with his size and skill. However, consider this, he is 6-16 from 3. That means he missed 10 3's and was shooting 76% from the field from 2. Had he stopped at 6 3's and taken the rest as 2's, let's say, he didn't continue shooting at 76%, but he dropped to 65%. They win that GAME! I thought greatness was about WINNING games, not having impressive stat lines. They lost because he took 16 3's that's the take away. Playing to your advantage. Ok, I'm done, ya'll can call me all kinds of names now.
they lost because his other teammates sucks especially vassel
@AtsyKlr they lost by 3, not 30. Great players traditionally only need the teammates to get you within striking distance.
@@tyrismaxey BS. Spurs made 15 TOs (5 for Knicks) and didn't even try to rebound in money time so they didn't lose because Wemby didn't make 50, they lost because the other guys didn't play D in the last minutes. Too many chokers in this team : that's the reason why they lost their 2 last games at the very end. Plus the coach used Sochan as a backup center (which is a joke) so he couldn't defend on the perimeter : the result was a ton of O rebounds for the Knicks and an open wing for Bridges... who used it perfectly. When everybody has been bad but Wemby, Sochan and CP3, you don't win against a good team playing at home.
@Ebriel0000000 I understand you don't get it, it's not just about scoring 50. There's something called winning plays. 15 TO's isn't even abnormal in the NBA 14 is league avg. Not holding Vic to any standards is not helping him, nor does it make you look more informed to blame role players for being role players. They lost by 3. 3 less 3's and take those shots at the rim at winning plays. There is a point of diminishing returns. When his teammates see him miss 3pter numbers 7-16 you see their heads drop. You wanna teammate to rebound? Well jacking up 3s has the opposite effect, you want them engaged, 3s ain't gonna do it. Not winning basketball!
@@tyrismaxey nah just let him chuck all the 3s he wants. spurs likes to see him healthy for a good amount of years rather than banging his undeveloped frame into the paint and getting injured. spurs f.o knows what they are doing especially pop
when he's done "breaking basketball", can you ask him to get his team over .500?
Nobody will, so DIY, you hater.
People ragged on Michael Jordan back in 1986 about his lack of team success, right?Alien athleticism and ability, doing things nobody had seen before, but...... What a loser, he couldn't get the bulls above 40 wins in two seasons. Empty stats guy. Never amounted to anything. 😁
@Mike-r4h I didn't call him a loser, you did. In fact, I didn't say anything at all about him, I pointed out a fact about the San Antonio record, in order to illustrate how childish the title of the video is. Its just annoying listening to people crown everyone who comes along as the best EVER of something before they've even started shaving. Almost as tiresome as being considered a hater unless you are literally verbally fellating the guy.
I mean he’s putting up prime Hakeem Olajuwon numbers as a 20 year old and his team is 500 but sure
@@50Nobody50 I didn't call MJ a loser either, back then. Some did, while others anointed him as they next great who would take over the league. You know, kind of like what's happening with Wemby now😁. Time will tell, but the similarities are striking.
