I think one of the other things we need to realize is there are no other stars around him yet. Imagine a true star that can score and distribute for real... someone like a prime cp3. If he ever gets that, things will be so interesting.
You are exactly right. People of San Antonio need to fill their stadium every night Wembi is throwing his bricks and they need to be load as if it is a playoff game. He is just a must to watch and support and cheer for even if he throws away ball after ball. After this year, he will be 20, will have 80 nba games under his belt and an additional whole summer to improve shooting and stability of his legs. And if San Antonio decide to buy a good play maker that can fill him with balls, then San Antonio will be very very dangerous next year.
Love your videos. great explanation especially at the end. I mean in my time the only players that had immediate impacts on their teams were Bird and Magic (with magic winning a title and finals mvp in his rookie year and bird getting ROY honors that year and both being college players). I like how Pop is letting VW play his game, so i am anxious to see what plays they will start running for him. Season is still young, its a young spurs team, and they need a true PG. I say to myself Pop needs to get John Wall on the team. Hes experienced, an all-star who can help develop the young guards and get Victor the ball. In time, like you said. LJ MJ Joker all took some time to develop it didnt happen right away. I am excited for VWs NBA future.
Jokic came to NBA as nobody, fat, 156th draft pick, played semi-pro club in Serbia, never played Euroleague game and for first 3 seasons he was garbage time player, substitute to Nurkic, Fareed and Plumley, played power forward, not center, and only when coach Mallone realized his potential as center and playmaker, he immediately became one of best players in the league. On the other hand, Wnbanyama is breed to be NBA star, to be 1st draft pick and given star role from the start with all offense and deffense centered around him and with all media attention! They are uncomparable in terms of league debut, role play in team in rookie season as well as play style and type of player and physique! Anyway Jokic droped 38 points (basicaly triple-double) on Wenbanyama and it was blowout win for Denver.
It goes to show that talent and hard work can overcome any preconceived notions or expectations. It's always exciting to see players like Jokic defy the odds and make a significant impact on the league.
@@GOATiology Maybe, maybe...or it exposes ruthless media machinery! I just hope media hype wont get into Wenbanyama's head! All while Holmgren (somewhat) quietly goes for rookie of the year!
@@escapedfromlazalazarevic what flags of two of poorest entities in Europe have to do with NBA or Wnbanyama? Are you having a stroke? Seek help and say no to drugs!
Wemby gets his weight and strength up , he can dominate the DPOY award year after year. Blocking ability is insane. dude would be insane on special teams in the NFL.
Wow, absolutely! Wemby's dedication to improving his weight and strength is truly commendable. If he keeps up this level of performance, there's no doubt he could dominate the DPOY award year after year.
Wenbanyama is the future, he's got the right coach, and the right fan base, the sky is the limit, love his attitude to, he didn't come into the league claiming to be the king, his game shows he is working to get that title though, the NBA has a bright future, congrats san antonio from a Nuggets fan. Jokic, Luka, Yannis, Embiid, what a great time to be a fan. This is the golden age of basketball.
Wenbanyama is a game-changer, and I couldn't agree more about the bright future ahead. His dedication, paired with the right coaching and fan support, is a winning combination.
Jokic on Wembanyama 'He's 19 years old, he's not getting tired or getting scared. He's playing hard and he wants to be good. He's making mistakes, which is normal ... He's going to change the game, 100%. (So) just enjoy and watch the show and let the guy change the game.'
Agree. Your perspective on Wemby's approach to taking so many 3s is spot on. It's evident that he's working on developing his skills in that area, and the process of becoming more efficient at it takes time.
yo that last point about the importance of experience was great. even LBJ and MJ had some issues in their first years, yet i still critique too quickly
This is the perfect time for him to practice those tough threes. Trial by fire. I'm sure Pop is the one telling him to shoot those shots whenever he can. As long as he stays healthy and disciplined, everything else will fall into place for him
It seems like Pop is encouraging him to embrace the challenge, and I trust in his ability to execute. As long as he maintains his health and discipline, I'm confident that we'll see great progress.
I mean, Wemby posted a stat line in the game that had never been done ever by a rookie. And he did it in less than 25 minutes. The thing is, he isn’t playing with a true point guard. Who knows how better he’d be playing if he plays with a PG who actually is skilled in passing the ball.
there are many NBA players who could be stars if only they had a good point guard. Easier said than done dud otherwise every team would have done the same. Tre young is a good player but a disaster of a person. He wouldn't last very long, the kid cant grow up.
Been watching this channel for a little over a month and I just now noticed your subscriber count… May sound funny but I got a little excited - I get to watch this channel blow up
Thank you so much for your kind words! I couldn't agree more about Victor's incredible performance, 6 steals in under 30 minutes is truly impressive. It's a testament to his skill and defensive prowess on the court. And when it comes to Jokic, you've hit the nail on the head.
Something i noticed somedays ago, and could notice even more in this video, is how hurt jokic looks at the back of his arms. Dude is always with scratches and red circles all over the arms, thats crazy
Jokic is the Yogi Berra of basketball with quotes like “I lead the league in scratches”. Hilarious and not joking. Maybe someday there will be an “S” stats column for scratches due to him
Wemby changed the game defensively when he was in. Unfortunately for him, jokic is too smart and skilled, so wemby was in foul trouble almost immediately. Next year, he'll level up on experience and be scary. He's the only guy I've seen intercept multiple jokic passes in a game
Imagine if Wemby could shoot a sky hook like Kareem… He would be unstoppable. And that shot could mean less physical contact that could help him stay healthy.
Absolutely! Wemby's potential to add a sky hook to his repertoire would be a game-changer. Channeling Kareem's finesse in that shot could not only make him virtually unstoppable on the court but also reduce the wear and tear on his body. It's exciting to think about the strategic advantage and the longevity it could bring to his career.
This kid is averaging nearly 20pts 10reb and 3bpg his rookie year.. shooting percentages are normal woahs for rookies. But he’s also doing this in less than 30 minutes averages is what really pops out. Once this team makes some proper moves and this young man trains and gets stronger and skilled This team will be in contention and he will probably average 30ppg 12rbg 3bpg on high efficiency few years down the line.
Wow, that's truly impressive! This kid is already putting up incredible numbers in his rookie year, and the fact that he's doing it in less than 30 minutes per game is remarkable.
It's funny Jokic's highlights came when Wemby wasn't on the floor. Couple more seasons and pounds put on and Wemby will probably be in the MVP conversation. His height and athleticism along with his skill are crazy for such a young player.
Wemby's definitely got the potential to make a huge impact. It's all part of the game strategy, right? But yeah, excited to see how he develops over the next few seasons.
This kid is my new favorite player to watch... I still love watching guys like tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton, but he's the player to watch for the next couple years
I remember when tony parker was just 19 yrs old and playing for the Spurs. His potential is not limited. Only staying healthy and with luck staying injury free will dictate his legacy.
He’s really really big and as coordinated as we’ve ever seen at that size. Interesting to see how his cardio holds up and also if he has a killer instinct to compete.
It is fascinating to see how Wemby f*cks with the mental heuristics these guys have honed over many seasons in the NBA. What the proper speed is for a pass, the safe distance from the defender horizontally and vertically, all the spatial geometry that applies when delivering a safe passes or getting off shots. And then a telescopic arm extrends beyond what reason and experience tells you is possible and deflects or steals passes. An endless sequence of wtf moments.
Part of Wemby's recent success is based on 7 footers not being used to a guy being 4 inches taller than them. I'm curious what it will look like when players stop trying to pass over Wemby and switch to bounce passes instead.
Wemby's height advantage is definitely a game-changer, but you bring up an interesting point about adapting strategies. I think once players start using bounce passes against him, it's going to be a whole new ball game.
Excellent breakdown-and an effective sub pitch. For both, I subbed. One small correction (easy to miss): Christian Braun’s last name is pronounced “Brown”.
I think the fact that he can always get a shot fake out of his opponents could be taken advantage of more by his teammates. Since the opponents know he's going up whenever he can they have to shot fake.
The one I don’t particularly like in the NBA still is the blatant offensive elbow Jokic constantly uses to separate. It’s been illegal for as long as I remember but as soon as Jokic came around the refs started playing birdgame on the court. Personally, without his constant shoving he gets away with, he wouldn’t need as big of an offensive threat. Beast still but definitely not as efficient in the paint.
@@joerybicki1679 they got away with a few here and there but Shaq didn’t need elbows with his mass. Anytime I see Jokic highlights at the cup it’s always him flagrantly molesting the defender and just lazily laying it in. It’s not even fundamentals, it’s just cheating. Yeah he can shoot and is great with the ball in his hands but he’s got about as good a scoring game at the tin as his athleticism.
i see what you're saying but it happens more often than you think. MJ and Kobe used that elbow often. Lmfao. So many scorers do. That elbow and then that slight push off when you change direction. My god that dudes get away with so much but it's part of the game. I got to play college and coaches will look for ways to get around refs and play dirty against dirty players lmfao. It's funny but man it works. Shaq likes to step under you and then use his body weight to just move you. Lmfao so he gets close. Steps under you stealing your space and then if you struggle and push back...the refs might focus on you. Shaq then holds his position and demands the ball and then basically removes the chair from under these players and always creates space that way. It's so funny and so cheap. You almost have to make a SERIOUS rule to prevent it but how else do you play in the paint? Lol. I've seen shaq get close to dudes like touching and then just uses his butt to just push people away and he looks at the ref as if he was there the entire time. It's so funny players get away with all sorts of stuff dude. I've seen MJ push off so hard you can tell he is shocked that he didn't get a call. While everyone else thought the player slipped or something but nope MJ straight up gave him a quick push just enough to make him slip lmfao@@VanyaPopov0
@@tylerdurden9920 I know it’s been around and it’s more prevalent in the smaller superstars who like to drive but hooking, which is something Jokic does frequently was and is still illegal. You just described Shaq using his mass to move people, that’s not cheating, that’s physics. Jokic can’t finish without cheating because the dude has a 10” vert. It’s just cheap they let him get away with it because he’d a hell of alot less spelling to watch than he already is. Again, he’s impressive with everything until you watch him closely in the paint using his off hand all the time. I played 2 guard a long time and it’s difficult to defend a big guy who’s allowed to stiff arm you.
Beautiful vid buddy, great visuals, great editing, great script and so enjoyable delivering, voice, tone, speed... you are a nice guy, keep it up buddy.
One year and Wemby will be so good he will dominate already. Jokic always says he can read in advance what Pop is planning against him but there's Wembanyama who Pop just let be Wemby who can stop him.
Absolutely, the potential for Wembanyama is incredible! It's exciting to think about how he could evolve and dominate the game in just one year. Pop's recognition of his unique talent speaks volumes, and it's going to be fascinating to see how Wembanyama's skills develop over time.
Worth noting the Nuggets were without their 2nd and 3rd best player in this game. Jokic is the best in the league at making everyone else around him better. He is so good he's created a brand new player archetype, the floor general center. The Spurs, on the other hand, are doing Wemby a disservice with that terrible Sochan experiment. They need to pair him with a veteran point guard who can run the offence. They need some experience and leadership to help Wemby flourish in the NBA.
Absolutely, the absence of the Nuggets' key players was palpable in this game. Jokic's ability to elevate the entire team is truly remarkable, and he has indeed crafted a unique style as a floor general center. It's a testament to his versatility and basketball IQ.
all tall skinny players get injured a lot. Kareem was stronger and smarter than people remember and played at a time when fouls weren't given out for breathing on someone. Wemby is too young to make a judgement on his future MVP status as I have seen countless guys be praised as the next great player only they weren't, other teams will adjust.
Huh? Did you watch the game? Vic only had 1 Foul on Joker. ( A rip through) and didn’t pick up his 4th till the 1st min in the 4th. And didn’t play the entire 4th…
ill take any 19 yr old rookie producing 22 pts 11reb 4blk and 6 stl while only playing 25 minutes, against the joker with last year's nba championship roster, any day of the week.
Love the emphasis on CONTEXT! Damn! We need everyone to get away from super-lazy, instant gratification, "thinking" and headline addiction , and get back to careful, substantive, deep-thinking. Try to put things into as much context as possible, folks. CONTEXT is EVERYTHING!
“Winning is hard in the NBA.” i love that statement because all of our favorite NBA stars have tasted defeat before. Very true it takes a lot of development to get a championship.
This was 3 months ago. It is incredible how Wemby has gotten better in that little time span. Barring injuries he will become one of the NBA greatest all time players for sure.
All this talk about Wembanyama modelling himself on a Durant-like game, but I think he could model himself on a slightly more traditional centre (even though the result will be unique). Super-charged Olajuwon game would be pretty great, would increase his efficiency and probably help him to avoid injury.
@@GOATiology yeah I kind of think of Olajuwon just because his game was this unique thing that no other player has ever really recreated, partly because of the limiting factors of being so tall. One of the original dominate in 5 stats player, that's now possible again.
Olajuwon was so much more stronger than this kid will ever hope to be. At his height he really cant bulk up very much as that will shorten his career with constant injuries.

It Jokic a few years against veterans to understand the NBA game .
He'll eventually get there .
Wemby's instincts are impressive, and it's clear that Jokic's journey to understanding the NBA game takes time.
Jokic plays his own game!
I think one of the other things we need to realize is there are no other stars around him yet. Imagine a true star that can score and distribute for real... someone like a prime cp3. If he ever gets that, things will be so interesting.
Thanks for your thoughts, Zach!
They said that about Patrick Ewing for 20 years.Never had a true superstar next to him. Blah,blah,blah
Man, your approach is perfect! Wemby has just started, he is amazing but, like anyone else, needs experience in the NBA. He will get there, no doubt!
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
GOAT slowly becoming the GOAT of basketball channels. Another phenomenal video.
Thanks Abba!
You are exactly right. People of San Antonio need to fill their stadium every night Wembi is throwing his bricks and they need to be load as if it is a playoff game. He is just a must to watch and support and cheer for even if he throws away ball after ball. After this year, he will be 20, will have 80 nba games under his belt and an additional whole summer to improve shooting and stability of his legs. And if San Antonio decide to buy a good play maker that can fill him with balls, then San Antonio will be very very dangerous next year.
Absolutely, you've hit the nail on the head! The atmosphere in the stadium when Wembi is on fire is something else.
Love your videos. great explanation especially at the end. I mean in my time the only players that had immediate impacts on their teams were Bird and Magic (with magic winning a title and finals mvp in his rookie year and bird getting ROY honors that year and both being college players). I like how Pop is letting VW play his game, so i am anxious to see what plays they will start running for him. Season is still young, its a young spurs team, and they need a true PG. I say to myself Pop needs to get John Wall on the team. Hes experienced, an all-star who can help develop the young guards and get Victor the ball. In time, like you said. LJ MJ Joker all took some time to develop it didnt happen right away. I am excited for VWs NBA future.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching!
Jokic came to NBA as nobody, fat, 156th draft pick, played semi-pro club in Serbia, never played Euroleague game and for first 3 seasons he was garbage time player, substitute to Nurkic, Fareed and Plumley, played power forward, not center, and only when coach Mallone realized his potential as center and playmaker, he immediately became one of best players in the league. On the other hand, Wnbanyama is breed to be NBA star, to be 1st draft pick and given star role from the start with all offense and deffense centered around him and with all media attention! They are uncomparable in terms of league debut, role play in team in rookie season as well as play style and type of player and physique! Anyway Jokic droped 38 points (basicaly triple-double) on Wenbanyama and it was blowout win for Denver.
@@juice7687 dude, I was exaggerating for the effect!
It goes to show that talent and hard work can overcome any preconceived notions or expectations. It's always exciting to see players like Jokic defy the odds and make a significant impact on the league.
@@GOATiology Maybe, maybe...or it exposes ruthless media machinery! I just hope media hype wont get into Wenbanyama's head! All while Holmgren (somewhat) quietly goes for rookie of the year!
@@dusanpiscevic6213 🇽🇰🇦🇱
@@escapedfromlazalazarevic what flags of two of poorest entities in Europe have to do with NBA or Wnbanyama? Are you having a stroke? Seek help and say no to drugs!
Wemby gets his weight and strength up , he can dominate the DPOY award year after year. Blocking ability is insane. dude would be insane on special teams in the NFL.
Wow, absolutely! Wemby's dedication to improving his weight and strength is truly commendable. If he keeps up this level of performance, there's no doubt he could dominate the DPOY award year after year.
Wenbanyama is the future, he's got the right coach, and the right fan base, the sky is the limit, love his attitude to, he didn't come into the league claiming to be the king, his game shows he is working to get that title though, the NBA has a bright future, congrats san antonio from a Nuggets fan. Jokic, Luka, Yannis, Embiid, what a great time to be a fan. This is the golden age of basketball.
Wenbanyama is a game-changer, and I couldn't agree more about the bright future ahead. His dedication, paired with the right coaching and fan support, is a winning combination.
Just wanted to say Thank You for your dedication to each video man. Really appreciate your work!
Woah, means a lot. Thank you!
I really hope wemby has an attitude like giannis or jokic, a humble and serious tone. He knows he’s one of a kind, hope he can stay humble
Same here, hoping too.
Excellent video with the simple explanations that make the play easier to understand and appreciate.
Yay! Thanks for watching, Jane. 😊
ahahaha i wanted you to make a video about this first duel and you provided
I heard you! Haha! Thanks for watching.
Going to be fun to watch this young man come up.
Excited on his career.
Jokic on Wembanyama 'He's 19 years old, he's not getting tired or getting scared. He's playing hard and he wants to be good. He's making mistakes, which is normal ... He's going to change the game, 100%. (So) just enjoy and watch the show and let the guy change the game.'
I share your enthusiasm for Wemby's performance, especially as we approach the playoff season.
You and jonny arnett have some of the best basketball content..
Just pure basketball content
No bs
Thank you!
100% agree with being patient with Wemby taking so many 3s. No better time to become efficient at it.
Agree. Your perspective on Wemby's approach to taking so many 3s is spot on. It's evident that he's working on developing his skills in that area, and the process of becoming more efficient at it takes time.
I dont miss any of ur videos man keep it up theyre amazing
I appreciate that. Thanks!
yo that last point about the importance of experience was great. even LBJ and MJ had some issues in their first years, yet i still critique too quickly
🤣 @ comparing queen james to MJ.
Thank you for watching!
Great closing remarks. You can only grow and get to the next level by going through rough times
Thanks for watching.
This is the perfect time for him to practice those tough threes. Trial by fire. I'm sure Pop is the one telling him to shoot those shots whenever he can. As long as he stays healthy and disciplined, everything else will fall into place for him
It seems like Pop is encouraging him to embrace the challenge, and I trust in his ability to execute. As long as he maintains his health and discipline, I'm confident that we'll see great progress.
Great freaking V/O - brother! I’m staying Goated! 🐐
Appreciate it. Thank you!
I mean, Wemby posted a stat line in the game that had never been done ever by a rookie. And he did it in less than 25 minutes.
The thing is, he isn’t playing with a true point guard. Who knows how better he’d be playing if he plays with a PG who actually is skilled in passing the ball.
Absolutely, Wemby's stat line was nothing short of incredible, especially for a rookie!
there are many NBA players who could be stars if only they had a good point guard. Easier said than done dud otherwise every team would have done the same. Tre young is a good player but a disaster of a person. He wouldn't last very long, the kid cant grow up.
Been watching this channel for a little over a month and I just now noticed your subscriber count… May sound funny but I got a little excited - I get to watch this channel blow up
Means a lot, Luke. Thank you!
how do you only get 500 veiws on this its a masterpiece. keep up the good work!
Just you being here is all that matters brother :)
it was uploaded 18 minutes ago…
Reminds me of Stretch from NBA Street. It's aamzing to see such a young player practically dominate out the gate.
Absolutely!
7:49 We take exception for Tim Duncan. He came to the league as a college graduate. He was an instant winner.
Tim Duncan's legacy as an instant winner and a role model is truly remarkable.
You deserve every view on this video. Honestly one of the best basketball channels fr💯💯💯🙏🙏
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Excellent analysis.
Victor is amazingly talented. 6 steals in under 30 minutes. Wow
Jokic plays with such smarts and finesse
Thank you so much for your kind words! I couldn't agree more about Victor's incredible performance, 6 steals in under 30 minutes is truly impressive. It's a testament to his skill and defensive prowess on the court. And when it comes to Jokic, you've hit the nail on the head.
So excited to watch Wemby grow!
Same here!
what a content.. you got what it takes to become GOAT
Yay! Thank you so much, Patrik!
NOT BY HIM TELLING THE LIE THAT JOKIC IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD.
I love the qoutes on the last bit. Beautiful video
Thank you so much!
Something i noticed somedays ago, and could notice even more in this video, is how hurt jokic looks at the back of his arms. Dude is always with scratches and red circles all over the arms, thats crazy
It just goes to show how much he puts into every play.
Jokic is the Yogi Berra of basketball with quotes like “I lead the league in scratches”. Hilarious and not joking. Maybe someday there will be an “S” stats column for scratches due to him
1:23 got me crying 😂😂 imagine throwing a lob pass to the paint and a mf steal it without jumping
Lmao. 😂
Wemby changed the game defensively when he was in. Unfortunately for him, jokic is too smart and skilled, so wemby was in foul trouble almost immediately. Next year, he'll level up on experience and be scary. He's the only guy I've seen intercept multiple jokic passes in a game
Nuggets were just making poor passes against him, next time they match up he wont get those easy steals that were basically gifted to him
Every time I watch him he does something I've never seen before.
@AkaThePistachio we're going to see more pass fakes to bounce pass type stuff. Have to get that windmill off balance first.
I completely agree! His potential is definitely something to look forward to!
@@AkaThePistachiowas never gifted jokic is just stupid keep crying
Exceptional analysis. Deserves a subscribe!
Thank you for the sub, also for watching!
Imagine if Wemby could shoot a sky hook like Kareem… He would be unstoppable. And that shot could mean less physical contact that could help him stay healthy.
Absolutely! Wemby's potential to add a sky hook to his repertoire would be a game-changer. Channeling Kareem's finesse in that shot could not only make him virtually unstoppable on the court but also reduce the wear and tear on his body. It's exciting to think about the strategic advantage and the longevity it could bring to his career.
I love those one handed catch and finishes joker does makes it look easy
Thanks for watching.
This kid is averaging nearly 20pts 10reb and 3bpg his rookie year.. shooting percentages are normal woahs for rookies. But he’s also doing this in less than 30 minutes averages is what really pops out. Once this team makes some proper moves and this young man trains and gets stronger and skilled This team will be in contention and he will probably average 30ppg 12rbg 3bpg on high efficiency few years down the line.
Wow, that's truly impressive! This kid is already putting up incredible numbers in his rookie year, and the fact that he's doing it in less than 30 minutes per game is remarkable.
Another great video my friend!
Thank you!
It's funny Jokic's highlights came when Wemby wasn't on the floor. Couple more seasons and pounds put on and Wemby will probably be in the MVP conversation. His height and athleticism along with his skill are crazy for such a young player.
Wemby's definitely got the potential to make a huge impact. It's all part of the game strategy, right? But yeah, excited to see how he develops over the next few seasons.
This kid is my new favorite player to watch... I still love watching guys like tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton, but he's the player to watch for the next couple years
Exciting times ahead for him! 🙏
They’ve got a gem in this kid and he will get smarter and better, building around this kid is key, just like the nuggets did with the joker.
Absolutely, couldn't agree more! This young talent is like a raw diamond with immense potential.
My dude. Imma have to follow you. The way you talk about the game is beautiful. You just earned one over here!!!
Wow! Thanks for the sub!
This video is GOAT.
Thank you!!
I remember when tony parker was just 19 yrs old and playing for the Spurs. His potential is not limited. Only staying healthy and with luck staying injury free will dictate his legacy.
Tony Parker's journey with the Spurs at such a young age was truly remarkable. It's incredible to think about the potential he had even back then.
He’s really really big and as coordinated as we’ve ever seen at that size. Interesting to see how his cardio holds up and also if he has a killer instinct to compete.
Every gap in play just bumps up lotto drafts keep shooting those threes they'll turn to fours
Absolutely, Wemby's size and coordination are insane.
Great analysis, you are good at this
Thanks for watching!
It is fascinating to see how Wemby f*cks with the mental heuristics these guys have honed over many seasons in the NBA. What the proper speed is for a pass, the safe distance from the defender horizontally and vertically, all the spatial geometry that applies when delivering a safe passes or getting off shots. And then a telescopic arm extrends beyond what reason and experience tells you is possible and deflects or steals passes. An endless sequence of wtf moments.
His ability to extend his arm beyond what seems reasonable and intercept passes adds a whole new dimension to the game.
solid video with the correct perspective. well done.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Part of Wemby's recent success is based on 7 footers not being used to a guy being 4 inches taller than them. I'm curious what it will look like when players stop trying to pass over Wemby and switch to bounce passes instead.
Wemby's height advantage is definitely a game-changer, but you bring up an interesting point about adapting strategies. I think once players start using bounce passes against him, it's going to be a whole new ball game.
he will get injured a lot and foul a lot. From the tall people I know many struggle with back pain from bending down so much.
Excellent breakdown-and an effective sub pitch. For both, I subbed. One small correction (easy to miss): Christian Braun’s last name is pronounced “Brown”.
Thanks for watching, for the sub, also for the info.
I think the fact that he can always get a shot fake out of his opponents could be taken advantage of more by his teammates. Since the opponents know he's going up whenever he can they have to shot fake.
Exploiting his ability to draw shot fakes from opponents is a strategic move that could open up more opportunities for their team.
your breakdowns are simply amazing, skillz! xoxo
Glad you like them!
The one I don’t particularly like in the NBA still is the blatant offensive elbow Jokic constantly uses to separate. It’s been illegal for as long as I remember but as soon as Jokic came around the refs started playing birdgame on the court.
Personally, without his constant shoving he gets away with, he wouldn’t need as big of an offensive threat. Beast still but definitely not as efficient in the paint.
That was Charles Barkley and shaqs whole offensive career. Both elbows up high!
@@joerybicki1679 they got away with a few here and there but Shaq didn’t need elbows with his mass. Anytime I see Jokic highlights at the cup it’s always him flagrantly molesting the defender and just lazily laying it in. It’s not even fundamentals, it’s just cheating.
Yeah he can shoot and is great with the ball in his hands but he’s got about as good a scoring game at the tin as his athleticism.
@@VanyaPopov0 what an insane level of cope
i see what you're saying but it happens more often than you think. MJ and Kobe used that elbow often. Lmfao. So many scorers do. That elbow and then that slight push off when you change direction. My god that dudes get away with so much but it's part of the game. I got to play college and coaches will look for ways to get around refs and play dirty against dirty players lmfao. It's funny but man it works. Shaq likes to step under you and then use his body weight to just move you. Lmfao so he gets close. Steps under you stealing your space and then if you struggle and push back...the refs might focus on you. Shaq then holds his position and demands the ball and then basically removes the chair from under these players and always creates space that way. It's so funny and so cheap. You almost have to make a SERIOUS rule to prevent it but how else do you play in the paint? Lol. I've seen shaq get close to dudes like touching and then just uses his butt to just push people away and he looks at the ref as if he was there the entire time. It's so funny players get away with all sorts of stuff dude. I've seen MJ push off so hard you can tell he is shocked that he didn't get a call. While everyone else thought the player slipped or something but nope MJ straight up gave him a quick push just enough to make him slip lmfao@@VanyaPopov0
@@tylerdurden9920 I know it’s been around and it’s more prevalent in the smaller superstars who like to drive but hooking, which is something Jokic does frequently was and is still illegal.
You just described Shaq using his mass to move people, that’s not cheating, that’s physics. Jokic can’t finish without cheating because the dude has a 10” vert.
It’s just cheap they let him get away with it because he’d a hell of alot less spelling to watch than he already is. Again, he’s impressive with everything until you watch him closely in the paint using his off hand all the time. I played 2 guard a long time and it’s difficult to defend a big guy who’s allowed to stiff arm you.
Beautiful vid buddy, great visuals, great editing, great script and so enjoyable delivering, voice, tone, speed... you are a nice guy, keep it up buddy.
Thanks a ton Alfredo!
One year and Wemby will be so good he will dominate already.
Jokic always says he can read in advance what Pop is planning against him but there's Wembanyama who Pop just let be Wemby who can stop him.
I'm predicting he will be be injury prone and play half the year every year and never reach his full potential
he wont, he isnt like other bigman. Dude can strech like a Ballerina, and he will only get stronger@@thetankman8
Absolutely, the potential for Wembanyama is incredible! It's exciting to think about how he could evolve and dominate the game in just one year. Pop's recognition of his unique talent speaks volumes, and it's going to be fascinating to see how Wembanyama's skills develop over time.
I learned more about basketball watching this video than all the games I have ever watched put together.
Wow! Thanks for watching!
Worth noting the Nuggets were without their 2nd and 3rd best player in this game. Jokic is the best in the league at making everyone else around him better. He is so good he's created a brand new player archetype, the floor general center. The Spurs, on the other hand, are doing Wemby a disservice with that terrible Sochan experiment. They need to pair him with a veteran point guard who can run the offence. They need some experience and leadership to help Wemby flourish in the NBA.
Absolutely, the absence of the Nuggets' key players was palpable in this game. Jokic's ability to elevate the entire team is truly remarkable, and he has indeed crafted a unique style as a floor general center. It's a testament to his versatility and basketball IQ.
Excellent analysis. Perfect slo-mos!
Thank you kindly!
Wemby is 19!!!? Damn. Hope he has a relatively injury-free career. I want to see how far this tall kid goes.

The sad thing is Wemby is going to spend a lot of his career injured.
Let's just pray not to happen.
all tall skinny players get injured a lot. Kareem was stronger and smarter than people remember and played at a time when fouls weren't given out for breathing on someone. Wemby is too young to make a judgement on his future MVP status as I have seen countless guys be praised as the next great player only they weren't, other teams will adjust.
Wemby is what everyone thought Porzingis would be
🤔
He only played 25 mins because Jokic had him in deep foul trouble all game.
Once he develops discipline and builds up some muscle mass then he’ll be a monster. But god help the league if he bulks up like Giannis did. 😱
It wasn’t really that deep
Huh? Did you watch the game? Vic only had 1 Foul on Joker. ( A rip through) and didn’t pick up his 4th till the 1st min in the 4th. And didn’t play the entire 4th…
Why the lie, bro? 😂
@@jflores2792 lol yep and one of the fouls was a phantom foul
He's already got the master within the franchise... The Big Fundamental.
ill take any 19 yr old rookie producing 22 pts 11reb 4blk and 6 stl while only playing 25 minutes, against the joker with last year's nba championship roster, any day of the week.
Maybe on your fantasy team but in the nba I'm choosing jokic every time right now
I mean the guy looks like a walking injury to me. I hope he has a solid career but I see a guy that will have either chronic foot or back issues.
Absolutely! That 19 year old rookie is showcasing incredible talent and efficiency with those impressive stats. I

“Winning is hard in the NBA.” i love that statement because all of our favorite NBA stars have tasted defeat before. Very true it takes a lot of development to get a championship.
Absolutely! The journey to a championship in the NBA is paired with challenges and growth.
You have good basketball analysis Goat
Thank you!
This was 3 months ago. It is incredible how Wemby has gotten better in that little time span. Barring injuries he will become one of the NBA greatest all time players for sure.
Absolutely! Wemby's rapid improvement over the past three months is remarkable.
Great video, loved it
Thanks! Glad you loved it.
All this talk about Wembanyama modelling himself on a Durant-like game, but I think he could model himself on a slightly more traditional centre (even though the result will be unique). Super-charged Olajuwon game would be pretty great, would increase his efficiency and probably help him to avoid injury.
It's fascinating to think about how he could blend that classic approach with his own unique flair to create something truly exceptional on the court
@@GOATiology yeah I kind of think of Olajuwon just because his game was this unique thing that no other player has ever really recreated, partly because of the limiting factors of being so tall. One of the original dominate in 5 stats player, that's now possible again.
Olajuwon was so much more stronger than this kid will ever hope to be. At his height he really cant bulk up very much as that will shorten his career with constant injuries.
Patience spurs fan, we are in a right direction. A lot to learn, is not about winning, its about looking for the future with wemby and championship.
Absolutely. Patience is key.
