I watch charlie for his personality and love seeing vids abt crazy stuff happening around the world, but its amazing when i see him talk abt something that i truly like
Ya same it's weird. It's like ohh... i actually know more about this than you lol. Surprised at the Paul with the Spurs r gonna b championship level tho, like disagree. They'll definitely be better than last yr, but they aren't gonna b championship level
@@NaruBrilui kinda believe they can be lowkey contenders tho, they finally got someone that's gonna throw the ball to wemby for once 😂 and vassell is lowkey a killer alongside keldon johnson. They gone be way better for sure tho.
I do have a feeling that with the way the NBA is heading going after these super tall (6'10-7'5) players that can do it all. It will get to the point that having a player who is 6'3 will be seen as and advantage and the league will go back to small ball. It will be this never ending pendulum between having a team of short players and tall players
@@Poisonous_Plants15 Nobody except the fans of the specific teams in the Finals wants a short, winning series for their team. Everybody else thought the Finals was underwhelming as hell. Mavericks had no business being there. Celtics were too dominant they intentionally gave a gentleman's sweep just so they could win at home.
@@yoRyann27they did not have "absolutely no business being there" lol. They beat Clipper, Okc and Minnesota who they were all underdogs for every series. Was just a bad matchup for them. Which is what a lot of basketball playoffs end up being at the end of the day. Wolves were a better matchup against Denver, but then the Mavs were a better matchup against Minnesota. Also can we stop with that bs narrative of they let them win one. No team, especially at this high of a level, is going to "let" the opposing team win. Mavs just played better that game and held Boston off defensively more than Boston did to them
I think this year will be a lot more interesting; the West has been really competitive, a different finalist in the last 5 years whereas in the East its only been Boston and Miami. With Knicks acquiring Bridges and Philly getting PG, it'll give Boston more to worry about but i still see Boston coming out.
The only time height will become a disadvantage in basketball is if players become taller than the ring itself. Until that point a taller person with the same skills as someone shorter than them, will always be more valuable.
He’s gonna be too slow for the nba, the centres of todays league are able to bring the ball up the court and pick and pop from 3, he will need to work on his athleticism or he’s gonna get left on the dust, that’s why most tall players are skinnier
Shaq did 1000 calve raises every night to get his legs to support him. And even then after 2 years his foot was wrecked. Had 1 more good year after that and done.
Paul does not push them into a championship level team. They r definitely waay better as a team, than last yr, with him on there. But only having 2 stars is not gonna get u far especially considering one is old and past his prime and the other is young and still growing into the league. I feel like this is more of a move to get a really good Vet to teach the other players how to play with Wemby and also teach/help Wemby too. Obviously it's probably gonna b lob city 2.0 for Paul again lol
3:55 The only way to deal with a guy much bigger than you is to try to block his vision. Unless he's really experienced it will probably work decently well. Just have to stop him getting to the post
@@JRRM97 Giannis is a top of the NBA level athlete, even if I could stop him from getting a position in the post somehow, he could probably beat me even if he closes his eyes for every shot
no he doesn’t. wemby is ready, it’s just up to the spurs to build a good team around him. he quite literally had the worst collection of talent i’ve ever seen on any team of my 15 years of watching basketball 😭
if that kid puts on muscle its over for everyone under 6'8 he can move and he's 8 inches taller than Shaq.... AND he's only 18 so he's going to keep growing for a few more years... AND he's only 3 inches under 8ft so he has a real chance at being the first 8 footer in the league AND he has a normal body structure that can actually handle a little more weight so it wont slow him down... that kid has more potential then i've ever seen
People that think cp3 and wemby aren't a championship level threat didn't know the okc, suns and rockets wouldn't reach the conference finals without him.
Ya i think it's such a weird pickup. Arguably makes the team worse. Like ya, he's a great shooter and that's definitely what Dallas was lacking in the Finals. But like.. Klay is not as good as he used to be. Even tho he was a good 2 way player too, his defense has also gotten worse bcuz of injuries etc. Now in your starting 5 you have 3 defensive liabilities that the opposing team can exploit. Luka has gotten better at defense but it's still not great
Ya that's a very crazy take. They'll def be better than last yr, but having Paul alone is not gonna move the team to championship contender lol. He's old and past his prime
Josh Jackson, Jonny Flynn played in McDonald's game too lol where are they now? And unlike nepo baby they actually were good.. another one, Kyle guy played 3yrs in college and got a championship with Virginia, his first year he put up 7 n 2 in 15mpg on a better team, nepo baby in 19mpg put up 5pts on a weak team.
biggest publicity stunt in the NBA. just think: Lakers will sell out every game this year. how could they NOT do it? Bronny was prob pressured to get into the Draft before LeBron got any older
@@CrevXO guess what smooth brain?? go back to school for some reading comprehension skills. that's not what I said. i said they would sell out every game... not every game LeBron plays. people will buy tickets now whether LeBron is playing or not. just as an FYI there were only 12 teams with a sold out regular season this past year and the Lakers is NOT on that list. don't know much about reading comprehension OR sports 🏀🏀🏀
Wasn't Bronny a McDonalds All-American before he had his cardiac arrest? He was projected to go in the first round but the medical issues held him back. He's actually better than where he was drafted. To say he only got drafted because of Lebron is a little disrespectful to the work he's put in.
He was a mcdonalds all American because he’s Lebron son. And the fact that he’s undersized and a pro athlete that suffered cardiac arrest would only diminish his chances of being successful. There are thousands of players across the nation that work hard and don’t get drafted. It’s ok to admit the lakers drafted him to keep Lebron happy it’s ok
He wouldnt have been an all american with another name and that was before he shit the bed at college. hte guy drafted 1 spot behind him has double the points at better efficiency for example.
Who is drafting a 6’1 point guard who cant playmake, has heart problems, and was a bench player for almost all of his high school and collegiate career?

7 ft + players didn’t used to be able to shoot or dribble like this
@@12yearsa57nahhhhh 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Its already happening. Teams are running dry on point guard facilitators for length and its paying
A skilled 7 footer will always be more valuable than a skilled 6 footer. This is just the first time we’ve seen players this tall and skilled.
I like the ball talk, NBA is fucking fun lately other than an underwhelming finals.
Playoffs: 🔥🔥🔥
Finals: 🥱😴💩
All bcuz a team is dominant doesnt mean its underwhelming

I like when Charlie talks hoops. Can tell the guy enjoys the game.
We need a weekly basketball talk show
I love when Charlie talks about bball
Im excited for next season with a slightly new Hornets roster. It looks like we're on a decent track hopefully in 3 years we're a playoff team lol.
we love charlie basketball talk
Charlie would be another TJ McConnell
more basketball talk please

charlie doesn’t know Chris Paul is washed lol adorable
Nah there’s still value in Chris Paul especially when it comes to his assist skills and overall ball knowledge.
@@stevenmark4407they counted him out when he went to OKC lol he will be a great leader for the Spurs and will give Wemby easy buckets
For what he’s going to be asked to do not really, he’s literally just going to pick and roll, crab dribble into the paint and toss lobs
@@PHXNKVHXLICand thats 5 seasons ago its 2025
Don't forget Bronny also had to stop playing last year because he went into Cardiac Arrest lol
Atlanta Hawks, baby!!! 🏆 🏀
2k25 vid gonna be a banger
7:55 the actual problem is the clark fans
Riders republic is fire 🔥
For almost 8 feet tall. His legs are muscular not skinny like most. That's a big difference
He’s gonna be too slow for the nba, the centres of todays league are able to bring the ball up the court and pick and pop from 3, he will need to work on his athleticism or he’s gonna get left on the dust, that’s why most tall players are skinnier
@@47dynasty28thats not even true. wemby is the only guy that fits the criteria you just described
Shaq did 1000 calve raises every night to get his legs to support him. And even then after 2 years his foot was wrecked. Had 1 more good year after that and done.
Another playoff choke coming for CP3, can’t wait
He’s an old man there’s no one with high expectations anymore bruh
Wemby is inevitable. Go Spurs Go.
Problem with players that grow really tall young is they dont learn skills early on
Paul does not push them into a championship level team. They r definitely waay better as a team, than last yr, with him on there. But only having 2 stars is not gonna get u far especially considering one is old and past his prime and the other is young and still growing into the league.

agreed
Couldn't find a better veteran pg for Wemby though
I disagree with Charlie about Wemby with CP3, CP3 is the one that needs to stay healthy in order for the Spurs to thrive.
3:55 The only way to deal with a guy much bigger than you is to try to block his vision. Unless he's really experienced it will probably work decently well. Just have to stop him getting to the post
kinda hard to stop a 6'11 250 Giannis from getting to the post
@@JRRM97 Giannis is a top of the NBA level athlete, even if I could stop him from getting a position in the post somehow, he could probably beat me even if he closes his eyes for every shot
Same way working government jobs, you know someone it’s easy to get in, you don’t, it’s tough unless you’re former active duty
Charlie bro the kid had a heart attack we can chill hey
Wemby needs 2 more years. Good rookies now though. / Okc and Wolves and Celtics are gonna be tough.
no he doesn’t. wemby is ready, it’s just up to the spurs to build a good team around him. he quite literally had the worst collection of talent i’ve ever seen on any team of my 15 years of watching basketball 😭
Spurs championship team😭

thats not how basketball works, people that tall cant just put on muscle, Taco fall is the perfect example
People that think cp3 and wemby aren't a championship level threat didn't know the okc, suns and rockets wouldn't reach the conference finals without him.
Yes but Chris Paul is damn near 40
The spurs not making the playoffs
Unc know ball??
Tbh no one would’ve batted an eye if bronny just joined any other team but the lakers… like cmon make it a little less obvious Jesus.
As a mavericks fan them signing Klay Thompson makes Luka’s job so much harder makes me sad
no it doesn't lol klay is a good fuckin shooter
bruh what lmfao???
Bro acts like klay wouldn’t have done better than hardaway bricking all those shots in the finals
You mean he has more help now? what part of that makes his job harder?
Ya i think it's such a weird pickup. Arguably makes the team worse. Like ya, he's a great shooter and that's definitely what Dallas was lacking in the Finals. But like..

Nah WWZ was fun! Hard disagree on it being dogshit
Charlie knows nothing about ball lol
W
world war z was and is fun lmao
He has lost his mind wemby with paul is not no fucking championship team
Who will pass him the ball when Paul gets hurt
Ya that's a very crazy take. They'll def be better than last yr, but having Paul alone is not gonna move the team to championship contender lol. He's old and past his prime
Bronny wasn't even the best player on his HS team

Basketball cant be taken seriosuly if theres no height limit xd
The reason there's no height limit is bc it's so rare for someone 7,3+ to actually be good enough to play in the nba...
