I like Giannis and Victor, because unlike other elite players, they don't spend the entire game avoiding each other on the court...
real
i mean that's a coaches decision though
Yup, they go head-to-head.
@@davidh1500
nah... it's just a matter of having balls.
while others hide and do interviews saying the league is pushing the Victor narrative as a DPOY, Giannis faces him for 4 quarters without fear.
AD and others are afraid of the comparison on the court.
Giannis, no.
real men recognize real men.
there are only a few in the league.
and it always makes for cool games: Vic/Joker and Vic/Giannis are one of those.
@@patfarget-nm3mt that all sounds great, love these players, but all defense stuff is defensive schemes ran a million times in practice dictated entirely by what their coach wants them to run. Them guarding each other is no testament to manliness or competitiveness its literally just following instructions. It was a bit of an out of the norm choice in that usually star players aren't set to guard each other because coaches want their stamina for offense usually. In this case nobody on either team but each other could guard the other so we get this fun.
one of the most fun games I have watched lately, two giants of NBA currently fighting against eachother and no one is scared or avoiding the other, respect to them both. Giannis has impressed me so much this year, I had him to get over 30pts on Stake and of course he delivers again, mr consistent 🔥
how is Giannis so damn good?? what a baller
God help Giannis if this kid puts on some muscle. How many blocks did the kid get?????
I’m in love with wembi 👍
wendy lost
they both overrated
as crazy as Wemby is..
i really have to appreciate Giannis.
He scored in so many different ways. Bully ball, Post up, up and unders, turnaround midrange, Dirk fade, hookshot, putbacks and his freight train drive.
He was always criticized for a dude that just put his head down and ran through people but hes got crazy offensive variety
He also doesn't force any bad shots he barely takes a 3 pointer
Way less skilled than Wemby!
be a lot harder to score if he couldnt just walk around with the ball without dribbling
Mans was traveling. 5:33 😂
@triggerfingers5811 yeah that happens but it's not his fault the ref don't see it
The back to back blocks on Giannis on two consecutive possessions is a thing of beauty and reminds me of the NBA big man legends of the 90s. Thank you Wemby for making the NBA fun again. Amazing battle between two amazing bigs and I look forward to the rematch.
The second block is a thing of beauty. Would have called a foul on the first one though.
Very true, Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing era vibes back!!!
@jonathanratel3150 right?! That's exactly what I was feeling
Wemby's 2ND SEASON and he's already this good. We are witnessing greatness.
In the meantime Zion .... 😥
He's the future of the league, that's obvious at this point.
@@Blafard666Zion is a future top 3.
Statistically he's no better than last year. He was on a minutes restriction. The per-36 numbers are pretty identical. It surprised me to learn that. I think he's obviously improved.
@@jumpinjohnnyruss it was potential minutes which he couldn't do. Now, he has the time for, and he does it. first talent is availability when it comes to win and perform.
Because, since the beginning, what is the catchphrase with him : "If he stay healthy"... Now, we know. Next step, more availability OR efficiency.
As a Bucks fan I can feel nothing but respect for Wemby. He's so insane, the only player in the world that can make Giannis feel small at times. This one was a tough one for us but we'll meet again.
Now try imagine if Wemby builds up muscle down the road of his NBA career like Giannis (Giannis was skinny too in his early NBA days)
Hope this new all-star format allows Wemby to be at the 5 and Giannis to be at the 4 on the same squad👀👀
@@e_wky yeah but as giannis bulked up his shooting got worse every year, look at clips of giannis shooting in his first two seasons it looks like KD shooting
@@kenji_747 yeah i dont imagine wemby bulking up to the level of giannis but he still does need a tad bit more muscle to help on his drives from the perimeter.
@@e_wky he wont build muscle cause wemby wants to play like KD
Love that Giannis takes this matchup so seriously
It because he doesn’t like being blocked. Especalky multiple times
I agree but also you can tell that Wemby is gonna whoop his ass 2or 3 years from now.
@@arieldevolgado6788 Next 1-2 years will be the most even matchups, with Giannis at the tail end of his prime.
@@arieldevolgado6788nah yall are tripping.. Giannis has been better than Wemby in every way since 2018.. Wemby would have to improve from where he is now. Giannis is a walking 29,12,6 for like 8 years
@@BlueDrew10To say Giannis is/will be at the tail end of his prime is kind of dumb. He’s an athletic freak the likes of which the NBA has rarely seen. There’s no indication his athletic gifts are faltering. On top of that, his game is the most expansive and well-rounded that it has ever been. He’s improved every single year for 11 years. It’s odd to think he’d regress within two years.
Giannis vs Wemby is a must watch, period!
Love how Giannis tries to intimidate Wemby. And Victor isn't phased one bit.
wemby like "pffft im only a rookie and your veteran"
They all try it ... kid is just starting up ...
@@vonnovzorexactly 😅
that's fueling to him
More of unfazed wemby
Wemby's final dunk was like a volleyball player doing a spike
It’s like Godzilla vs Kong lol
Giannis does look like a pine tree though
Ikr
Kaijus
Fr
I would say more like Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. Wambamyama is too skinny for Kong.
Holy shit that block above the square
NBA is not boring if Wemby keeps playing like this.
That last slam so cold👽
Exclamation point!!
It was so 😮😮😮
He got the commentators to learn french😂😂😂😂😂😂
and it's good !! a trois points !! et c est tout ! we love it in france !
@@roms4154 "AH TWRAH PWOUIN"
I know right 😂 'À trois point'
"ça dit quoi" 😂
"Comment ça va ?" "Ça dit quoi ??"
It took like 10 years for Giannis to trust his 3 point shot while it took like 3 months for Wemby to go from 3 like every piece of cake like 1 leg jump 3s like Curry
Evolution of Wemby is insane, not height.
And yet giannis shoots 0% from 3 in the last 10 games
Wonder if Victor's physique will evolve the same way ....
@@Blafard666I HOPE SO FR💯GIANNIS WAS SUPER SKINNY AT 1ST IN THE NBA BUT EVENTUALLY BULKED UP INTO WHAT HE IS NOW💯💪🏾💪🏾HONESTLY I COULD SEE WEMBY DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR IN A FEW YEARS
@@Blafard666yo if he does bulk like that it would be crazy
Totally different. Wemby was shooting 3s in France as well. Giannis didn't have any shot... For quite a long time, more about phisiquality with him.
Wemby is just playing his game and improving, while Giannis is trying to learn new things and I'm writing this as a fan of both.
Man Wemby is actually ridiculous
Dude is literally a cheat code but good battle between Giannis and Wemby
Just pray that the new all-star format allows Wemby to be at the 5 and Giannis to be at the 4 on the same squad👀👀
@@bitcoinethereum9702 Wemby + Giannis on the same team? UNSTOPPABLE!
To put that in perspective, Wemby take the win with :
30 points
14 rebounds
6 blocks
5 threes point made
With half the amount of Giannis's FTA and only 30 minutes on the court 👽
The ft says a lot about Giannis penetration game. Wemby should play his height a bit more. It will happen as he gets older. But definitely aint a positive now to have a guy this height shooting 3s..because during hot games when the ball weights more, if he goes 0/5 his stat will be 15 points
@@deminioxst6129 We are talking about Popovich as his coach though. I'm sure that if he thought Wemby was more useful playing like Duncan that's what he would be doing. Trust the expert, he could not be in better hands.
@@deminioxst6129 Wemby has a soft wrist, this is indicated by the percentage of free throws (84% - which of the big guys had a comparable percentage?, for example, from the main Spurs team only Paul and Champagnie have a higher percentage). The episode with a long-range 3-point throw over Giannis is indicative, it was an extremely difficult throw, but Wemby made it. Now his 3-point percentage is 35%. And Victor is improving it compared to last season and the beginning of this one. It is worth increasing it to 37-38% - and this will be an indicator of stable good snipers. It will be strange to hear opinions "he should not shoot long throws" even then.
@@begalievmaksat516 don't listen my opinion listen to Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
To make it very easy for you to understand:
I can find many 35-37% 3 point shooters in the league. So that part can be done from someone else.
I can't find any other physical freak with his height and mobility in the world.
Plain and simple you don't want wemby to settle for 3s. One day he will be a hero the next a villain. With the proper way he will always be consistent like what Giannis is.
A bad day is 30p with 50% a good is 35 with 70%.
And we agree he has a touch but it can be a supplementary tool, not the bread and butter.
As i mentioned i believe with time he will stop fading away from 3
@@deminioxst6129It doesn't matter. Wemby doesn't get calls. People look at the instances of him "flopping", but that is not the norm. Refs let guys wrap their arms, bump him, shove him. It doesn't really matter.
5:23 no one else, except maybe Wilt, has ever blocked a shot like that before. Extraterrestrial
Agreed..... unreal.....
Facts
Wilt Chamberlain. when he was blocking Kareem Sky-hook. Wilt was more athletic than Wemby, that's why he could litteraly grab the top of the back-board! Wemby is the closest to that.
Dwight……….
Probably Hakeem too
Nah Giannis has really evolved offensively. Jumpshot, turnaround midrange, dirk fade, hookshot, putbacks, bully ball. Hes scary lol
Wemby got that in his bag before he joined nba😭👨🍼
@@plug2735 pls stop d-riding
Coupled with crazy efficiency. His going to be a problem if healthy during the playoffs
@@slimasauras says the guy who calls giannis a greek freak😭 bro got out played by a 20 year old😭imagineeee
@@plug2735 Out played? giannis has posted higher statistics than wemby in all 3 games they’ve played. Why not just appreciate their different skillsets instead of hating?
Le commentateur us qui parle en français j'adore
I have been watching the NBA for yrs now but OMG Wemby does bring the excitement we miss, damn his game is what is called Fluid basketball beautiful. He should be MVP all year
Wembanyama has advantage to giannis because he is much taller and has longer hands than giannis, so Giannis still dunk in front of his face multiple times is impressed
Credit to Wambamyama, he doesn’t back down from a fight… at least not yet.
Alien vs. Predator
Underrated comment
This is tough lol
Karl Malone playing?
Holy shit man@@nikobellic2515
Giannis mid range improvement is not talked about at all.
i like that
It definitely is on hoops podcasts lmao
He was supposed to improve years ago, all everyone used to say was “when he gets a 3pt shot, it’s over for the league” dude was resting on his laurels after that chip
@ Him improving AFTER the chip is even more noteworthy.
"Comment ça va !!"
"C'est fou !!!!"
😂🤙🇫🇷
À 3 points !!
@@mickagwada3591 twa
Match énorme de Wemby, quel dernier contre, tellement haut!
Et les commentateurs qui parlent français 😂, excellent. 🏀🇨🇵👍
C'EST FOUUU!!!!
À twa points 🎉
C'est fouuuuuu
@@colonelmayo9033 haha
Giannis marquera des points comme on mange des croissants. We will win the next one!
What a duel, i love them both and i'm happy to see them on the same court fighting with all their heart !
pure cinema, they did not dissapoint
I love wemby/giannis duels ^^
Best versus in the NBA, that one handed 3 point shot by wemby was sick.🔥
Wemby is growing every day
5:30 Ungodly travel by Giannis, he does these a lot
I thought I was crazy lol I had to roll it back and count the steps
I really like Giannis and he is very good, but you are right here. I hope it will be called on him more often.
All the NBA travel a lot from several years!!! than when they play Olimpics they get indignant evry tima the referees call it!!
these are 6 gather steps. Casual
@ Possibly, but Giannis in the olympics was dominant too.
Wemby is making them speak french 🥖😂
0:55 has to be one of the funniest plays this season. Castle had 1 thought and that was "Duuunk"
Lmfaoo seriously. Castle was going nowhere with that weak sh*t
he wasn't even gonna hit rim with that too lmao, didn't elevate at ALL.
So Lopez stopped him with his hand, watch Lopez's right hand in the episode.
@begalievmaksat516 yea but castle still tried to dunk it , he cocked back and dunked it into air lmaoo
I enjoy Giannis and Victor because, unlike other elite players, they do not spend the entire game avoiding each other on the court...
Stop stealing comments
@pTrzor glad im not the only one who noticed 💀
Copy paste
I enjoy Giannis and Victor because, unlike other elite players, they do not spend the entire game avoiding each other on the court...
Dead internet theory
Victor the Beast ❤
Turns out yes, he actually is going to be that good my goodness Wemby... and its still his second season 😅
6:21 that was nasty!😤 Giannis wasn't tryna meet the 👽 at the rim
He could have too but didn’t
@@JPTexas-o5qywah he could have been posterized for life… that why he chicken shit himself.
Giannis vs Wemby is always entertaining. Just two fierce competitors!
put some respect on Wemby's name !!
Already in his second year in the league, Wemby is in no way inferior to the most athletic player - Giannis, he gave him 3 blocks and even hammered in a spectacular dunk. In 2-3 years, Wemby will be able to be contained by only 3-4 players in the entire league!
He already is contained by two or three players, only teams running two centres & giannis. Giannis is his worst match up by far from a 1 v 1 aspect. Cavs/memphis/okc etc all these teams running two 7 footers at the same time are his toughest team assignments.
Sometimes i think we take Giannis for granted, this dude is unreal
that was cold work by wemby! the play where he saved the ball from a backcourt violation and got the 3, the 1-legged hop 3, the vicious slam at the end - this man is freak v2
Wemby is making these commentators let out their inner French...
Wembanyama is improving fast!
Wow that was an f-ing duel..2 absolute beasts!!
Wemby getting ready for all star!
Hope this new all-star format allows Wemby to be at the 5 and Giannis to be at the 4 on the same squad👀👀
I confirm ! I really enjoyed this battle between Giannis vs Wemby. nice Game
Is this block at 5:23 the highest ever in NBA ?
Maybe
Possibly
That's a good question
no , Wilt
Wilt Chamberlain has the highest.
Imagine wemby puts on some weight....😂😂😂😂im lost for words
A TROIS POINNNTTTSS killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wemby is special. He’s a 7’5” wing
wemby....you're crazy!!! Amazing !!!
Im just appreciating how they don't avoid each other like... at all 😅.
And they both did their thing, Giannis scored on Wemby several times, but Wemby also blocked him a couple times.
I really love this kind of showdown where both sides refuse to back down.
J’adore ce genre d’affrontement où personne ne veut céder.
that wemby block on the top of the square tells more about the future. Damn this dude once he gets to his prime, its over.
The play at 3:05 is not a block by Wemby (I wish, as I'm French). Giannis just lost control of the ball.
Not fair. Look how easy it is for Wmby to make shots and Giannis is working so hard on the other end.
Chamberlain vs Russell next génération
they make nba fun to watch again
THIS… is what we want to see. Stars DUELING 😊
3:08 not block at all
Yeah and the very first block was a foul too lollll came straight to the comments. Refs need glasses bru you can see that shit from the camera
Crazy how VW blocked a high floating layup.
Yeah they called goaltending but that was a block….. 😂
wew the last dunk is so satisfying to watch, doinkkkkkkk
Les commentaires en français c'est pour me tuer !! C'est fou !!! Comment ça va ???
le "ça dit kwaa" aussi mdr, obligé y'a un français dans leurs studio, c'est une expression beaucoup trop street pour être apprise dans les manuels 😂
"C'est d'la folie" ça passeait encore mieux
That 5:08 has gotta set a record of the highest block ever. That ball was at least 12 - 13 feet in the air.
I like wemby.he is all around player.love it.
Back to Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing era vibes!!! 😅
Crazy how it took all these years to find something like Wemby. They told like 15 other guys that they had the torch. They were just placeholders.
I feel like wemby's gonna be a Tim Duncan-type trash talker: "Not bad." "Good try." "Close one." "Oops."
Future MVP vs Back to Back MVP
Love seeing these two face each other
That last dunk was personal ☠️
Love Wemby❤❤❤
giannis will just be a stepping stone to vic's illustrious career 🔥
One foot three, he’s has the whole package, crazy as it gets
The commentator’s French is improving game after game 😂
Love seeing Keldon and Wemby on the floor together working.
Playing like the 90s, ain't they???
1st saison wemby vs Bol and chet
2nd saison wemby vs giannis and jokic
3rd saison wemby vs wemby !!!
Damn... Finally🔥.. Wemby dunked🔥..
Se fou! What a great commentator
My two beloved younger brothers going to a WAR. A show to watch every time it comes up. RESPECT!
Just to think that This isn’t even Wembys Final form is crazy 😱
What the fuck am I watching 🤣🙌🏾
Masterclass coaching from Coach Doc Rivers and Coach Darvin Ham. Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂
Godzilla vs Kong everytime those two are on the field.
2:33 When the offensive player grabs your arm but the ref calls foul on you
cough* *James Harden* *cough
Tony Brothers strikes again (and he hates Spurs too)
"C'est fou" 😂😂😂
“One Foot C’est Fou Victor“ ❤
bro 144-118 against the 4th seed in the east? this is some 1st seed type performance
With the right management of the team, I don’t see why they can’t win it all within the next 3 years.
right now they are capable of beating any team on a given night just not in a series. They still need a wing that can space the floor and defend. I am not sure why Castle keeps playing the wing when he is more of a point guard.
@@darrylbrown8253because they have cp3 and vassell.
The Spurs have to work on their defense some more but the upside for them is crazy good….
Huge wemby fan, but gotta admit Giannis absolutely shut him down the previoud two matchups. Amazing to see how he continues to evolve! Unreal
“Ça dit quoi?!” 😂 👍
love this matchup so much
Love the commentaries “comment ca va ?” “A trois points “ “ca dit quoi “
35/14/6/1 vs 30/14/1/6 another legendary match
C'est fou Indeeeed😂😂😂.
Allez Victor!
I like how he is getting really good at 3s. It’s just not what you would expect but it’s a good skill because then he can’t be boxed into one style of play by the rim.
3:37 à 3 points, ça dit quoi ! 🤣
4:17 comment ça va ?😅
5:59 C'EST FOU !!!
