Wemby blocks a shot, then does a euro step self lob off the glass.

[u/Djinnrb]

I mean just do that every time? lol

[u/Valuable-Average-865 → u/Djinnrb]

Why don't the other 4 Spurs players just form a circle around Wemby while locking arms every possession?

[u/According_Register55 → u/Valuable-Average-865]

Why doesn’t Wemby just eat the opposing team

[u/nickel1704 → u/According_Register55]

Why does Wemby, the largest player, not simply eat the other four?

[u/Clint12321 → u/nickel1704]

And gain their titan powers

[u/Beetrain → u/nickel1704]

Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps

[u/BuddyRose5 → u/nickel1704]

Isn’t he a vegan?

[u/peachpavlova → u/BuddyRose5]

No, he said that during monk training they had to make arrangements for him to go off of the property so he could eat other proteins since they don’t eat meat

[u/kungfuninjajedi → u/peachpavlova]

He ate other monks

[u/Kovarian → u/kungfuninjajedi]

Tastes like pie-ity.

[u/vonkillbot → u/Valuable-Average-865]

NO. We had time to do that and now we're half a week out from the season starting. If we wanted more generational summer slop we shoulda went that way vs *checks notes* talking about Johnathan Kuminga all summer.

[u/Ilikesporks_ → u/Djinnrb]

not every team has the kings defense that gives him a completely wide open lane

[u/BananaRepublic_BR → u/Ilikesporks_]

Parted the seas like Wemby is Moses. XD

[u/CFCentral → u/BananaRepublic_BR]

Seas actually move back and forth tho. Kings just be standing there watching it happen.

[u/WhichHoes → u/BananaRepublic_BR]

Moses is on the Warriors.

[u/Area51_Spurs → u/BananaRepublic_BR]

I’m only Jew-ish when it comes to practicing, but yeah. He’s pretty much some kind of biblical figure at this point doing this shit.

[u/nobodysshadow → u/Area51_Spurs]

Perfect timing on that comment. I was just wondering how Jewish you were.

[u/itgoesdownandup → u/nobodysshadow]

It's my go-to icebreaker to ask. Always get weird looks about it though

[u/IMemberchewbacca → u/Ilikesporks_]

He was running pretty fast. May not look like it, but he was covering some ground

[u/Tight-Message-846 → u/Ilikesporks_]

LaVine wouldn't go for that charge attempt in a Finals game 7 scenario let alone a play-in game lmao

[u/revisioncloud → u/Djinnrb]

Chet might die

Are you pro death?

[u/LittleTinyBoy → u/Djinnrb]

He literally can lol. He'll just never see this coverage in the playoffs though

[u/CitizenCue → u/Djinnrb]

Literally my first thought. I know it’s not always practical, but he should genuinely do it more often.

[u/Smok3dSalmon → u/Djinnrb]

Injury risk.

If a defender anticipates this shot, they can establish position and box him out while he’s watching the ball. That defender can then jump with as much force as they want. Wemby would get called with a displacement foul or over the back.

Welby could easily fall awkwardly or receive a headbutt to his chin

[u/EUWannabe]

Exactly what James Naismith envisioned basketball would be.

[u/bcparrot → u/EUWannabe]

Naismith coaching the boys: k then you underhand it off the backboard and jum… well like wayyy higher than that.  Here watch me. 

[u/Material_Leave6049 → u/EUWannabe]

Basketball in its ultimate form!

[u/Aeonics → u/EUWannabe]

Naismith techniques to basketball:

1. Set shot
2. in n out cross snatch tween btb stepback 3 and1

[u/MotoMkali]

What the fuck

[u/bcparrot → u/MotoMkali]

Like when you figure out a move in a video game that feels unfair. Except that’s just him in general.

[u/The_Dumblebee → u/MotoMkali]

Year 4 Wemby btw. I wonder how long until we normalize this and are no longer amazed by this

[u/shorts-man → u/The_Dumblebee]

I just don't see how I will ever get used to seeing this.

[u/HarryPauler → u/shorts-man]

This stuff just pisses me off. It’s this stuff that makes me think the wolves will never win a chip

[u/ResidentGerts → u/HarryPauler]

At least not until you move east

[u/HarryPauler → u/ResidentGerts]

So instead of getting beat in the wcf we can possibly be beat in the finals. Idk how that’s better.

[u/pushamn → u/HarryPauler]

It’s called progress my dude, eventually if we get to the big stage enough we’re bound to win*

*note: this theory does not apply to Minnesotan teams in the least

[u/NACJAcannon → u/HarryPauler]

Shit bro, I'll be happy with us making it to the finals for now.

[u/Objective-Product361 → u/HarryPauler]

Thing is you can still exploit his weaknesses early on (like how the knicks exploit the spurs lack of size/forward and tired wemby out).

But that window is starting to close quickly. Maybe he (and the spurs) still has some roster flaws that teams can expose but you gotta try find it now. Time is on wemby’s side. Once he fixed all weaknesses, health will be the only thing standing between him and NBA titles.

[u/yuhanz → u/The_Dumblebee]

Lol every game he does some wild shit.

I hope we dont get used to it

[u/Any_Strain1288 → u/The_Dumblebee]

I'm still amazed by Jordan clips hanging in the air. I'm sure the things Wemby is capable of will be considered just different for a long time. Not a lot of 7'6" very athletic and skilled centers out there.

[u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent → u/The_Dumblebee]

Honestly it's getting there, there were a ton of amazing plays that didn't even hit the front page. Wemby fatigue is real. But hey, I love the glaze after 2 decades of being the most boring team in NBA history 😂

[u/coysburner → u/MotoMkali]

he started his euro step a foot behind the 3 point line... i think that's a first in NBA history.

[u/N-ath-a-n → u/MotoMkali]

Every basketball fan should be praying for this mans knees, we could watch some Wilt level numbers in the 2020's and 2030's

[u/ironyisdeadish → u/MotoMkali]

what the literal fuck.

[u/cortesoft → u/MotoMkali]

He keeps getting better. How good is he going to get?

[u/ActionTop2386]

He makes Sabonis look like a baby

[u/AidsPeace → u/ActionTop2386]

THATS SABONIS???? WHAT THE FUCK i thought it was a guard

[u/mulletstation → u/ActionTop2386]

Would a baby have a doinkit? I think not

[u/TheDryIceFactory → u/mulletstation]

I'm not a baby

[u/TotalEmployment9996 → u/ActionTop2386]

Also wtf is Ben Simmons doing here? Da fuq he jump for did he think wemby was shooting that

[u/Underdog_To_Wolf → u/TotalEmployment9996]

He went for a steal and literally has to jump to reach the ball because of Wembys length and height

[u/Rellz3001 → u/Underdog_To_Wolf]

Seems to be he was trying to be a speed bump, hopeful he could slow Wemby down enough to allow the defense to set.

[u/herroherroherro → u/TotalEmployment9996]

Good defense imo.. He made wemby pickup his dribble

[u/stoicsports → u/herroherroherro]

yeah ben is quite literally the only Kings defender that did something to try and stop the guy with the ball -- props to Ben here

[u/creativeusername9275 → u/herroherroherro]

Yeah. He tried. As a Simmons hater, I expected him to be running away from Wemby so I'm actually impressed!

[u/SportsDuck_ → u/ActionTop2386]

I always think about how it must feel to be 6'10 (taller than 99.99% of anyone you'd ever meet for your whole life) and then you get to the pros and you get made to look like a child by a guy who is half a foot taller than you! 😂

[u/DrUmarTheGoat → u/ActionTop2386]

Looney and Draymond sonned Sabonis too

[u/honeybadgerrulez]

it’s like watching a college player playing ball with a bunch of 8th graders

[u/ethnol0g → u/honeybadgerrulez]

Literally what are you even supposed to do against this lol

[u/honeybadgerrulez → u/ethnol0g]

take a charge i guess. it helps wemby might knee you in the face he dunks he’s so tall lol

[u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh → u/honeybadgerrulez]

Thats actually the right answer. You're supposed to do what stops him and benefits your team. If wemby wants to run through you let him while taking a charge.

[u/_Apatosaurus_ → u/ethnol0g]

I don't know what the best option would be, but jumping past him like Ben Simmons tried was probably the worst choice. Lol.

[u/istrx13 → u/honeybadgerrulez]

Billy Madison picks up dodgeball

Now you’re all in BIG trouble.

[u/Area51_Spurs → u/honeybadgerrulez]

It’s like watching LeBron play for Bronny’s JV team.

[u/KyWy75]

Gotta be honest, it’s pretty fucked up that he can do all that

[u/WhiskeyTangoBush → u/KyWy75]

He’s one of the MonStars bro

[u/DashTrash21 → u/WhiskeyTangoBush]

Straight facts, no foolin

[u/Majestic-Warning2843 → u/KyWy75]

He put the ball on the floor one time from half court without traveling lol.

[u/make_thick_in_warm → u/KyWy75]

He’s like Bosh in that episode of parks and rec. Wouldn’t be surprised if he told Domantas he’s better at French horn too

[u/Vurtune011]

I honestly don't know how tf you guard this shit

[u/throwawaymycareer93 → u/Vurtune011]

Clog line, take charge. Same as it always was against someone flying across the court with full steam.

[u/noodlesalad_ → u/throwawaymycareer93]

A lot of business decisions being made there.

[u/BananaRepublic_BR → u/throwawaymycareer93]

I wouldn't want to take a charge from Wemby. Mad respect to those who do.

[u/Designjwalker → u/Vurtune011]

You dont lol

[u/PM_ME_PARTY_HATS → u/Vurtune011]

It requires the power of friendship

[u/istrx13 → u/PM_ME_PARTY_HATS]

Literally any defender: closes eyes I trust you Lord

Those same defenders: gets dunked tf on lmao

[u/Frigorific → u/Vurtune011]

Play a lineup with physical bigs and wear him out over 4 quarters.

[u/ajsleeper]

Coast to coast off the backboard dunk is some NBA street video game shit

[u/celiomsj → u/ajsleeper]

First few possessions and the other player does this, I'm rage quitting the game and reporting this cheater.

[u/ChiReddit85]

I’m sorry…. What the fuck is going on here?

[u/dayofdefeat_ → u/ChiReddit85]

Just a little game the humans call "basketball".

Wemby calls relaxing.

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/ChiReddit85]

CIA released one of the monstars from Space Jam

[u/0plm9okn8ijb7 → u/ChiReddit85]

It's AI bro. Move along.

[u/MBS_RL]

I do not fucking believe that this guy is the same species as me.

[u/RangerFearless6122]

How do you even code this move into 2k without breaking the game?

[u/cheesegoat → u/RangerFearless6122]

⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️

[u/onsome0]

He did that shit so smooth lol.

[u/DrLindgren → u/onsome0]

A 7'4 dude moving like that in transition shouldn't even be mechanically possible.

[u/IAmDiabeticus → u/DrLindgren]

4 dribbles for the length of the court, too. With 3 of them being on one side. Standing at half court and thinking you could make it to the hoop in 1 dribble doesn't compute in my head

[u/Area51_Spurs → u/DrLindgren]

He’s gotta be 7’6” at least now

[u/25thBum → u/Area51_Spurs]

Nah. He became 7'7" just an hour ago

[u/WheredoesithurtRA → u/25thBum]

If you stand in front of a mirror and say Wemby three times in a row then he gains a foot

[u/Tasty-Army200 → u/WheredoesithurtRA]

Nah it’s only a couple millimetres at most.

The amount of times I’ve moaned his name in front of my bathroom mirror is nuts

[u/Ghost6x → u/onsome0]

I thought the title was possibly an exaggeration but nope, he actually did a fucking euro step self lob

[u/Xuluu]

What the fuck did I just watch?? I don’t like the alien nickname but it’s apt. Dude is unbelievable

[u/Terrible_Cattle7110 → u/Xuluu]

If you don't mind me asking if you don't like the alien nickname what would you call him?

[u/RealitySufficient248 → u/Terrible_Cattle7110]

[u/ToadlyAwes0me → u/JeremyLinForever]

[u/longhairdude64]

Something underrated on this clip is he bites on the fake then the dude goes up as he is in the air and still gets blocked, its why he can afford to bite on alot of fakes.

[u/qazasxz → u/longhairdude64]

One of my favorite blocks was when Sabonis got him with the fake and they both 360 and Wemby still gets it

https://youtu.be/ZFqTa4_I5oA

Sheeshh

[u/nidrapath]

4 dribble. Wtf 😵

[u/ironyisdeadish → u/nidrapath]

4 dribbles. Absolutely insane.

[u/KrayzieBone187]

Well... that doesn't seem fair to the other team.

[u/Apprehensive_Leg6647]

euro step self lob lmao

[u/mostdope28]

Ok well… nothing you can do there

[u/Dry-Grapefruit6087]

"Oh no he picked his dribble up too soon, he gonna travel...ohh.. what the fuck did I just saw?"

[u/DryJournalist8322]

4 fuckin dribbles…. 4!

[u/byteshifter → u/DryJournalist8322]

… and only one dribble over half court. Alien!

[u/oraclestats]

I did this on the hoop on my bedroom door.

[u/Rich-Professional753]

I love how even the cameraman couldn’t wait to see what kind of nonsense Wemby was gonna do

[u/lando_calamarisian]

Honestly, how do you stop that?

...and what stopping Wemby from doing it every game everytime?

[u/Not-your-lawyer- → u/lando_calamarisian]

Man's too tall. Ball takes an eternity to dribble and bounce back up to his hands. Just draft a short guy to wait down there and catch it.

[u/dwbthrow → u/Not-your-lawyer-]

Yuki Kawamura gonna eat when he masters this move.

[u/thingleboyz1 → u/Not-your-lawyer-]

It’s a little less effective when he can pick up his dribble at the half court line and still dunk it without traveling. I wouldn’t be surprised if bro just stopped dribbling, just take two steps everywhere you go and pass it if you don’t have a clear shot and just get it right back.

Just throw the pass at the ceiling, no one is else is gonna get it lol

[u/mrwigglez3 → u/Not-your-lawyer-]

Im 5'9 I'll do it!

[u/islandboi-96]

We are used to it.

[u/Objective-Product361 → u/DanMoshpit69]

Nothing personal. Spurs are just trying to ramp up for the opener vs OKC come October 21. Whoever team they play today would’ve tasted this. Spurs are locked in. They treat the game now as a regular season game.

[u/Adorable-News-9364 → u/Objective-Product361]

It’s the 20th. Don’t miss it thinking it’s Wednesday

[u/jenso2k]

that is genuinely insane what the fuck lmao

That man just lil bro’d 2 whole nba teams. He look like me with my nephews on the 6 foot rim.

[u/BananaRepublic_BR]

Wemby is always a fun watch.

[u/ThrowawayNYCJ]

[u/Whitealroker1]

[u/MadvillainTMO]

Come on man what the fuck

[u/Ok_Matter_2617]

He’s the best basketball player I’ve ever seen. I don’t give a fuck, you all know it’s true.

The accomplishments, the awards, etc etc will all come but this is the most talented basketball player ever.

[u/MisterMonopoli → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

I think talent can be defined in a few ways, but there is no denying that this is the first player we have seen of this type in the NBA. He is capable of things that nobody else in the world can do. I'm not sure that makes him the best or most talented, but I can't wait to watch him play some more ball.

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Buckle up kids, about six months away from nephews arguing Wemby is the GOAT

[u/mellted_cheese → u/Inspiration_Bear]

He’s pretty clearly the next in line of the Russell to Kareem to Jordan to LeBron GOAT torch pass if he stays healthy and lives up to the potential. We’ll see! Lot of work to do.

[u/Ok_Foot_4634 → u/Inspiration_Bear]

In terms of what you think of when picturing a basketball player, it's literally him. Growing up, everyone playing NBA Live or 2k would make a 7'3" guy who could run, dunk, shoot the 3, and play amazing defense. Wemby is somehow a taller version of that. The only "knock" against him is that he isn't Giannis' current build of muscle, but if he ever gets there, I'm not sure what people will do against him on either end of the floor

Who knows what he'll achieve in terms of accolades, but as it stands, he absolutely has a chance to be known as the GOAT when it's all said and done

For what it's worth, I'm 36, not a nephew 

[u/Ok_Matter_2617 → u/Ok_Foot_4634]

Yeah, I’m 37. I’ve watched ALOT of basketball in my life. Hes the best I’ve ever seen

[u/hugelkult → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

For fun i checked his highlight reel…he has like 35 careers worth already

[u/Malemansam → u/hugelkult]

Even his rookie mixtapes is the most insane shit you can watch. Like some HOF career players in comparison don't have the excitement of what his has.

[u/desirox → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Don’t disagree, how high he goes for GOAT status hinges almost entirely on health

[u/kosmonautinVT → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

He's great but most talented ever? I don't think so. He's got a huge advantage from his physical attributes, which he certainly knows how to use but he should be dominating even more than he has been given that if he was the most talented ever. There's still some inconsistency at times.

He's not head and shoulders above Hakeem, Duncan or Shaq as far as comps go. He's also only going into his 4th year, so we'll see...

[u/butter-scotchboy → u/kosmonautinVT]

Yeah his basketball IQ is maybe lacking at points, especially when he’s gassed. Other than that I can’t think of a weakness.

[u/TheLaughingStorm300 → u/kosmonautinVT]

After this many years in the league, it’s hard to argue against Bron not being the most talented, complete player of all time.

[u/TheNorseHorseForce → u/TheLaughingStorm300]

I mean, Jordan was an all-star on offense and defense nearly every single year of his career.

[u/Hummuuussss → u/kosmonautinVT]

I agree so far at least offensively. His offense is pretty stale and like you said mostly from his physical attributes. However his defense is all time already.

[u/DolphinRodeo → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Yeah people here forget how good he is because the team with the biggest bandwagon fanbase decided he was their enemy and circlejerked themselves into thinking he’s bad. Reality says otherwise

[u/bruhstevenson → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Talent wise sure, but he still has many stretches where we can see his offense isn’t entirely there yet. It’ll come we assume, but I gotta see it first before we start saying he’s the GOAT lol

[u/Sushmoyscott → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Is he better than 2025 Myles turner ?

[u/TogoShiba → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

I'd call him the most unique player ever, but not the most talented. He's great because he has a combination of size, mobility, & skill that we've never seen before.

[u/inefekt → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

LOL never change Reddit.....never change
Ya'll are like Homer Simpson "Woah! A blue car!"

[u/Leno-Sapien → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

Im not ready to go there, but this is the quickest Ive been ready to put someone in the HoF.

He also oddly makes a lot of the Wilt stuff seem more believable.

[u/stragen595 → u/Leno-Sapien]

Was also my thought. It's like we can watch a Wilt like player in our time.

[u/jonsnowKITN → u/Ok_Matter_2617]

It's the time of year where people have their exaggerated takes
