Bro…. he might be the One
Tre Jones dude….
Took away his 40 burger for no reason
He’s starting to believe…
Victor HIMbanyama just beat Bill Russell’s career high.
Russell career high is 37 points.
If Wemby and prime Michael Jordan battle 1v1, Wemby wins.
The NBA really gave the most stable franchise a giant Kevin Durant.
Nobody that size should be able to pull up from three like that.

League fucked
not long before MJ and LeBron becomes 2A and 2B
He’s in good company. I’d say.
I am here to witness greatness
First rookie with 38/10 since…Kenneth Lofton Jr https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-rookies-with-at-least-38-points-and-10-rebounds-in-a-game
Before it was Blake Griffin and Amare before that.
i know it’s not sportsmanlike but he had 14 seconds to grab that layup to even it to 40
I believe we won’t have to wait long for him to go for 40-50
When can I vote for all star game starter? My ballot is him 10 times.
He’s like KD scaled up by 1.3x. If one’s a borderline top 10 player of all time, imagine what a taller version can do
Lmao kevin durant looked like a point guard next to him
But Shaq told me that bol bol could do this…
I am BEGGING you Pop, let Jones start with Wemby instead of Sochan
Basketball has been solved, time to play a new sport everyone.
A lot of y’all should have tanked last year. Imagine tanking for next year’s pick💀
He is the System.
Tre Jones should be their starting point guard. Their offense is a thousand times better with him on the court with Wemby. Dude can actually pass.
He is getting less blocks per game because players simply are not going to challenge him anymore lol
I will say, amazing stat, but they do get super specific with this sort of stuff. Is Golliver talking 38+/10+/2+, or exact? I imagine it’s +, but you never know. On top of that, how many players does it get expanded out to if you tweak any of the numbers by a single digit?
Yea, im honestly not sure this guy isn’t already the best player in the league.
I’m obviously joking, but… he’s starting so strong 5 games in, and getting better every game. I do legit think he’ll be a top 10 player by the start of next season.
Espn stat
Bro found inner peace 😮💨
WITNESS
He could have more blocks but teams recognize his presence im the paint. He has that Gobert effect already
Idc what anybody says this 19 year old boy is a top 20 player rn
Teams are spooked. Victor Boogeymanyama.
Wait..Bol Bol must be on that list too since he and VW are the same!
Wemby coming in with lebron and kd on their last legs, bedard coming in as Sid and ovi are checking out, all the brand new QBs coming in lighting up the league now that Brady and Rodgers are seemingly done. It’s a changing of the guard and we’re witnessing it
He is just a more consistent Bol Bol, I don’t know what all the fuzz is about…
Wemby heard what Shaq said and took it personally.
I’m not a fan of either team but I’m considering going to see him play against Jokic.
Thats gonna be an amazing match up. It’s gonna feel like a heavyweight fight lol
One small thing I like so far is his ability to finish at the rim when things get awkward. Weird angles on offensive boards. Misplaced but tolerable entry passes. Those torso-twisting, backwards layup, crazy bullshit that looks difficult but somehow works. That is a trait that not many players, 7’4″ or otherwise, tend to have. Wemby seems to be a really, really smart dude. Watch his interview postgame with the TNT crew the other night and think about how he’s doing that in a 2nd language. He’s chopping it up with them and not missing a beat. So far he comes across as a guy who has a far more mature thought process than his age would suggest, and a game to match in that he does the little things. Declines an open jumper to make the pass to a weakside cutter with leverage. Stays with his shot for the board when it didn’t come off his hand right. Etc etc. The defensive instincts will still take some time. But overall these first few games look about how I would expect based on the super high expectations we’ve all had.
Wemby getting to the Spurs means he’s gonna be an all time great big man. That org knows how to develop and boy howdy he is just a fucking unit out there. Neigh unstoppable.
