Wemby is too dope
You guys also tried to destroy Luka. He should be in the mvp conversation. Impressive offensive stats, and top 10 in steals. KLlutch sports owns the media and put out a false narrative, shame on you guys for falling for it!
The NBA is suffering from the same problem the NFL media has, and that's the ridiculous belief that only offensive players are "most valuable."
The NBA MVP vote shouldn't be close. Wemby should win all 100 first-place votes because SGA don't play both sides of the ball.
Get that free-throw merchant outta Wemby talks😂
They beat okc 4 times but castles was the guy ,jokic impact on offense is greater than wemby on defense better beat okc in the playoffs he is not the mvp without him spurs are fantastic like okc without shai
I can't see how shai is the MVP again… Hes having a great year on a great team
Wemby and Luka look like my MVP's … Honestly this battle has heatedddd up.
He's spitting facts. If somehow OKC ties with spurs at the end of the season why wouldn't wemby be mvp?
Yall gonna say he’s crying for MVP like yall did Embiid
I’m glad the lebronze era of basketball, the participation trophies, running from team to team to form big 3’s is over.
Without Shai, I could see OKC being a 5th seed. Without Wemby, the Spurs dont make the playoffs. Wemby is the MVP
It's political. The media won't give the same player MVP and DPOY on a team that may also win COTY and 6MOY. They have to spread the love. But really? Victor is the MVP and the DPOY this season.
If the NBA was actually unbiased this is a Luka and Wemby talk only SGA is the worst MVP there is no way they should gift him another one he doesn’t have the stats the other 2 have.
No more banana boat friendship, a least some rivalry
Hes whining to win the mvp just like Joel, go win a chip then cey for an mvp
But SGA plays defense too
Why is he out here “campaigning”
Looks weak af
“Look at what Spurs is without me and look at what OKC is without Shai” he could have said that too, but he didn’t, that’s also mature of him. OKC still a contender without Shai. Wemby is like “I know the narratives win MVP, I’m gonna start the narrative myself”. Crazy
Shump pushing Joker vs Wemby forcefully
Hes coming up but shai butter is that dude mid range assassin 🤴
wembabyama won nothing
shump losing my respect
Glad 2 see shump regularly 🔥
The Spurs went from the 13th seed to the 2nd seed in a year. He right
Suing espn. This man just put his nuts on the table and it wasn’t censored
SAS delusional about JB, Castle would have driven him to a 2nd tech later on the way he was swarming him.
Wemby is sorta the reaction we would expect from 90s ball superstars. Its why everyone os ecstatic someone had audacity enough to finally say something
I Hope they give It to SGA. Imagine Wemby facing OKC in West Finals just knowing he got robbed in favor of Shai 😂
