No. You guys just don’t understand their logic. A blocked shot that is recovered is counted as a rebound. Think about it. It is a shot that missed, but rather than gathering it off the rim, you’re gathering it off a block. So it’s still a shot attempt that was missed and is collected by a player which counts as a rebound. You can’t have a steal and a block at the same time. Either the player was attempting a shot, or attempting a pass. A steal is a deflection of a pass attempt. And block is a deflection of a shot attempt. What follows after a missed shot attempt in the game is called a rebound. So a block recovered by a player, counts as a rebound. It cannot count as a steal as it was a shot attempt that missed and then recovered.

@AClaiderman

Ай бұрын

@@Trevdawg48There is a very logical reason. When I throw a ball up. I’m either doing it to pass or to shoot. When you intercept a pass it’s a steal. When you intercept a shot, it’s a block. So how can both happen at the same time? You either shoot, or you pass. And when one gets deflected, we have a separated category for either. So how can both happen at the same time? I mean we even call shooting fouls a continuation because it was a continuation of you attempting to shoot. When you get fouled throwing the ball to a teammate. Do they give you a shooting foul? No. It’s a side out of bounds. Because a pass is different than a shot.

Great video man, keep it up! Just wanted to add a little about Wemby's health concerns. He really cares and wants to be great, so for a while now, he has been really taking care of his health and more specifically his flexibility. He has been taking a lot of measures to keep his body injury free. There are a lot of videos of him doing the splits and doing stretching warm ups before games. He's also bulking up carefully as to not put too much weight on his body too quickly.

He is so much fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

And now add his Mindset, he’s coachable, competitive, and has a crazy work ethic. Perfectly prepared from his Mother and Father. His mother played professional basketball herself and after her active career she started coaching. His father was also a professional Athlete, showed up for his national team. I’m not sure, but I think he was a runner or something familiar. If Wemby stays healthy, we might see the first one to really challenge MJ.

I keep saying he's the best rookie since David Robinson. This graph backed me up too. Robinson's rookie year he took the spurs from 20 wins to 56 wins. Think about that!

Duncan did great for sure. He had Robinson in his rookie year to guide him which helped his progress but may have hindered his stats. Robinson dominated alone and led the team from his rookie year, then happily took a step back for Duncan. The 3 Spurs bigmen have all had legendary rookie years, but Robinson has better rookie stats than anyone has in over 50 years. And his comeback from injury is the biggest reason Spurs equaled Robinson's 36 game turnaround, which was the record. So really, Robinson broke the single season win/loss turnaround twice. He also has better win shares and +/- than anyone. He doesn't get the credit but he's top 10 ever! Only 30 point Quadruple Double ever. 71 point game. ONLY player to have led the league in Points, Rebounds, Blocks, and won MVP, ROTY and DPOY. Spurs were a joke, now they've won more games than any team in the NBA since David's rookie season. He single handedly kick started a dynasty.

That was a really good video. I didnt realize that about his minutes. I do with you would have gone into more details with comparisons with the other players in the top 5 though. I think Wembe is the best

His stats on a minutes restriction are absurd! And as you mentioned, Pop lifted those restrictions for the last few games of the season and as expected Wemby's numbers all went up! His final 20 games of the season he averaged 32 minutes which is just 3 more minutes more than his season avg, but his total averages in that span were 24 ppg, 12 reb, 5 ast, 4 blks, and 1 steal. It gets even SCARIER though, his last 7 games the coaching staff really let Wemby loose and let him play on average 35 minutes a game, his averages in those games? 28 ppg, 13 reb, 6 ast, 4 blks, 1 stl

Yeah, it's really comical to watch the Wemby effect, especially when he's within striking distance of the restricted area on defense. I have seen some of the best players in the league trying to score, usually two on one and sometimes even three on one and many many times they won't even try to challenge Victor. They will dribble into the paint and when they see Big Vic they immediately pass it to their teammate and as soon as he starts dribbling he either throws it to a 3rd teammate farther from the basket or dribbles the ball under the basket and back out again. It is really funny! They look like the cops on the comedy capers trying ineptly to score!

That strict 30 min comment is just not true at all. True he averages less than 30 min, but if you watched the games you would see that he does keep playing when there is a chance of winning or OT. Some game he gets way less though for varying reasons though. He was more likely to not see thirty minutes cause we were getting blown out often earlier in the year. When he got yanked that was when he was on a stricter one earlier in the year cause of his ankle, but that is no longer the case.

I saw someone comment on another video about DPOY that the reason Gobert doesn't have as many blocks as Wemby is because guys don't even try to shoot near him (Gobert) because he is so good at defense and they don't want to challenge him. They then said that this is not the same for Wemby. I just pointed them to this clip of the Grizzlies' fast break: 3:19

wow this was a sick video

22nd best. Love it.

It is UNTHINKABLE that in his first season(rookie year), we are all using a 'GOAT' language to discribe VW.

Great video! Shaq, the greatest big-man specimen ever, seems to hate on Wembi because Shaq wasted his talent with the Lakers preferring to slack off rather than stay elite physically. Therefore he downplays Wembi saying Bolbol has already done what we're seeing from Wembi.

100% the best rookie since Tim Duncan. Beyond that, I don't think he's touching Wilt Chamberlain or Walt Bellamy, but you could put him in the conversation as a top five rookie ever given what he's done and in limited minutes. But the hype is real, his impact on both ends is incredible, and he's one of the most unique superstars we've ever seen. I think he'll break the record for most DPOY awards and likely win a couple MVP's. The Spurs need to add some 3-D wings and a pass-first PG to help him maximize his game.

I already got him top 18 all time

Its clearly robbery if WEMBY doesnt win DPOY!!!!

Rudy deserves it. He does e everything you mentioned in the video and his team is the #1 seed.
