Victor Wembanyama is the End.

Спорт

The more of Victor Wembanyama that I watch, the more it feels like the NBA is on a collision course with his inevitability. Despite the San Antonio Spurs being far from what anyone would consider a good team, Victor Wembanyama is constantly finding new ways to remind us why every other team in the league should be trying to win while they can, because once Wemby gets a solid supporting cast around him, it's his league.
Wemby has been able to thrive throughout a minutes restrictions, the Spurs experimenting with Jeremy Sochan as their point guard, Tre Jones coming off the bench, Keldon Johnson being... Keldon Johnson. It doesn't matter what's been thrown at Victor Wembanyama, because he's proven that he's gonna rise to the occasion regardless.
And for fans of anyone other than the San Antonio Spurs, that should scare you. A lot.

    Aye off thx for including the definitions of the plays, thats really helpful for my understanding as someone who has never played basketball at a competitive level. Also, I think it really depends on the playoff success. If he retires with a ring, 3 mvps, and like dpoys, he would probably be top 20 all time. If he retires with 5 rings, 3 mvps, and 6 dpoys he would be more like top 7-1 all time. Obviously those are hypothetical accolades but winning championships matters more than anything, even MVP's.

    Funny thing he had a tendency of doing that when he was in France. Even during the showcase vs GLeague ignite, he would spike the ball out of bounds. I’m pretty sure it was Boris Diaw and his coach Collet who harped at him to control his blocks. The kid is wired differently mentally. He picks up on the flaw that a coach coaches him up on and makes the adjustment in a matter of time. Now he glides his blocks either to himself or to a teammate.

    The great stature and performance of Wembanyama really puts into perspective what a phenomenon Wilt Chamberlain really is. Just imagine. Wemby is 3 inches taller, but Wilt had a vertical of + 15 inches compared to Wembanyama's, putting him a whole foot higher in the air (!) ... AND HE weighed in at +65 POUNDS ..! WTF!

    The thing I just love about Wembanyama on defense is he can make opponents think they’ve beaten him, only for Wembanyama to surprise them from far behind with that ridiculous wingspan. That also adds to rim deterrence since he can cause opponents to second guess themselves and wonder if they’ve really beaten him for a run attempt, or whether they should pass it out since he’s within striking distance.

    2:45 This is actually insane. It kinda reminds me of Deion Sanders here. Deion would sometimes leave so much space between him and the receivers to make it look like they are open, but he knew he was fast enough to cover that ground and make the interference when the quarterback see’s the receiver “open”. Now with Wembys length, reach and athleticism, he can kind of do the same thing and guard the paint here or if the ball did swing out, go make a play on the outside shooter.

The NBA players never had a 7’5“ player move and play like this guy. This guy plays like he’s a 6‘8“ for agility What is a 7’5” player that can jump and shoot and dribble and has the moves and can run. This is a dream come true for a coach.

    I think a very important thing about Wemby is not just how good he already is, but how quickly he is improving. He has only played about 40 games this season, but he has already adjusted to the league in a big way and has been playing much better in the later parts of the season. It's similar to how Doncic was where he was already all-star level as a rookie, but the more impressive thing was how by his second year he was a top 10 player in the league, and I can see that same adjustability with Wemby.

    I sincerely hope that Wemby has a great and long career. There are very few players who are that tall and even fewer who have long and fruitful careers. Luckily, he has the skills to make it happen. I also see way too many posts that make it sound like his performance is purely height. There are quite a few players who were just as tall or taller and did not perform nearly as well. Tacko Fall is best recent example. He is a good inch or two taller, but he didnt have the skill. Being that tall does come with issues so we can only hope that Wemby keeps healthy.

    If you watch closely, he will often keep his head and hand down till the last second, to bait a player in front of him to take a shot. Then, when the guy is in the motion of shooting and there’s no going back, up comes his hand and he watches it closely to not foul and carefully block the shot, keeping the ball in play and not heading out of bounds. Crazy.

    With his commitment to staying flexible and gaining strength Wemby is likely to have a GREATEST OF ALL TIME career.

He can keep several inches away yet still block shots, for example.
