Shaq Said What Everyone’s Thinking About Wemby

Victor Webmanyama scored 38 points in a mini-sweep of the Suns. It was amazing to see a rookie beat both Kevin Durant and Devin Booker but Shaq made a wild comparison. This is a look at the difference between Bol Bol and Wemby but why Shaq might have been right.

[@papachung6639]

I think the biggest difference is basketball IQ and overall maturity/intelligence. Wemby is so poised in every interview I’ve seen, especially for a 19 y/o.

I wouldn’t say harder but different style, emphasizes team play a lot more I feel. Overall skill is much stronger in the NBA, just look at players who are ass in the league who put up numbers in big leagues like China and Europe

Bol Bol might be the closest you can get to Wemby in terms of comparisons, but Wemby is in a whole different league. I think we can agree on that.

The closest comparison point is their height, that’s it

[@doronrosstuvia3489]

I don’t really agree with this in that “if you look at the tape they have the same game.” Maybe to someone that doesn’t know basketball and they’re seeing the same sized player shooting and dunking. There is such a huge difference in the way they play, you even brought up multiple ways they’re different. Wemby has insane coordination for someone his size allowing him to handle the ball like a guard, even if Bol can handle a little, the lack of coordination he has makes it a skill he can’t use in-game. Bol is also no where near as fluid or explosive with or without the ball. His ability to defend in the paint, even while taking hits is also very much unlike Bol. Even his ability to catch the ball and catch lobs. Not to mention his vision off-ball and the ability to read the offense or defense. I see more comparisons to a young Shaq than to Bol. That flip shot he had reaching around the basket is textbook Shaq. Instead of the strength and width, he has length and size. I think in his prime there won’t be anyone able to stop him next to the basket. He’s going to be a problem.

[@philippculture489]

You will see a lot of these videos on this channel. He hates european players (or non-american). Scoot said that he is the best, it's confidence. Wemby said it, it's arrogance. The last video was ridiculous, too. He said Wemby can't be an all-star because players with similar hype didn't make it, like Lamelo Ball. Wemby will be most likely make the all-star team this year. To compare his hype to Lamelos is just dumb. Spurs games are watched right now as if it were the NBA finals. This kid is breaking records in views. Watch out for A.M. to talk about non-americans and you will realize it..

[@BobbyJackson-wi7kc]

I think it’s funny that people compare Wemby to bol bol as Wemby just had as much points in one game as bol bol has in the preseason and regular season COMBINED

[@ericjohnbautista8275]

One thing separates Wemby from other rising stars like Ja and Zion is his maturity. I’ve watched him in interviews and he is poised answering the questions. Good thing also is he is coached by Pop.

[@Islam.is.the.truth..]

He was playing with men before this in a professional basketball league that’s why. He came into this league humble like most European players.

That's what European players gets you, mature players. Not ghetto clowns like the U.S.

Bol Bol is missing a key quality that Wemby has....IQ and feel for the game !

[@jeremyellismusic]

One thing I think we can agree on: the NBA rigged it for the Spurs. No way they were sending Wembanyama to even the Pistons with Monty Williams. They wanted him with Pop and that organization. Sucks for the other lottery teams, but probably the smart move for the league.

Harold Minor, selected over Shaq as SI's college player of the year in his junior year, and nicknamed Baby Jordan by that same magazine...pretty ironic to bring him up here. It's a good comparison though, just like Bol Bol and Wemby, if Minor had the defense, injury resistance, and offensive consistency that Jordan had, he'd have lived up to his nickname. If Bol Bol had those three things, he'd be a lot closer to the player Wemby is. Shaq was right.

[@mt_baldwin]

Yeah Shaq is right in *what he actually said* and not the argument people keep saying Shaq said. He didn't say Bol was a better player than Wembanyama, he just said Wemby wasn't the first time we'd seen someone that tall with those skills.

[@tdup191]

Technically Bol Bol isnt either when you consider Ralph Sampson so Shaq was wrong no matter how you flip it

[@issey1456]

He didn't say "Wembanyama" either, because he apparently can't pronounce his name right.

[@O0dZ-x5e]

Bol Bol doesn’t have these skills lmao, show me them please, show me him double blocking on the same play, show me Bol Bol jumping from outside the key dunking the ball, etc etc NO ONE HAS DONE THIS AT THIS SIZE PERIOD. You can pretend they did I guess the 7ft tall skinny kid I went to highschool with who could shot a 3 and dribble is on wembys level too then right and I can compare them bc I seen a tall guy play basketball before so it’s the same? If this how we gonna go then I guess lebron better drop out of the top 2 and we can stop hearing about how old he is bc a bunch of 38 year olds have done what lebrons doing in the nba before. Even as a lebron hater I understand how STUPID that comparison is, but if this is the standard then that’s the standard and lebron ain’t doin nothin special then bc wev seen it before

[@maxmeier532]

It's just nonsense on so many levels. We have seen Abdul Jabar 40 years ago. We have seen Wilt Chamberlain. In the NBA anyone can have a highlight reel. You can make Ben Simmons look like a HOFer. And where is the cut off? 7'2? Embiid has handles and can shoot, so can KD. So can Jokic. To a degree KP, the unicorn. But non of them is THAT tall, has THAT reach and has had THAT impact so early and so young.

[@hansbraun2726]

It was before Shaq's time but I really think the comparison here should be Ralph Sampson who was actually slightly bigger than Wembanyama and able to put the ball on the floor in a similar manner while playing good defense. Wembanyama, of course, shoots better and more frequently from the outside but that's more of the evolution of the game than anything else.

[@egglordsasuke8532]

Bol bol can do the occasional behind the back dribble, hit wide open three point shots at a low percentage clip and dunk. Wemby can do everything better, including defense and playmaking while doing it more consistently and having a way deeper bag...

[@maxmeier532]

We have seen Shaq before Shaq. Patrick Ewing.

[@Convisis]

Shaq wasn’t saying Bol Bol is AS GOOD as Wemby, just that he had the guard skill set as a 7+ footer in the NBA before Wemby did. Shaq is so combative that he often doesn’t qualify himself clearly because he goes on a defensive attack so quickly.

[@shorewall]

It's also a lot of bark for a little bite. I mean, Shaq has a point, but he was always gonna get more heat than making the point was worth. He could have said it better by comparing Bol Bol's hype to Wemby's hype, and telling to tamp down on the expectations.

[@maxmeier532]

He might have well said, we have seen KD. Would have made more sense. Bol Bol is a mere 4 inches taller than KD. Wemby is 2 inches taller than Bol Bol and has 5 inches more standing reach. It's completely arbitrary where you make the cut, so imo it's a nonsense discussion to begin with. You could bring KP, Embiid and Jokic into the same discussion and say, we have seen Wemby before. But it wouldnt be true in the speicific aspect that everyone else sees it. The complete picture of Wemby is unprecedented.

[@naelbi8870]

👍🏾 Good job If you were in France last season, you'd know Wembanyama was surrounded by an already CRAZY hype throughout the country, TV, kids, crowds of fans, NBA scouts all the time, all arenas sold out when his team was in town, really "Beatles on tour" like! And he's from Paris with all the temptations of big cities and stayed focused on his goal With teammate Coulibaly, he only lost in the finals against Mike James' Monaco, 3rd best team in the Euroleague after beating another 🇨🇵 Euroleague team in semis. He did amazing against Euroleague level players here so we are all confident he'll do even better in a quiet (boring!) town like San Antonio in which players only think about practice and play
