Inside the NBA Reacts to Giannis & Victor Wembanyama's First Matchup

[@ZackJonesGT]

that Wemby block on Giannis late in the 4th qtr was nasty. I dont wanna hear "Wemby cant play in the paint" anymore..

[@RICARD01]

More times that not, he can't play in there. Dude is a fcking pencil.

[@irmasil3]

A great block but Giannis going there with his left hand....Wemby got posterised 3-4 times from Giannis in the game...I think it might have been his max posters in season. As a Bucks fan I was like "hmmm....Brook, Bobby, Kris, Cam trade and we get Wemby to play with Giannis and Dame..." :) I don't care who's on the bench :) And then Malik and Marjon and anyone else traded (apart from Ajax) and we get Smart.... :) lol...

[@gallici-anima-christiana]

It was all about him understanding the timing, he figured it out by the end of the game. There's a lot of things he still needs to play through and him being on a minute restriction is really stopping him from a faster progression. Once he's on full minutes he'll be a totally different player by the end of the season. Like you won't see him make so many of the mistakes he still has in his system.

[@Dtron3030]

He can't tho. He's great on help side, but gets bullied down low alot.

[@christopherlawson2606]

Giannis is the best player in the world. But props to wemby, he blocked his idol, went neck and neck with one of the greatest players ever and even blocked him and giannis and wemby blessed the nba world with one of the greatest regular season games ever.

[@wubbied4575]

Curry better

[@JaGra-tm2mw]

Embiid has been the best player this season

[@grimhunter2223]

Luka.

[@tharcisseofficial]

Every young all-star point guard in the league should be looking at Wemby like "I could win a chip with that guy". Guys like Trae Young that struggle on defence would be automatic contenders if they could get to the Spurs. People talk about Chet who's 2 years older than Wemby... you give Wemby Shai and he'd be getting 30 a night. Doncic, Shai, Ja, Haliburton, Trae, LaMelo... Wemby teams up with any of those guys down the line and it's game over.

[@agrey832]

I'm glad Kenny mentioned that and he's absolutely right! I noticed the sane thing, the Spurs need a *Playmaker!*

[@winged_detective]

Man I can see Wemby pushing his game to levels never seen before if he had a player like Rondo. The knowledge Rondo has and the ability to coach in real time during games on how Wemby can utilize space and positioning where he can eat and also pass him the ball would be a dream. Wemby would have easy buckets for sure and run the floor better imo. Wish Spurs do make a move to acquire a quality point veteran to develop him.

[@_KITE]

Chuck and Kenny are on to something with the pure PG idea - once Wemby gets someone who can pass, the entire League is going to have a problem on its hands

[@rongooden6545]

It’s scary that 4 of the top 5 players in the league are not even American. I can imagine how the league will look 15-20 years from now.

[@JaGra-tm2mw]

Embiid and Gianni's are basically "American" lol They learned how to play in America That makes embiid Gianni's and Tatum 3 of the top 5 players

[@Iboster1]

@@JaGra-tm2mw Top 5 is Doncic, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid and SGA now. I can give you Embiid since he played HS in the US, but the others are clearly international. Giannis was drafted to the NBA straight out of Europe. He is not american

[@JaGra-tm2mw]

@@Iboster1 dude Gianni's plays a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME then he did first coming into the NBA And only euro fanboys would EVER have doncic ahead of Tatum in any capacity whether it's who's better or who's ahead in MVP right now Tatum is BY FAR the best player on BY FAR the best team in the NBA Doncic is about to miss the playoffs for the second season in a row🤣 Sga is also way better than doncic as is Anthony edwards

[@JaGra-tm2mw]

Also embiid is American and barely even played basketball before coming to America

[@lebourse]

​@@JaGra-tm2mw Wow what a news. Giannis is a completly different player now he was when he was 18? It's called evolving, growing, he didn't learn basket-ball in the US, NBA didn't pick some random guy in a foreign country just because he was tall and said hey young fella, go learn basket-ball in NBA. He was already a player but a young prospect like any rookie.

[@Plucebro]

[@BIGxSAM]

For people saying, wemby needs to pick up weight to be better when Giannis tried to back him down, it shows you who that guy really is

[@irmasil3]

lol..Giannis posterised him 3 times...He NEEDS a bit more muscle. Remember this was a left had attempt from Giannis and didn't make much space.

[@nightingaleberkeleysquare]

Shaq speaks like people are gonna love him less if he makes a young center a compliment.

Spurs are going to waste this man’s talent. So many cases where he’s had a wide open lane and they like “naww not going to pass it to him.”

It’s like 30 games in to his first season, relax buddy. He’s landed in one of the best organizations he could have possibly landed. They have 6 1sts over the next 2 summers and loads of cap space.

[@thereef4ever]

Imagine Wemby playing with a R Rondo ( in chuck voice that’s not even fair ). If Spurs gets LaMelo or Klay Thompson or Russell (from Lakers) that would be nice to see that run in his second year Wemby with Klay and Westbrook could be something magnificent too. But i respect the Spurs in tanking so to get to the next championship runs from scratch :. Anyway : GoCeltics !
