Wemby had a great rookie season. Definently all star next season. But let’s not forget wilt winning mvp and averaging 30 and 27 as a rookie

[@DynastyIcon]

all star next season, best player in the world and face of the league in two seasons

[@SaySpawn]

STFU. LETS NOT FORGET WILT PLAYED IN A LEAGUE OF 8 TEAMS WITH ONLY 1 SEVEN FOOTER. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE NEVER BRING UP WILT in goat debates or best rookie ever debates. Nobody care what WILT averaged against those bums. Wilt shot 45% from the field his rookie year with plumbers guarding him. If Wemby played in 1960 he's averaging 70ppg, plus WILT couldn't even shoot free throws. Gtfoh

[@MrKylljoy]

the 60's is a totally different era, let's be real

[@olivierbrunelle672]

Bro that was 60 years ago.. things change lol

[@RockoutTime]

Bring this guy Dan back 😂😂

[@TBCLINQ]

If he keeps improving , we might be seeing a miracle season to have him healthy.

[@SaySpawn]

STFU. A miracle. Wemby played 71 out of 82 games. Zion hurt every year, Ja morant gets hurt every year. Embiid gets hurt every year. Giannas has been hurt last 2 playoffs. Kyrie is injury prone. Luka is not in great physical shape, that's why he got mad when a fan called him fat. Chet Holmgren missed his entire rookie season and you talking about it would be a miracle for Wemby. Dumb comment alert.

If Wemby hopefully has a healthy career he can surpass Hakeem’s for all time blocks.

[@mohammadishaktayoob1143]

He should simply be called G.O.A.T He is going to hit 2500+ points 200+ blocks 1000+ rebounds 200+ 3 pointers next season (If healthy)

[@NelsonPimenta93]

I still think Magic Johnson had the best rookie year in NBA history.

[@SaySpawn]

Magic averaged 18ppg 7rebs 7assists Wemby averaged 21ppg 11rebs 4assists 4blks (led the league in blocks, on a minutes restriction. Offense and Defense Magic was just an offensive player game 7 isn't possible without Wilkes 37 and 10 in game 6 Kareem 26ppg 13rebs Mvp season Nixon avg 20pp. Season Wemby was a way better rookie than Magic. Magic had the better team.

[@mmldtop6005]

Not even the best rookie in 5 years. And shouldnt win this year despite chet being not really a rookie. Spurs had more win past year without him, thats all you scrubs need to know, he helped them nothing in winning games

I've been watching the NBA my entire life, and I have NEVER gasped like I did when I was Wemby CATCH AN OPPONENT'S SHOT OUT OF MIDAIR. I can't even say that was some video game stuff because you can't even do that in 2K.

[@Mustapha1963]

No. The BEST rookie in NBA history put up 37.6 ppg, 27.0 rpg, 2.3 apg on 46.1% shooting playing 46.4 minutes per game. Blocks were not kept, but anecdotal reporting estimates around 8 blocks per game. This stats belong to one Wilton Norman Chamberlain in his 1959-60 rookie season.

[@vicentewall]

Wemby would double those stats in that era wemby is definitely the best maybe not the greatest rookie season but for sure the best

[@frieza5993]

​@@vicentewall yeah he'll be pulling up from 30 ft to hit a deep two pointer

[@thomash8501]

Wemby is great but no, not the best rookie in NBA history by a long shot. Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Oscar Robinson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson, just to name a few, were more impressive rookies.

[@The_Batman_Who_Laughs890]

Nah Lebron as a rookie was something else such as Wembenyama but in a other way, just better.

Don’t even start with this title the best rookie is magic man won nba championship his first year and should have won rookie of the year as well and MJ i would say is close second don’t give me wrong wemby is cold as hell

[@garebaregoof4226]

Don’t even have to watch the video to tell you it’s not wemby. Kareem and magic both have better rookie seasons and that’s without more than 5 seconds of thinking of better rookie seasons.

[@nvm9040]

Well Wemby is another great spurs rookie and he has the stats and history making games to back it up But right now Wemby is probably the greatest rookie in the league but when he retires,are people still going the say that

[@Akhi_Iyad]

he woulda won Defensive player of the year he had 1.2 more averaged blocks then gobert and more steals this season 2nd in dpoy

[@ferniesperspective]

You guys prove Kyrie right every time you talk about him and flat earth in the same sentence. I can tell who you vote for off that alone.

why’d he mention kyrie as a flat earther and not as the best ball handler in history? please just stick to basketball dan 😂

kinda boring cuz thats just the standard with the way his physicality is built haha

[@SaySpawn]

If rookie Wemby was the first player in NBA history to average 21ppg 11rebs 4assists 4blks in under 30 minutes per game then imagine a prime Wemby. Rookie Wemby is already amazing. 💯
