I think this is also society learning from the previous generations' mistakes and his parents and coaches knowing what situation they're dealing with. I mean, this of course speaks volumes of how aware and mature his parents were raising him but I don't think it would be the same 20 years ago. And I just thought of LeBron and how he was thurst into stardom at such young age in an era where people were still realtively unaware of the perils of a celebrity lifestyle, where conditioning was not as advanced as it is now and how he handled and still handles himself - his life and career - and I have nothing but immense respect for the man. I hope Victor ends up having a great and successful career. So far, he scored a bingo on draft lottery night which sets him up pretty great for multi-faceted player development.

I feel like I just watched history. Like, this interview is his arrival. Wow.

[@ripito-eo6rh]

And rookie season was hisory as well

[@highperformancehoops]

One of the best interviews you done. you deserve all of the respect JJ truly understanding players, motivations, winning, what it means to truly win a championship. Truly breaking the mold of what it means to interview an athlete at the highest level of their sport.

[@zkik]

Wow this kids mind is even more impressive than his length and talent. Cant wait to see him play. Legend in the making!

[@irietropicals4255]

He’s in touch with his soul. Gotta love it 💎

[@fanaticislanders]

Victor sounds like he's ready to get on the court right now tbh, gotta love it! Have to respect Redick for dropping some valuable knowledge and asking all the questions needed to challenge the kid. He seems unflappable, the new NBA season needed to start yesterday!

[@StevenLeeStudios]

This kid gets it! He is going to be a monster out there and with that attitude and mindset, I believe every word he says.

[@MahaneyMedia]

Man I can’t even imagine the level of pressure thats weighing down on him being so hyped up and the eventual/speculated 1st overall pick. I truly hope he comes into the league and rises to the level of everybody expectations and then some.

[@Brandon-qg1ro]

I pray that wemby stays injury free and get to inspire people through his hard work and love for the game

[@danmorse2002]

Duuudddeee. Can’t wait for this full episode. The kid is just amazing. Regardless of how good he will be, he is just different. As basketball fans we NEED him to hold up and not get injured. We need this star in the game we love. Damn it this is going to be amazing to watch.

[@pierre-nicolassaumur4614]

This guy is a artist and basketball is his way of expression.

[@christianmuller292]

Interesting part of the interview though have heard him interviewed in France. He puts on a hell of a lot of work and has been through a lot, just in the last year going from ASVEL to Mets92 a team that isn't going to survive because of money problems and won't be in the french league next season. Everything has been prepared around Wenbenyama for the NBA and he knows it with an enormous amount of pressure on him to perform. After years of preperation I think he knows he's arrived at a new milestone with new pressure beginning to start as all eyes will be on him when the NBA season gets under way. That's going to be another challenge, the biggest he's faced. Nothing but greatness will be asked of him and from game 1.

[@MartinZoetrope]

It's a good time to be a Spurs fan....its a good time to love the game!

[@lorenzo6777]

This guy is actually beyond the capabilities of a created player in 2K. JUST UNREAL ‼️

[@brendanhunter389]

Wemby was basically calling out players like Ben Simmons with the mentality. And that’s why I can’t wait for him to play in the nba. He knows you gotta put your all in mentally and physically

[@jerm_]

If Ben had 1/100th the mindset of Wemby he'd have a ring by now

[@brendanhunter389]

@@jerm_ he’d be at least top 5pg in the league for sure

[@jhove5461]

Y’all don’t understand the potential this kid has as a human. Bigger than basketball. Literally.

[@dereka1936]

His “totem” is his authentic desire to succeed. Basketball is his way of expressing that. He’s also suggesting that, while many young players do have the skills and talent necessary to perform well, they’re missing the genuine desire to succeed, and they fall short. Respect.

[@anthonyphidel7690]

THIS. This is amazing thank you JJ for taking the time & effort in such a great interview with Wemby. Much appreciated!

[@snaggs107]

"Establish myself in the universe"...goals... i just became a fan.

[@joeknapp9162]

Its gotta be tough when even the people involved in your profession are awe struck by your abilities. I’m glad dude is going to the Spurs, seems like a really sweet and humble guy and they will be a grounding force for him. Hope he can build a solid relationship with Pop and Tim and that they stay in his ear throughout a long and fruitful career 🤞🏻🙏🏻💯

[@rofnayn]

Wise beyond his years, his talent is obvious but his mentality will be the reason no one can ever rob him of his gifts on and off the court. This is going to be a really special season I got a feeling.

[@myao96]

if he ends up succeeding in the league or not i think he's already achieved things that others havent. and that makes him special. truly one of one

[@thetruthishere8733]

Cant wait to see this young man play. Thank you JJ always great content!

[@aarontaylor9874]

Man ima speak health and longevity over this kids career, this is going to be special

[@jackrosado746]

Hope this kid turns out man! Not just for the culture but because he seems like a great guy

[@GerardoTostado]

Finally someone answer these one answer question with honest insight. This kid is awesome and I wish him the best

[@ry3788]

When jj said, "I wish I was free," and Wemby said, " You are." That was deep😮. Please don't let the haters inter Wembys life..😊
