Victor Wembanyama Will Change The NBA Forever!

If fantasy has taken over your perception of reality that much you might want to put down the controller

@edwells4769 I'm perceiving reality perfectly fine. All I'm saying is I should be a lot more impressed than I am. You internet therapists just be fuckin talking 💀

[@edwells4769]

@@saucetiny I know it was mostly a joke, but there are legit psychological problems brought on by people mistaking fiction for reality. It occurs in most women and all children, where they see something on a movie, tv, video game, or book and take it as reality subconsciously. It's why nearly all propaganda and advertising targets those groups. It leads to unrealistic perceptions and ultimately, unhappiness.

[@derrickstone4030]

As a lifetime Spurs fan, I’m excited. I hope he stays healthy. Chet too. If they stay healthy, it will give GM’s the green light to search for these kinda unicorns. I love it for the game because we’re potentially witnessing the beginning of a new era 🙌🏼

Hot take: Wembenyama will be the first player since David Robinson to record a quadruple double. I purposely didn't put a timeline on this but I strongly believe it will happen

[@loganmattoon5284]

In a couple years when he has a better roster around him I can definitely see this happening

[@TheOneAndOnlyJinglebi]

I mean you can argue that Duncan did. in 2003 (in the playoffs which is really amazing) he had it all but 2 blocks weren’t counted as his. But yeah wemby could definitely do that, he has 15 years of his absolute prime in front of him, the sky is the limit for this kid if he stays injury free, he could even get a quintuple double, his steals are phenomal as well

I really hope he can stay healthy, if he could stay in the NBA for like 10 years and play at the level we expect him he’s a no doubter for the hall of fame.

The entire NBA is pretty much a freak show, but Wemby makes other NBA players look like normal human beings. It’s insane.

[@kylepatrick2231]

It's crazy that Wembanyama's floor is probably a Yao Ming type of career. He has been taking extremely good care of his body for years already too...

You need to consider also that yao is asian and his culture especially there used of drinking tea which makes ur bone fragile if im not wrong

[@mamo1761]

It is insane for someone this tall to move like that. This has never been seen before. Ever.

[@bohanxu6125]

I agree with you... but I feel like he still looks kinda sluggish when he moves. His movement is more similar to bol bol than to KD or Brandon Ingram.

[@MightyPrinceTV]

@bohanxu6125 because his height is closer to Bol.

[@anthonytrevino3191]

It’s a finesse league. Look at how Jokic and Embiid play most of time. Everyone saying he can’t bang with nba bigs don’t see 1) he won’t be matched up positionally many 2) it’s not the year 2000 where he has to go toe to toe with physical forces like Shaq

[@TheScotian82]

Yep just had to look outside the USA

[@luiscesarvargas8421]

Nope he is a gigiantic shooting guard

[@LeanSosa]

He definitely gonna live up 2 tha hype

[@damana1000]

He might still get injured really bad. Tall guys are very prone to injuries

[@LeanSosa]

Ur right but victor is aware of that risk, remember he has a strength and conditioning trainer even before he even got drafted.

[@saibotshawdow5090]

It’s nice to see him be so good been following his career since he was 14 and thought he would be a top 20 pick when his time came but a project player. Never would of thought he would’ve became what he is today. I knew he had the potential but didn’t think he get to this level so early.

[@mango5509]

Crazy part is he got 20 and 23 playing half the game...

[@derrickstone4030]

I feel if he goes 16pts, 8reb with about 2.4 blocks per game then he’s on the right path.

[@totorico9518]

He will average much more i think we didn't already realise how scary he is he is already a TOP 10 defender 8 feet wingspan 7'4 who can run and has the mobility of a giannis with a light-Durant skills and shoot...

[@totorico9518]

I think that he will in his rookie season do a 22 PTS 9 REB 3 Ast et 3 Blocks

[@golden10ful]

That dunk on Thomas Bryant had him considering retirement

[@meh7348]

Honestly, if he does get injured I don't feel it will be from is frame not being able to handle playing as people are saying. I think it'll come from other players feeling the need to prove a point defending him super physically and end up causing an injury.

[@mediamannaman]

I agree with your enthusiasm because Wemby is definitely a unicorn, just like Wilt was. But Wilt was very different than Victor. Just to start, Wilt was more athletic (50" vertical vs Wemby's 32") and much more powerful. Victor is slight of build and plays much more of a finesse game. Honestly, I don't know who to compare Wemby to. He is really one-of-a-kind.

[@greg9069]

@@mediamannamanwilt probably had more of a 40” vertical, there’s video of wemby doing windmills with his head at the rim level.. there’s photos of wilt blocking shots with his hand close to the top of the back board.. but a 50” vertical on a 7” guy would put his entire head above the rim and a fully extended arm putting his hand an entire foot above the backboard…

[@tgr138]

Wrong, he’s a modern-day Kareem, The man used yoga before any other superstar and now we see wemby using it to reduce injury, both are high IQ, They read books and are not media driven like wilt with his egotistical feats. They both are laid-back and philosophical.

There is an oop where he caught and dunked it and I swear it looked like how MJ stretched his arms to dunk the ball in space jam. I pray this man stays healthy and keeps on improving kuz the shit he already doing is NUTS

[@kingbubba126]

I think Wemby can average about 18ppg which I think it’s within the realms of reality, but most of his impact will come from his defence. I could see him easily average 3-4 block a game and a steal or two other some insane defensive metrics. I genuinely believe he could win DPOY his rookie year for sure, especially under Pop who will PUSH him to be an incredible defender. People forget but Dejounte Murray made an All defensive second team under pop and in the Spurs system so imagine what Wemby will achieve

[@SabrinaRoseLewis]

I think 20 pts, 10 reb 2.5 assists... 2.5 blocks and 1.25 steals a game on 65% true shooting is his FLOOR

[@brettrossi034]

That is one tall, string beany man. He's got a ton of talent and can shoot for a big man. Hopefully he can keep healthy and happy in San Antonio coming here from France. I hope he also doesn't end up like other big men like Yao Ming who despite Yao being a tad bit beefier than Wemby, reminds me a lot like him height wise

[@freack3333]

Would be fun to come back to this video when the season is over. If his body can endure, sure. But now he looks like a mantis playing basketball, his body will fill out for sure, but we'll see how it goes.

Defensively is where he is gonna truly change the game if he ends up being an efficient 30 PPG guy those guys have existed. And 30 is 30 no matter how it looks but the things he is going to be capable of dping on defense will be jarring. Being on the spurs organization is also a massive blessing.

[@DaintyBroom2233]

If he's anywhere near Duncan level good he has a good shot at bieng top 10 all-time, and if you think about he's kinda got it all. Great attitude toward the game and is awesome in front of cameras and interviews, is a team player, a leader, and is well liked by his teammates. Notice how I didn't even mention one thing good about him on the court? usually guy's with that type of talent have one or the other, there either insane talents without a great work ethic or there the opposite. Very very rarely do we see someone dedicated to basketball and more talented than anyone else in the room. He's got the height, the shooting, the defence, the play-making, and though he isnt the best rebounder I mean look at him, all he has to do is spend an off season working on it and im sure he'd be awesome at it. Best coach of all time in Pop and one of the best front offices/organizations in basketball. It's almost not even a hot take to say he's gonna be a top 15 player of all time
