Love these kind of highlights. Jeremy's gonna be a "villain" when the spurs get the spotlight lol. Annoying the living shit out of the opponents

[–] Nant_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sochan is gonna be in the top 10 most hated players in the league when people realize what a pest he is in defence... and because he looks dumb with his hairdos

[–] Carl_Alone@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Anyone else see a lot of Ron Artest in his game? Even the upright nature in which he plays. Also the raw offensive ability and edge to his play.

[–] PoonGo0n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nowhere near as strong as Ron but he’s still young.

Ya looks very similar, minus the chaos

[–] diipp2k@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Perfect player to have next to Wemby

OKC-Spurs and Rockets-Spurs will be fun games to watch this year

[–] SubZero_dot785@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Ron Harper/Denis Rodman is a crazy hybrid for a PG.

[–] drjisftw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Was Ron Harper really a point guard or just a big wing defender that got "slotted" into the PG position (and it didn't matter that much due to the triangle?)

[–] KingOfWeTheNorth@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ron Harper Jr in shambles

[–] SLCamper@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There's a bit of Gary Payton (Sr.) too.

One of the best young defenders in the NBA right now. Can’t wait to see him matchup with stars everynight and get better

[–] 3ThrowMerchant@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Guarding Luka for the season opener

[–] rawsharks@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Spurs defense could be pretty interesting this year. Against the Rockets they put a ton pressure on the PG with Sochan harassing him in space while Vassell and Keldon were very aggressive in the gaps with their length. Collins is fairly mobile for a 7 footer and obviously Wemby covers so much space. The offense will be a little janky but they could be very scrappy.

Will be a fun squad to watch for years to come

[–] SamIAmReddit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Just 2 back to back games in the pre-season, and I can tell our guys hate the Spurs. Will be a good rivalry this year. Feels like Spurs have a little mental edge going into season after last 2 performances. But our team has a lot of defense/grit guys, so should be good chip on shoulder stuff.

[–] PoonGo0n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

It’s hard to hate the Rockets since there’s so many former Spurs on the bench. Like it was great to see Ime, Boban and Tiago last night. But I’m sure I’ll find a way lol

[–] Sky19234@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's fun to watch Boban push his way through the sea of people like a giant lovable hill giant after every game to go give Pop a hug.

[–] joshuamillertime@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I need to see Boban in Pop’s lap like that scene from elf

Im down for it - i really like thompson and whitmore. The Thompson twins seem so nice and polite off the court - but on the court they dogs and got spice too em. Amen is really really fun to warch. I really like the chip on the shoulder Whitmore plays wit too. These games are gon be heated and I’m all for it 🤝🤝🤝

[–] WiktorVembanyama@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

As a long time Spurs fan AND Rockets hater my favorite moment of the last year was Wemby doing a little fist pump when yall secured the 4th pick.

but yall got a lot of talent and a good coach and i dont like it

[–] Mikegetscalls@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I wish we had Sochan

That mf plays hard and don’t gaf lol

[–] ApexBarber@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

NGL that last Wemby dunk was scary. Dude didnt even look like he jumped.

[–] No_Longer_A_Menace@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fr he just hops on the Segway and glides in

[–] bigbadwooooo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don’t mess with the Sochan.

I’m referencing an Adam Sandler movie. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan.

Spurs looking nice

[–] Diamond1580@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This spurs team is going to be so much fun to watch this season

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's a heel and owns it. I love it. Defensively the Spurs with this starting five they're entering the season with could cause teams tons of havoc. They've been wanting to go big and have multiple ballhandlers on the floor at all times and that's what they're going to have to start the season. There will be teething issues offensively but you can understand the vision.

[–] Recent-Curve7616@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think him at pg will work. Seems like a weird experiment

can’t wait for casual NBA fans to be sick of this guy’s shit by December

[–] iguacu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Title had me concerned it might be a Spurs highlight without Wemby. Thankfully it was nothing of the sort, phew.

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I love Sochan. People talk about defending 1-5 a lot these days, but basically none of the guys in that conversation actually do it. Sochan legitimately can.

There’s a lot of Dennis Rodman in him, and while I’d never expect him to reach those levels of defense and rebounding(Rodman was arguably the GOAT at both) he has that amazing blend of instincts, tools, toughness, and tenacity.

Offensively he’s got a lot of work to do, but he possesses a great blend of athleticism, handling, and vision for a guy his size. While I’m not sure he’s a real PG, I think he could be a great playmaking forward maybe like a Lamar Odom.

The jumper in particular needs a lot of work, but I don’t think the problem is a lack of touch and the Spurs have a great history of developing mechanics. Given Sochan’s work ethic and willingness to listen, learn, and experiment I believe he’ll figure it out.

He really got into Amen's head, Amen gotta toughen up mentally. Sochan and Mo Wagner are two of the best instigators in the league rn

[–] old_balance992@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

rodman-esque... spurs have a sneaky good core btwn wemby, sochan & vassell

[–] AngryTurtleGaming@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s Dennis Rodman

[–] alex_119@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

So happy for Pop actually. He has another incredible core that can turn into a dinasty. He needs one more superstar scorer/playmaker and he’s set. (Maybe Spurs fan know if there’s potential in someone)

[–] SunLiteFireBird@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Definitely need a stud scoring point guard, the Sochan experiment is going to be fun to watch but I think his game is not going to be best served running point.

You love to see it.

[–] 101fulminations@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

First he paints you, then he wallpapers you, then he paints you again! It's funny how "entitled" guys get so rattled, like Jordan whining how being guarded by Reggie Miller was like being guarded by a girl lol. You go Jeremy!

Point Rodman Era

[–] ec2xs@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

People are going to love him, then when the Spurs get good, opposing fanbases are going to hate him.
