Holy shit, Wemby is clearly the best player on the floor right now and the floor includes Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.

[–] Diqt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The block on Klay was better. From the dotted line to the 3 point line, Klay looked so comfortable like Wemby was too far to block it. Bet that’s gonna happen a lot this season.

He played with their hearts, got lost in the game…

Oops they thought he was in loovee

[–] Stoicnuts1234@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Is the warriors commentator calling him "WembanyaNa?" or am I stuck on just hearing that now

[–] SnarfSniffsStardust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Goofiest announcer by far, guy drives me nuts

[–] TrainedExplains@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We never liked Bob Fitzgerald, and we were heartbroken when Jim Barnett was forced out.

[–] Shame_On_You_Man@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like how everyone here hates him, but the Warriors were so good they had to listen to him

[–] eeveeritt15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

looks like he made the adjustment on the pronunciation lol

[–] thenotoriouspo2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

such an easy name and I keep hearing it mispronounced

[–] Connect-Product-8155@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There are much easier names people pronounce entirely wrong. Like "Doncic"

Are we only getting upset when consonants are mispronounced and not vowels? because we normalize vowel mispronounciations for no particular reason

[–] rwoteit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No particular reason? How about the fact that it's far less obvious from looking at it. Replacing consonants with another is infinitely more avoidable.

[–] Beautiful_Location76@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is actually an interesting observation. I would respond that vowel sounds are more similar than consonant sounds. They all require similar mouth shapes and are all drawn-out, guttural noises. Consonants, on the other hand, force the mouth into all sorts of different shapes. B, K, SH, and W are all totally different sounds that seem harder in theory to mix up. Granted, in this case, N and M are some of the more similar consonants and seem more likely to get confused with each other.

[–] Diqt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Same I thought I was hearing things. Just call him Wemby, make it easy on yourselves

[–] lets_talk_basketball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

God sent Wemby to end all this Lebron/Jordan talk.... the man guarded the rim, then the 3 point line 1 second after.

[–] Highest_Sentinel88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

bro the west is gonna so fucked with this man

[–] ImDKingSama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man just stopped the PnR then recovered back to the 3-point line to block the kick out three in like 2 steps lmao.

[–] lost_in_trepidation@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wemby is fucking terrifying.

[–] TomBrady_WinsAgain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait til Wembanyama starts doing the Kornet Kontest.
Nobody will see the basket.

[–] jaywalker_69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He did it at least once today

[–] general_dingleberry@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Won't just be Wemby adjusting to the league, league needs to adjust to Wemby

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's not just the wingspan but the recovery distance he gained with only two steps. He's a cheat code defensively. A one man defensive menace of which we've never truly witnessed.

[–] sluggerrr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Front_Photograph_907@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He can help on the pick and roll, literally standing in the paint, and still recover to block the shooter?? What the fuck am I watching. Thats offense breaking level of disruptive ability

[–] Turon26@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wemby would singlehandedly reverse the decades long uptick on 3PA. holy.

[–] alta_vista49@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Alright ROY + MVP. I’m calling it now.

[–] whatthejeebus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dudes are gonna have to learn to do a step back three while already at the three point line lol.

[–] broadwayallday@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

new wemby highlights and rainbow shots gonna take us into 2024

[–] sylsau@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Having a guy like Wembanyama able to get out so quickly on 3-point shooters is a real game-changer.

[–] Rock3tDoge@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He is legitimately playing helpside D at the rim & covering the opposite 3 at the same time. That is such an insane leap beyond where the best in the league was a year ago

[–] naijaboiler@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's defending rim and 3pt line at the same damn time.

[–] RedditUser538xxx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Players are eventually going to learn to make space and fake him . It’s going to be fun seeing hom adjust and keep building on his skills

[–] johnjohn2214@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Coach: Victor, you can't leave a shooter with that much space

Victor: Space? Where we're going, we don't need space.

[–] ICouldEvenBeYou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just like me throwing my shoe in the air.

[–] CDR57@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He jumped FROM THE CORNER

[–] No-Lake-9920@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn I’m already sold on this bastard

[–] MtHoodMagic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So basically he's tall rudy gobert with offensive game

[–] IHateYouKids@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's Ralph Sampson doin wilt things.

[–] 5fives5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This dude deserves a cool nickname. He should not just be Wemby.

[–] naijaboiler@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] wetfarts2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mitchell Robinson does this all the time…blocked 22 3’s in a season…

[–] 210plus210@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

what do you do? where do you go? how do you win??

[–] Tuckboi69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m sold on him

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

From summer league to now he looks like a different human

[–] DatDudeJakeC@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is like when I made a 7’1 QB in Madden 10

[–] erog84@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wonder what his standing reach is compared to wilt. Probably fairly close, and then when you consider wilt was way more athletic and stronger…
