Once in a lifetime talent

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

This whole time I've been saying, "It's just preseason. It's just preseason. It's just preseason."

I am now saying, "What in the world did I just witness?!"

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

The fuck goin on wembanyama

[–] SteakBone416@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What the fuck

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

Goddamn, who is gonna guard this guy?

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

He’s about to keep a lot of long athletic players in the league the same way shaq used to keep unskilled big men in the league

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

Sign me and I’ll play on top of loony’s shoulders?

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

Is there a rule against this?

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

heh. League fucked. I cannot believe how good Lively is at being tall. We finally have a fucking center!!!

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

I feel like the only thing you can do is get bigs to be physical with him or try to foul him out. Otherwise just pray

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

It will be interesting to see how he matches up with players who are more physical.

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

be cool to wear his jersey, but damn, spur jerseys are ugly

[–] flash3444@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

10 points , 1 rebound, 2 block in 1:32 game time, god damn

[–] Disastrous-Object22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I am glad the Nuggets got the championship when they did.

[–] SlyMrF0x@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ, this dude’s the real fucking deal. If he stays healthy, he’s easily going to be top 10 - this is insane for a rookie.

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

this is insane to watch any human do this kind of shit, let alone a 19 year old rook. He’s going to run the world

[–] Slave4uandme@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So this is what a 7’4 KD is like

[–] Viciouscauliflower21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

As long as he can stay healthy, there's absolutely nothing stopping this man. And that's fucking wild 😭

[–] Aggressive_Strike75@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The highlights keep getting longer and longer. A highlight of the highlights. Insane talent. Gonna be fun to follow.

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

I usually hate warriors announcers but what he was saying was right. 'Toying'

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

That block at the end 😭

[–] SubZero_dot785@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's going to lock AD up

Didn't realize he was uncut.

[–] spellman1969@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

All you can do is laugh 😂 this must’ve been like watching a rookie MJ

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

This is like Ralph Sampson doing Wilt things. Multiple blocked 3s is just bananas

[–] Kindly-Guidance714@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rookie MJ barely got national media coverage this is closer to rookie Shaq, must watch TV.

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

He’s making freak athletes look like they’re 5’9 and playing in the beer league

[–] bilyl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It’s like they’re playing against an octopus. Also that guy just strolls at half speed but he’s back on D before anyone else lmao

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I know right? It looks like he's moving slowly but he's fast at the same time

It's a mind fuck watching him lol

This guy was #47 in the ESPN player rankings for this season, and there were people here trying to act like that's crazy. How many other guys in the league can have a sequence like this?

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

he’s going to make literally every star look stupid at some point this year. he’s about to embarrass literally everyone

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

I see some Tim Duncan preparation in the free throw attempt

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

Dude. That was nuts.

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

I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.

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

Wemby is built to destroy the warriors…

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

Holy crap.

Please stay healthy kid, the game needs you.

[–] neekog7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ah the WembanyaNA highlight reel

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

What the fuck is the league supposed to do about this? He’s just a taller, more athletic, more gifted Tim Duncan

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

Best player since LeBron.

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

Insane sequence by an insane talent. I agree with u/djpacheco1003 about the perimeter defense. He was a little apprehensive I'd say on the perimeter, sliding, giving up a little too much space, initially in preseason. But the tools are absolutely there for him to cause havor to wings on the perimeter and Warriors wings were not taking him on when he was switched onto them throughout the game; he's individually going to, if it hasn't already occurred, going to be a one man brake as a defender. Teams will have to figure out how to avoid getting him involved in the action. Warriors love to exploit these wing/guard on big mismatches but it doesn't work on Wemby.

It doesn't really work with Collins either, which is what makes the Spurs really dangerous.

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

Why this dude gotta be in the western conference fr

[–] baldwhip123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can this guy get his name right?? It’s not hard.

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

Damn, is this dude gonna get mvp and roty in the same year?

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I legitimately think he could be the first rookie to win dpoy

[–] sweeptheleg_07@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

HOF career likely, assuming his feet hold up.

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

I was impressed by him just bringing the hall up the court. Lol everything he does is a wonder at his size

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

Just wow 😮

[–] two4gone@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh nahh he’s it
