Really good landing spot for this kid. I also liked that they drafted another French prospect in round two. I imagine that’ll help him even more with the transition.
I wonder if Pop will give this kid some minutes, or if he’ll spend most of his time in the G-League.
$10,000 or dinner with Tim Duncan and David Robinson?
Can Spurs fan chime in. Where is Boris Diaw and Tony Parker???
Talent really does open doors huh
I thought I was finally free from the tyranny of San Antonio big men
That’s a dream dinner. Wemby is living the life
What food did they have? Anyone know?
Gotta bulk him up
Why was Elliott invited? He no big man!
They just had the welcome the rookies presentation, and Cissoko said “he was in Dallas but he hates the Mavericks” – I was immediately sold 😆
Churros were on the house!
Imagine if he had dinner with the Hornets or Blazers…
Who are they inviting? Gerald Wallace? Greg Oden?
Gotta be cool as hell knowing that the franchise you got drafted to has that sort of loyalty from it’s legends.
Bro imagine being drafted then having dinner with these legends. That experience must be insane
Was it dinner or was it a starcraft LAN party?
Where’s Matt Bonner?!
I hope this was a surprise. Like his agent told him they were having dinner with some Spurs execs and he walks into the private dining room like Empire Strikes Back with Timmy at the head.
Class organization
First class organization.
He has so much basketball knowledge around him… my god this is going to be scary
Surprised Tony Parker wasn’t there for the French connection.
[1/3 into this video, Wemby first heard the word “Alamo” on draft night](https://twitter.com/TheWilderThings/status/1672393996646088706?s=20)
I’m really rooting for this kid
Spurs fans are so fucking lucky, it makes me hate my own team even more than i do now.
Culture.
Gotta say it like Chuck used to: “GINOBLIIII!!!”
I think quite a bit of NBA and I never saw anybody as graceful is David Robinson. Just beautiful
How many other small market teams have a lot of their stars still live in the city after their career?
Paul Wall, Bun B, Slim Thug, and representatives of the Perfect 10 Strip Club had dinner with Amen Thompson last night after his arrival in Houston. Welcome, kid.
that is some avengers stuff right there
The city of San Antonio is on one right now. His arrival off the plane led the local news last night. They are having some sort of welcome party on the river walk today with tons of fans there. There were huge watch parties on draft lottery night. As a Mavs fan living right outside of San Antonio, I’ve really come to appreciate the Spurs fans and their extreme passion.
Then jumped his ass in the parking lot
Blood in blood out, Vatos Locos for life cuh
