WEMBY vs. GIANNIS LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS 👏 Bucks-Spurs RECAP | SportsCenter

This matchup delayed because Wy had the bum ankle back in December and I have to say it has lived up to expectations even if in the beginning Wy was a little slow I don’t care if it’s Milwaukee or the Sisters of the Poor I don’t care you got to play the right way

If you’re going to catch and shoot catch and shoot but don’t sit there and then shoot well he was one of five from the fields in the first quarter he’s not sitting there in the second quarter two Defenders throws it off the glass to himself awesome Spurs down

Four that’s what you can do and I feel like everyone just kind of watched it because they’re like okay Giannis extra pass Bobby poris Bobby gets denied by Wy so we’ve got the uh creative offense now we’ve got the defense next spur possession Yannis is like I can’t let

You do that without me also showing off Damen Lillard going to get involved as well there we go Giannis with the dunk Milwaukee had a comfortable lead we go to the third comfortable as in like at least a handful and you’re like oh it’s the bux LMI comes away with the

Steal Spurs down six after that three-point play got the foul eight minutes left in the third bucks up three Lillard Giannis going to fight through the double team over Wy we’re tied at 93 at the end of three how do we feel about the stink

Face I feel like it’s his it’s his look Giannis to Brook Lopez back to Giannis watch Giannis do this little up little under bucks up one teammate said this game was fun to watch it was fun to watch those two go back and forth Giannis attacking over W

Plus the foul bucks down two after the three-point play Then Giannis knocking down that triple again over Wy we tied at 118 still tied Lillard Giannis there were a lot of points for Giannis and when he is hitting threes like that that’s what’s going to happen Spurs down

Three a minute to play in the game wanyama burying his own triple game tied at 121 the Bucks also just lost to the Pacers and you’re like they can’t possibly lose this one Giannis is like no I’m going to put you on my back and then I’m going to

Throw it down with authority Bock led by three 30 seconds left that lead is still three yanx driving to the wiim it’s just him and Y no Spurs have a chance now to tie the game because there are just what 8 seconds left watch this Wy to a wide open Trey Jones Corner

Three no Giannis had 44 points and 14 rebounds you have wemi with 20 but the Bucks get the win 125 121 he’s special um he’s going to be extremely good player got got to stay healthy uh he plays the right way plays to win um I don’t know I’ve never seen

Anything like him 74 75 I don’t know how tall he is he’s not 73 he’s way older than 7 uh so whoever say he’s 73 that’s a lie uh but like at the end of day like you haven’t seen anything like like that you know I haven’t maybe you guys have

Seen I don’t think you guys have seen every so so the sky is the limit and as long as you work hard and he keep on having you know positive attitude energy towards the the game everything uh that he dreams of is going to happen for him

Somebody I grew up watching and uh one of the the greatest players in the world so it’s always uh extra motivation and and uh I know you know I’m a competitor so I’m I want to go at everyone and be be the bad guy on the court you know so

It’s a it was a great mat up along the lines of how competitive you are and and uh motivation anything have to do with the uh rookie of the month for the West was announced today Allstar voting came out today any of that tie into what we

Tonight of course of course you know uh I’m dedicated and I know at the end of the game at end of the day I’m going to get what I deserve and it’s you know every game is a statement for now I know I’m supposed to be telling

You about the numbers on this little graphic here but can we just take a minute and appreciate baby Giannis there on the left look at him it’s a baby the point of all of this is lby should not be so hard on himself because look at where Giannis was in his rookie season

He only started 23 games and he averaged under seven points per game Wy on the other hand is averaging nearly 20 point a 20 point double double in his first 30 games of his Career

  1. For 36 minutes Victor is averaging 23-13-4, 1.3 steels and 4 blocks per game. LeBron James as a rookie for 36 minutes averaged 19-5-5, 1.5 steels and 0.7 blocks. At the same juncture (6th Jan) Lebron was 10-24 and Wemby 5-28. Two generational talents

  2. Giannis look like a shrimp next to wemby….that round the bacc dunk Wendy did is just a seamless move to the basket with no jump to slam it ridiculous the dude literally doesn't have to jump

  3. Spurs guards tryna earn a contract the way the ball hog because if wemby get more touches there record would not look like that

  4. Now imgaine how amazing this highlight scene wouldve been with stu scott. Ik im comparing her to the Goat but liven up a littlem this game had crazy highlights and you skid right past them!

  5. "Baby" Giannis was a raw talent. It makes 0 sense to compare Wemby , a player who has been brought up in the basketball court , with "Baby" Giannis who first touched a basketball at the age of 13.

    The journalistic level of ESPN staff is below "ignorant".

  6. Giannis playing and dominating on the 2nd night of a b2b is INSANE!!! Look at hownslow everyone else on the bucks looked! I think he couldve dropped 60 if he had 2 or 3 days rest !

  7. Have been watching him his entire LNB Season in France, he had the same evolution so far, good start in Autumn, Nov and Dec some struggles, then starts the new year and it 's progression game after game … next 6 months will be real interesting!

  8. I never thought i see a player that makes giannis look like a 6.4 player on the court.
    Was a crazy game wemby next year will be more buff and better gas tank.

  9. the play at 0:50 epitomizes how bad that team plays and everybody except Wemby just thinks about statpadding. easy pass and easy 2 turned into an easy block by Giannis and an easy 2 at the other end…
