UNDISPUTED | “Wemby actually better than the hype.. it’s scary” – Skip reacts to T-Wolves beat Spurs

Once again your turn # Undisputed live here we go first tweet the fact the Bears are even debating this says it all about fields and what they think yeah I second that emotion that’s exactly right it it’s just crazy that they think he can’t play but you got rid

Of the coaching staff yeah that doesn’t make sense no it doesn’t make sense that’s a mess the offensive coaching staff better yet all this is from spat Lana who says meanwhile the man who’s made the comment and this is harking back to Eliot wolf talking about Bill

Bich or so we thought the man who made the comment looks like a spoiled white privileged Ivy leager who doesn’t belong in the same room with belich I hope he runs the Patriots organization into the ground he’s already not focused on the task at hand with these cheap shots I

Don’t think it we didn’t think it was a shot I think it was a statement of fact and I think spon is everybody every he worked under them for four years everybody knows what it is like I said working for those two I love them both

Working for Bill and Bill is like dog GE that’s not a cheap shot that I’m talking about and by the way Elliot wolf if he was scouting for Bel over the last four years didn’t do much of a job himself Elliot wolf sound like a name from Wall

Street or it does The Wolf of Wall Street no it just yeah finally from Emmanuel hey Skip we need to ask ourselves how great a coach is Greg without Duncan or even the other two of The Big Three I’ve been asking that question I’ve always said that yeah

You’re only as good as your players well hey that’s just the reality of it you’re only as good as your players a little better because ever since Duncan walked out the door it started to slide into the sunset well I mean you got to have players okay well they got one now yeah

They still in the spoiler though all right so Victor wiama just keeps getting better by the dribble he’s running away with Rookie of the Year in most people’s eyes he’s making a run at Defensive Player of the Year cuz he’s leading the league by far in blocks and he’s not far

From becoming a Bonafide MVP candidate so Kean before I ask this question let me show you a couple of quick plays from last night in the game at Minnesota here’s the block okay so he blocks go bear and then he dribbles the ball up the floor by

Himself he goes behind the back off the backboard and couldn’t finish but did get fouled and then watch this on Kyle Anderson he was about 68 maybe he’s he’s putting moves on Kyle Anderson and ripping a three are you kidding me at 7′ 4 in I know he just looks so long

And slow though good wimy does okay I’ll buy that and by the way they call Kyle Anderson slow-mo himself so maybe that was a good matchup for him but so kesan we we heard before the season that wimy had the potential to be the greatest player ever are you you seeing any of

That yet it’s hard to project somebody as the greatest player ever it’s hard it’s hard is is he because he’s got to win championships he’s got to win championships he’s not better than Kevin Durant okay he’s not better than he’s just not and and and and I’m just gonna

Use Kevin as an example all right and Kevin’s won championships I’m just using that one person I don’t even want to get into King games right let’s say okay so wiy played how many years in in in in uh couple so he B pro ball professional basketball at the highest European level

So he should be a little more polished than most kids coming straight into the NBA at College that’s my whole point okay so now when you start talking about the greatest ever right LeBron James came from high school he did and three years later he was was in

An NBA final he was and in his first game at Sacramento he scored 25 points go ahead so if wiy played professional basketball his clock has sped up as a pro faster than LeBron’s did but LeBron in three years four years was already in the finals can wimy at least get to that

Point in the next two to three years not and then you say and then you say well LeBron has some help well he really didn’t have any help he really didn’t it was like LeBron James and and uh me and you’s right it was Larry Hughes and Drew

Gooden and da Marshall and I mean come on man yeah like seriously and so and those are NBA players they are in their own right they were good but not on LeBron’s level and wimy has the same challenges in San Antonio he doesn’t have guys on his level but can he

Elevate enough to get his team into postseason contention to where you start to say okay yeah he did that yeah you know yeah Blocks he’s goingon to get N9 feet tall he gonna get Blocks he’s going to get rebounds but it’s all the other things that he has to develop so it’s

Hard to just say and project a guy in three four months yeah could be the best player to ever play in the NBA I hear you come on man stop I do see revolutionary skills at that link at that that height and length it’s just we’ve never seen anything quite like

This all right that’s true y you’ve seen long guys that have certain skill sets but not this total skill set but his skill set see the blocking stuff he’s already TS so I don’t it’s not like he’s intimidating blocking yeah he just he’s already up at The Rim he’s already his

Damn head is going to hit the rim if you jump yeah you know okay just for the record he has 175 blocks Chad home the other rookie we’re calling him a rookie cuz he didn’t get to play last year he has 154 so it’s 175 to 154 and chth

Second in the league that’s how many more blocks he has than the next best the point is that I was on him early on and I said get your skinny butt down low because you can do so much more damage nobody can guard that when yeah you’re

Just too tall so what happened he started to post up more and more and he got away from shooting threes even though he’s improved a little B bit for a while he was dead last in three-point shooting and he was shooting way too many of them now he’s up to 32% from he

Shot seven last night May to okay I I don’t love it I just don’t love it but again he’s got a nice stroke and he’s making 82% of his free throws which I do love so I give you that all right so I do like shed hongren I I I like his grit

And and I like he he’s still a bean pole but but he has real skill maybe not wimy skill but he’s having more impact on a much I’m I’m giving you a much better team because Shay Gill is right there in the MVP race as we speak but listen I look

At Chad he’s given you 17 and eight a game and three blocks a game he’s right on his tail as far as average blocks per game and wimy is 2110 in three blocks so wimy is a little better you know 21 to 17 10 rebounds to eight and the blocks

Are fairly close a little bit better okay a little bit better the point is Chad is in the middle of playing for a team that is tied for first in the Western Conference and has the second best record in the NBA yeah but that’s not fair Okay the reason it’s not fair

Right is cuz the dude playing out on alongside of him okay all right okay I but but listen Chad is having I watch them every night because I’m into him he is having real impact on their games skip at the guy come on okay but the

Other guy you’re giving me 21 and 10 and you’re giving me plays like I just showed and you’re getting blown out night after night after night not but it’s not again it’s not fair you understand they are five games the worst in the western confence I understand all of that but if

You took wimy and you put him on OKC what is that I don’t think it would change that much I think it would be about the same I I don’t know that to be true but what would that be okay so I watch the Spurs a lot I used to be a

Huge fan I’m not a big papovich fan I’ve told you that before but Vel is pretty good he’s averaging 19 a game and uh Kellin Johnson is pretty good he was good for our Olympic team for our our um Team USA and he’s averaging 16 and sohan’s got some ability as a passer

He’s averaging 11 and six assists okay so you you have some players when when you’re making a case that that you should be in the MVP race seriously because when when there are nights when he puts up historic kinds of numbers where you say well is he that far away

From being at least in the MVP discussion yeah but MVP conversations and players in the MVP conversation they go like this they don’t go yeah no no I I’m it’s not like that they’re 11 and 48 here’s what I’m saying I do believe that Greg papovich is getting as we just had

The the Tweet he’s getting some pass here and obviously he’s done like belich he had his great run with the big three especially with Tim Duncan but if this were some jacqu vaugh coaching the Spurs right now he would be on the hot seat if not already fired just the way he did

Get fired of course you going to give pop what do you mean he’s getting es skape what do you he’s going tocate okay but pop once said when Tim Duncan walks out that door I’ll be right behind him and that was what are we going on seven

Years ago and go look at what they’ve done for the last six years go go help me out seven years ago was was kawi still on the team I don’t even remember well he just Fallen apart with Kawai but was Kawai when Tim was Kawai still on

The team when Tim retired yeah but they still had a decent team though at that time but they he they didn’t cash anything after that they but now he’s hit Pay Dirt potentially with wimy so I understand what you I understand what you’re saying there’s no

Impact to it yet I understand yeah it’s not being impacted in he’s going to get the benefit of the doubt why you you’re going to give him the benefit of the do well you thought he he earned it you thought Bill belich deserved the benefit

Of the do he deserved the he got it for four years yeah for the last four years and then they said hey we want to start over Okay well pop just hit the lottery cuz he got to start over with his next Brady right well basketball is different

Than football all you need is one guy in football you need multiple guys all right up next Young Money joins us to talk about Caleb Williams versus Justin Fields I’ll take Caleb what will they take no Merc

  1. Why did Skip hire this fool? Saying he’s not as good as KD. How many blocks does KD have this year? KD has easy chips for joining a super team

  2. He’s better than KD, KD join a 72 win team to get those rings wemby is rookie doing this Jst wait till he add some muscle

  3. Kevin Durant is definitely the better offensive player, but Wemby is straight up already a better defender hands down. Argument is DOPY.

  4. His whole argument was Wembys team sucks and then his final point ‘in basketball you only need one guy, in football you need multiple guys’

  5. ROY = Wemby all day
    DPOY = Wemby, teams have to adjust with him on the floor
    MVP = that one is a hard no right now, mainly due to the Spurs current record. Also, his TO rate when trying to make assist is still too high i

  6. Come on! Stop with the narrative "LeBron did it all by himself". Bball is a sport team, and no team wins just because of one player.
    Moreover when you hear that when the team looses that's everybody BUT him.
    That's sheer disrespect for LeBron's teammates.

  7. If I remember right didn't Duncan have David Robinson on the team when he was a rookie, who does Wemby have that is on that level, don't get me wrong Vassell , Keldon and Sochan are nice players, I do hope that the Spurs get a point guard in this draft .

  8. Why do we never acknowledge Chet shorting splits? They are generational at his size and position. He is going to be a career regular 50/40/90 member

  9. LeBron playing in the lEastern conference had a lot to do with this playoff success.

    Let's give Wemby a few years and see where we are at.

    My prediction is that Wembys peak is going to be in GOAT conversation. I can see him breaking the game similar to Shaq in that regard.

  10. To say that wemby has to make the finals in 2-3 years in order to be in goat talks is crazy, how long it took jordan to make the finals? Also to say that wemby has to elevate a team full of young players who themselves are just getting their feet wet in the league is ridiculous. Keyshawn needs to chill and be realistic, not everyone has to have the exact same career as a lebron or jordan in order to be a potential goat in the future

  11. WYMBEYAMA ain't ish. He has length but everything else he is considered average. Here's the thing this is all about promoting European players to one day take over the American style of basketball that became mainstream from the gritty play grounds throughout this country.. It's all about placing shade on the American blacks that has carried this league for years…

  12. just bc the thunder r the 1 seed don’t mean chet contributes to winning more. chet’s been amazing but, if u swap chet n wemby the thunder r the favorites in the finals

  13. I don’t think Keyshawn it REALLY paying attention. Wembanyama has the skill set of Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili, get him some help and San Antonio will DOMINATE & RULE the NBA.
