Want to ride with perk or any of the other big men but Brian yesterday you said that despite the Spurs being last right Wy wants to win now he wants to win now he played every single minute of the fourth quarter last night for the second straight game the only two

Quarters where he’s played all 12 minutes of season so what’s impressed you the most about him here people aren’t giving wanyama enough credit enough attention because not only is he playing awesome this guy trash talks this guy trash talks like you and because he speaks with an accent and

Because he doesn’t monotone he doesn’t get it listen to what he said after this game very important for me because it’s um you know I’m I’m convinced that I mean I you know I am who I am I’m I’m in the the organization you know that trusts me I’m I’m

Convinced that uh the best way for me to have my team is by being uh also individually performing and uh you know on on a whole season so it’s a so yes individual Awards like Rookie of the Year are very important for me okay now

I want you to think about in 2004 if LeBron James came out after a game after his team went two and 10 in a month which is what happened with Victor and he said I’m him and I want to win every award cold pizza would have gone into meltdown the next

Day okay but Victor because because the way he talks about it Nobody Does it this guy he was pissed off that he didn’t win the skills challenge he was angry at the all-star weekend because Anthony Edwards screwed around he wants to win it all he wants it all and he

Just said it I care about the indidual awards he said earlier we talked yesterday he wants his team to win he said he wants to win the dunk contest the three contest the All-Star game MVP he wants to win everything and doesn’t just doesn’t just do it he talks about

It I’m telling you this guy is a gem the NBA is going to discover it the idea that a CH hom gr Victor rinama game was not going to be on National Television retired next year going forward every time these two guys are going to play

It’s going to be on national TV just just wait and watch get on the train they they should be I mean there should be an allergy he has an allergy rather to losing but the San Antonio Spurs team has not been good this season W so what does the outlook look like for

The Spurs is they’re trying to sort of put a support system around Victor here the Spurs can’t treat this like a long-term rebuild they can’t you know you hear in these organizations we can’t skip steps they’ve got to move quickly in putting uh a real team around him uh

This is a team that I think what this organization said before the season coming into Victor wey’s rookie year is he will dictate he will dictate essentially the timeline this group will dictate the timeline for how quickly he’s ready for speeding this thing up I think he’s delivered that message this

Is a player who’s going to be you know we said this at the draft last year he’s going to be the best player at both ends of the floor by his third season in the NBA I wonder if that wasn’t to uh conservative and by next season this is

A player who you know he’s going to win multiple MVPs he’s going to start winning them quickly and the defensive player of the year award will be retired in his name no one else is ever going to win this maybe after this year I love the way W talks about Victor because he

Doesn’t talk about like this but here’s why this is going to be hard because a 2025 draft is expected to be much much better than the 2024 draft the Spurs have multiple picks right now in the 2 draft and especially theirs and it’s going to be very tempting for them to go

Slow I think because you know they may spend in free agency and trade and they may only be able to get like look what the Houston Rockets did Houston Rockets were the one one of the worst teams in the League last year they said we want

To get better they spent a bunch of money they made a bunch of moves and they’re now in 12th the Spurs probably don’t want to do that they probably would like to draft high again in 2025 it’s going to be hard to do what I think

Victor is kind of forcing them to do well they’re going to draft high again this season which is and look they may not have a choice about where they draft in 2025 not only because of what wiim banama wants but because of how damn good he is he is so good already it’s

Ridiculous they won’t be one of the third worst teams in the league and have a saw you see it with LeBron the Cavs never drafted high again because LeBron was so good it can’t be stated enough all of these things you guys are saying you choose your words carefully when you

Describe a prospect and those are the words you’re saying he has exceeded that hype he is getting better stronger more well-rounded more durable as the season goes on and as bad as the Spurs are they allow 120 points for 100 possessions when wemi is on the bench and 112 when

He’s on the floor that’s the difference between the worst defense in the NBA and a top five defense in the NBA this guy there is no ceiling the ceiling it doesn’t exist there’s no ceiling and Zach you said getting stronger it was the only element to his game or to him

That wasn’t there when he arrived there was no other part of his talent um that wasn’t ready to uh dominate in this league he had to get stronger it wasn’t shooting it wasn’t his shot blocking ability all of those things and as his body matures and gets stronger it is

Remarkable to see perk you played in this league as a rookie and to dominate The League it didn’t take him very long to figure it out and you know saw him in person the other night against the Lakers and you just see on the floor his

Presence even if you on the other side of the court and away from the ball you feel him his presence on the court and you see everyone reacting to it in a way I’ve never seen another player on the defensive end he’s the greatest Prospect ever right we all agree about that

Pressure make diamonds but pressure also burst pipes and if the San Antonio Spurs don’t act quickly it’s going to be a flood in San Antonio they have to put the pieces around him because this young man wants to win wants to win his historical moments you hear him in the

Postgame interview he’s not satisfied he’s not happy because some of those moments came with L’s so if you’re the Spurs you’re on the clock for one time in your life you’re actually on the clock and you know what should be terrifying for the rest of the NBA

Victor shot 41% from three in the month of February he’s can do the dribble he can create for himself he is only getting Better
