Why Victor Wembanyama Can’t Stand Chet Holmgren



Why Victor Wembanyama Can’t Stand Chet Holmgren

When they hand out Rookie of the Year this season everyone to look back at ched verse wimy round three the thunder came in winning their last six games by double digits and ched started on fire made wimy look silly outscoring him 11 to2 in the first quarter then Vic hit

Back but it was a three-point game with Just 4 minutes left and wimy took over a deep three over the outstretched arms of hom Gren then another one get over here but the game came down to ch vers wmy one-on-one hen trying to answer take it

Away Vick was so hyped he screamed at his bench and after the win was straight emotional I missed it I love it I missed it Wy played the entire fourth just the second time that he’s played a full quarter all year he wants rookie of the

Year but it’ll be even sweeter for him to beat Chad holgren but to be clear Chad would win rookie of the year in almost any other season just look at his month of February 19 points eight boards and four stocks steals plus blocks on Amazing efficiency the only problem is

Wimy better stats in every category also efficient on fewer minutes yes Chet’s team has eight wins while the Spurs only have two but the award has never been about wins and losses this is the year of Wim banama and he’ll have the trophy to prove it but it hasn’t always always

Been that way something happened between these two before the NBA Chad and wimy followed each other’s lives for years before they met both were freakishly tall and skilled prospects and wimy would watch Chad’s highlights and follow his ranking then they finally played against each other in the u9 FBA World

Cup Final in 2021 games are more fun win or lose with Underdog fantasy but I’m not going to lie it always helps to win pick them is the game I like to play you pick higher lower for your favorite play players or whatever game you’re going to

Want to watch and you can up to 20 extra money on a single night I have two picks for you tonight first up is CJ McCullum we’re going to go higher on his points he has gone higher in seven of his last eight games against the Pacers and

Speaking of that matchup hie higher on his assists he had 13 the last time he played the PS and best of luck if you were tailing those picks also if you first sign up you get a free squar you only have to take one of my picks check

Overseas and France has never even made a final let alone win not even 9s but this year was different a super close game and Vic was dominating 22 points eight boards and eight blocks but he fouled out late in the fourth quarter and the USA pulled off a two-point win

Win France could have won if their best player wasn’t benched and to make things worse Chad took home the gold medal and the tournament MVP to this day Vic calls it the worst basketball memory of his life just thinking about it makes my jaw clinch and Chad knew that after their

First preseason game together in the league Chad saw wm’s family in the hallway after the game and said hey remember the last time we played that was fun right uh no just reminding wimy yeah forget preseason I beat you when the games really count so winning Rookie

Of the Year over his rival will be sweet revenge but that feeling won’t last long because wimy is going to sit at home and watch Chad play meaningful playoff games that is not good for the San Antonio Spurs they’re at the start of a long rebuild but I don’t think wimy is going

To stick around for that even in his rookie Year dude is miserable with all this losing for example wimy was asked hey how does it feel to join Michael Jordan as the only guy with five Steals and five blocks in back-to-back games um I mean it’s Uh I wonder if he if he did it in in wins who says that as a 20-year-old all he can think about is winning he’s like a 20-year-old Kobe Bryant compare that to DeAndre Aon he was also pick number one but said his definition of success is earning a six-figure contract

Recently Aiden said he has nothing left to prove wm’s out here making history saying it doesn’t count cuz they lost now part of that might be that wimy knows the history of 7 foot3 guys or taller in the NBA most of them do not have long careers with injury so he

Doesn’t have time for a 3 to foure rebuild in San Antonio if that’s true how are the Spurs going to support their Superstar it would be extremely UNS sperss likee to make a big splashy trade I mean the only star free agent that they’ve ever got is LaMarcus Holdridge

In 2016 not exactly Kevin Durant part of that is being in a small Market but another part is doing things the right way and not taking shortcuts but wimy is different if they sense that he’s this unhappy maybe they speed things up the only leverage that wimy has is to not

Sign his supermax contract after his rookie deal no player has ever done that in NBA history wimy could be the first and if they decide to go big their first opportunity will be this off season with Trey young Trey has quietly been hinting his dream trade would be to San Antonio

Dude compliments Vic every chance he gets it’s everything that everybody’s been saying about him and you can tell he’s humble competes wants to work hard so he’s got all the intangibles to be the best player ever Trey also suggested that wi’s life would be a lot easier if

He was on the team they Ed him a lot better in that second half throwing it up to him I mean sometimes you feel for him he he has some open looks sometimes they don’t get it to him and look at Trey stats when he plays the Spurs his

Highest scoring game of the year came in San Antonio how obvious can it get several reports have even said Trey confirmed would love to team up with wimy DeMarcus Cousin said this week he hopes Trey’s played his last game for the Haw I feel like his talent is being

Wasted his prime is being wasted get healthy get yourself 100% correct whether that’s in Atlanta or you know fingers crossed the San Antonio Spurs it’s a match made in heaven it just makes sense which is how Trey young feels apparently but there’s one team that could screw all this up Trey is

Represented by LeBron’s agency clutch Sports and the Lakers didn’t trade for dejonte Murray to get more assets for a bigger star this off season the Lakers now have three first round picks three swaps and Austin Reed’s valuable contract La needs an elite point guard and could use trade scoring but the

Spurs have even more assets to trade but more importantly the Hawks own picks when they dealt to jante Murray Atlanta gave them danila galinari a first from Charlotte plus control of three of their first round picks starting in 20125 if Atlanta is going to do this big rebuild

It would kind of help to have your own draft pick back so no one has a bigger advantage to get Trey young than San Antonio and if this trade went down if you consider the Deon Murray trade the final result would basically be Trey for deante in one first round pick that

Would be such an epic move for the Spurs getting a superstar like Trey for way below market value the only question really would be do they include the Spurs 2024 first round pick cuz it could go number one overall I mean would wimy rather have Tre an established star

Who’s 25 years old or the number one pick could be either Zachary Reese another Frenchman or alexar all we know is wimy is going to win rookie of the year but wimy won’t be happy with that he wants to be playing in meaningful games quick and speaking of meaningful

Games the Dallas Mavericks are crushing it the secret of course is Luca and Kyrie nobody knew that they would be this good together but they’re both dominating with just one basketball everything really changed for them after the trade deadline and now the new look Mavs are a problem for the NBA

Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama faced off yet again but this time the Spurs got the win. The deciding factor was Wemby in the fourth quarter and most people think he’s got the Rookie of the Year award won barring injury. But there’s another storyline behind this rivalry and it goes back to when the two phenoms were teenagers before the NBA.

  1. It's clear that the Spurs will do, they will sign Chet Holmgren to pair him up for the new Twin Towers, think of David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

  2. You're wrong. The Spurs aren't at the start of a long rebuild. Theyll be in playoff contention next year and fighting for a top seed by Wemby's 3rd season

  3. Media just wishing Wemby leaves the Spurs for a big market team. That won't happen dreamers. Wemby said it over and over again…he wanted to be a Spur all his life and loves the Spurs culture.

  4. Would love to see the Spurs pick Zach Edey in this year's draft. Imagine running a hi low with two 7'4 guys 🤣🤣

  5. buddy will make the spurs accelerate really on the rebuild, he is nearly ready to support it…

  6. Ngl all spurs need to do is make a good signing this offseason bc they can afford to do that. And no that doesn’t mean sign lebron that means get a veteran that Will average 16-20 pts a night

  7. Something that I always like to share on content about the internet talking about Chet. In 2022, I went to the Portland location for the first round of the March madness tournament, I stayed at the same hotel as SMC and Gonzaga. Every player I saw in the hallway was really nice. Drew Timme was definitely the highlights. The only player who was being rude and disrespectful was Chet. He has an ego, and it’s not exclusive to his basketball career. The more I hear about players not getting along with him the less surprised I am he acts this way.

  8. 😂😂😂😂 yea he’s gonna leave the spurs and join a super team yea you got all right 😭😭😭

  9. People need to chill about Wemby leaving the spurs any time soon… it’s like 4 years till his contract runs out bruh. Haha it’s his rookie season they’ll build around him in the offseason they did not know what he would be come this year chiiiiill

  10. Chet has two Rookie of the Month wins in the West. Wemby has one. He too plays in the West. What logic crowns Wemby as Rookie of the Year already with twenty games to go?

  11. Why Trae wanna go play with old ass Lebron? Just so he can be the scapegoat when things don’t go well? Trae definitely going to the Spurs

  12. Before they matched up, I was all for Chet. But now I believe most fans are for Wemby.

  13. Nobody wants to say it but one of the reasons the team is so bad is Wembanyama. He's very skilled but he's made a lot of mistakes in key situations and the team was winning more last season. In the long run, he'll be a huge asset for the win-loss record. But if he leaves, it'd be a huge mistake for him.

  14. its pathetic how he somehow managed to spin this completely normal rivalry to wemby secretly hating the spurs and wanting to leave

  15. If Chet was on the spurs stats a be different, Chet on okc with a mvp scorer and a bunch on great role players spurs best player is literally victor

  16. Wemby is a breath of fresh air. He has the mindset , grit, grind & my issue is POP is getting older. #MIAMI + #WEMBY! Miami should break the bank w/ #WEMBY & #ANTMAN ; & THEY FINALLY WILL HAVE THE DEPTH, THE KILLERS & THE EXTRA PUSH TO GET THEM PAST the NUGGETS & BUTLERS elusive CHIP, and those two would make them an INSANE Juggernaut innthe EAST; and would SLAUGHTER BOSTON EVERY SEASON !

    I hope he gets what he needs; & NO , that isnt T. YOUNG, he isn't an Elite /2-Way Guard, & he isn't who ANYONE should want paired w/ WEMBY. 1.) #SGA (should jump ship), 2) #ANTMAN
    3.) #HEATCULTURE ! ?? 4) #BULLS ?

    I dunno? I dont want to see WEMBY join a Superteam, but some of the options are wild to consider, like the #NUGGETS ? LOL #Warriors ?! #BOSTON (God forbid that never happens)
    #Toronto has youth, killers, & a WEMBY away from having something very very special ! & no, @%$! the Timberwolves , the Lakers, & Boston.

    B) However, What should happen …is the SPURS PAY #ANTMAN , DRAFT WELL & keep focused on Defense! #DEFENSE STILL WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS & it's DEFENSE that will take WEMBY & this SPURS team to the promised land, they need TWO, ELITE 2-Way juggernauts in that backcourt to support WEMBY & DEPTH, SPACERS & ASSASSINS in both the MID RANGE & PERIMETER ;

    "I wonder if he (MJ) Did it in WINS??"
    IS EXACTLY WHY THE #NBA needs WEMBY and why LeBron James is not in my TOP 30; Because its HEART & the desire & insatiable need to suffocate your opponents under your sheer will to win & WIN THE RIGHT WAY, not the "*LeFRAUD WAY*" !

  17. Ayton has it right. In the end basketball the game is meaningless. If you can get that money and use it for what matters like self growth, family and investments you are winning.

  18. First of all why all the hate for chet. He will last longer less injuries.. Besides, Victor has 3 inches Taller. And his wingspan is 83.. C H e t only 76.
