“Victor Wembanyama is the greatest rookie since LeBron” – Perks reacts to Spurs beat Pacers 117-105

Figured it out so we’re going to pick it up early in the second quarter the Spurs up by eight here easy work Johnson throwing it to Wy throws it down so now the scor is up 10 this is what I’ve been waiting on like he he demanded the ball

You they had no choice but to throw him the ball I’m telling you the pressure is on the Spurs they are on the clock right now when it comes to building around these young man I mean on the clock is a little strong but but I’ll tell you this

He’s strong on the clock uh these numbers I mean he had six blocks tonight three of four from three these isn’t this is this is where the NBA is going yeah this is the future of the NBA yeah it’s not you not the 31 12 six and six

Tonight but that’s what I’m saying Bob can you imagine playing against that guy no I I can’t but look here’s the thing a guy right the greatest Prospect ever and he’s putting up these type of numbers forget the numbers he wants to win yes

He wants to win you can see it in his face you can see it in his body language after losses and you saw like how emotional he was after that win against that hom GD right yeah and it doesn’t matter what the competition is it at Allstar Weekend when he was

Participating in the skills Challenge and Anthony Edwards was having a little bit of fun only playing with his left hand afterwards he was sort of asked about it and he said well I know some of my teammates and very politely but he said I know some of my teammates

Are just here to have fun but winning is fun to me I tell you what and that matters right let’s not jump over that winning is a skill yeah especially I I’m not knocking I’m not going to make some big statement like all young players but

I love that he puts that first because just like winning is a habit so is losing you can get comfortable losing you can accept losing it seems like with all the losing at the end of the season he’s playing his best basketball this is a guy that people wondered could he

Weather it with his body type being a young guy they’re going to limit him he has somehow in the last few weeks found a way and something shifted something has shifted and now to see it translated away the Pacers are a playoff team looks at the they beat the Pacers and and CJ

McCullen said something to us when we was down there on allar weekend on NBA today he said about the crazy thing is about wmy is that he’s just learning how to play NBA basketball yeah that’s the scary part about it and we’re seeing that right now it’s a process I’m

Excited for the the whole NBA because we talked about LeBron last night and doing everything he’s done and some of the most important players are getting a little older yeah and W bana to have him I mean I’m this is a guy I’m telling you this is how you know the best players

When you take somebody that doesn’t know anything about basketball and you sit them next to at a game and they one minut in they go who who’s that guy right yeah that guy is the guy that’s why everybody can see it with L well we talk about superstars and I know that in

The past I have been a little bit stingy in who we label a superstar because I believe that Superstars they need to have the skills on the court absolutely they need to put butts and seats in the arena and also my grandma who knows nothing about basketball should know

Absolutely your name Transcendent Stars we need a new name for those Stars up there the LeBron James is of the world the Steph Curry’s of the world and I absolutely see Victor wanyama well on his way to becoming one of those Superstars that we need just a different

Word for uh another one is Kevin Durant so I want to turn our attention to the final game of four here on the ESPN family of network as the uh the the Suns take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in this one we’ve kind of been waiting Bob for the

Emergence of the Suns as a whole team um Bradley Beal has only played in 31 of 60 games for this team so far this year when you’re assessing where they’re at are they farther along are they behind where you thought they would be at this point what can they prove in this game

Against I think they’re behind and that may be my own issue I thought they’d be better I thought they’d be better than they were I just thought going into the season I thought they’d be labeled a contender I thought they were a homecourt team not that they can’t still

Get there Kevin he’s having a f look at those numbers I mean what else do you want him to do uh but okay just going to ignore that okay keep going they they uh they have to coales at some point they’ve had little fits and starts this

Whole year Beals in Beals out Booker I don’t know what their best basket I don’t know if they’ve had a stretch enough Malika to know and especially defensively the thing that worries me the most is with the team with three guys with Beal Durant and Booker that

Can finish and close in the half court what’s going on with them in the fourth quarter and last time checked they had the worst fourth quarter rating of any team in the league that doesn’t make any sense to me don’t don’t that brings up the word leadership Bob in the fourth

Quarter leading and closing but I’m not going to go there with here’s the thing right think about this the suns are 10 games above 500 and they’ve underachieved now Bradley bill right no Devon Booker tonight right am I right yeah and and Kevin Durant um Kevin

Durant has averaged 31 and a half points 10 games with okay Bradley his rhythm you know do do what he needs to do and help Kevin Durant as you said as we know KD is going to produce numbers that’s what KD do in my opinion he’s the best scorer to ever touched the basketball offensive wise like I don’t know anybody that could

Score as easy as Kevin Durant can y Bradley Bill all eyes on you you got SGA Jay will and Chad homere coming to the crib let’s see what you do tonight and last night you don’t lose the Houston at home you can’t you already did that right now you got an Oklahoma City

Thunder team coming in here who’s a very good team a better team than the Houston Rockets what can the Oklahoma City Thunder and by the way it’s an ankle for for Devin Booker what can the Oklahoma City Thunder do to make people fear them a little bit more in the postseason

Because around the league it seems like there’s respect for what they’re building but there’s not people want they get them in the first round they should they should I should more than I do they got the fifth best defense in the league that’s a sign of a good team

You can you don’t just get the fifth best defense and and without earning that without having the guys do it and that guy right there that guy he makes him dangerous I think that guy look at him I mean I wish you wish that just smooth on the court and you know what

He’s about to go drop and then he’s about to go drop 40 right and and look I love Chad I love what Sam prey is building down there in Oklahoma City but the reason why a lot of people don’t put a lot of respect on them or label them

As a true title Contender is because of their lack of depth in the interior like how long can we talk about chrisy Pingas but is Chad ready to bang with the likes of a yage sabonis no but but what I’m saying if Rudy and car Anthony to it’s a list a

Long list of bigs in the Western Conference that you got to have bodies to go against and I’m so excited to see them in the playoffs yeah I’m so cuz Shay Gil just can win a series he can he’s that good he has 44 30-point games a season

44 tip off between the Thunder and Suns is next Mark George Sano on the call the NB on ESPN is presented all season long foree Dou up cont Che B For M They For So For spee spe
