  1. Can someone do some research and find the last time the best player in the world, in his PRIME, got outplayed by a rookie at the same position.

  2. That 3-minute span was ridiculous. Y’all forgot to include Wemby’s block on Jokic in the clutch tho.

  3. All Wembi need to do is toughen his body and he's good to go. Definitely superstar in the making!!

  4. Down 20+ in the third, he brought them back and cut the lead to single digits with his 3 straight 3 pointer

  5. spurs 6-4 last 10 games… cant tell if theyre improving or opponents just dont take them seriously

  6. He has some great looking post moves already. Get this man into Hakeems gym!

  7. I'm fricken sold. Ill be tuning in to the Spurs next season. Never thought I'd see the day but they now have a loyal viewer outta me.

  8. He honestly deserves DPOY for what he has done this season. I really hope they consider the general impact on and off the floor, and think about the quality of players on teams, in that consideration.

    It is crazy how often Wemby comes in clutch defensively when the team needs stops. He might be tall, but his timing on blocks and some steals is insane….that isn't just easy to do, or every tall person would have 3-4 blocks a game.

  9. When he has the range like Steph, shot creation skills of a tall guy like KD, defensive quickness and shot blocking ability, and even passing ability…what a package that he brings to the game!

  10. "The San Antonio Spurs overcame a 17-point deficit (10:03 in Q4)"
    Yes they did, so why is this story all about Wemby instead of the whole team? He only had 2 points in the fourth quarter after all.

  11. Glad to see Jokic get cooked by a rookie!!!! Wemby is already proving the haters wrong! After Bron is gone, Wemby up next!
