[Reynolds] Wemby is the second rookie with a 40-20 game in the last 49 years. Shaq in 1993 is the other.

Makes sense because both are built entirely the same…
I’m a male but is it possible for wemby to have my babies?
So is he officially not a bust yet

Something something Bol Bol

if you combine wemby’s points and rebounds this game you would almost get the +/- of scoot Henderson against the heat
Just a slightly worse Bol Bol though. Nothing special.
And he’s only 20!
lets just play every game at home at this point lol
that late game 3 was absurdly clutch
He’s gonna be top 3 when alls said and done. San Antonio just can’t stop getting generational talents it’s annoying 😭 Barcelona of basketball
lets see bol bol drop 40
Aberrant
Where are all the “scoot will be roty” people from a few months ago
Does this make Shaq just a fat version of Bol Bol?
Hey maybe don’t call the generational prospect “overrated” next time. Just a tip.
What about the last 50 years?
The league is actually fucked. For real.
Yeah but Bol Bol had a 50-30
Last time a rookie dropped 40 and 20, Shaq was the man
46 and 21 in Detroit, lost the game
Happy for Wemby. Keep improving
This username is eating good tonight.
The Spurs are going to be competing with the Thunder and Nuggets for the West sooner than most people think. Probably not next year, but I’m convinced this dude is going to be an MVP level player.
Wemby was amazing tonight, I love watching this dude play basketball, even when he’s cooking my team
Gotdamn, 1993 was 49 years ago
San Antonio legends
Spurs are gonna win 50 games next year
Why the last 49 years? God i hate how weirdly specific some stats get. Anthony davis is the 3rd player since May 2nd 1971 on a day there was rain to record 36 pts 15 reb 2 blks and tie his shoes midgame
Shaq : 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Why 49 years?
Hopefully Wemby can have a 2nd yr jump like Shaq had also
But what about Bol Bol!?
We are four years from whack-a-Wemby as a legitimate defensive tactic on this guy
Bol Bol surely must have done this as well
Shawn Bradley legacy game
Is this secretly a Wilt Chamberlain stat?
Until the NBA starts allowing defense to actually be played with some handchecking and allow more physical contact i dont give it too much credibility to offensive stats. This season is just insane Embiid, KAT, Doncic, Jokic, etc.
Some NBA 2K lv stats
A week ago there was a thread commenting that Chet (34.2) had the highest game score for any rookie since Ant (37.2). Wemby just had a game score of 39.8… not sure who that is the highest game score since, but it’s someone from before either of them.
Bust
This feels like a good time to share [this](https://imgur.com/a/qyGpJct) absolutely ice cold take I read about a month into the season
