I’m so glad he completed a full season with no injuries or nothing, hope the best for him and that he stays healthy
"At the end of the day I'm just a human being" – Wemby trying to convenience us he is human lol nice try… propaganda at it's finest.
My glorious wet bananas will be top 2 all time when it’s said and done
Vic got better emotional intelligence then most of y’all grown adults
Dirk had a 50 40 90 if I'm not mistaken.
Let me remind you everyone looks dumber in their non-native language.
He's probably smarter than it looks here.
I'm mesmerised by how confident he can be without ever seeming the least bit arrogant. He has the humility of knowing everything comes from hard work, but he knows he puts in that work he can be one of the best ever and isn't afraid to say it
GSG!
Bronny to the Spurs and James confirmed
So articulate for someone who taught himself English as a kid in pursuit of his basketball dreams.
I know everyone praises Vic for being awesome but we should also give huge flowers to his family and entire coaching staff. It might be his talent that got him here, but there's no way he would be this self-centered and wise beyond his years just by himself.
Great interview! Such an intelligent and focused human… Or is he? 😅😂
Great interview
Why does Paolo Banchero get no media attention compared to Wemby? Paolo is an all star on a playoff team at 21?
The head this kid has on his shoulders is unmatched. And at 20. Oh my…
this kid is gonna be special off his mentality alone.. he cant even fully express what hes thinking in english but im always blown away hearing him speak , at only 20 years old.. goat in the making
Standup guy Victor. Godspeed
I think you should develop to make the interview more like a conversation and less like a QnA
Kevin trying and failing to be discreet about the fact he is voting for Rudy 😂
Thank you Manu Ginobili for making a me spurs fan 🥰
Such a glazer
nice
"such a small basketball" insane
He's so mature beyond his age.
VICTOR'S IQ IS INSANELY HIGH!!!#1
Kevin O’Cheeseburger
“i think you’re the best overall defender in the nba right now” but also “im still debating between you and rudy” 😂
Kevin's got a crush 🤣
DPOY HANDS DOWN
Wise old soul and awesome talent
They was flirting so hard at 44:21 😂😂😂
Let's go Wemba!!! DPOY is yours!!!!!!!!!!! Get outta of here Rudy
wow great interview!! kudos!!
Wemby talking Wilt?! WoW!
wemby: if kevin durant and bill russell had a baby
His hands are wild
15:16 is so subtly funny sometimes. He is so respectful, but he be throughing shade on the low 😂😂😂
it's simply just outrageous that wemby has the physical traits that he has and then a MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL EDGE AS WELL. the man is LOCKED IN and the season is OVER
Can't wait to watch this!
when he said “you are” he just means that we really are all free in this universe. the world is what you make of it and Victor is acutely aware of that.
Fun interview Kevin. The league is in great hands with Wemby, Chet, Shai, Ant Edwards, Luka, Ja Morant(If he puts his off court issues in the past) Tatum and others. Bright future
he's must see TV, the same way MJ was must see.
