The quote should’ve ended right there. Bigs of any era wouldn’t be able to guard him unless we’re talking Kareem or Wilt.

> On Wembanyama’s game compared to Sampson’s era:
“Wembanyama’s a different player at a different time of basketball. He’s got great skills. He’s got great work ethic with what you can tell, but he don’t have to play the post, and if he did it’d be a different ball game. But there’s not big guys who can play against him. He’s playing against little people, so the game is totally different. We had to play against guys here like Terry Cummings, A.C. Green, Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar), Artis Gilmore, you got real men that will beat your a– in the post. So you can run up and down the court and try to beat them, or you have had to play the post and you had to match their game in the post because they wouldn’t let you shoot at them, right? The game has totally changed because in a way it evolves, so it’s a different era, different way to play, different structure.”

There are a few bigs who can give Vic trouble but Vic’s biggest weakness right now is against a smaller but tougher PF. Guys like JDubb, Jonathan Isaac, Jaden McDaniel. These guys used their strength to push Vic out of the paint and were ready to strip the ball when Vic put the ball down.
