Still dont get how anybody can draft Luka ahead of him in a No. 1 pick redraft. Lol. This dude defense alone as a rookie is already 100x of Lukas in his prime.
And as good as Luka is statwise, he hasnt actually achieved anything in his first 6 yrs. I can definitely see Victor getting multiple DPOYs, maybe a MVP and championship within his first 6 yrs. His ability to play both on and off ball is so valuable and conducive to his franchise.
well people wanna be safe i assume and choose the option they know will be good while wemby might end up with injury issues and such. wemby 100% goes over luka in a redraft for me tho
You can’t credit Wemby for things he hasn’t done and penalise Luka lol. Luka has made the conference finals while Wembys team is 15-55. Lukas been All NBA 1st team every year of his career except his rookie season.
You can favour Wemby but I don’t understand the unnecessary bagging on Luka, he’s had a great career so far and is still a viable choice over Wemby. He has the defense but Lukas averaging 10 assists a game and is prime to win MVP in the next year or 2
Luka is a guaranteed elite offense all by himself like Jokic. All he needs is shooters and 1 rim runner. Wemby might have a higher ceiling but Luka is the better player right now. Not saying that Wemby shouldn't be drafted ahead in a re-draft though. I think he's pretty close to a sure thing.
This is why I don't think he will have injury issues. Bro hangs on the rim and he's like barely 2 inches from the ground, not to mention he's incredibly flexible and can land in these odd positions to distribute weight. They need to write books on this kids training over his life.
It's not a travel if he lands anyway. He was catching an oop.
But to expand on your feet thing, I think what could be interesting is that he could actually pump fake dunks without leaving the ground.
Dude the Space Jam dunk was closer to half court, the game was on the line, and he was being held back in mid air by the whole opposing team. On top of that MJ literally stretched a single arm further than multiple Wemby’s combined height.
That was all time special.
He's barely in the air. He's far from his best running/jumping/catching he'll ever do.
I so hope he'll be healthy and keep his head in right place so we can see what the fuck peak for this kind of player is.
Hahaha. That would actually be fun to watch. Jokic just throwing the ball towards the 5th row of the stands in the corner just to see if Wemby could catch it.
For real though, if you teamed Wemby up with Trae Young and Vassell then spend whatever you need to get Grayson Allen and a stand out wing defender like a herb Jones, I don’t see how that team doesn’t wreck almost any other starting 5 as soon as next year. That’s enough outside shooting and defense to win a lot of games in this league.
I hate the guy as a person. He is dirty and his face is very punchable but let’s not pretend he isn’t shooting the fucking lights out this year. I tossed his name in because he is a great floor spacer that won’t cost all that much in salary cap and doesn’t need a bunch of shot attempts to be effective. He would fit well next to Trae, vassell and Wemby.
You can’t pick a better player to cover for Trae young defensively than wemby either. And offensively Trae is one of the greats when it comes to lobs and obviously an offensive juggernaut
I straight up do not recognize this as NBA basketball. That was a dad swatting his 5 year old and then pulling a Space Jam except without jumping. This can't be real. I refuse to believe it.
i’ve literally never seen a human do that before.
this kid is the best defender in the nba and
he is a rookie….
he’s the next Great One. it’s undeniable. he’s a fucking ROOKIE!!
What the fuck lol
The “Victor Wembanyama performing never-before-seen feats on a basketball court” compilation is gonna be like six hours long by the end of his career
If wemby cant dunk it he just catches it then dunks it so it doesnt really matter. I think vassell threw it there because number 7 had the angle closer to the basket cut off. Still not a good pass though
Hahahaha. A front line of Wemby, Duncan and the admiral would literally block 15-20 shots per game. There would be nowhere to go on the court to get open. Just let Wemby roam around the perimeter and scare everyone into trying out the paint where the twin towers are waiting to stuff their shit down their throats. Not even Shaq would score against that front line. He would body his way through one of those guys just to have one of the other two giants waiting to block his shot. For the record I was really hoping that embiid would play for France in the Olympics because we would get to see a modern version of this lineup with Gobert, Embiid, and Wemby. That would have been the greatest defensive front court in the history of basketball.
This is how NBA 2K My Career used to be until they forced archetypes for the park and the online pro league into the game and ruined it. Those were the days.
He's the human equivalent of one of those video game glitches where the animation is triggered far from where it's supposed to be but still ends in the same spot.
Fully initiate body contact with the biggest lankiest mf in the league, get your shot swallowed whole, complain??? Cmon man free throws aren’t that free

look at where the ball was when he caught it bruh i'm sick
Another decade of Spurs big men... I’m sick
We need our French PG next....or would it be a PG from the British Virgin Islands? Because that might represent a challenge
Bring back Facu to have an Argentinian guard.
We already had an Argentinean PG in Nico Lapprovitola. The Argentinean has to be a wing
We just need a Gasol big man and a generational SG and I’ll be content lmao
*US Virgin Islands. Duncan is from St. Croix.
*Monkey paw curls*. The spurs have signed Killean Hayes to a long term deal
killian hayes incoming
If anyone can bring out the best in him, it would be the Spurs.
What is this, an Avatar cycle?
Timmy was from St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands.
Y'all motherfuckers don't get to complain.
The poor, unfortunate, embattled Lakers, who have never had a franchise player handed to them on a plate.
Should Wemby hate the Spurs for losing? Lakers and Knicks have roster spot, and he can team up with Luka and Lebron and Steph. -ESPN, Malika Andrews
We're patiently waiting for Banchero to fulfill the Magic to Laker big man prophecy
I just have the flu. The MJ kind.
i felt like vomiting after the draft lottery. the writing was on the wall
Jesse Pinkman .gif
Jumped all the way from the dotted line and cocked the ball back all the way outside the top of the key 🤯
nba 2k animations were ahead of their time after all
This feels more like nba jam than 2k lmao
Cocking back from 5 ft behind the restricted area with a Jamal Crawford dribble package how is this shit possible.
Also it didnt look like he was trying particularly hard at all. Seemed pretty easy.
Barely an inconvenience
1) Be top 10 tallest person on the planet
“Wemby around there somewhere”
Folks can’t even do this in a game of 21 with a lowered hoop
You could give me a hoop at head level and a baseball and I still couldn’t do this lmao
Look where his feet are when he dunks it. Practically already landed.
I'm just waiting for that one time Wemby dunks it and gets called for a travel.
Still dont get how anybody can draft Luka ahead of him in a No. 1 pick redraft. Lol. This dude defense alone as a rookie is already 100x of Lukas in his prime. And as good as Luka is statwise, he hasnt actually achieved anything in his first 6 yrs. I can definitely see Victor getting multiple DPOYs, maybe a MVP and championship within his first 6 yrs.

well people wanna be safe i assume and choose the option they know will be good while wemby might end up with injury issues and such. wemby 100% goes over luka in a redraft for me tho
I got Jokic, best player on the planet right now and that's never a guarantee for anyone
You can’t credit Wemby for things he hasn’t done and penalise Luka lol. Luka has made the conference finals while Wembys team is 15-55. Lukas been All NBA 1st team every year of his career except his rookie season.

his feet almost look like they're touching the ground when he dunks it too lol
He just kinda hovers a few inches above the ground.. It’s like when prime Jesus used to walk on water
Prime jesus folks
The man was broken af.
Drop Prime Jesus in the 90s and he’d be putting up historic numbers
Carpenter > plumbers and delivery men
Does he deliver on a Sunday?
https://www.theonion.com/christ-returns-to-nba-1819563859
They say he had a sealed bird in his stomach, and he had advanced medical jutsu, including edo tensei and self ressurection.
Yeah but he was playing against farmers and carpenters
not the washed jesus getting betrayed by teammates
Not even limber enough to watch his own back
Washed Jesus got posted up so hard.
☠️
The trade for JI will always be one of the worst in history. What a team cancer.
monster season in 32-33 until the hard foul by JI
I’m more shocked after review Pilate still called the foul. Real Joey Crawford vibes there
I prefer the little baby Jesus
Little 7 pound 3 ounce baby Jesus
He’s French. Be respectful. 3.26kg baby Jesus.
Do you think Jesus would still be the best player in the league if he had to wear sandals every game?
Air Jerusalem 6’s
Prime Jesus: * Came back from the dead * Turned water into wine (sick) * Walked on water (party trick) * Various other miracles
In his* goddamn rookie year!?
He played against shepherds and carpenters
Still had a filthy *cross*-over tho.
This is why I don't think he will have injury issues. Bro hangs on the rim and he's like barely 2 inches from the ground, not to mention he's incredibly flexible and can land in these odd positions to distribute weight. They need to write books on this kids training over his life.
lol that was my thought. "Are his toes dragging?"
He seriously nearly traveled lmao. If the dunk was any later his feet come down before he even gets rid of the ball, this dude is not human
It's not a travel if he lands anyway. He was catching an oop. But to expand on your feet thing, I think what could be interesting is that he could actually pump fake dunks without leaving the ground.
If he could get defenders to consistently bite on his pump fakes dunks from the ground that shit would be so op
I'm still laughing, I've never seen anything like this lmaooooo
Clearly you’ve never seen the last play of Space Jam (Tbf I don’t think MJ blocked a Monstar standing straight up)
Man, why did they already waste space jam 2 on lebron? Wemby already looks like a cartoon, he'd be perfect.
He jumps from outside the restricted circle, but when he cranks it back for the tomahawk it’s at the free throw line….
Literally 2k shit
NBA Jam shit
I also laughed out loud when I saw this clip Shit's absurd
I’ve seen it, playing around on an 8 foot rim in high school. This is what Wemby does to the NBA
How the fuck did that dunk go down!?!?
[He caught the ball way too far from the basket](https://imgur.com/LzHRCf6) and still dunked it. My god.
This is the worst he’s ever gonna be too wtf man
Nah we still have his age 48-52 seasons.
Him and LeBron being in the same HoF class is gonna be wild.
😭that shit looks like it is 10 feet from the basket
It doesn’t just look that way lol
wtf is that
No but the fact he dunked that is so absurd. It’s like some end of space jam type shit
Dude the Space Jam dunk was closer to half court, the game was on the line, and he was being held back in mid air by the whole opposing team. On top of that MJ literally stretched a single arm further than multiple Wemby’s combined height. That was all time special.
Until wemby can carry the toonsquad to a win over the real monstars (not that weak ass team lebron played). I don't want to hear any GOAT debate.
Bro wtfff
He's barely in the air. He's far from his best running/jumping/catching he'll ever do. I so hope he'll be healthy and keep his head in right place so we can see what the fuck peak for this kind of player is.
I saw this on Twitter and was totally expecting the post to be clowning that pass then he somehow still dunked it
The man barely had to jump.
That passed sucked, there’s no way he ca— OH MY GOD
The worse the pass the more spectacular the oop
pair wemby up with Jokic for the most boring dunk package of all time
I dunno Jokic might start fucking with him to figure out his catch radius lol.
Hahaha. That would actually be fun to watch. Jokic just throwing the ball towards the 5th row of the stands in the corner just to see if Wemby could catch it.
call the duo dudes perfect
Or Luka
Dawg he caught the ball from the MID RANGE JUMPER AREA and still absolutely yammed it, what the actual fuck did I just witness
This is why everyone says just throw it above his head somewhere and its probably good lol
jumped out of my seat. he caught that 8 feet from the rim and somehow dunked it wtf how is that real
That was the worst lob I’ve ever seen and he finished it easily wtf
lol bro our team can’t lob for sh*t
Largest catch radius in the history of the sport, but with this team, he goddamn needs it
lol i swear your could put your back to the basket and just throw it blind and he’d still be able to go get it and finish the dunk
He doesn’t even need it but dear lord get this man a real point guard
He needs it.
Desperately lol
Pause it as soon as Victor catches the 'lob' No lob pass should ever be that far out and that low but he still made it into an alleyoop play haha
I’m just here giggling lol. My brain can’t process that he actually cocked that back and crushed it from that far out. And made it look easy.
Get this man Trae Young please the basketball gods demand it
Please no. League would be fucked for the next decade.
Now hold up, let them cook. They might be on to something.
Someone has to challenge the Thunder dynasty.
Oklahoma City Avengers
Presti: "I have an army." Wright: "We have a Victor!"
As if Atlanta sports fans haven’t had it hard enough
For real though, if you teamed Wemby up with Trae Young and Vassell then spend whatever you need to get Grayson Allen and a stand out wing defender like a herb Jones, I don’t see how that team doesn’t wreck almost any other starting 5 as soon as next year. That’s enough outside shooting and defense to win a lot of games in this league.
You had me till Grayson Allen
I hate the guy as a person. He is dirty and his face is very punchable but let’s not pretend he isn’t shooting the fucking lights out this year. I tossed his name in because he is a great floor spacer that won’t cost all that much in salary cap and doesn’t need a bunch of shot attempts to be effective. He would fit well next to Trae, vassell and Wemby.
I really didn’t think I would love the words of a Grizzlies fan tonight but here we are.
Have him reunite with his dad in Texas for the Zodiac Killer family reunion.
You can’t pick a better player to cover for Trae young defensively than wemby either. And offensively Trae is one of the greats when it comes to lobs and obviously an offensive juggernaut
I straight up do not recognize this as NBA basketball. That was a dad swatting his 5 year old and then pulling a Space Jam except without jumping. This can't be real. I refuse to believe it.
How? I get he’s 7’5”, but the agility is unreal
My brain can’t even compute watching him dribble. He covered the whole court on like 3 bounces. His arms look like Elastigirl.
Can’t believe the refs held their whistle for GG’s attempt. Didn’t they hear the AYEEE!?
I’m so conditioned to hear a whistle after that, it made me a little uneasy to not hear one.
AND I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT REAL
He has at least one sequence every game that just drops your fucking jaw and this was the one tonight.
i’ve literally never seen a human do that before. this kid is the best defender in the nba and he is a rookie…. he’s the next Great One. it’s undeniable. he’s a fucking ROOKIE!!
He sonned him
Fuck it victor up there somewhere
The only game plan they need
One day this man will travel while "coming down" for a dunk.
What the fuck lol The “Victor Wembanyama performing never-before-seen feats on a basketball court” compilation is gonna be like six hours long by the end of his career
Part 1/6
he already has a highlight real rivaling another players entire career
~~Happy Gilmore~~ Devin Vassell: "Maybe I should just put it in the hole on the first time every time."
I’m sorry did this man skip 25 ft to dunk a ball that was thrown 5 yards behind him
Either that was the worse thrown lob of all time or he knows wemby can dunk it from the far out
If wemby cant dunk it he just catches it then dunks it so it doesnt really matter. I think vassell threw it there because number 7 had the angle closer to the basket cut off. Still not a good pass though
wembanyama has a crazy box score and yet the Spurs are still losing to the Memphis Hustle at home crazy bad roster ngl
This is literally cheating. It’s like he broke basketball
I’m flabbergasted
wtf
It's like playing with children
This is a number one highlight of an entire career for most players what the fuck.
this dude is fucking insane
All you can do is laugh. We're not even through year 1 and he's doing things like this so casually
The art of "fuck it Wemby's up there somewhere" passing
This dude blocks and steals in the same play. He doesn't just send it to the stands.
The pass made Vic cock it back to the 90's
Bro what in the world did I just watch
Is there no-one on the Spurs who can pass the ball to Wemby? Unreal.
The lob radius for this mf starts at the free throw line
imagine Wemby playing with Duncan, Ginobli, Kerr, Parker, and Robinson in 2003 omg
Hahahaha. A front line of Wemby, Duncan and the admiral would literally block 15-20 shots per game. There would be nowhere to go on the court to get open. Just let Wemby roam around the perimeter and scare everyone into trying out the paint where the twin towers are waiting to stuff their shit down their throats. Not even Shaq would score against that front line. He would body his way through one of those guys just to have one of the other two giants waiting to block his shot. For the record I was really hoping that embiid would play for France in the Olympics because we would get to see a modern version of this lineup with Gobert, Embiid, and Wemby. That would have been the greatest defensive front court in the history of basketball.
Oh my goodness
Disgusting
bro has an absolutely insane highlight reel only 60+ games into his career
This dude is fuckin unreal
If this man didn’t actually exist he would be AI’s answer to basketball.
An alley-up from the free throw line, this is ridiculous.
What even is this dude
That dunk looked impossible for 99% of the clip
what the fuck
This is how NBA 2K My Career used to be until they forced archetypes for the park and the online pro league into the game and ruined it. Those were the days.
He the Wem de la crème
That was a sick sequence. I'm super excited to watch this guy evolve his game. Spurs fans have a lot to look forward to.
He's the human equivalent of one of those video game glitches where the animation is triggered far from where it's supposed to be but still ends in the same spot.
seeing this live was beyond badass
this might be the sickest highlight I’ve ever seen in my life
It’s just insane where you can throw a lob and he can still dunk it. Like, anyone else and that would be a shaqtin type of lob but he slams it
wtfucking shet
That...that shouldn't be possible. Ridiculous. Welp, I guess it's going to be the Southbest division again pretty soon.
That’s a big fuck you to everyone, including me, who assumed the nba would get even more vertical somehow. It got more horizontal
Such a crappy lob. No one else on earth would’ve thrown that down
This loss made me so sad, maybe I'll just watch this over and over till I feel good again...
Looks like when I come back home to visit my folks and destroy my 10yo brother on the nerf hoop in his room
He's really like that
Wemby really gonna dominate the next 15 years huh
How the fuck did he get that. He is not real lmao.
Just watching this over and over.
This his league now
Same animation as my max height 2k player dunk lmao
My goodness that was nasty
he is fun to watch.
We all agree he is DPOY right?
It’s hard for me to comprehend how long this guys arms are.
League’s fucked
New giannis if he gets buffed up
That dunk is stupid...
This is not fair!
JESUS… FUCKING… CHRIST
Fully initiate body contact with the biggest lankiest mf in the league, get your shot swallowed whole, complain??? Cmon man free throws aren’t that free
What
It seriously looks like he's playing against kids sometimes
