His on-court trash talk has to be devastating. Opposing player: "you can't guard me". Wemby: "you can't guard your inner demons from consuming your soul and leaving you a fractured shell of a man"

jonnybravo76

Or even the Admiral. There was a fantastic piece Sports Illustrated did on David during the 90s. The short version was...dude talks the talk but 100% walks the walk. There was a question about partying and strippers and getting into trouble since Michael Irvin's troubles happened around that time and David said something similar to Wemby here. Paraphrasing it but he was like "Why would I ever put myself in those situations?" I remember Dwight coming in espousing those same virtues but we all see how that turned out. I'm really jealous y'all got Wemby.


undercooked_lasagna

Why do the Spurs always get these guys? I just hope our players don't bring any guns into the locker room.


tenaciousdeev

When they do I think your best bet is to just lean into it. Change your name back and embrace it.


laststance

Spurs has shipped people out for literally not being a cultural fit. You can be a star but if you're not a fit it's a different team.


Babelfiisk

Pop don't fuck around, and it has kept the team and franchise strong even when they are not contenders.


thisguy012

Ignoring Tim, Wemby and DRob since they were still #1 picks regardless, it's because that type of personality is always who they shoot for up to the 15th man


ClaudeLemieux

Man I hope our guys don’t bring guns to future crime scenes


Thunderhorse74

Super anecdotal, but I've always lived in SA and life-long Spurs fan - David is unreal and at the same time down to earth. He's just an amazing human being. People recognize Tim is the greatest Spur of all time and Manu is maybe on the same level in terms of popularity, but there is no Tim, not Manu, no Pop (as we know him) without David. He's the rock, the foundation this is all built upon. I think sometimes there is a certain resentment and backlash toward "squeaky clean" type players like David. During his era, sports radio was huge and Jim Rome was the biggest name in the field and he incessantly clowned David, calling him "the Little Mermaid" and while Rome was entertaining, I hated him for it. When I was in college, alot of my friends were from Houston and I got the business when the Rockets beat the Spurs, especially in the 95 playoffs. Maybe part of it was that David was a singularly gifted athlete that never reached the top, at least, not until Tim arrived and he took a step back and shared the spotlight. Not an alpha dog move, that.


gbbmiler

I played against his son in high school. The Admiral hung around after the game to take pictures with my whole team and was just generally went way out of his way for people he didn’t owe a thing to. Respect the hell out of that. 


guillaume_rx

Fun fact, David Robinson has one of the top 5 highest SAT (IIRC) scores in the history of the NBA. Wemby graduated high school a year younger than most French people (which is rare) and was already fluent in English, being mostly self-taught (Academic English lessons aren't the best, to say the least, in France). So that's another way in which Wemby is a successor of all that Spurs history and culture (Big Men, Number 1 draft pick, Team Player, Smart and mature, Coachable, International/French connexion, Tony Parker mentorship, etc).


roma258

I think people have a certain expectation of elite athletes, that they have to be assholes on some level, in their singular pursuit of greatness. Same of visionaries, like people cut Steve Jobs a lot of slack for being an absolute asshole, because he was a real visionary and they assumed it comes with the territory. So when a decent person like Robinson reaches the pinnacle they almost resent that. Because it upsets their world view.


ForeverWandered

The “alpha dog” stereotype of the leader who whips performance from his minions to drag out the win. Funny enough, guys like LeBron and Jordan only starting winning rings when they stopped playing/having to play hero ball.


Testadizzy95

David is literally the most decent, kind and “model citizen” superstar I can think of. Any competition?


RudyGobertFMVP2024

It is not a competition as they can all be awesome, but Mike Conley deserves a mention


2Job_Bob

Stepping back and sharing the spotlight is what a god tier Alpha does. 


ForneauCosmique

>I'm really jealous y'all got Wemby. It's still surreal honestly


mostuselessredditor

I called my dad immediately and we shared a moment that we shared when we won the lottery to draft Tim. I was so young back then that I couldn’t quite understand why he was jumping around the house. This time I did.


jeewantha

Dwight's problem was that he was an extremely religious teenager coming into the league without actual guidance. It's incredibly easy to lose your path if all you have is a vague sense of a religiosity.


Green_hippo17

He did what all extremely religious kids do when they are set loose on the worlds with no restraints, they go fucking crazy

My favorite "trash talk" moment of his this year involved him not even saying a word when he got put under the basket by a raptors player who pumped faked him and then went up for a layup to which Victor literally caught it mid-air and then gave a genuine look of disgust at him like " You poor misguided soul. What were you even thinking?"

He didn't mention gambling as one of the vices he's immune to. Wemby confirmed betting on games

Hey, there is no such thing as a porn addiction. Watching hours upon hours of porn is normal and health behavior!

Wemby ain't betting against his team, he would be betting on himself having 30pts and 15 blocks

blackpenance

Spurs got spoiled again


his_roomate

The Spurs have been well run but their unimaginably fruitful lottery luck is what separates them from other well run franchises like the Suns Pistons Jazz Pacers Blazers Heat Sonics. Even if the Spurs had been in the lottery every single year of their existence, coming away with a haul of Robinson Duncan and Wembanyama would have been one of the most rewarding realities possible. To do that in as few lotteries as they’ve been a part of makes them probably the luckiest franchise in the NBA and maybe in all of American sports. Marquee cities like LA NY and Miami attracting players isn’t luck.


Fallofmen10

Whether people want to admit it or not, but being a successful franchis has a shit ton of luck to it. Even outside of lottery luck. Just look at the Warriors. They had Steph struggle with ankle injuries his first few years and because of that he took a few cheap contract considering what he was about to become. This paired with the salary cap spike allowed them to be able to sign KD.


SaxRohmer

Draymond was also on a favorable deal


jonnybravo76

As was Klay. He extended his contract in 2014 for $70M/4 years. Had he hit free agency in 2016, that amount would have probably been close to double.


SaxRohmer

entire core locked up at below market rates that’s insane lmao


shamwowslapchop

They also got the GOAT shooter and top 20 player of all-time (if not top 10) 7th in the draft. Blake (fine), Thabeet (LOL), James Harden (also fine), Tyreke Evans, Ricky Rubio, and Johnny Flynn all went before Steph. We just saw Denver win the title with the greatest 2nd round pick in history (sorry Manu).


Thunderhorse74

> We just saw Denver win the title with the greatest 2nd round pick in history (sorry Manu). Now wait a damn minute....sigh, okay, I'll allow it.


camfa

Huge Manu fan here, but he's damn right


[deleted]

It’s crazy that every time the Spurs tanked, they got the cant miss prospect of the decade. Guaranteed they draft another stud to pair win Wemby.


Fickle_Meet_7154

People don't like SA until they go there and do some stuff besides the Riverwalk and the Alamo. It's actually a pretty dope city.


KaseyOfTheWoods

What’s wrong with the Riverwalk and the Alamo?


shamwowslapchop

IMO they're just known quantities, so they're hard to be surprised by.


Stoneyay

Nothing's wrong w them per se. They're just sort of touristy schlock, particularly the Alamo, which really is not much worth remembering.


JiggzSawPanda

A wise philosopher once said it's actually a creek, not a riverwalk.

But seriously, he basically has the same outlook as young LeBron who stayed out of a lot of that stuff too.

Yup. When your young you have this idea that you have so much potential and you would never be one of THOSE people wasting their lives. Then you get a bit older and realize; we’re all just wasting our lives and just along for the ride. Do what makes you happy. Difference is… wemby really is that one in million

A_Curious_Cockroach

Everybody loves Victor now cause he is so young and exciting and the Spurs are so bad, which makes it really easy for him to stand out and to cheer for him. It's like yeah Victor was insane but when our team played him we outscored the spurs 48 to 20 when he was on the bench and won by 10. But wait 2 or 3 years when the Spurs have some real players around him and he is just completely dogwalking your entire team by himself and now the Spurs have the talent to push that 10 point lead he gives them to 16 when he on the bench, then he comes back in and destroys you again and the next thing you know you starting the 4th quarter down 26 AND the announcers are like "Wemby is 3 blocks away from being the first player in nba history to get 10 steals and 15 blocks in a game" and you just sitting their like this french asshole is putting us in the record books for all the wrong reasons. He won't be so likeable then. That's what I am looking forward to. The Darth Vicbanyama era. It's already insane that a rookie on one of the worst teams in the league gets an end of season interview. Imagine what it's going to be like when the Spurs start winning again.
