Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

Be patient, younglings. We’re second in the West.

On another note, it seems like everyone one is in a bit of a funk, not just us. None of the top six teams by record are better than 6-4 over the last 10 games. Maybe this is a bounce back from the interest and focus of the Cup tournament?
 
As far as being “important” to the league…he’s not particularly important if he’s being managed this way. Pulling him out for a week when he gets a hangnail removes him from the national conversation. Which keeps happening, we’re seeing it. He doesn’t get mentioned with the top talent when he’s not dressing. And he’s not dressing quite a bit. And he’s become marginalized to some degree on his own team, since we can win without him. So how is a guy like that “important”? The theory of Wemby isn’t as interesting anymore. We need actuals.
 
Unfortunately he's making a case for Sixth man of the Year with the minutes thing for not starting or finishing games somehow.

People are acting like half of those minutes restrictions and missed games are not Spurs being extremely cautious... I believe we are reaching a point where it is too much, I understand the big picture behind but aren't the Spurs overreacting ? We have this clip of Wemby doing a kick at the rim to unstuck balls and same day he plays 20 min and go to the bench for the remaining 3 min of a game we should have won.

Now if we win multiple rings with an healthy Victor in the future all of that will be forgotten but short term, it is frustrating for the fans and for Victor. One can see he is getting annoyed

"This way" being an over-zealous regard for the alien's health before his first ever Playoffs appearance, correct? Surely the "national conversation" will be well attuned to the Playoffs, where true legends are made? Or maybe January games or some "mentions" are more important than winning the chip?

:st-lol: "theory of Wemby" the dude just scored 30 points in 20 minutes, he's right there for you to see lol.
 
Look at a 36 mpg Victor...

30 ppg
4 apg
14 rpg
3,5 bpg

at 57/37/83

I mean that's what hopefully we will get come POs time... to get there if it means a bit of frustration during RS so be it

i'll take 30ppg 4 ast 20reb 5blk 3stl per game on whichever percentage.
 
so the guy with an hyperextended knee can do stupid stuff like that but cannot play more than 21 minutes? If Wemby plays an extra 5 minutes at the end of the game, we win it. All these stupid losses against bad teams are going to be costly at the end of the season and could mean losing home court advantage
 
One cool thing yesterday was to have Leon Marchand at the arena. I'm a big fan being a former amateur swimmer, dude is great and seems to have a great chemistry with Victor.
 
Hot take, but everyone who's in shape should be able to kick above their head level, let alone professional athletes.
It's just that Wemby is tall enough to reach the rim with his foot.

Flexibility and regular training (to be in shape) are two completely different things

You have to do some very specific stretching exercises (for a year or more) to pull off what Wemby did
