It would be crazy if, during some nothingburger game, he Shaolin kicks someone’s shot. Yes,I know it’s a kicked ball, but that’s not any different from blocking a shot out of bounds, and would create another level of intimidation.

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.

Pretty sure he is the only one on the planet that can do that karate kick at that ball height

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
