Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

man, i don't like the buddy buddy behaviour like Lebron did. but you can just shake hands and say a word to an opponent. Especially when he is about to show you respect like Flagg was going to do with Wemby before being basically almost ignored by him..... no need for that.

Tim and Manu were ultra competitive, never into this buddy buddy thing but they always showed respect to their opponents.

Being a competitor who respects your opponents and being a classless dick for no reason are two different things.

If anybody did that to wemby y’all will be looking for blood and whining about how disrespect it is.

What does he even do? Y'all don't know if Flagg said shit during the game, you can't even see shit in that except they walk by each other. Why do some of you obsess over these things like y'all actually know these players and what is going on there? Parasocial AF.

And no, I wouldn't care if anyone else did that and if you don't believe me then by all means go back to the olympics thread on the other sight then people lost their mind over Steph doing nite nite against Wemby.

what's the problem with Wemby ??

after behaving in a pathetic way toward Holmgren several times, now he does the same shit with Flagg ??

Can't he just shake the hands and show a little respect to his opponents when they are young stars like him ??

Lame. and somewhat disappointing honestly

And neither did you. You knew flags said shit? You know other players didn’t say shit?

We knew Garnett said vile things to Duncan but Duncan never did this to Garnett. Was Duncan buddy buddy with him? Was Duncan not a killer?

You going to start praising sochan being a competitor now for trolling the opponents?

And no, I’m not saying what wemby did was unforgivable, in fact I didn think it was anything, it’s about the hypocritical reactions.

How do you figure that? He never looked up at Wemby, either. They did a mini dap, which is the minimum required greeting.

Dear Narcissistic Vindictive Territorial humorless Commenters,

Wemby is more like Jordan than anyone since Kobe. While Kobe was basically the Talented Mr. Ripley version of Jordan—psychopathic levels of mimicry but almost as effective- It’ was like a psychopath imitating a psychopath. Wemby delivers his own natural, eclectic take on Jordan’s fire. Like Jordan, Wemby still has to grow into the team leader role Jordan mastered, and with a coach like Mitch, he has to.

Let’s be real, Pop became the true leader of the Spurs during the Duncan era because Tim wasn’t the vocal, take-charge type. Anyone who knows the team recognizes Pop’s four distinct phases: the assistant coach under a master, the “Littlefinger” chaos-as-a-ladder era, the Duncan-era clear head of the snake phase, and the Professor Pop/mad king era where he won’t give up the throne.

Looking at the Spurs right after the 2025 draft, the turnaround seemed inevitable based on talent alone. Wemby, Castle, and Harper looked ready to spark a run reminiscent of David Robinson’s rookie surge and the Twin Towers era with Duncan. But between the obsession with minutiae, stats, and the personal biases of those enamored with their own deep basketball knowledge, few actually believed it would happen.

Maybe Mitch is the Kind of bland Coach Wemby Needs for this to be his team. Maybe Mitch is some milk toast simulator coach version of Doug Collins, they Guy before the guy who takes all the Credit for winning.


Food For thought Commentors

Don't let me keep you from impressing yourselves and one another.

PS. We’ve all seen this kind of league collusion, where a player is held back by an institutional disregard for the rules. Think back to the Jordan Rules—it wasn’t just a strategic trapping or double-teaming in the post, it was one team assaulting a single player and being allowed to get away with it. Now it feels like the whole league is allowed to push Wemby around like a tackling sled in the NFL or sandwich him under the basket during an inbounds pass. It’s just more proof that Wemby is more like Jordan than anyone before, with his own “Wemby Rules,” essentially Jordan Rules 2.0, while online people keep putting out content like “so-and-so figured out how to guard Wemby.”

Yeah Right, "Figured out how to get away with assault"

Hopefully Mitch or Sweeny will figure out an easy solve for this before the NEXT guy who takes credit comes in an implement this element. Mitch seems to focus on his own blah blah blah offense than incorporating this.

People are looking for troubles where there are none, they slapped their hand, what do people want ? A french kiss.

I’m very critical of Wemby when he makes stupid comments like he is the best but here there is really nothing.
 
Wemby really stayed within the flow of the game and allowed Castle, Bryant and Vassell to shine. Part of it was being an offensive decoy to open up more space for everyone, but, Wemby is a superstar and becoming the face of the league AND is able to play within the flow of a game in support of his teammates at age 22. Not sure that Kobe and Shai ever fully got out of the way. Very Spursian and bodes well for the ceiling of this squad. If Minnesota and Denver are in the same bracket and we stay healthy, we could go far. Like LOB far. This season. Also, refraining from too much exuberance because Dallas is horrific defensively. But we might be putting it together a little bit.
 
The team is clearly loaded with offensive talent - as long as Wemby continues to bring DPOY defense nightly, the Spurs are cooking with gas. Who cares about stats besides games won. If the team has enough success, the accolades will come on their own.... All the way to FMVP.
 
If Carter Bryant can become a productive bench player this season that would be like found money between the couch seats. Loving his confidence lately, adds a new dimension to our weakest position on the roster.
