This YouTube channel is pretty funny, and he is as impressed with Wemby as he is disgusted by the Heat defense.

The constant screaming gets old fast. And the analysis is very superficial. Basically, if you get scored on, you suck, no matter what.

I've seen this guy contradict himself several times depending on the outcome of a play. For example: he says drop coverage sucks; the next play Wemby blocks a shot by playing drop coverage and he's the next GOAT.

By the third time watching a video of his, I grew tired of it.

100% agree. I thought it was kind of cool the first time I watched a video of his, but after 3 or 4, I didn't like it much anymore. He doesn't need to swear all the time and say the player sucks if they make a mistake, and he can point out mistakes or good plays by not trashing the player/s. Anyway, not my channel to tell him how to run it. He can do whatever he wants.

His schtick does get old quick, and is mostly just entertainment value. I will say I enjoy the videos involving Nuggets or Lakers because he just blasts them for all of their "Nepo-hires" lol.

Problem is the guy says everything is a mistake. Sometimes they are not, a team can play perfect defence and still gets scored on, but he just yells and screams constantly about it as if it’s obvious. There are many times the defence had perfect contests and the shot just goes in, you cant block every shot but apparently that’s what he thinks.

Awful Coaching is the GOAT, there's no convincing me otherwise.

If you don’t take it seriously, it’s comedy gold.

I like the mid range fadeaway shot wemby does. He can make that a game winner go to move.

Reminds me somewhat of El Presidente, Don Ramon Fernandez

Man you must be pretty old to go back all that way. I remember my dad raving about Alaska and Johnny A., Duremdes, et al. I was 5. haha

Wemby 3.0 is really blowing my mind. It's like he went from a a boy to a man in year 21. He's matured exponentially.

The Shaolin experience was great mind/body/soul training.

The work with Dream is clear to see as he plays closer to the basket and is putting on a clinic with his footwork and lowering his base to receive the ball.

The thing I haven't heard said much is the work with Garnet. Maybe it was just one session, not sure. KG seems to have helped him unlock his voice and his emotions in a powerful way. His vocal outcries vs the Heat were very reminiscent of KG. Wemby is exemplifying the top trait of a great leader: make sure everyone knows how much you care. This component makes him even more dangerous and legendary.

It's only 5 games and we have a lot of work to integrate the roster and clean up some things on O and D, but, what I'm seeing now is closer to what I imagined peak Wemby to maybe become. His ceiling is unimaginable based on players we've seen thus far. Totally beyond video game level ridiculous stuff we are seeing now.

We suffered for years on SpursTalk waiting, hoping to be delivered to a semblance of our past glory. It's here now and I label it The Shaolin Redemption
Anybody have Morgan Freeman's phone number?

I was hoping he'd be able to maintain a number above Mark Eaton's but 4.8 BPG is probably the second-highest average, no?

4.8 is actually more impressive than what Eaton did because of the spacing

There’s a reasonable chance that Wemby considers himself an important figure in human history. No joke. He’s brilliant and able to seemingly do anything. He’s one of the tallest humans in existence and possibly the most talented person of this stature in recorded history - maybe human history. And he’s taking this thing that we’ve spent decades obsessing over who’s better than who and he might swoop in at age 23 and go “big deal” and then end all discussions about what’s even possible on a basketball court.

I’m not screwing around here either. This is actually very strange and historic stuff. It could go the other direction, obviously. But I don’t think Vic is content with just being LeBron. I think he wants to break the game so nobody will ever touch him.

And honestly I believe the only thing that will ever hold him back from the being the greatest...at least basketball wise...will be his body. At that height, we know that the body is a bit more delicate.

The way he moves protects him. He glides more than runs.

Also if he blows a knee out I think he’s still an all star because of how skilled he is and his height. There’s more resiliency here than people think. Hes also not one of the pituitary/thyroid cases like boban and mureson. I worry about someone diving into his legs. I’m not worried about much else.
