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

 

[LeBowen]

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

Victor is going to be an action movie star too.

 

[spursparker9]

Action movie need to cameo him as a villain for the main character

One thing is for sure: If Wemby ever gets to play a role in a movie, he will be on a minutes restriction ...

probably about the same as Brad Pitt in the second deadpool

 

[cediskace]

at this point, he's at 24.2 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 2.9 bpg (league high), 3.3 apg with 57.4/36.2/83.4 percentages.

that's really very good, very efficient. and that doesnt' say the whole thing about his influence on the defensive end.

this percentages are really good to see.

 

[Shmurs]

his efficiency is surprising. Those are some tight numbers.

there’s some room to improve with his finishing around the rim too. He’s missed a surprising amount of layups this year. Increase that strength and turn those into dunks pls.

This is like when Lonnie had that crazy stupid hair and I was hoping he'd block a shot with it one day

 

[Seventyniner]

Happy learned how to putt!

(Victor learned how to get an unstoppable free throw line jumper at will)

League = fucked

When will this bullshit minutes leash end? It is getting beyond parody. It is been nearly a month since Wemby has been back from a mild calf strain..WTF? Are the medical staff-- afraid about their reputation and careers in case something bad happen to the franchise and the league's crown jewel-- taking it to the extremist lengths of precaution?

If this is the modus operandi going forward, it is pretty safe to say Wemby will hardly compete for any regular season accolades/awards and i think we will see him miss (or lose) multiple playoffs games on precautionary measures

I wish wemby gets traded to the organization that will let him play.

Well the medical staff was blessed with a whole new injury (knee hyper-extension) that allowed them to completely reset the timeline on lifting the minutes restriction.
