Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

On the other news.. Victor numer 4 on player jersey sales behind curry, luka and jalen.. and Spurs number 4 also behind lakers, knicks and GSW.. pretty cool for a small market

I used to love back in the day when a celeb or musician rocking a Spurs jersey was one of those low key "they know ball" kind of things. I'm thinking Rhianna/Danny Carey kind of vibes. I'm not one who gives two shits about celebs, but have always found someone in a Spurs jersey one of those "okay I see you" kind of things.

One of my favorite gifs to use on game days in group chats with friends.

She's a legit Spurs fan though, born in the Dallas area but with family from Monterrey, which is very much a sister city to San Antonio. I believe she has stated in interviews her family used to take road trips from Dallas to San Antonio to watch Spurs games and she's been a fan since she was 5.

He's also #4 on the latest KIA MVP Ladder.

You can’t pickup Zion on the perimeter. Give him TEN FEET of cushion, and dare him to shoot middies, or put the ball on the floor, and come to you.

Have no idea how this was so hard to understand…

He’s ‘07 LeBron in the Finals, without the passing, perpetually.

The consistent failure to space him was a major head scratcher.

Lack of proper game plan (coaching problem?) or Victor going rogue (mental focus problem?)

Zion actually didn’t know what to do when we put Keldon on him the second half, and had Wemby lurking and hunting blocks.
 
Didn't Lebron expose Zion with that cushion defense a couple years ago in an NBA Cup game? Does Wemby not watch basketball or something? Zion has an elite 1st step and amazing touch around the basket and not much else and yet Wemby guarded him like he shoots 3s. A generational defensive player literally just handed Zion free layups.

Wemby wanted to beat Zion at his own game and lost the matchup.
He was too prideful to sag off, he wanted Zion to challenge him.
 
Actually thought that Zion looked as good as I've seen him in a long time. What a waste his career has been, he's so good when he's locked in.

After what happened to Zion, Silver decided to take no chances and gave us Wemby.
Imagine his shot selection on a team with Lamelo. :st-lol:

I saw a trade proposal yesterday that had Lamelo coming to SA... that concept frightened me enough (and not in a good way)

same with Embiid, I saw Knicks Phily yesterday and damn this dude is a monster when healthy which rarely happens

Difference being Embiid tried to stay healthy, Zion never bothered.

not sure Embiid really bothered tbh he really needed to lose weight tbh to preserve his body and it does not seem he put his spirit to it

Embiid is just too big of a human to stay healthy.
And at some point getting too skinny with his build becomes unnatural. Playing underweight affects your energy, strength and you just feel bad.
I'd say his issue was using too much force on every play, he fucked his knees up by dunking too much.
