The narrative today is that Wemby last night was 2007 Game 5 LeBron in Detroit, where he was announced as the best player in the league.... Sure, in '07 I knew that, but for the next 5 years AT LEAST, we were told Kobe was better smh

@Springco I see the comparison, but it misses a key point: Wemby's uniqueness isn't just in his skills but his potential to redefine the game. LeBron had to fight perceptions—Wemby might face different expectations. Can he navigate that?

@JobFairGiant I don't doubt any of Wemby's ceiling here, I was more alluding to how in '07 people did not emphatically say LeBron was the best player in the league at that point. Kobe had a huge push for a long time, Wemby, maybe gets a Jokic push for 1 yr or 2 tops now?
