@pinkhoopsss And it’s not that gravity were they just getting in position for a rebound but he’s actually got 2-4 people genuinely guarding him

Wemby’s gravity when running to the rim is wayyy under discussed. Draws the FULL attention of two defenders almost every single time he touches the paint off-ball.

@aekes1k @hoopologyxx Got in foul trouble early so definitely had to relax his defense early

@hoopologyxx felt like an off night, but also he played against the BITW so is what it is

Wemby Defense Tape 4/4 vs DEN
~ 27 Points Allowed
~ Held Opponents to 13/26 FG (as primary def)
- 6 Stocks
- 40 Minutes
Thoughts on his defense?
*Not every clip included goes towards the Opp FG%, but I included all relevant clips of his defense from the game*

@Mostly_Biased Did you even watch the game bro. Jokic is great but a lot of his points came with Wemby switching on him and Jokic shooting an un guard-able shot with Wemby just barely missing it. It was more “wow how did he make that,” than “wow Wembys defense was bad”
English
Wemby talking about MVP when Jokic does this to him every time is beyond embarrassing. He should be happy he getting DPOY and shut up about MVP.

Nikola Jokic career averages vs. Wemby: 37.3 PPG 10.9 RPG 9.1 APG 1.4 BPG 1.1 SPG 55% FG 5-2 record.

@wakeupyoshi Probably something to do with not winning as many games. Okc started 24-1 and it doesn’t seem like any of the voters have taken another candidate seriously after that
English
@undercoverNBA Not really their fault the refs were acting crazy
English
@salinisalazini No way these people are actually fans of the Spurs lol. Fox as been great and an amazing team first player all year. He had a rough game and made some costly plays late but being this ungrateful just isn’t the Spurs way
English
@DaigMuse How is this what you came away with after this game. All I saw was the 2 greatest players in basketball duke it out in an absolute nail bitter
English
Wemby was never on the level of SGA, Jokic, or Luka.
Jokic just showed us that.
English
@HoodiGarland Not really Wembys fault the refs were being crazy. It’s not like he’s living at the line every game
English
@jedivsworld I’m convinced the people saying trade Fox are freakin ops bro

@SpursCulture I need a 500 Iq Mitch Johnson meme right about now

"I actually think it was a great game to be apart of for San Antonio, you want your young team in these situations leading into playoff, they probably haven't had enough close games, they've been blowing everybody out by 30 or 40... If im the coach i love this." - Dirk Nowitzki

"We couldn't withstand the Spurs thrust"
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Ty Lue on the Spurs: “We couldn’t withstand their thrust going to the hole… We couldn’t control their penetration.”

@LeBron__legacy Wow it’s almost like they play different positions and one handles the ball every play and the other one can beat okc
English
Luka literally clears Wemby in basically every category in basketball
This MVP award is a joke man.

Wemby got the whole league shaking 😭 this how fans used to bring bron into every conversation
𝔽𝕖𝕣𝕘𝕪 ⚡️@Fergycookedd
Higher Career high than Wemby in only half a season
English
@MIK3MCDANIEL Your whole point is their young guards like they don’t have prime De'Aaron Fox who is a seasoned vet and one of the best pgs in the league. He just took a back seat to get the young guards reps. And Wemby is still going to be a 7’5 unicorn
English
Spurs gonna struggle a lot in the post season ngl
amar$$$💍💍✌️@okcamars
Do we think Minny can beat the Spurs chat
English
I spent most of the season trying to be even-keeled about the Spurs, but to borrow the words of Victor Wembanyama, screw it!
I just don’t see a ceiling on this team with the way they’re playing right now.
This is a title winning team. They’re capable. Hell, they’re more than capable.
English
@McCainFuture @NBAonNBC He’s a 7’6 center that isn’t the primary ball handler. The Spurs have young guards that need touches to help the team grow. But he always shows up offensively when he’s needed and when all else fails the young guards can always fall back to him
English
@PureEnergy121 @NBAonNBC I’m not denying Wemby at all man. He’s sensational. But we can say the same about Jokic with Denver. He’s going to break the triple double record this season. Same could be said about Shai too. Wemby is very good it’s just when it comes to offensive numbers that’s where he lacks.
English
@McCainFuture @NBAonNBC I never said they weren’t having historic seasons and they both belong in the mvp convos. But acting like Wemby doesn’t belong when he’s taken his team from 13th seed to 2nd while beating the defending champs 4 times and having the best record against top teams is just nuts bro
English
@PureEnergy121 @NBAonNBC Shai is having a historic season as well as Jokic is too. Maybe widen the scope of your array and see that for yourself before making such a crazy take like that.
English
@McCainFuture @NBAonNBC Watch games not the box score and you’ll see he’s the most impactful player in the league
English
@PureEnergy121 @NBAonNBC He’s just not MVP worthy and stats show why.
