@Emma_DeJo @TheMattViera Out of curiosity, what type of real life job(s) would fall in the option 1 category?

@TheMattViera Anyone who chooses option 1 may always be alone. Time equals companionship; this is a concept that any normal person can understand, unless they are living alone and want more wealth, in which case option 1 is the only viable choice
English
Which one are you choosing:
1) $250,000 working 60+ hours per week with 1 week of PTO
or
2) $125,000 working 35 hours per week with ~3 months of PTO

@SpursReporter Did anyone ask Wemby about Artermis returning? Would have been nice to hear his thoughts on the mission.
English
Victor Wembanyama echoed your thoughts about how the Spurs should approach the playoffs to French media last night.
But he took it a step further.
"I think as a team without experience, we have to
approach these matches one after the other.
Not to give thoughts to the sweep, the 4-1 or whatever.
Obviously, the goal is to win everything, so it's to win the first series.
But before that, we have to win the first match."

@sousgod27 @SpursReporter I read it clearly, thanks for the insult. Nevertheless it’s the playoffs! This Spurs team shouldn’t care of who they are matched with. Focus on round one then round two then WC finals. Then the finals. The only incentive is to win the championship at the end!
English
I mean it’s like every night I see Wemby getting cooked by the actual stars
wini 🌩️@winigoat7
tears “best defender itl” can’t do anything against Flagg😭😭

Without saying Nikola Jokic, Carmelo Anthony, Alex English or David Thompson, name a Nugget…

@TheMattViera Or do you mean to say if you do retire in your 50s, you would then rent, drive a Toyota with a Cosco membership?
English
Honest question:
What's the secret to quitting your 9-5 in your 50s without buying rental properties, driving a Toyota, or having a Costco membership?
I'm open to suggestions
English
@SpursReporter What about the consideration of other games when you saw (which Nick didn't) Wemby twisted his ankle real bad (or getting knocked), but continued to go because he was able to.
English
Nick Wright thinks Wemby came back to play against the Sixers just long enough for the game to count towards the minimum.
English
For those unfamiliar, players MUST participate in at least 65 games to be eligible for end-of-season awards and honors.
Bad news: Wemby has only played 61 games this season.
Good news: Wembanyama can still qualify for postseason awards, but he will need to rely on technicalities in the NBA rulebook and approval from the league itself to hit the required 65-game minimum.
A game generally only counts toward that total if the player is on the court for at least 20 minutes. Right now, Wemby only has 61 games that meet that strict threshold.
The league COULD allow up to two exceptions for games when a player logs between 15 and 19 minutes. Because Wemby played 16 minutes on Monday before leaving with his rib contusion, he can use these exceptions to count two of his shorter games. If the NBA grants both, that bumps his total to 63.
Second, his appearance in the mid-season NBA Cup Final officially counts toward the threshold, bringing his total to 64 qualifying games.
To officially reach 65 games Wembanyama must play at least 20 minutes in either Friday's matchup against Dallas or Sunday's season finale against Denver.
English
@SpursReporter @getnickwright Matter of factly, the NBA rule in an overall sense is to encourage players to participate whilst they can, including the minimum minutes. Wemby tried to come back to play, and you know he would have continued to play if he was able to. He has done this in the past.
English
“Did Wemby go back in this game to make sure it counted for eligibility?…"
@getnickwright says this is the biggest story of the NBA's 65-game rule.
Full explanation of how the NBA will have grant some exceptions for Wemby to meet the 65 game minimum in my tweet below.

@Hero_OfThe_Day Would like to see the stats of how many plays Wemby is being challenged at the rim as compared to others. If the sample size is smaller, then the stats is skewed.
English
The media has LIED to you about the defense of Victor Wembanyama.
- Bottom 9% in 1-on-1 isolation defense
- Bottom 44% in post defense
- Confirmed help/block merchant based on this graphic
The on/off slop says what all of us have been saying, he’s a great system defender.
Basketball University@UofBasketball
Rim Defense Landscape... ➡️ More Rim FGA Defended ⬆️ Lower Opponent Rim FG% What stands out?
English
@SubThoughtz And the fact that past DPOYs ranked in bottom 15th percentile as a shot blocker is acceptable.
English
Why does the fact that Wemby's in the bottom 15th percentile as an isolation defender get ignored because of his rim protection when Rudy got killed for it for a decade? Just curious
Underdog NBA@UnderdogNBA
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.
English
@prmorphine Why stoop so low to compare someone that has played 6x less times in the League.
English
If defense is the primary reason Wemby is in the MVP conversation, why does Jokic average 40 head to head on him? 🤔
English
If you are a Spurs fan, this game has to be concerning
English
@JacobRTobey Sean was really good, watched him through the 90s. Pippen and him were my favourite SF that I followed during that time.
English
@MatejSportinfo It's not the best player of the year award. If you swap Wemby with the other players, will SAS do just as well?
English
I'm getting a lot of "watch the games" responses from Spurs fans. I was posting and talking about Wemby when he was 15 already and comparing him to Luka in terms of potential. I watch Wemby, Luka, SGA and Jokic. Wemby just isn't on their level yet. He'll get there, just not yet.
English
SGA has blocked Victor Wembanyama more this season than Wembanyama has blocked SGA
NBA Base@TheNBABase
An anonymous West coach says Wemby's 8-foot wingspan completely neutralizes SGA’s elite midrange game and foul baiting. "Victor can take away their biggest weapon. When games are close, Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] gets to his spot at the elbows and kills you with his midrange jumper, or gets you to foul him. Well, Victor has a f---ing eight-foot wingspan, and he can defend that jumper and the rim at the same time; he can be far enough away that Shai can't draw contact from him. Shai says he's got the answers to the test. Well, he's right, but Victor breaks all the rules." (Via @WindhorstESPN )
English
@TheLukaVerse Can't compare to last season when he didn't finish the season. If he did, and as strongly as he is now, he would be in the conversation as well, especially if Spurs could have got to 50 wins. Nevertheless can't compare to last season.

@nylaabell He stated his case rather than begged, just like you would if you went for a job or promotion. He just happens to be on a dais.
English
@realtalkejlt Embiid carried so much baggage with him to that point. Fairly or unfairly, he was an easy target. The fact that he played for a circus of an organisation unfortunately didn't help the clowning that followed.
English
He’s getting away with a lot of behavior other players got clowned for…not saying I have a problem with him doing it but just intrigued how different players get different responses for doing the same thing
Tom Orsborn@tom_orsborn
Wemby states his case for MVP:
English
@AssassinateHate And same goes to the people who think Wemby should just practice skyhooks all day.

@Matthew_Tynan The Admiral was legendary and way ahead of his time. He was the unicorn before anyone ever thought of that phrase.
English
Victor Wembanyama has 161 blocks this season.
Pretty good.
David Robinson had 320 during the 1990-91 season.
wtf
