Everything they told you about Victor Wembanyama was WRONG

- In this video, I explore the phenomenon that is Victor Wembanyama. I look at the current scouting report on him and highlight his tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses.
"We're fortunate that Allen Iverson isn't 6'5"" - Kobe
You know what's scarier than a 6'5" Allen Iverson? A 7'4" Kobe Bryant.
His shooting form also reminds Kobe... 😔
Question is, does he have the Mamba Mentality. It’s not just about the physical.
He’s a better passer than Kobe ever was already. Dude’s passing is more akin to Lebron. And honestly his smoothness on offense is more like TMac. His defensive recovery is akin to Hakeem or Robinson. Except he’s 7’4”.
@@SiriusV21Dude has Tim Duncan coming around. Everyone keeps saying “Mamba mentality.” But he’d be better off being like Duncan, team first, does what it takes to win and a stone cold killer when needed. There’s a reason Duncan won 71% of the games he was in and never missed the playoffs.
@@dvs620 Can’t go wrong with either Duncan or Kobe’s mentality. Just don’t want him to have AD’s mentality. Someone who KD has called a cheat code as far as skill goes. But will always have the mentality of a number 2 player.
What people fail to realise is that Wemby has already been playing against adults pro for 2-3 years in France. Just like Luckas did before joining the NBA. They are no rookies with only experience of playing against other teenagers.
Who is Luckas?
@@Tcrror😂😂
Lukcy Donka, right?
@@Tcrror
Luckas Modric?
Highlights the valuable experience both players bring to the table.
I was at the game Friday night for my bday. I can describe seeing Victor play in person in one word: SURREAL.
Happy birthday! 😎
Belated Happy Birthday man!
Basketball God in the making, he truly defies logic!
Definitely!
I've followed NBA for over 40yrs, meaning I saw Jordan when he was drafted. Let me tell you all, I've never seen a rookie's game so well polished like Victor's. Lebron was ready to go when he was drafted but he wasn't this polished. Victor's polished game as a rookie is what NBA stars transform into in 3-5yrs, as seen with Giannis, Jokic, Tatum, Luka, e.t.c., not day one as a rookie!
The last rookie this good was Tim Duncan.
Funny thing is I don’t think he is that polished at all. There’s clearly a lot for him to refine and tighten up - that’s what’s scary!
wait till you see cooper flagg

@@TpolTimehe just gotta get some weight
I‘m about 5‘8 (173cm) and regularly balling with a friend of mine who is 6‘7 (200cm). These nba mf finna feel how it’s like 😂
Best comment here 💀😂
Lmao. 😂
Being 19, he could actually grow taller...
Fact.
I really like the ending of this one. Lowkey gave me chills 🥶
Man that was good.
It’s a reference to Thanos btw. It’s not biblical.
@@GOATiology I didn't know that, thank you very much for your information.
@@GOATiology it was a nice and funny touch, if he does keep it that stupidly nonsensical way, this part of ur video might just become a huge meme at one point lmao
"To Victor that basically means his defender has chosen death by posterization." 😂
Lmao. 😂
Here's a theory
People will abosulutely love Wemby because in some wicked way he represents us. He shows other NBA players how to be just regular. The way so many felt at some point in their life 'I could ball, but there's always going to be someone just bigger, someone you cannot simply outmatch by hard work' is now becoming real for the other NBA players. And it feels refreshing to see this justice served. I already love this kid
True, so proud to be French like him ! My little brother is playing Basketball since he's 7 ( he's 17 now ), he was loosing drive to continue playing the game then he discovered Victor and now he's pumped up again ! God bless Victor, may he has a healthy career and inspire other like my brother to play Basketball ! 🏀❤
He is destiny showing the NBA that there is always a bigger fish
Same I'm enjoying this guy, I just really hope he gets no injuries
the amount of bullshit you posted here is simply insane. In what way he represents us? height? the overpowered abilities come with his height? you're 100% incomprehensible and i hope you can take a look at what you posted again lol. The only guy who can relate to us may be steph curry. He was small to other NBA players, he cannot dunk as hard as LBJ but he simply shoot 3s to change how the entire NBA used to run, all by his hardwork. Now that's what we called relatable, not your monster height wemby shit that's just born OP. Saying Wemby represents us is just like saying Broly the legendary supersaiyan represents us human.
Maybe there should be leagues based on height, just like boxing with weight.
Wemby is the first NBA player to have an extended highlight reel after two preseason games. Plus it didn't include his most extraordinary defensive play.
He was covering his man who had the ball in the vicinity of a midrange near the foul line or thereabouts. The guy tossed the ball inside to his teammate who was in the key above the dotted line. Wemby turned and stretched his body practically kneeling on the floor and disrupted the low post man who was trying to pass to a player on the wing. Wemby swatted the ball just enough that his team mate was able to make the steal of the errant pass. Wemby took off and in the end dunked on a fast break. IOW, Wemby guarded two different players at two different levels of the court. The stretch move on one knee has been sent to US Patent Office for review.
I saw that play, I think Wemby’s stretch enabled him to deflect a ball that was 9 feet away from the actual spot he was in!!
Surreal!!
Wow, that sounds absolutely incredible! Wemby's skills are on another level, covering both the midrange and low post with such finesse. That defensive play you described is a game-changer, and the fact that it led to a fast break dunk is just amazing.
Averaging 20 pts already in his rookie season is unbelievable!
It's preseason, but i bet he'll average at least 20 in regular season this upcoming season
I see 25-28pts, given that he's only averaging less than 25mins in the preseason, something you guys are missing. When he hits 35mins season average, even 30pts is not a stretch. Dude can also score from all positions, something only KD does well in the league.
with 30 minutes of play per game in the regular season, given his skills and his dimensions 7'4 and 8' wingspan... 20ppg no problem for him 👍
@@akendon7260 Wow I didn’t realize the minutes were not that high. I guess, I must have underestimated him. Yeah If he gets 30 or 35 minutes, he will be averaging more than 25 pts probably this season which will break the record.
@@akendon7260he cannot get that much minutes to prevent him hurt
The only thing that could prevent him from achieving greatness is injury, which will always be a concern for someone that tall.
Let's hope the best for him.
Victor "The Cheat Code" Wembenyama
Lmao. Haha!
"My god, what am I even watching here" was my thoughts exactly
Do we have same minds? 😂
As a Spurs fan I can't wait for the next game 😂😂
Too excited. 😂
Wemby's already the most complete player in the game next to Kawhi & might be the easiest player to build around in the NBA. Spurs were able to run (C)Bassey, (PF)Sochan and (PG)Jones with him, none able to shoot 3's, all because Wemby can space the floor himself. He gives the Spurs lineup & roster flexibility. Roster construction isn't easy, even guys like Jokic can be tough to build around because he doesn't play defense but Wemby does it all. It's like Wemby frees up 1-2 roster spots that are normally reserved for role players of certain skill sets, Spurs will be able to do whatever they want with the team.
Kahwi was a nobody who was just good at defense until the spurs drafted him.
Kahwi worked his butt off during the 2012 lockout to develop a jumpshot, he wasn't hyped like Wemby
@@sp123technically Pacers Drafted Kawhi we traded George Hill for Kawhi on draft night
"already the most complete played in the game" LOL. He's good, yes, but come on.
Face of the NBA, you reaching now.
I couldn't agree more with your assessment.
If he stays healthy, this kid could really become the goat. Damn I’m 20 and this mf is younger than me, it’s just ridiculous to imagine.
I mean he is 19 and one of the tallest people on earth, while still being very athletic for his size, and not only doing big man stuff but also shooting 3s and having great steals. This guy has the package,now imagine what his game looks like as a guy who is 10 years into the league and completely perfected his craft? It’s just scary
His combination of height, athleticism, and skill set is truly remarkable.
Quality video. Very well put together.
Thanks Raff!
So long as he doesn't follow literally every other 7'4"+ player ever, he should be pretty good.
Hint: They all break apart after a short while.
based on his movement alone im not sure if that would be a problem
@@jaytee7702 I'm basing it more on it happening to EVERY player that looked like him.
Yes, they might not have had his agility (Ralph Sampson is the one that gets closest), but they all eventually broke like china. Including the Chinese guy.
Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Where are the haters saying he is too skinny for the NBA ?
Haters gonna hate.
He isn't 7'3,5, Zach edey is 7'3,5 barefoot and Victor is taller than him.
He is at least 7'6 with shoes
@@mediamannaman and Kevin Durant all these years told that he was 6'9, but after years he told that his true height is 7 foot and he was lying all this time because he wouldn't want to play as a power forward
@@SuperMario-zt7fl kd is 6'10.5 barefoot, everyone was remeasured without shoes
Plus his wingspan is about 8 feet.
Thanks for the info.
insane. This guy is a top all time type player.
💯
In case someone wondering why is Sochan pronounced as Sohan, the reason is, it's actually a Polish last name
Great information.
We’re about to see the first ROTY and MVP at the same time
Hmm. 🫣
Love the commentary 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Spurs nation is back
I guess.
Subscribed, keep up the fire videos 🙌🏾
Will do. Thanks!
Nice video. Very good in fact. A few pointers young one:
1. It’s So-han, not So-shan.
2. Reduce vocal fry
3. Modulate your voice to sound more like Thanos
Thanks for the tips!
Yoo the biblical part of the last part of video got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was Thanos. It’s telling how many folks think it’s biblical, considering Thanos is a genocidal tyrant.
Looool. 😂
FYI: Bol Bol has the same play style as giant. Just needs more play time. Don’t act like they’re no other players that play like this. Been player’s out there.
Thanks for the info, Mike. Sorry for the late reply.
The hype is real. Congrats to San Antonio. Their drought is finally over. Phil Jackson had the right idea when he took the first draft pick for Knicks from France. Unfortunately, his pick never lived up to expectations. Jokic, Luka, Giannis, VW are living up to those expectations.
San Antonio has worked incredibly hard, and it's fantastic to see their efforts paying off.
Omgomgomgomg I can't wait
Don't panic it's the french touch
His mom is white from France but his dad is originally from the Congo so relax
@@patrickindiigo1076 origanily from Congo yes but why don't you say this when its come ton lebron or kd for instead? This is non sense that this is always about European team that we ear that and never for Brazil, US, Canada, Jamaica ...
stop being racist like that men !
As a French, its kind of disrespectful to only mention origines of black athletes only when they represent European countries (you can't imagine how much bad the "Africa won the World Cup" did to France politically while we should just been pleased by overall victory).
If you want to to resume ppl by their origine its your problem but don't export this in France please, we allready have enough pb regarding those kind of things.
Wemby is 100% French such as Mbappé, Antoine Dupont, Karabatic, ngapeth, or Léon marchand (all French and all of them are the best athletes in the world in their own discipline, don't be jealous bro)
@@TheRodo92 Yeah i saw that same thing in the UK He is French but also Congolese there’s nothing wrong with that but I get what you’re saying😂
@@illumantix3008 actually he is not Congolese, nor is his father they both are French and don't have double nationality.
In some contries saying this kind of thing might not cause any problem, and I wish it was the case here... but it's not.
You are not helping with or domestic problems by saying that, that's all.
Lol.
Dude moves like Kobe
Hmmm?
Rejoice, for even in death you have become children of Wembanyama😂😂
W commentary
Jeremy so shan 😂
Lol. 😂
Thats 7.35 without shoes so he is basically 7.5 with shoes.
I guess.
Thin but quick and strong. Victor is 'the mantis ' !
Agree!
A quick tall ball handling scoring big in an era of smaller bigs, it's gonna be a problem
That ending sounded like something from a souls game 😂
Hahaha!
Seeing Victor with Reggie miller who is 6,7 back to back.. At least I can say he is about a foot taller than Reggie. I guess he is 7,6 a very good estimate.
I'd say he's about a foot taller than Reggie, so I'm estimating he's around 7'6".
That outgoing passage needs to be written down in time stamped in the history books. Especially if he does become a Hall of Fame top 5 player of all time.
Facts
Facts.
How poetic, good channel.
Thank you!
What did they tell us that was wrong? Hes crazy good at basketball and super tall thats all i ever heard. How is it wrong ?
People were calling him a bust despite not playing an official NBA game yet
Who was calling him a bust ? Lol people without eyes or brains
They mentioned that he's crazy good at basketball and super tall, which is accurate.
Victor "Demegod" "player 99" "alien" Wembanyama
What. 😂
The spurs really knows well when to tank hard.. 😂
Well prepared. 😂
Awesome video
Thanks!
The quote at the end sounded like a prophecy.
Hahahaha!
If Victor start to pass like Jokic, I'm done
What people dont realise is people they say 6'11 7 foot really 6'8 with short wing span and wemby is a true 7'3 with a 75 inch wingspan
His wingspan is more like 95 inch than 75.
It's all about those details that often get overlooked. Thanks for pointing that out!
May he be injury free.
Let's hope. 🙏
He’s 7”3😮 and moves like that!!!!!! Y’all in trouble
Dangerous!
I'm curious to know your source for saying the world has 8 billion, 45 million people.

I think victor got the potential to achieve goat status
We'll see! 👀
Wembanyama is a SUPER-SIZED version of PENNY HARDAWAY 100%
Haha! Lmao.
Historic szn is only 10 days away
Only 10 days away and the anticipation is real. Sorry for the late reply.
When you create a character in 2K24
Lmao 😂
Osman plays for the spurs ? Damn thats lowkey a good pic up
Agree.
good video!! tks
Thanks Andrew!
People thinking Wemby wouldn’t have easily adjusted to the nba are just as brain dead as people who thought Luka wouldn’t. This guy has been playing against grown men in France as a teen. Do you think Europeans aren’t tryna show up a young prospect? That’s literally what every older player in every sport tries to do against a young promising prospect. In all honesty he’s probably already ahead of most people in his class. And the big difference is the culture is raised in, the spurs were probably the actual perfect place for him to go to, I really don’t see any other coach, or team at the time having been able to make him more comfortable than the spurs. There’s a lot of moving pieces for a player to get comfortable and do well, and most of them have aligned themselves for victor.
Plus, wembamyama is still like 250lbs meaning that even if it’s distributed around his body, he’ll still out muscle people at least 20 lbs lighter than him. The only players that I see giving him any difficulty are LeBron, Giannis, jokic and any other 6’8”+ player that is 240lbs+ which isn’t a lot of players. Most players are 6’6” and 200lbs. There’s a high chance the only thing that’ll stop victor is his only body rather than any team.
I mean first off, victor already seems way more humble and mature tHan most of his peers or other player in their first year, so I really do think there’s only his body to blame for stopping him. Well I guess if there’s a zaza type player who so happens to put their feet underneath you when you land from a jump shot. But hopefully there’s no longer petty ass players that legit wanna injury players for no reason.
I totally agree with you on his attitude. Being humble and mature goes a long way, especially in the NBA where there's so much pressure. Hopefully, he stays injury-free and doesn't have to deal with any Zaza-like incidents. It's always a shame when petty stuff like that happens. Anyway, I'm excited to see how Wembyama's career unfolds in the NBA!
Once Wembanyama gains MUSCLE WEIGHT and LEARN DEFENSE + FOOTWORK from OLAJUWON > its game over for everybody!
Perfect for sure. 💯
Since Wemby is here now, all I want to say is GG NBA.
Lmao. 😂
💪🏾💪🏾
💖
I wonder how he would look as a volleyball player.
Lmao. 😂
The funny thing is that he could possibly still grow, that mf is only 19, like Giannis when he was on his bull for the first time in his life his body got enough nutrients to grow even at 20 by 6cm!! That’s about 2 and a half inches.
Hey, that's a hilarious observation! 😂
This guy is literally Giannis but with all the skills, NBA be scared.
The NBA is in for a treat if there's a player out there embodying that level of talent.
Finally, the future of the NBA with this new kid Victor I am so glad we don’t need to talk about Zion, & ja Morant anymore…… garbage 🗑️
Lol. Victor can be the future of NBA, but let's never forget Zion, Ja and Morant.
Its pronounced So Han 😭😂
My mistake, got it.
Awesome video
Thanks!
He is greatest SF - not Center or Power forward.
Thanks for your thoughts, Kevin!
Yeap, once he gets rollin', they gonna hafta hort'im! Let's see how long b4 his dominance gets old... Or will it ever?
I'm curious to see how this person's dominance plays out too.
i been saying for 5 years now
that wembanyama is going to be an all time great nba legend hof
potnentially a top 10 all time player in the making
and anyone ever responds with is a bunch of hate and saying how all it takes is 1 bad injury etc etc
no shit that’s for every player ever
u could have said that about kareem can say that about any1
wemby has more talent than kareem CANT SAY THAT ABOUT ANY1
It's clear you've been passionately advocating for Wembanyama's potential greatness in the NBA for quite some time now.
Wemby should take judo. Learn better balance so he does fall as often and learn to fall without getting hurt when he does fall. Stay healthy
Wemby played soccer as a goalkeeper when he was young so he learned already how to fall properly. And that's why his eyes hands coordination is very good.
I appreciate your concern for Wemby's well-being.
He's 7'5 at the very least
Too tall.
Naw Frfr that’s y I’m so mad bol bol not taken shit serious
Jeremy Sochan, pronounced as SO-HAN, not So-shan.. Just fyi
Thanks for the info.
not just hes high hes wing a has a high IQ.
💯
I loved this video and that ending speech
Lol. Thanks for watching!
Because he likes to handle the ball a lot, his size leaves him exposed to injury risk with just incidental contact.
Atleast in this game we get to see more of a jumper rather than driving the basket every possession
I totally get where you're coming from.
I don't agree with the rebounding part. I think at this stage it is the weakest part of his game along with paradoxically the variety. As he can do whatever he wants he'll be prone to take inefficient shots just for fun. Long term he'll be playing more and more inside + 3s..
I respect your perspective, but I see it a bit differently.
I think he will cause new NBA rules and regulations in the future like old stars in the future.
That's an interesting perspective!
DPOY
🫣
It’s like a 10 year old boy playing against 5 year olds
Lmao.
it's pronounced as sohan not sochan
Thanks for the info, Matthew.
I'm scared
😂
Hmm sounds like everything they told me was right
Yes, it is.
WAY better than LeBron ALREADY
🤫
Lol. You conclude already.
Listen he’s going great player but pumps the breaks that Miami Heat G league team
Let's see!
It’s pronounced “so-Han”.
Got it.
From the poetic game style of Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, Carter and many more to this weird Jurassic Park kind of play, the game every year is becoming constantly uglier. Despite the statistics the Wembanyama and Jokic kind of play may be number sufficient but horrible to watch and enjoy.
I completely understand your sentiment about the evolving style.
He will break just like Sam Bowie
You can only hope hater
😂😂😂
Lol.
Yeah yeah yeah. He should have been a Piston.
Lol.
Nah. WemBUMyama.
Yup.
