Let’s hope this kid doesn’t break in the long term with the amount of pressure the media and the fans already putting on this kid is insane and he hasn’t stepped a foot on the NBA court yet. I get that he is the #1 pick but still. Hopefully he no long term injuries and best wishes for this kid to succeed to the highest level in the league.
Like Windy embarrass everyone else at the buffet 😮😂😂😂😂🎉
He won't break. He's the next LeBron
Yup, and the same guys singing his praise will bury him
People don’t give other players time to develop lol
@@geelangfordo3272You never know man, its statistically improbable but instead of speaking it into existence can we at least let the kid play? People puttin unrealistic expectations like crazy.
We're setting up this kid with expectations of being a top 5 player ever. I really hope the pressure doesn't get to him.
We do this every year, it's ridiculous. Look at Zion, they called him a future hall of fame at one point, that skinny kid in okc last year had all kinds of hype, snapped his leg when LeBron did a layup. Vw just needs to stay healthy and play and add a few pounds to bang. He's not big enough to be center, he's gotta play like kd to get buckets. I hope the best but you gotta be built like a man to be successful long term. He does look a little more filled out at least so hopefully he can build more strength and not snap in half. Then we can start having high hopes.
no way though this dude is so strong mentally. He'll be a great
@@fangsss how do you know this man? And this isn’t meant to be like a snippy sarcastic “how do you know” it’s a genuine like bro we don’t know that and we’ve been told this before. I feel bad for wemby honestly. Imagine your expected floor to be essentially a top 15 player all time. Thats some wild expectations. Higher than zion imo
@@kornstewnah its not every year its only Zion and Wemby because they are really special it was supposed to be Zion he always get hurt then now its Wemby’s turn to carry this league to the next generation
@@fangsssI agree the difference is Wemby takes care of himself unlike Zion Williamson. It’s hard to call Zion a bust when he’s so good when he plays.
Jay Bilas talking about nobody ever said Zion would be a transformational player before the draft
What about Jerry West literally saying not drafting Zion would be like passing on Michael Jordan ? LOL !
He has that potential, it’s just no one saw that once he got injured, he lost motivation to lose the weight and get healthy. Physically, Zion should be one of the most dominant players in the game. He still has that potential, but it’s starting to wear thin.
Luka, Ja, Zion, and Wembanyama in the same division is gonna be crazy
Not for long. The media will push Wembanyama out of SA the way they’re trying to get Zion out of New Orleans. Now they’re back tracking because the draft is here.
Zion? The dude who has missed 2x more games than he's played while continuing to eat and knock up the most ghetto women imaginable? Ya he'll be out the league in 5 years.
You acting like divisions mean anything in the nba 😂 that’s why they can’t produce any serious rivalries because division titles mean nothing
@@ronaldjohnson5717 means they play each other more often...
Aren't the world champions in that division?
That Ralph Sampson Comparison Was Spot On Ralph Was Tough Sadly Injures came along
no it wasn't .....Ralph didn't play for Pop and the spurs who do everything, including having military doctors for physicals, to insure the health of their players
@@joetravieso3542🥸
These Americans and their snarky comments. Hahaha. They can't just accept that bLACK AMERICAN players are just not the thing anymore. Jokic, Embiid, Luka (although I think he's overrated as h*ll), and Giannis -- all international players with farm more intangibles than black American athletes. Black Americans, and Americans in general, hate ANYTHING overseas coming in and dominating. As lukewarm and defenseless the league is in present, Viktor should absolutely DOMINATE because the game is just too easy with the pathetic defense that is played in today's game. If this was early 00s, it would be different and I would be a bit scared because those players were bone bruisers. In today's game, it should be a field day. Look how easy it was for Jokic all post season? Look at his numbers? No other player in NBA HISTORY dominated the way he did, and it's because the NBA is trash and easy.
@@joetravieso3542 Sampson made the same comparison.
@@joetravieso3542 Lol. I hear, but there was Kawhi, and not even "military" doctors can prevent injuries.
Victor will be unstoppable we just have to hope he stays healthy

I remember when they talked like this about Kristaps Porzingis, Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, and even Chet Holmgren.
Luka was embarrassing everyone in his rookie year this hype merchant will never be on Luka's level and Luka at 18 was 100 times better than this hype job
@@Adj8llk 100 times better thats something you are as disrepctfull to Victor as media was before the draft to Luka.Luka as 18 was a better offensif player but is not even close victor in defense . Victor will average 20 where luka average 25 but he will be a top 5 defensif player.He didn t have court vision like luka but he has already good rotation and focus . He is also in better org,that s will help a lot in the next saison . Luka was underated for sur and should have been the first pick but victor deserve it too. For me victor has more chance to win an early title because SPURS won t mess like DALLAS did . And i hope that luka will leave cause he is waisting years for nothing.
Yeah and Victor is a better prospect than all of them considering the stage of where he’s at as a prospect
can't even carry his Mets against Monacco and now the media thinks he can embarras players in the league 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Doncic has been a top 3 player for a few seasons now.
let's hope all the guys turn into solid players and humble people 👍🏻
IF he is healthy he will be a game changer for the spurs and NBA in general
Like Windy embarrass everyone else at the buffet 😮😂😂😂😂🎉
thats every player
Exactly but is bc pop is the best coach to make this guy be better than he can dream to be

@@stevenhornostaj5676 LOL
I can’t tell you how many times I heard someone say “best prospect since Lebron” in the last 15 years. I’m concerned about all the hype around Wendy leading to disappointment. Either way, congrats to all these guys for realizing a lifelong dream.
Right! He’s lying. We definitely heard the exact same things about Zion.
My prediction is that he will be somewhere on the level of Porzingis
Victor is different and there is way more hype for Victor then there has been for any other player since LeBron James
@@qwertzuiop1978he's way more skilled and can play d unlike porzingis. You honestly sound mad your team isn't getting him
You know they're saying that to lure fans in, not actually meaning it. Watch them hype the next kid like wemby don't exist.
Hearing that speech from JB talk about victor like that makes me want to watch his rookie season closer. Still skeptical about this hype but I respect JB opinion of college age prospects.
He gon get embarrassed as well..
If you actually watched the video, you would know that he literally said that.
Your grammar is embarrassing. You blacks are prima donnas and bag chasers out of poverty. This guy, just like the europeans who have dominated the league the past 5 years, are going to send you boys back to the ghetto lmfao
Needed this seriously thank you
Praying 🙏🏾 good health and continued success for all these players!! ❤
Every time there is a new player from some other country they try and act like that person is so much more special than everyone else. They get drafted, then you hear nothing about them for years. Most end up riding the pine. So please stop hyping these guys up. They are simply basketball players!
He’s a generational talent, you do realize that right?
Lol, what lies. It's always the other way around. Luka a HALL OF FAMER based on how much he won even before he joined the NBA was picked THIRD. Ridiculous
I would think that fast, crisp ball movement would be key for opposing teams. You can’t shoot over him, but he can’t be everywhere at once, so keeping him out of position on defense would seem to be important. One advantage for him against guys like Jokic would seem to be that San Antonio won’t need to double team him with Wemby on the floor. However, Wemby hasn’t played against anyone with the sheer strength and bulk of Jokic, so that may cause him problems. Jokic has that fallback loopy shot in close, which is hard to guard. Of course, Wemby can stop anything on the way down, but that’s goal-tending. Should be interesting.
Thank you for making this video. I am absolutely a baseball fan, but I like all sports in general. However, I do follow the NBA during playoff time. And now the draft is today. Many trade deals are in the works ahead of the July 1st deadline. I've seen 'Run the Tape' with Scoot Henderson and other ESPN clips of Wembanyama.
I got some shorts of prospects up if you wanna check em out
Scoot is just another black athlete who's there for checks and is a prima donna. You can find athletes like him on any college team. Wemb is beyond a once and a generation. As easy the trash NBA is now with these clowns, especially like Ayton, playing some of the worst defense since the 60s, Wemb can put up Jokic numbers quite fast
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143he’s played 2 seasons in the g league since he was 17. He’s been fantastic on the court, and all reports about his character and leadership have been overwhelming positive. Hating on a 19 year old teenager for no reason
Said the same things about Porzingis and Zion
Not about porzingis lol and they said barring injury for Zion Sooo

Name the year KP came out. That guy was really not much. Stfu
Let’s just chill
Maybe, time will tell. The guy seems to have amazing skills but going to the NBA is going to be a major step up in competition. Plus he's very tall and skinny, not always the best combination. I hope he can stay injury free as I'd never wish injuries on anyone, but players who are very tall sometimes seem like they can be prone to injuries here and there.
Like Windy embarrass everyone else at the buffet 😮😂😂😂😂🎉
@@stevenhornostaj5676 great joke LOL keep posting it
I'm sure he will play well and score a lot but I look at Porzingis and question his ceiling. Too skinny...he will be pushed around by PJ Tucker, Aron Gordon, Brown, even guys like Smart. These shorter but thick guys are strong. KD gets pushed around. In 2016 KD was shoved by JR Smith in that famous FT missed by KI. Watch the tape. Tall and skinny guys have a hard time in the league. Why Zion is a bulldozer? Hes relatively short but dude is massive. No center can stop him.
@@MrGenexxx one day Windy will be able to button up his shirt all the way.
Some dont tho, aka giannis MVP calibre player now. Wemby will bulk up
As frenchman i think they're going to far with him and putting to much pressure on his shoulders, let him play one game in the NBA first before saying all that praises. NBA is a different game, center are bigger and the schedule is very intense.
There’s more hype with Wemby but yes, folks were talking about Zion being a top player in the league immediately. What is my man talking about @8:00?
ZION IS FAT AND A TY[ICAL BLACK AMERICAN! Prima donna fo rthe bag
Thank you for making this video. I am absolutely a baseball fan, but I like all sports in general. However, I do follow the NBA during playoff time. And now the draft is tomorrow. Many trade deals are in the works ahead of the July 1st deadline.
I keep hearing a lot of "im concerned about all the hype" How about we all just sit back, pop the popcorn and watch this kid grow under Pop. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Right?! Like are people really hoping he doesnt get hurt or are they hoping he does?? Lowkey bigotry
the background for legs n jay is awesome
Having watched him here in France, I believe Wemby is going to be special...despite the hype. He has natural gifts, incredible talent, his head is on straight - years ahead of his age, he's got solid influencers around him (no worries of him getting into trouble ala Ja or Zion), he's been planning for this transition, he's ready to learn, AND he's determined to win NBA titles BUT knows he needs to be patient and the transition will take time. He doesn't feel any of the pressure the media is putting on him, and he will not be phased by it. As long as he stays healthy - we will get 15+ years of his transforming the game.
How successful do u think he'll be early in his rookie season? I've heard that people from France who've watched him for years believe he'll be a top 15 player by year 2
@@nuetro1709 I think he will have a successful rookie season and continue to improve rapidly in year two, but it will take a few years before he realistically will be a top 20 overall in the league. Today's NBA is designed to highlight offense (the rules and fans have made it that way) and while he will have highlight offensive plays that will get all sorts of coverage, I think his defense is going to be the real story early on. Don't forget he led EuroLeague in blocked shots as a 17-18-year-old and blocked twice as many shots as any player in the French League in 22-23.
@@verified.my2cents I also think his defense will translate immediately. I hope he can average 20-23ppg in his rookie season. Is that probably too much for year 1?
@@nuetro1709 He can definitely get there, he averaged 21.6 in 33 games last year, but it depends on so many factors, I'd be happy with 17+ ppg for his rookie year.
I think that’s really important, the nba has many super talented players who’s mentality holds them back, like kyrie, Westbrook, maybe ja morant is heading that way, the all time greats have things in perspective. I saw the interview with jj reddick and this kid is very mentally mature. Reminds me of a more talented Tim Duncan as far as mindset.
7:51 you don't recall anybody saying that Zion was on a direct line to being transformational? Are you kidding? With his speed weight and athleticism, people were saying that he was going to be unstoppable, that trying to defend against him would be like stepping in front of a bus.
Wishing the kid the best, but I’m nervous for him.

Lol are you blind. Barring injury the dude is the goat
@@woodsman958 that was shooting 😭
1:51 Jay Bilas shaking his head while saying "he's not just hype" lol so funny.
Ya ya we get it..
8:03 is the biggest cap ever. People absolutely called Zion potentially transformational and the most hyped star since Lebron. This Wemby hype feels manufacttured by the media. They're just lying about the past.
Wemby is a foot taller
@@AaronTheManCityKid And every player over 7'2" has been a bust. Being freakishly tall isn't a historically good thing.
He was getting embarrassed by Kenny Lofton Jr 😂
Every big guy will body him and embarrass him and yes he will block a couple shots until Giannis just dunks him in the rim and ends his career 😂
When he was 16 and like 30-40 pounds lighter than he is today, now he is 230 and i haven’t seen 1 guy embarrassing him in Europe, and im talking about grown men, former NBA players ect.
Wemby right now is just 10 pounds lighter than Porzingis, so in 4-5 years, in his prime he will easily be like 250-270 pounds like Gobert or AD.
And Kareem was 7’2 225 pounds, so Wemby is already bigger than him, and Kareem was one of the best and most durable player ever so 🤷🏾♂️

were seeing triple doubles with jokic we might see quadruple doubles with victor thats crazy
Blessings all

i just wanna see battle the 6 other best centers i wanna see if he drop bucks i feel like they will keep knocking him not his spots maybe it don’t matter he spot is everywhere
They always hype these players. Then when they get to the league it doesn’t translate. I’m not convinced until I see how he handles NBA competition.
Can we just pump the breaks on all this? Also let us hope he is not fragile. I really wish him a long career and a successful one. More competition in the nba, the better.
5:06 This Summer league gonna be so fun ahahahah
Can we just enjoy him without all this?!?
Its not embarrassing as much as overmatching. Basketball fits the above averages and the slights above that, not the behemoth

7'2 player with handles and a jump shot literally is the craziest prospect I ever seen....its really up to if he can stay healthy...but thats a big if
@@theoriginaltroll388 Porzingis is already doing that what are you saying. They basically have the same skill set😂
@feitanportor15 Exactly Porzigus is a all star caliber player but their is a major difference...Victor is 2 inches taller and can put the ball on the floor....Porzingus plays like a stretch 4 I never seen him do any crossovers ....Victor plays like a guard
Victor Wembanyama seems to have the skills and he really young at 19 years old but now he coming to the NBA a totally different environment so yes, he's been injuries free but he hasn't banged with grown men in the NBA. When Jay Bilas said Victor reminds him of Ralph Sampson maybe so but the player that comes to mind for me is Yao Ming. A lot of tall NBA players that over 7ft get hurt a lot and don't have a long career and Victor frame doesn't seem be close to NBA ready he looks pretty small other than his height. The Spurs have been lucky in the draft over the years to build out their team, my question is can they get that lucky this again this time around?
Spurs need to give him a plate of peanut butter and a spoon and locked him in a room and make him eat it. Waay to skinny.

I’m probably the only person that feels like they need to see once he gets there.
I think he’s gonna have a similar career to Tingus pingus. Similar build and skill set. Wemby is better defensively, although he’s playing significantly lower competition. Hopefully injuries don’t kill his career.
We found our next lebron, but way taller, won't build superteams, whine for help, or go 4-6 in the nba finals. Victor is a winner
Jay Billas said the same thing about Anthony Bennett lol
Lets see when SPORTS MEDIA will start the process of recruiting Wemby to go to a BigMarket team like their favorites L.A/NY etc (today is 6-23-23)
Crazy how the media has all this to say about Victor they never said this about even the greatest players, now we just wait and see
He will need to learn how to handle big strong guys. They'll be pushing him around all the time.
Stop doing this to this kid. Everybody is pulling for him it seems like after his interviews and seeing how good of a person off the court he is. Let him be and stop putting these ridiculous expectations on him
I`ve never been so excited to watch a St Antonio Spurs game.
Kenneth Lofton jr. : I don’t think so 😊
5:06 Why Windy look like a Addams Family Character????
Well…I’ll wait to see this one.
I doubt it
Lol those are some bold statements, putting a lot of faith in a slim few
I love how the media likes to build u up. Only to drop you like a hot potato when those expectations are not met. This kid is humble and haven’t said anything disrespectful towards the game or player. Don’t eat “ media” bullsht guys!

I'd say Wemb and Chet Holmgren will be in the top 3 in block shots next year. They are going to packing free lunches all season.
The great thing about this kid is not his physical prowess. Although that by itself already put him over the top in comparisons to the "best ever" players who played this game of basketball. What is special about Victor from what I gather on his interviews all over UA-cam and some online information is the way his parents brought him up as a child. His mental toughness and maturity is the key.
I'd say Wamban is more of a taller kristap porzingis.
I just measured and hands is a little over 8 inches. The difference between that and 12 is insane. For reference I’m 6’3
Victor is a 2k cheat code. I hope he has a long career and can't wait to watch him
Don’t be another Zion
He will have to rely on his post fade lots, which is good for him. He's not ready to bang down low. Wish him the best, odds are against him.
He needs to just lock in a be the best he can be, if he can just get 3 rings and pass Hakeem he’ll be great but the Duncan comps will have people clamoring long for more. The first crop of legends thrived without heavy media & their have been legends that have thrived during the media era. Let’s hope Victor can do the same.
Best thing you can do is tone down the hype . Injuries happen
Wemby and Holmgren are going to bring back bully ball. They are so tall and both good shot blockers so the way to deal with guys like that is to push them around. Gonna be interesting.
Chet? Really? lmfao
Chet gon get bullied💀
Doubtful. He's the lightest 7footer in the history of the league. Even Rudy has 40lbs on him
Chet ain't 7"5 tho lol
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143
I think you misunderstood. They are both gonna be the victims of bully ball.
If I was Portland I’d draft scoot and if dame still wants out then get the best you can for him.. I wouldn’t pass up on scoot by trading the pick or otherwise
Like noone? People already forgetting the 7'4" Kristaps.
I hope the best for him but this is probably one of the worst draft news cycles I've ever seen. He's gonna be the #1 pick but lets actually see him play NBA first.
To me, the ultimate testament of Wembanyama's potential greatness would be if last generation's players start to retire... either within the season or next season, understanding they can no longer hope to contend for a championship with this young man in the league.
Probably the stupidest thing ever said. the spurs will not even make the playoffs
@@NickMac-cb1vr Naaa, the stupidest thing ever said was by "DK Wiggins" 'bout Black Athletes... "Great Speed but Little Stamina.".

With the 1st pick in the 2023 NBA Draft the San Antonio Spurs select Victor Wembanyama!
Can't wait to see him and chet holgram match up
I cant wait for him to be bully'd phisically and struggling in his first few season so all of these "experts" eat their words.. Like how much more pressure you wanna put on the kid in order to get a headline @espn
Altering shots like prime dwight blocking people from the pain almost at the three lol
i feel that old school physical defense is going to come back soon
ESPN : No one is like Wembanyama
Nowitzki and Porzingis : Really ?
Victor has incredible potential! I think he'll lead the league in blocked shots almost immediately. His defense will be ahead of his offense in the beginning. He has to get stronger and not fall in love with the three point shot. Keep the dribbling to a minimum. In the NBA, he'll get the ball stolen if he dribbles too much.
Being 7ft3-5 blocks should be easy
Naw cat dribbles low and has very good handles. Meanwhile shoots
@bumshka21 If you just watched the pre season game against Golden State a few days back, he looked sensational, especially on defense.
The media has to relax yo
Normally I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm a Nuggets fan btw who is still high af off the championship and the fact we have Jokic. What any non-Spurs fan should be particularly worried about is that Wembanyama is going to be under the command of Pops. He isn't going to be used and abused by some dumb inexperienced coach who doesn't know what he's doing or some desperate clown forcing results to keep his job. Pops is the only coach in the league (since Phil Jackson retired) that I am absolutely terrified of facing when he has a legit squad. I love Pops but I also hate him because he scares me.
Glad your Nuggets won the championship. My Spurs will be competing for a championship in 3 to 5 years.
Fans in the media have to put this kinda of hype around dude is the number one pick at that every team in the league is going to struggle against him not his team maybe but him I think he will be San Antonio franchise player and I think he can one day be up there with the legendary spurs themselves
Tell that to Kenny Lofton jr. 😂
I think the hype from ESPN is getting a little out of hand at this point
Best player since Lebron is a far stretch as Lebron came with so much hype and we all knew what he could do in high school. Now the best comparison for Victor is Anthony Davis and even Davis was injury prone with the way his body looked.
The media gotta stop doin dat
Zion be the Trail Blazers!
I’m feelin it
I hope this kid succeeds
NBA Guys are Bigger and stronger than anyone he's played up to this point. Embiid is literally twice his size. I just hope the young fellow holds up!
Embiid weight more than it he ain't 7"5 tho lol wemby will kill embiid
17-20 points. He will get bodied by everyone though. He is weak. He is 7’5 with an 8 foot wingspan. It doesn’t matter if he is out of position. One wide step, he will block you. One wide step and he will go from the 3 to the paint.
i’m calling it now he’s not gonna be able to meet the expectations
They must have seen highlights of wemby that I haven't seen
They just be making random comparisons fr these experts don’t know anything
Lmfao they was saying that about Zion though ….
