He's the biggest unicorn in NBA history. Let's pray he stays healthy...
God willing, if he stays healthy he has a SOLID 16-18 years of this productivity
Agreed. Hopefully, this kid stays healthy for a long time.
i want him to stay healthy and have a productive career.....

......but I don't like a a Hakeem fan he's gonna eventually break Hakeem's blocks record 😢😢 lol
@@K4EVON imagine that, he could be the all time leader in blocks and maybe three pointers made if he knocks down 4-6 a game as he is currently doing.
Lebrons size and athleticism while still maintaining his health has to put him in the unicorn category or maybe that’s something else
he absolutely didn't disappoint
Vassell however…😅
His team let him down
@ginabean9434 basketball is a team sport
this NBA2k team is something else, hair, sneakers, trading and grabbin a HOF pg end of career, anything else im missing?
@@paisleypark1127 Vassel was so disappointing. He’s so inconsistent. Past 2 games, you can barely feel his presence in the game.
Wemby Already a top 10 player in year two
Top 5
prob top 5 only players objectively better are luka shai giannis and jokic
@@nagames56 yeah Wemby is miles ahead of Jokic, Luka and Shai defensively too
@@nagames56Giannas, Melo, and maybe Jason Tatum.
Ok maybe not Melo, but Giannas 100% is better and JT is almost there as well.
I’d say he’s borderline top 5. Before this game, its KAT that’s top 5 in the MVP race (wemby is 7th, AD is 6th) with AD slowly regressing. So after this game, wemby convincingly knocks out KAT.
Besides its only Jokic, Giannis, Shai and tatum that are clearly better. Luka is out coz he is injured a lot lately.
Basketball gods, please protect this man from injuries
Honestly think it would be pretty hard for him to get injured due to his extensive stretching routine, he really primes his body before games.
his diet is also top tier
He just gotta eat healthy
@@NationKiwiHe’s smart, he’s been training his flexibility and landing for years so we can only pray nobody like draymond or brooks falls on him until before he bulks up
There is only one god
The whole league knows Wemby era will be pure domination on offense and defense. 👽
Right, long as he stays injury free 💪
That's nice he will never win a championship
@@Henry-i5h What😅
He is not playing for Charlotte
@@heatfan1831 What does team have to do with anything? He is simply not a winning player
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay He is 21 chill
Wemby is a combination between pysical advantage, skill, and high basketball IQ... it's just perfect..
Wemby in his 2nd season is already looking like a legit MVP candidate. You better watch out!!!
He had a case for it last year. Only thing stopping him was minute restrictions and the politics of being a rookie.
Watch out for the criminal
@@makaveli3189Crazy how he wasn’t dpoy
MVP candidate 😂😂😂 he’s an overrated stretch big
@@dextersecretdexter weak bait
Only 20 and dropping ALIEN stats like this..he special 🔥🔥
He looks like a criminal
u r commenting under this channel since 2011/12 or so. luv u man. it brings some nostalgia xD
Fr hahahah, I remember this lebron dude fan haha@@larswinkler3041
He is Jabbar or Chamberlain material
Victor Wembanyama has averaged 28.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 4.5 blocks on 48%, 37%, 90% in his last 10 games
This dude is 20 years old in his second year. insane.
Gonna be a 50 40 90 guy at some point for sure
All star, dpoy and already top 10 in the league.. people watch sport for this kind of phenomenon
*top 5
top 10 ???? so there is 9 players that is better than wemby in offense AND in defense ??? tell me who please i want to know
@ relax I’m french and a very big fan of wemby and didn’t say he was the 10th best player but among the 10 best player so it’s slightly different .. hope he will compete for the goat but they are plenty of crazy players in the league currently.. jokic giannis shai ad steph tatum.. but it’s true that he might be the most complete already
@@EnisssPlayers as a whole I would rather take then wemby.
Jokic
Giannas
Luka
Shai
Tatum
KD
Ad
Curry
Edwards
Then wemby.
Wemby will climb the ranks soon but right now I can’t say Wemby is better than the players above.
Wemby easily clears all of them but Jokic Giannis & Luka
His body work is out of this world.His high with these capabilities its one in a lifetime
Wemby is 20 dropping GOAT-like statlines
Wemby is insane. That man is like a walking insult to physical laws lmao
The city of San Antonio has a bright future once again. We love our Spurs!
Not with Vassell, Keldon, Collins and Jones LMAO 😂
@@__yova_2_mana___407 wdym, Vassel is part of the young core and the other two are decent vets.
@@arvidbjoerk5307 Vassell is an average starter for the most part. We need need secondary and tertiary scoring around him and we don't have that. The closest to that would be Castle in a year or two if he develops his offensive game.
@bdgrey tbh I thought Vassel was closer to 22-23 than 24.
I still expect him to improve but maybe not as much as I did before.
@@__yova_2_mana___407
You may be right but I will support my Spurs no matter the situation.
This kid is wild
That one handed offensive rebound over Kat for the put back was unreal.
Kat looked at the bench like "what the fock was that " 😅😅
Not sure I've ever seen a rebound grabbed any higher up
Crazy how this man was cooking, then they completely forget about him last few minutes of the game.. smh spurs
Absolutely right... and it was the same in the previous game : some of his team mates play hero ball and miss, losing their temper and forgetting to rebound in O and D. That's how short wins become short losses. So bad.
@@Ebriel0000000dudes can’t box out for sht. Is been the same all year long 😡!!
Vassell sold the win they were up and caused a turnover
Ye facts Wemby Istantly left the court as soon as the game was over. U can tell bro was not happy
He was cooking because Towns cannot guard on the perimeter. Once the Knicks adjusted and put Achiuwa/Anunoby on Wemby he was less effective.
Face of the league… he will save the nba and be the greatest of all time!
Knicks fan here. If Wemby stays healthy he's going to be a beast for years. He makes everyone else on the court look small. I can't wait to see what else he does in the future.
Extreme respect to you! I can't tell you how many toxic Knicks fans I've talked to. One even hoping he gets injured. People can be disgusting so thank you for the positivity. Congrats to your team for fleecing the Timberwolves by the way!
@sinastir7688 Those fans are the one who make us look bad. I can't stand that. Wemby will be a Hall of Famer if he stays healthy. Haha, thanks, I thought the trade might be more even in the beginning but seeing Donte struggle and watching Randle still out of control at times makes me realize that maybe the Timberwolves did get fleeced.
You’re my favorite Knicks fan coming from a die hard spurs fan. I always wondered what JB would look like with wemby and the spurs. He’s one of my favorite PG’s. 🔥
Good game. Till we see yall again in San Antonio.
Most impressive thing about him is his movement at that size.
I’ve seen countless clips of him using fluid motion as if he is a much smaller forward or guard without his height causing any penalties.
Effectively he gets the same use out of his body as KD
When this guy is on offense sometimes, he doesn't even look or feel 7'5. That's how fluid his movement is.
Sad thing is he shoots way too many 3s. Kd has never attempted 9 3s in a game. Wemby is averaging 9 attempts a game. It’s insane. He has to get inside more
MVP AND DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.. 2024-2025 SEASON..
Victor Wembanyama will be the most dominant player in the league in the next few years.
They lost
Giannis
Oh mama wembanyama 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
This guy is nuts. Busting 3s from the logo and getting all the rebounds
He lost the game bc the Knicks got 3 offense rebounds at the end of the game lol
NBA needs to be promoting this man like mj “ wanna be like Victor”
Wemby is All Star
This guy will be the greatest of all time if he stays healthy. There are stretches where he is better than any player I have ever seen!
God I pray this man stays healthy. I wanna see as much as he can give for his career
Didn’t get the win, but at least with this monster performance Knicks fans can’t call him “overrated” anymore.
Mikal went off too
@SpikeBanknobody gaf about bridges

💯
Wemby already is a top 10 player in year 2 , he absolutely did not disappoint.
Man Wemby is something else. 5 years from now I think he can win it all
I think he's an mvp contender by next year, if not in 2 years. And yea if he can get a solid team around him, championship will come quicker than we think
@@Shaquille69355 he’s already a MVP contender rn. He’s ranked 8th
@@VernonTang-v8m yea ik but he's not gonna win it. I meant like top 3 yk
Phenomenon Vic "Alien" Wemby❤
Absolute madlad, such a fun player to watch
Wemby-utiful skill meets incredible athleticism, you get Victor. 🥵🥵🥳🥳🔥🔥
Wemby is legend history nba perfomance is perfect and he's only twenty years old it's surprising👽👽👽👽👽
This waa my first time watching him and im definitely impressed
All time talent this dude.....
That left handed layup at 3:04 is crazy. He just extended his arm and was at the basket.
Can’t imagine how good this guy will be in a few years when he adds so much muscle
Praying that this kid stays healthy for a long time. May he have a long and successful NBA career. 🙏🏼 He’s gonna be a problem in the future. I mean, he’s already a problem now anyway.
Imagine if Wemby builds up muscle like Giannis down the road in his NBA career (Giannis was skinny too in his early NBA days)
He’s gonna be the greatest fantasy player ever
Buddy has to show up more in those last 4 minutes, he had em right where he wanted em, keep getting better kid. Such a bright future.
He played the entire 4th. Clearly not used to Thibs level minutes. He’s the spurs entire defense while being their number one option, that takes a toll on his legs. Need more from the others.
He did so damn much dude. Only him, Wemby, Paul and Castle really showed up. Keldon is way too streaky coming off the bench. Vassel isn't the same since he got injured. Tre Jones is only a good facilitator, and a liability on defense. Collins is shit. Branham and Wesley are not consistent. Champagnie is streaky. Mamu isn't utilized often. Really we can trade most of our players, as long as we don't lose Castle and Sochan primarily. If we got Fox like it's rumored, Spurs would immediately improve significantly.
Nba finally is advertising the next generation of basketball.
OH MAMA WEMBANYAMA🔥🔥🔥
Wemby slowly getting his swagger. That long ah 3 to make a point to the fan lol there’s nothing he can’t do
Es una bestia! Y va ser el contrato más grande en las historia de la NBA
42, 18, 4 n 4 is craaaaazy work... Damn!!!
They gotta build around wemby castle and vassel. Cp dont got much longer but his leadership right now is everything.
Has the potential to be the GOAT
Wemby is amazing 🔥
This dude is so fun to watch
aight i've seen enough... bro is the goat. I aint gonna hear nothing else.
Spurs fan 30 plus years. I think 2 more years the right moves. Spurs can own the west. They have a young and talented roster.
Stacked West. Joker is still ascending.
Other than Wemby and Castle, not so talented.
Right move starts from trading Devin
@@matthedlund502 dont sleep on sochan thats already 3 great players Plus all their other assets like good contracts and picks they are in prime position
They gonna find out about area 51. Real quick...
Wetbananas going crazy
Flight butchered what was supposed to be his real name so bad. It should be “man Victor Wentbananas!”
What a player 👏👏👏 🔥
Shaq cant hate now. Stay healthy young buck
New favorite player
Future goat 🐐
He’s the face of the league already 🔥👽
lol no
@@jokicMVP3he is the face. Who wants to watch Jokic? Jokic is the best player in the league but he’s too boring to be the face
Jokic and Giannis should show you NBA doesn’t want to make an international player face of the league
Giannis, Jokic, Luka clear Wemby as face of the league
@@youngcity4241LeBron is still the face of the league Not Giannis nor Jokic nor Luka LeBron is the most viewed Basketball player in every state in the United States.
Jokic is the best player in the league but like he said his playstyle is too boring to watch for casual fans.
King wemby at again.
He can really do it all, at his height too. Wild
I'm just praying he doesn't get injured. All we can do is hope. What a player man.
Wemby is legit a top 5 player in the league already
He's a Sophomore.
Spurs are developing him perfectly.
Work on skills and shooting while his body get gradually and naturally stronger .
Starting next season I guarantee he'll be posting up more and dunk on everyone.
Wemby is living up to the hype.
Wemby is a DEMIGOD!!!! I cant wait to see him in a few years when he builds muscle, he will be the best in the nba for a while
it's like watching santa fly over in awe
If he gets the rings to back it up, he’ll easily be the best to ever do it.
First he needs to surpass Jokic 😂😂😂something that would be extremely difficult in this decade. He needs to become better scorer than Jokic (who last 5 years is averaging 26,5 points on 58% shooting from the field, those are literally prime Shaq numbers, but Jokic averages also 38% feom deep last 5 years soo Wemby first needs to surpass those numbers), than he needs to be at least 70% as good passer as Jokic because Jokic is the best passer in the league and he has huge impact with his passing and makes everyone around him better. It doesn't matter if Wemby averages 30 points oer game if he can't make his teammates better close to Jokic's level. Soo I would say, he needs to average 5-6 assists per game. Than he needs to be better rebounder and better offensive rebounder, something that he definitely isn't right now and than he can talk about him being one of the GOATs. His defense won't help him to surpass Jokic if he isn't one of the greatest offensive players ever because Jokic in his prime is arguably the greatest offensive player who ever lived.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664Jokic glazing
@@hristijandimitrovski8664you could’ve jus said you suckin jokic meat
@@hristijandimitrovski8664 jokic is actually the one who needs the rings at this point of his career. if he doesn't get at least 2 more before he retires, wemby will surpass jokic in the all-time rankings. yes, mvps has a lot to do with it but championships weigh even more. look at kobe, he has only 1 mvp yet considered as a top 10 player of all time because of his 5 rings. jokic would be known as the best playmaking center of all-time. wemby would probably be known as the greatest defender of all time.
I seriously think he’s already better than Jordan and I’ve never said that about anyone
Young man channeling the ghost of Wilt the Stilt‼️
Wilt played against plumbers lol , Wilt is just a gobert type of player in this era
Just astounding what he is doing and he is only going to get better and better. Even if this were his peak, and he DOESN'T get better, he is still first ballot HOF.
If Victor gained a lot of wait he’ll be one of the best players we ever watched he’s a offensive and defensive threat which makes it scary
Go wemby! If this man isn't all-nba and DPOY san antonio will riot
Wemby went crazy special talent slender man 🤫🐐🔥🛸👽👽
The LEGEND continues to blow up...
Every night I pray for Wemby's continued health. Every night.
Yeah let’s pray for him together, with me « Wemby will have a long career and will stay healthy, long live Wemby »🙏🏾
Thought his fist year was luck but then this year I realize he's actually like that
I won't lie... The viewership dropping because we are still focusing on the older generations like LeBron and Chef which I am a big fan of both... But let's be real here it's time to start looking at this new guys in NBA like Wemby and Ant man let the new guys take over the league man..... Nice one Wemby more success bro and merry Xmas
they probably waiting until bron,curry, n kd retire lets jus hope we don’t need a rivalry like magic vs bird to save the league again
It's their fault. Them fools don't wanna retire wemby alone gonna be better than all of them if he stays healthy
2nd season and putting such numbers Insane
Wow, this is an interesting basket Match!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I’m a long time Spurs fan and Mikal Bridges was the actual star of this game.
Bridges was slightly more efficient with a 100x less impact on defense.
Don't call yourself a spurs fan.
VW's confidence is top notch, he's doing it all man! he's scoring, rebounding, blocking, assisting. Geez! he's becoming a HUGE problem now for the opposing teams, and he's only a sophomore...
Will be the best ever if he keeps this up. Stay healthy, humble and hungry Wemby and the world is yours.
That's the problem
LeBron is extremely healthy and his longevity is insane
To surpass Bron Wemby needs that healthy physique so that he gets no injuries
We see now-adding CP3 to the team was hands down the best move for Wemby...
He's the best player ive ever seen. Not saying he's the goat. He doesnt have the accolades. But eye test. There isnt anything he can't do.
The best in the NBA right now 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
man be playing chess right after this. bro is like that
If he puts on muscle it’s over for the league. Wilt mode!
Wemby is already a monster, like wtf lol
I mean... the guy is a monster.
This guy only is the most consistent player so far. Never lose bet on him
I don't know if he's top 3 5 10 whatever. I know he's incredibly entertaining to watch
He’s beginning to realise his destiny
Wemby: I understand it now
Everyone: Yep, he understands it now
Can't wait for Wemby's career to take off (team winning high in the standings).. MVP seasons, DPOY seasons loading!!
Main problem is hes not only tall. He agile and lately got Steph like 3s
Never been done before, except by Wilt in every game of an entire season 😂, while playinf every minute, because he's the GOAT.
historic doesn’t mean new genius
I’ve been reading a lot of critiques about Victor Wembanyama’s playing style, and I want to point out that despite his exceptional height, he’s still limited by a physique that is somewhat frail to truly impose his presence in the paint in the NBA. His footwork, while fluid and suited to his exterior game, lacks the sturdiness to handle interior players who, although often shorter, are much heavier and more robust. This not only exposes his limitations in post battles but also increases the risk of serious injuries if he ventures too much into physical play too soon.
I think this situation is comparable to Kevin Durant’s, who, despite his stature and talent, has always struggled to play effectively in the post against true big men. Wembanyama seems to be aware of this reality, which is why his current approach, focused on his shooting and perimeter versatility, is thoughtful and sensible. It allows him to maximize his strengths while gradually giving his body time to adjust to the physicality of NBA interior play.
By focusing on these aspects and allowing his “mutant” physique to develop over time, he can later incorporate more of the inside game with better preparation and increased confidence. This strategy enables him to evolve intelligently, without rushing, while minimizing risks.
Joyeux Noël and Merry Chrismas everyone from France 🇫🇷 !!
bla bla bla
Thanks ChatGPT
Wemby went crazy!! in the next 5 years they gotta make the playoffs
So unlucky his last 3 was cancelled because the refs called a foul on CP3 just before. Wemby would have made 45...
More than that, It would have send the game in overtime. Such a shame, such a bad whistle timing from the ref. In football (soccer) and rugby when a foul is commited, the referee sometimes let the game continue. It' called "adventage". It makes so much more sense
Just bet everything on Wemby he never disappoints! 😂😂
