Wembanyama's flexibility is the most unexpected cheat code. No one thought a 7'4" guy would be doing splits in a basketball game covering 9ft of reach in one turn.
Right. Two steps to a dunk from the 3-pt line? Insane. Yes, he's still a rookie and has a lot to learn, but he is a fast learner! Personally, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who inately understands and executes the game as well as Jokic (maybe Bird), and I think he is the best player in the game right now. I don't know if Victor will be able to match the Joker's IQ, but he can come close with some more experience and he can more than make up for any difference with his physical attributes and skill. Go Spurs Go!
People saying Chet is better specially on defensive end without realizing players stop driving on the paint most of the time when Wemby is near the rim. Same reason why Wemby has lesser blocks than what they were expecting. It was his impact that is significant just like when Gobert is near the rim.
I'm glad all the doubters opened their eyes. I've been saying since he got hyped up in france that even if he gets injured he'll still break the nba because he's on another level. Like we legit will never see another guy as tall as him pulling 3s from deep like that ever after he retires. Wemby is literally an overpowered nba 2K player. And to add salt to the injury, ngl all of the spurs players are mid at best. Imagine if he had a real point guard, imagine if he had a sniper besides him ... Literally on his way to break like half of the nba records lol.
In highlights, he looks unreal. Reality is that he's shooting 44.1fg% and 29.3% 3ptfg%. These are in line with how he did in Euroleague. His shot selection and scoring efficiency in the paint should improve over time. He could eventually become as automatic scoring in the paint as Jokic currently is; perhaps even better. His 3pt shooting doesn't look to have that much upside for improvement. Almost no one can realistically pressure his shot outside of 3 or 4 people, so the fact that he shoots under 30% on essentially minimally contested 3s is pretty bad. What makes him "hilariously unfair" is his defensive presence. Having a 9ft radius of being able to get to contest and/or block any shot attempt.
@@xXXdaniel210xXx but is he breaking the NBA at this moment like the title suggests? I don’t think he is. He’s a good rookie and hopefully will continue to get better. Is he capable of doing things more consistently than any other person his size? Sure. However, he isn’t the best player in the NBA at this time. You can’t speculate how good he is going to be based on 9 games. Injures happen, falling short of your expectations happen and only time will tell.
@xXXdaniel210xXx Wembanyama isn't Kawhi. He's 9 inches taller and has an 8ft wingspan. Every aspect of their shooting mechanics are vastly different. Shorter players generally have fundamentally less moving parts and more compactness in their overall shooting motion. This translates to better stability and repeatability which generally translates to higher consistency. Being shorter also means you get a higher trajectory on your shots. In short, being longer and taller works against you the longer and taller you get when it comes to being an elite shooter. That's what makes KD so special.
I checked some other stats for the first 8 games to see whether the 38pts is just one outlier stat. Compared to lebron, the stats are quite similar which is impressive for wemby. What's very different though are lebrons assists: 53 assists in 8 games! Wemby had 14. Bron played more minutes though.
gtf outta here you comparing a bag of bones to mj ha ha. in a league that plays zero defense. a three point shooting shit show . hey i laugh at ur comment wilt the stilt would have banana boy shittin his diaper
I have said it before, I'll say it again. Check Wemby's wingspan and standing reach. It's unproportionally longer than even is height difference. Sure, he's taller. But his reach is even crazier.
@catvapecult5876 well if you know so much, what is the number after the players age at 3:13? Genuinely curious, I have no clue what that figure represents. Like for luka it shows his age as 20-305 and steph as 22-031. What is that three digit number supposed to tell us??
I get that Wemby is all the rage right now, but I can’t in good faith let a video showing the Raptors at Spurs game not talk about Barnes‘ fourth quarter explosion. He was also crazy
I don't understand why Wemby thing is to be " called great or super star". The guy is the tallest of every one on the floor. I does not need to jump to put the ball in the net. He does need to be there, or NBA needs to find him a basket net high compare to his height or we call it cheating on the others. What about, if every has the same height ?
Hi Hoop, i'm a recent subscriber. I'm also brazilian, so i have a obvious question, what do you think about GSW sign with Gui Santos?? Tks. Love the videos!!!
I'm not going to lie he's like the tallest basketball player I've seen in a long time. And the fact that he can play like he's 6'3 is crazy. I'm definitely not a fan of the Spurs but this s*** is looking wild I can't wait for more games this year
you need to understand that the guy is the next jordan and wilt chamberlain and kareem all in one. He just needs to not do drugs, not overeat, not drink, and only bang about 20,000 women.
Wembanyama being on the floor shuts down the paint. His presence alone scares players. But no way he wins DPOY. The nba doesn’t understand nuances enough for it to happen
You don’t stop him, play physical, try to keep him shooting, box out, make him run around on defense you stop the others. He’s a freak of nature and we’ve never seen this before but this spurs team ain’t it, as constructed
bruh he's averaging 19, 9, and 2. yeah his future is really exciting, but jesus bro, dismount his meat. most current greats are busy averaging 30+ with more than 2 assist. Wemby isn't breaking shit yet
STOP talking about the boy like he is the king already. Why you hype him more than necesary? He is amazing talent with great phisic but please guys. Give him time to shine and wait til he gets in top 5 for something. ( stats shows that right now the only think he is n top 5 is Blocks. He is great and very probably he will be the best one day but not today!
Remember this is technically Chet’s 2nd year. He’s gotten a year worth of NBA knowledge, coaching, and strength training. With all that Wemby still looks like a better player. Players are not coming into the paint because of him.
Will VIctor Wembanyama become an all-star in his rookie season?
If he stays healthy yeah and easily i think.
Yeeeees
I think NBA is too stacked of stars right now maybe next year
If he keeps playing like this yes
If his teammates pass him the ball, why not

Yeah, that much raw talent and advantage, and with Pop... If he stays healthy (please, please, stay healthy) we are going to witness great things
Search up Wemby Stretching
Can't tear anything if they're already that flexible
I hope Wembanyama can win a championship with Spurs.
Not with the current team....they need a couple more guys around him for sure. The Spurs trust Pop. Best place Wemby could have landed.
Not this year I believe and not with this team exactly.
Or like 7
He will if Spurs win the draft again Spurs have 2 lottery picks their own and Raptors.
And here’s how Wemby’s success means the Warriors will be unstoppable this season

Put him on the bucks they'd be unstoppable.
He’s a talent but you’re watching highlights where he hits every shot. The reality is he’s shooting under 30% for 3’s. That’s pretty average
@@Bluemusic66Not for a rookie with so much pressure on his shoulders imo. When he'll get in rythm he'll be at 40 maybe even 45 on his peak. :)
Hearing Trae Youngs name, Klendon Johnson and 3 first round picks.
In highlights, he looks unreal. Reality is that he's shooting 44.1fg% and 29.3% 3ptfg%. These are in line with how he did in Euroleague.

I was thinking the same thing. Highlights are awesome but they only tell you a portion of the story.
He's 19. Of course he's going to get better.
Your really underestimating hard work fam, look at kawhi his rookie year and years later with spurs, his shooting and everything else only improved

it was an outlier lmao
FREAK 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills 🔥🔥🔥
That was a welcome to the Wemby-A moment. - Editor’s Note. Carry on. 8:30
Take care Pop you don’t break him down like a too young of a race horse on the track! Watch him for blood clots. He’s awsome❤
Living in San Antonio, I need to get some tickets to see this man before he's another Greg Oden
Scoot & Amen have already been injured more before & after entering the NBA than Victor has his whole career so relax lol…
I keep thinking of Oden too. Hopefully Wemby stays healthy.
@@Adam_A_Christiandifferent body type and play style all together. Oden looked old to begin with 😂
For those wondering, it took MJ 10 games to score 38+. He got 45, but Wemby had a better PPM.
That’s such a weird arbitrary number to start counting at 38. What’s so special about 38? It should be fewest games it takes to score 40+.
@@wangfoo2693cuz wemby got 38 gotta make it more specific to benefit one over the other
The talent in the league today is incomparable to MJ’s time…Nonsense to pit them out because the timeline and style of play is way too different.
Bro not numbers 💀
gtf outta here you comparing a bag of bones to mj ha ha. in a league that plays zero defense. a three point shooting shit show . hey i laugh at ur comment wilt the stilt would have banana boy shittin his diaper
Ok bro when this guy is in his prime and dropping 40 and 20 and being the GOAT I’m gonna sit back and relax

I can't stop wondering what Victor will be like in just his second season. MIP award
Imagine if Wemby gets stocky, that would be a scary sight
Pretty Impressive To See A Center With That Chef Curry Type Of Game.
Love his moves to the hoop!
i would love to go to a Spurs game now.
Wemby will get better soon that's scary for the others
lol typo in your slide at 2:35 man is ancient at 244 years old
You did Kawhi dirty putting his laugh in there like that 😂
I see you conveniently left jordan off your list who beats wemby with a 37 pt performance in just his 3rd NBA game ever.
Jordan will always be number one. So it's all good
9:16
Yes, but please keep in mind Victor is a teenager...
@catvapecult5876 well if you know so much, what is the number after the players age at 3:13? Genuinely curious, I have no clue what that figure represents. Like for luka it shows his age as 20-305 and steph as 22-031. What is that three digit number supposed to tell us??
@@coachmcguirk6297 notice how all of those players are current players🤦🏾
The glaze is crazy
HoopReports has 2 passions: the Golden State Warriors and Victor Wembanyama.
Trae Young did lock up Ben Simmons under the rim in the playoffs
Please help us god make him healthy all the way through every season.
I get that Wemby is all the rage right now, but I can’t in good faith let a video showing the Raptors at Spurs game not talk about Barnes‘ fourth quarter explosion. He was also crazy

Hope he doesn’t get injured those off balance lobs worry me .see Angels superstar injured
The court is barely long enough for him to travel.
I really wish I could see another Prime Shaq face off against someone like Wemby. Would be an interesting game to watch.

How you feel about cam Thomas 40 40 40 game span?
1:14 I know, addition is tough, but he's 5 inches tallet... 6'11" to 7'4" 🤦♂️
I'm not going to lie he's like the tallest basketball player I've seen in a long time. And the fact that he can play like he's 6'3 is crazy.
I'm definitely not a fan of the Spurs but this s*** is looking wild I can't wait for more games this year
ngl wemby also couldve chose gollum as his costume because of how flexible he is
I would imagine guarding him would be the same as guarding a lightning fast 6ft nothing man as a fucking toddler
That thumbnail is crazy
He's a real life Mon Star
San Antonio can now compete with Denver, each team has a super…superstar, no match by any other team !
he takes the required 1 and a half steps
Yes
Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Reports 🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣😅😂😅😂😂😅😅😂
He was sent to make us stfu about the goat debate
When counting 6in taller are you counting 6'12", 7'0" separate?
you can’t be serious right now
@@lollllllIIhoop said 11 inch difference between a 6'6 booker and 7'4 wemby.
You guys have no idea what this dude is going to do. He is practically a 7 foot Stephen Curry watch.
Possible nick name for wemby is the French Phenom similar to the Greek freak
Waiting for that Houston Rockets apology
😂, Slender Smoove!
Butuh dua pemain yg mempuni lagi buat spurs untuk bersaing di papan atas. Satu orang tidak cukup untuk bersaing. 😊
Hes playing crap after 38 game night.people in new york called him overrated.
And he’s about to casually travel before a shot. 😂
Kawhi lol ftw
Petition for wemby’s new nickname to be the French freak or double F for short like to sign it
you need to understand that the guy is the next jordan and wilt chamberlain and kareem all in one.
He just needs to not do drugs, not overeat, not drink, and only bang about 20,000 women.
Wembanyama being on the floor shuts down the paint. His presence alone scares players. But no way he wins DPOY. The nba doesn’t understand nuances enough for it to happen
Victor Wembanyama has no ceiling to his potential
Based on his last few games, the NBA is breaking Wemby.
Imagine wemby guarding curry
Wait is this an ai voice?? Thought u was original but now im hearing your voice on other channels
We call him Slendy now?
The Spurs used to have the twin towers. Now they have the frickin Burj Khalifa 😂
Dude if he gets as big as Giannis it truly is over
Wilt broke basketball. In his rookie season he averaged 37.6 points/27 rebounds.
The other thing no one's talking about here is how Pop's gonna retire when the SAS got to draft one's in a generation talent every decade😂
You don’t stop him, play physical, try to keep him shooting, box out, make him run around on defense you stop the others. He’s a freak of nature and we’ve never seen this before but this spurs team ain’t it, as constructed
KD is 7 foot at least he had his height stat changed so he can play SF, he hates playing center
Brandon Jennings dropped 55 in his 3 or 5th game I like vics game alot and his 38 is different from Jennings 55
Wilt scored 43 in his FIRST game.
Love VW - fun and frustrating to watch.
WHEN I SEE HOOPREPORT NOTIFICATION I CLICK
tall guy that shoots = breaking basketball :S
My Golden State Warriors Could Uses Victor Wembanyama In The Near Future
Devon booker was out the whole game
He has serious problem with strenght.i hope he can fix it.
Traveled into a three. Regardless, he's going to change to the game. Gotta draft to stop him.
okay nice video but how will this affect LeBron's legacy?
Waiting for your takes on this losing streak
Bro spurs are 3-11 rn
KD is 6'13"
I look forward to seeing Giannis guard him
Did anyone count how many times he said “guy”? Im curious
W video!
Hoop reports have u seen the warriors vs Nuggets game?
The refs made the warriors lose
bruh he's averaging 19, 9, and 2. yeah his future is really exciting, but jesus bro, dismount his meat. most current greats are busy averaging 30+ with more than 2 assist. Wemby isn't breaking shit yet
Daddy Longlegs.
Stop, stop, stop this! Wemby only scored 8pts, against OKC on Nov 14, 2023, while Chet scored 9pts.

He is great and very probably he will be the best one day but not today!
I think Chet is better. Chet’ seems to have better vision than Wemby who is just slightly more agile
Wemby doesn’t have the luxury of having an elite offensive player running the show let alone multiple good players who can do everything like OKC has
the only reason your are saying this is cuz chet is an american. If Vic was American and Chet French, you wouldn’t say that
Remember this is technically Chet’s 2nd year. He’s gotten a year worth of NBA knowledge, coaching, and strength training. With all that Wemby still looks like a better player. Players are not coming into the paint because of him.
W video
but mj had 37 in his 3rd game Wemby could never
MJ was also two years older.
So 6 inches is a lot ?
She was lying to you...
Is there a limit on foreign players in an All-Star game? Because if not that might become a pretty European affair in the future lol
Don't over hype the dude
Chet is averaging 1 less point on higher efficiency and more blocks
He is good rookie but no he isn't breaking nba
ok, so he just got demolished by the Pacers & Knicks .... calm down
Hi Hoop Reports I’m first
