What's really amazing about Wemby's block is that he does not try to do flash block which sends the ball to either opp or crowed. His blocks are either coming directly to him (by snatching) or toward his teammates. Smart BBIQ and efficiency.
@@JaydosCommentshe makes sure that when he blocks the ball he can generate offense off of it and keep possession of the ball instead of knocking it into the stand because the opposing team will still get the ball again if that happens.
His mother (former BB player and actual coach) decided he would play soccer as a goalkeeper when he was younger so he reads the ball trajectory very well and both arms are fast and accurate. It helps a lot now : he makes a lot of blocks and most of it aren't given back to the other team, whether he keeps the rock or deflects it towards a teammate. If you make 5 blocks but the other team have 4 second possibilities, it's useless. The number is important, the quality is even better.
the more Victor plays the more he seems to realize he doesn't really need to jump to block most shots and by standing his ground he can recover much faster, foul less and control the blocked shot.
@@danielprince229if you look at advance stats then you’d know he definitely didn’t deserve it last year. Block aren’t everything. A stop is a stop. Rudy was better last season.
As a diehard Spurs fan for over 2 decades it's weird seeing the league recognize one of our players. I'm used to them lurking in the standings and all media keeping quiet about them or barely mentioning them in the national spotlight. Now we have Wemby and a new team that won't be denied recognition its gonna take some getting used to but as I've been saying all my life: GO SPURS GO🎉🎉🎉
The spurs were getting (not that great) recognition during the big three era and before the Zaza-Kawhi injury. The time period between Kawhi and Wemby is a void in the Spurs franchise history that should be forgotten 🤣
Look at how smart he is.. he always makes sure that the ball still on the court and in his teammates's hands when he blocks someone That's crazy !! He also is way less jumpy, getting more active hands and understands way better the game.. He is gonna get better and better and I truly hope he'll be the next DPOY ! This kid is so entertaining to watch btw. Keep going Vic ! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It looks like he's adapting to the high-arching shots players started taking to get around Wemby's height. He's playing very smart and getting better at the game fast
And this is like half of his defensive plays. The other half is the fact that players would stop shooting when he's around and would kick the ball out to the perimeter.
Not only me but wemby has reignited the dying passion for many NBA fans. Generational talent. As a Jordan fan I want to thank the young man. What a joy to watch. 🙏🏻💯🏀🤠
That’s a good point. It seems that it would create lack of confidence within 8 feet of the rim. Unless someone can create like Kyrie or can just body him out of the way, it would be difficult to want to attempt a shot near the basket.
@@danielprince229bodying him out of what way ?? he could snatch the ball from any big from behind with his long ahh wingspan 💀😂😂😂 also Kyrie did in fact get lucky af
I'm mesmerized by the video, .. remember, these are top NBA players, the best in the world looking so helpless against him. I don't even care if he scores 10 points, his defense is otherworldly, and I've been watching a good bit, and what's not reported so much is how many shots and decisions he alters, crazy!! He was the best, most impactful defensive player in the league from the first minute of his first game in the league. The voters just didn't know what to make of him...
Defensively, i'll take Wemby today against any great defensive player that i've seen and i've been watching since Kareem was in LA. He can literally guard the 3 and the paint simultaneously. That is absolutely insane.
They robbed him last year he could’ve made history and been the first rookie to ever win defensive player of the year, which was well-deserved I can’t believe Rudy won he averaged 2.1 blocks a game when victor averaged literally 3.6 blocks a game and snatched 10.6 rebounds a game Rudy did have 12.9 rebounds a game but seriously it’s about defense not rebounding so victor clearly should have won defensive player of the year the NBA did him dirty victor literally made history and they didn’t give a fuck
It is going to be weird when he gets DPOY the year immediately afterward he should have gotten it anyway....all because he was a high draft pick, he got screwed🤷♂️.
Simply mesmeric. This guy... is really one of a kind. So much fun to watch him play sprint back on defense and sprint on transition after the blocks. He's a mantis out there.
And add a lot of situations where Wemby is just there near to the rim and people don't want to try the shoot cos he is there, that doesn't goes to stats
2023-2025 DPOY... They gave it to Gobert in '24 because his team played better team defense and the Spurs were a bottom 2 defensive team w/o Wemby on the court. I thought it was a Defensive PLAYER of the Year award... not Defensive TEAM of the Year award. Gobert aint even CLOSE to Wemby defensively. Not just blocked shots, altered or just shots that weren't even taken because the person Wemby was guarding just passed it.
I don't what's his craziest defensive stat from last year: - The Spurs recovered almost 70% of Wemby's blocks... when the league average is around 50% - Wemby had the highest block:foul ratio of any player in any season since blocks were first recorded as a stat
This is why I say KD is the best ROLE player of all time. His role is scoring. But he has never reached his defensive potential ever. Look at Wemby using his height to easily get blocks or defer the other players. KD could easily do it but we let him slide.
In 40 years this will be called the Wemby award
he will be the best defender in nba history by the time his career is over
@@jasonnewman2702or he could be injury prone
greatest take of all time
What's really amazing about Wemby's block is that he does not try to do flash block which sends the ball to either opp or crowed. His blocks are either coming directly to him (by snatching) or toward his teammates. Smart BBIQ and efficiency.
That's actually an insane skill
one could say its a "fundemental" block
Wdym?

These look like full season highlights but they all happened this month😭

It's appropriate that the future greatest defender of all-time wins the first ever Defensive Player of the Month.
What month was it.
🤣🤣🤣
*Future greatest of all time.
Faaaax
@JaydosComments October/November.
5:25 Just wanted to point out how quick Wemby reacted to get a second touch off his block so Looney couldn't get a putback. Actually insane.
the more Victor plays the more he seems to realize he doesn't really need to jump to block most shots and by standing his ground he can recover much faster, foul less and control the blocked shot.
That's nuts. I didn't notice that during the game
Dude’s gonna get DPOM 5 times this season and the DPOY as the cherry on top. All in his second season.
And everyone knows he should have had it last year, too.
Wemba will get all the DPOM this season and somehow Rudy gobert will win the DPOY like last time . Rigged as fk.
@@danielprince229if you look at advance stats then you’d know he definitely didn’t deserve it last year. Block aren’t everything. A stop is a stop. Rudy was better last season.

Must be talking about post Duncan era.. that big 3 was a dynasty always one of the favourites to win

You perfectly summed up how a die hard or SanAntonio native spurs fan feels
I remember the best to talk about was how fast Parker run/his teardrop shots and Manu's unexpected dunks and euros.
What the actual fuck are you talking about?

Im really glad hes on spurs. If it was on another team, he probably woudnt improve as much as he is now
This looks like a 2k comment
Block and Ball Possession is on point.

1 month of defensive highlights are more than most of nba player's entire career.
Dude got 9 blocks in a game, some DPOY players take a month to get this
A lot of wemby blocks is when he's not even at the rim. Cause when he's at the rim players don't even attempt a layup.
That’s a good point. It seems that it would create lack of confidence within 8 feet of the rim. Unless someone can create like Kyrie or can just body him out of the way, it would be difficult to want to attempt a shot near the basket.

One thing I’ve realized when Wemby gets a block how baffled the opposing team thinks it’s Goaltending lmao
Il va finir avec le plus grand nombre de contre en une saison et en carrière c'est un géant
wemby became a stepfather for the entire houston team
:D they're having nightmares. Other the course of 4 games he will have blocked each of them like 4 times it's insane.
Watching this top of his best defensive plays...for just 1 month 😲, I don't imagine a world where he doesn't get the DPOY award this year.
I'm mesmerized by the video, .. remember, these are top NBA players, the best in the world looking so helpless against him.

Rejecting a hook from another 7+ footer is nasty work
the defensive player of the month is also nearly the offensive player of the month! what a player Wemby is!
Defensively, i'll take Wemby today against any great defensive player that i've seen and i've been watching since Kareem was in LA. He can literally guard the 3 and the paint simultaneously. That is absolutely insane.
About to be defensive player of the century.
He just knows how to use his length so well active as hands and good timing
bruh than explain why all other bigs in the NBA don't know how to do the same ? 💀
@@stephouensahother nba “bigs” aren’t as tall and lengthy as wemby bro.. ad and other centers look normal size compared to wemby

You are 10000000% right on everything you said sir ..
Sad but also the future will prove that "just" being DPOY is nothing, we'll be in the talk for the GOAT conversation if no injuries
Wemby is the defensive player of the month every month, let's be real.
Until he retires
Bro yall better pay this kid alot of money
He’ll spend his money in a smarter way than Ja for sure
With the way inflations going, he’s going to be the first player with a billion dollar contract 😂
Oh he’s getting $300m max contract. It’s just a matter of time to let his rookie contract expire
Oh mama wembanyama 🎉😂
He's gonna be defensive player of the year for the next 15 years
Impressive #1 vic-tory
Wemby is the creator of the ''Poster Block''
FREAK NATURE 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He alters shots, blocks shots, quick second jump, excellent recovery and length. He’s a defensive specimen. GSG!
He plays like a center on defense and a small forward or guard on offense.
I'd love to see him play as a free safety 4 on defense too though like Giannis, feel like he'd really excell in that role
Exactly.
@@kennn30Wemby played the 4 some of last season and was great but the spurs defense improves when Wemby is playing the 5
NGL I wanna see the same plays with the opposing commentators, would be fun
It is going to be weird when he gets DPOY the year immediately afterward he should have gotten it anyway....all because he was a high draft pick, he got screwed🤷♂️.
DPOY ❤️🔥👏🙌😤
Its so natural for him
Wembanyama for MVP, MIP and DPOY of the Year
While his size definitely gives him a big advantage he still has to read plays, quick on his feet and get physical.
And much much better than other 7ft5" players that have passed on the league with any success, as you told it's all in how good he use his body
Alien blockbenyama could play for the MONSTARS. He's making grown men look like kids in the paint!
Simply mesmeric. This guy... is really one of a kind. So much fun to watch him play sprint back on defense and sprint on transition after the blocks. He's a mantis out there.
the hip flexibility is incredible. Elastic strength coupled with insane length makes him a nightmare on a BB court, nobody comes even remotely close.
Bro did Soo goood imma go to the NBA game
And it is only the top of the iceberg, there is so many action that were modified just by his presence on the court...trying to avoid a block...
Vamos Wemby!!!!!!
Should’ve had DPOY last year.
4:14 That sequence was basketball fighting at its very best, watching it live was insane
And add a lot of situations where Wemby is just there near to the rim and people don't want to try the shoot cos he is there, that doesn't goes to stats
his agent must sleep so well at night
Editor gonna be real tired of seeing Wemby cause he's gonna win this so often
We should call this 'Wemby of the month'
Wemby is awesome! I love watching the spurs! Except when they're playing the warriors! Hahah
Without him the Spurs would lose a lot more games, he is walking calmly to a really awesome career.
That sequence against utah @4:10 us funny stupid 😂
His Defensive Player of the Month highlights are far more impressive than last year’s DPOY's.
wemby mvp
Like I don’t know what people are thinking driving to the rim when he’s in the paint. That’s not just gonna work. Dude is a defensive demon
2023-2025 DPOY... They gave it to Gobert in '24 because his team played better team defense and the Spurs were a bottom 2 defensive team w/o Wemby on the court.

The only player in the NBA right now who i enjoy watching his defensive highlights more than his offense 😂😂😂
Damn!
6:38 I swear Jeremy sochan hates wemby. He gets the Caitlyn Clark treatment from his teammates😂
For real that annoyed the hell outta me , wide open fast break and you dish it to Harrison Barnes right next to you
Should have won DPOY in his rookie year
OFFENSE- PLAYS LIKE A 6'3 GUARD
DEFENSE- PLAYS LIKE A 7'5 CENTER
A true ALIEN
it's amazing how he is not even in the play then just gets in from nowhere
Wemby is 20 lol
it's fitting to gave the award to the person its named after.
As good as he is offensively, what makes me all fuzzy inside is watching how good he is defensively, a frickin Lawrence Taylor of basketball.
The floor for Wemby is greatest defensive player of all time...the ceiling, nobody knows
We really are witnessing the first years of a coming dynasty
Victor Wembymama
His one month of highlights is like another players entire career.
Futur dpoy 😊
Vas y Victor!! 💙🤍❤
Can we please put him on a good team. Do not waste your years. You can become a champion right now
i heard defensive player of the year am i right 😅
The BFV
The Victator
The Evictor
Dr Doom
Any of those would be fine
I like the Evictor
Before year 10, he’ll win the dpoy award 5 times
Homie a freaking WALL at rhe rim
Bro got a 2h highlight for first season by playing 1 2 half 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He will have at least 6 DPOY when he retires if he stays healthy.. Not only about blocks and steals but the shots he change..
I miss Bill Land
quadriple double in the making
Wemby is the real DPOY 2024.
I don't what's his craziest defensive stat from last year:
- The Spurs recovered almost 70% of Wemby's blocks... when the league average is around 50%
- Wemby had the highest block:foul ratio of any player in any season since blocks were first recorded as a stat
Bros DPOY for the next decade if he stays healthy
This is just one month ???? Oh mama, Wembanyama !
Interesting contrast with Dyson Daniels. Freakish height vs amazing speed and hands.
will have about 10 DPOY in the years to come. nobody is about to steal his throne anytime soon
Block monster
This is haw we do in 92
Look at 21 getting all those blocks…. Oh shit 🫡 look at 1 getting all those blocks 🙌🏼 proud to be a spurs fan
WemVP!!!!
Little man really tried to dunk on wemby like that 😂
Would be interesting to see him against prime shaq
Man this is so seek and clean 😂😂😂😂
Did y’all delete and reuploaded Wemby, Dyson, and McCain’s videos?
They absolutely did. I uploaded this long, stoned rant on Wemby in the comment section and I think it’s gone now 😏

The Rockets must hate the site of Wemby😂😂😂
Can someone explain why Wemby's post-game statistical block numbers are significantly lower than the actual number of blocks seen during the game?
for gambling？
Maybe they count some of those as steals?
