I recently discovered Kenny's other channels and got-damn, this dude building a whole media empire on his own.
He is the GOAT
I just discovered him and all of his other channels at the end of last year, he’s definitely one of my favorite UA-camrs now. No drama, no agendas, just hoops.
He's doing what he enjoys, talking and studying the NBA. He rather not post my league stuff
@@CGProds.other than bulls propaganda 😂😂
I try to watch every video on every channel. I love the guy's energy, his love of the game, and I'm a Bulls fan.
Victor is actually the DPOY for me, simply because he is making - by far - the biggest individual difference on the defensive end of any player. And it's not just his blocks and steals, either, it's the fact that player simply aren't taking shots they otherwise would when he is on the court, he just warps the game with his presence.
In terms of individual impact, yeah hes#1. But historically, the dpoy hasnt gone to someone whos team defensive rating is in the bottom 10. Even though yes utbis an individual award
@@MuttonErase The precedent criteria should honestly be irrelevant here since Wemby himself is unprecedented lol
Wemby bends offenses the way Curry bends defenses. Top draft picks usually go to shit teams, and there has never been a rook that had this kind of impact. Time to change the game.
@@MuttonErase the thing is that when wemby is on the court they are a top 5 in defense (or were atleast). when he is off they drop down.
@arvidbjoerk5307 last i checked with him on they hold teams to league average scoring. With him off teams score at the same pace as the pacers. Its an 8 points/100 pos diff
The city of San Antonio is asking for patience, but ESPN profit must be maximized
This is what real sports journalism looks like. This is straight facts and luckily Wemby has the maturity to see through the short sighted takes by ESPN and company. The idea that they need to rush into trading for win now players is the same exact mistake that the Mavs and the Hawks are still hurting from making years prior. This is his rookie season… The spurs have multiple first round picks both this year and next year 2025. They will have the pieces to build a dynasty around developing players that all fit the same timeline. Getting Wemby was only step 1, and they aren’t skipping any steps.
this isnt journalism, it's analysis 🤦
@@HughWanztino imagine being a semantics geek AND wrong at the same time
@@HughWanztino Look up digital journalism. It'll rock your world since you seem so confident
I couldn't agree more. ESPN's on-air journalism is simply a theatrical circus act that sensationalizes drama and bs narratives. It has single handedly converted the majority of NBA fans into people that can't think for themselves and just love gossip, rather than analyzing the game and reading between the lines (or in this case, stats). Kenny is a breath of fresh air from all of this junk.
@@corey6572 i like kenny's content but when has he ever broken any news that he didnt curate from another source? he takes other people's news and analyzes it. imma play semantics when people are going to say what "real journalism" is when they don't even know the difference between journalism and analysis. most of espn is not journalism to begin with, its analysis, which is why much of it is just nonsense. analysis is opinion not news, and is what kenny is.
What’s the word yall 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Victor Wembanyama love the city of San Antonio and they love him, after we got done with rodeo here he hadn’t played a game here for almost a whole month and he said that he missed the city and loves the energy of this place. I just moved here 3 years ago and the energy since he got here has been insane, I remember when he got drafted people were driving around honking at 3am and waving spurs flags, signs all over the city saying “welcome wembanyama” and I’ve never seen that kind of hospitality before for a kid haha!😂 I’m not a spurs fan by any means (slowly turning, waiting for the sonics to come back) but I love that I’m gonna live here during his era and I don’t think he’s going anywhere for at least a decade, we about to secure another top 5 pick and Greg about to make some great moves.
Just build a Godd*mn new classical art museum or opera house and he set there for life.
@@refkiriswansyah2830 😂😂😂 I think he’s gonna be all cowboyed out and a true Texan by the end of his career like Luka lol.
The Sonic's are definitely one of the most respected teams in San Antonio, and I know a few Sonic's fans that have SA as their honorary #2 so welcome to the culture lol
@@chadfookilroy2015 thanks for welcoming me, it’s great culture on both sides for sure.
I remember seeing a Wemby mural somewhere in Downtown and it made me so happy. I've been living in san antonio for 12 years and this is by far the most interest the Spurs have gotten in my memory.
The Luka Doncic dilemma is a real thing. The New Orleans pelicans went through the same thing with Anthony Davis by being impatient. You should draft young talent and build a strong foundation as opposed to trying to cash in on things that aren’t promised. The Spurs know this better than anyone else in the league.
but the spurs already have vassell, sochan and another top 5 pick next draft and even a top 7-10 if the Raptors pick conveys, Spurs got the 3 Hawks frps, giving them all that back + another 1-2frps possibly would not hurt the spurs draft assets at all and we already have a plethora of solid young guys around wemby, luka situation is very different from this.
@@kisuhara7844 The Hawks would surely want all their picks back plus one of those young players and at least that Raptor’s pick. Trae Young and Wemby would be great, but the name of the game is being flexible as a franchise too, whether it be going after a player you want or signing who you need in FA
@@kisuhara7844sure, if and only if, all their picks are as good as they hope.
The problem with picks are, it all just have uncertain value. Sure it can be predicted (hence why top pick worth more), but the actual available talent you could get is very unpredictable. 1st pick in a random year could be worse than 5th pick in another year, and vice versa (just see what Warriors get with Covid year 1st pick).
In building a team with picks, the more you have the better your odds. There's cant be too much pick. At least thats how OKC did it, and look at them now. The problem is just to train & grow them & give them playing time...but that problem is for later after you already get your players.
Also the spurs are much more reliable drafters than dallas
There’s two situations you don’t want to go through. The Luka/LeBron Dilemma and the Giannis Dilemma.
The Giannis situation was just luck stumbling on him not thinking he’d actually be a top 75 all time player and landing Khris as a throw-in but missing on every single first round draft pick post Giannis is criminal behavior. Giannis showed immediate improvement in 2016 and they still drafted Thon Makur…
Facts. Everyone's so impatient. Pop had Sochan running point and everyone hated it but it gave him more ball handling skills. The Spurs know what they're doing, it got them 5 titles, I'm sure they're gonna handle this well too
West is definitely too stacked to rush right now. Fortify the team and once the legacy players finally retire, dominate.
I don't agree with Sochan running point as it's clearly hindering Wemby, but I guess it's good to develop Sochan in other ways.
@@CGProds. It was never about him being their new pg, just an exercise in getting Sochan reps with the ball and increasing his feel for the game. They've been running Tre at the point for months now
No way the bots got to Kenny😭
Right? Like some of these comments look suspect 😂
Been watching Kenny’s rebuilds for years good to see him thriving man got so much channels doing so well so happy to see he’s the goat of Yt
If Wemby was drafted to the pistons and they lost 26 straight games I’d definitely vote for him leaving, but Spurs are a dynasty franchise
Kenny you’re unreal man. Just became a fan a couple months ago and wow you drop so much quality content 👌
My issue is that Tre Jones just isn't a good enough shooter to put pressure on the defense and be a real starting offensive threat. We definitely need another point guard so we can put Tre in a "TJ McConnell" type role
You nailed it, baby! Man, the noise is loud from those who say they can win more games with Wemby than Pop. I’ve heard Pop say fans need to be patient, etc. Few understand him. But you do! Keep up the great work!
Keep it up Kenny. U the man!!!! Gotta meet u one day
Yes sir. You have broken this down with excitement and almost pinpoint accuracy is to what needs to happen. I think the NBA needs to look into you there my man. You got some ideas like my boy set up above us. This man about to make his own media empire. Keep it up brother. You're doing awesome. Thank you!
Kenny will never get the recognition that he deserves, as he speaks too much fact and doesn't use the shitty narratives and storylines that the majority of on-air analysts and commentators do.
Whats kinda crazy about Trae is he was Luka before Luka, in the sense he got to a conference final before him, but its weirdly kindave been used against him since its now been two years in a row he hasn't made it back
This is a phenomenal take Kenny, you really opened my eyes
GO SPURS GO 🏀
i definitely think patience is better but seeing young and wembenyama would still be sweet
I have eaten countless meals to the sound of Kenny’s voice
Topic, Vassel, Sochan, Flagg, Wemby in 2025-2026 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And we back! 🔥
PGs are incredibly difficult to find and even harder to groom. If the Hawks are willing to send them Trae Young, a multi time All Star and ECF Finalist, for draft picks and no Vassell, they'd be extremely foolish not to accept
1:47 Trae Young? You thinking abt that ttw fantasy future 🤣
KENNY!!!
Your my favorite 2k UA-camr ever
The Spurs are a team that have shown they know how to build potential dynasties and i believe this won’t be any different. They are a big enough market to be able to take things slow and use the draft/free agency while letting Wemby develop into a superstar
I think they could do both. Draft a top 5 rook and use the unprotected Atlanta pick plus other assets to nap Trae Young in a deal. If Spurs get a great young wing to pair with a great young PG and center PLUS they still have their draft picks and other assets? Chet vs Wemby for a decade.
I mess with this
Kenny keep up the good work man sorry for the comment on twitter yesterday about the Knicks it’s all love man 🙏🏽
A Darius garland trade looks enticing js cuz the spurs could keep that projected 3rd overall pick and land a pg that fits the youth movement
poetry
Kenny you should make a video about the 90s don’t matter trend going around
My conclusions are a little different. The Rockets game showed how you beat SA: collapse around Wemby and dare SA to out shoot you. That tells me that the priority is not a guard, but a high scoring wing that the opposition has to come out and guard. Putting aside the mistakes a young team makes, you see a couple of things. First, when SA shoots well as a team, they can beat anyone. When they don’t shoot well, they can’t beat anyone. This team badly needs 1-2 more dependable shooters. SA has guards that are showing promise and my feeling it that Atlanta would just want too much for a trade to make it worthwhile. Even more than improved guard play, SA also needs a better second unit that does not did holes that the first unit has to overcome. In short, there are bigger priorities than guard.
Kenny the GOAT 🐐
More Spurs fans need to hear this explanation
wemby and mamukelashvili boutta be a duo
I totally agree
Listening to Vic talk I think he is ready to be patient. Of course he wants to win but he seems mature enough to not go running to the nearest playoff team when the opportunity comes. He seems ready to bring San Antonio greatness once again, but things change. As of right now I think he will wait, and continue to dominate, until a great team forms around him.
Hi mr Beechum
The media wants the Spurs to speedrun the rebuild because that's what the media does. Gotta get that instant gratification. These same media members would be the very ones to call Wemby a bust as soon as he fails to win with a quick-rebuild team not realizing that it just doesn't seem to work most of the time.
Of the top 3 teams in each conference, only Boston didn't do the traditional rebuild. Cavs, Bucks, OKC, Twolves, and Nuggets all followed the typical strategy and are killing it now. It takes time to build championship teams.
I get what you are saying, but Wemby is different to the others you mentioned as he likely won’t have a long career. That’s why it’s on the clock to match him with other talents. I sure hope he has a long career but statistics don’t look good on very tall players
When you said Trey Young first I’m like what did I miss lol
Wouldn’t be the first to take the year 5 QO. Both Rasho Nesterovic and Michael Olowokandi di, for sure, and I think some others did, too.
The reality is that only your drafting team, or a team that trades for you from your drafting team can offer the SuperMax. He’s not dumb to leave that on the table.
So many people are saying SA needs to play fast around vic cuz he's gonna leave if they keep being bad but that's where they're mistaken.
Wemby is not that kinda player, he said it multiple times but he really likes San Antonio, he loves Pop, he is there for the long game.
Trae would be an amazing addition to the roster (especially if the pick they get next draft is as good as we can hope goven their standing) but any more than that and it's risky when you could just wait a year or two more and ensure a real dynasty
The natural process is the most effective way to win championships.
WHATS THE WORD YALLLLLLL
dpoy?!? 👀
There’s also the Orlando Magic method of barely missing playoffs with rookie Shaq and then still winning the lottery and picking penny hardaway.
Premature.
Wembanyama's rookie stats (so far): 29 minutes per game, 20.7ppg on 47% shooting, 10rpg, 3apg, 1spg, 3bpg.
Ralph Sampson's rookie stats: 33 minutes per game, 21ppg on 53% shooting, 11rpg, 2apg, 1spg, 2bpg
Can’t lie man the rent must be due
They should tank next season to try and get cooper flag. That front court gon feed families for the next 10 years
Love that Kenny keeps sayin trae young instead of tre jones
Isnt it ironic though that you did trade for trae young in your main channel video? Just saying
I believe Alexander Sarr would be great he’s projected to be first pick in the draft and his really good as a small forward . What do you think ?
Luka Trap aka LeBron Conundrum.
A rookie so good that it makes the team not bad enough to get top picks but also not enough to immediately get to championship (no body can do it all alone, even in sorry conference like East in 2000s). Practically bind their own team about how to surround them with quality players & create a team.
Good draft? They literally cant. They are too good to get top draft. Hoping to get star or even quality player in 10-20th pick is just asking/depending too much on luck. Not every 10th pick are like Steph and Klay.
Trade asset? Sure they can, but the only good player are the said rookie franchise player. The others has no significant value (thats how they could become so bad to get him in the first place). The only asset is pick, which wont worth much because they are good.
Free agent? Maybe if you're lucky. But most good players always bound by contract by their own team. Even if they want to go, most of them just do sign & trade to at least help their previous team to recover asset (considering they have good/helthy enough relationship & communication with the player).
Yeah okc are definitely building a super team that’s why they haven’t sent any of there first rounders out at the trade deadline, they can get another super star in just the next season…. Scary lol
Giving Rudy another Dpoy when all of his feel stolen already is ridiculous
Delusional 😂
I'm still sick gobert got it over ben simmons that one year. Say what you want about ben now but he was a monster defensively specifically in passing lanes and the perimeter
not making the video 8 minutes is crazy lmaooo
Bro I went to the Warriors game and both Curry and Wemby were out hurt. Dam shame
The bird
I think luka and mavs are having same problem LeBron and cavs did when they drafted him..They are so good that they can make a lottery team a playoff team but not good enough to contend..So they cant good picks to build and at the same time team is not good enough to win..So they'll try getting players through trade which is hit/miss and expensive in terms of picks/assets..
Wembanyama is the truth. I went from being a hater to a fan. Too bad he's on the Spurs, one of the top 3 teams I hate.
where does he get those stats
I don’t see a world where the spurs would mess this up. They’ve gotten it right too many times to mess up that badly.
Trae-wemby would go crazy🔥
Won't happen tho
They should definitely explore all possibilities but avoid the Luka trap.
I’ve been saying since they got Wemby that they need to DRAFT a pg (my money is on Isaiah Collier) and NOT waste picks/assets for someone like Trey. BE PATIENT.
trading for a star pg who has proven he can bring a team far in the playoffs isnt a waste they have plenty of draft picks and trae is a top playmaker averaging ELEVEN assists you dont just draft a guy who is 2nd in assists in the entire league
Yeah Trae is also first in turnovers in the league, and Wemby is 4th. And trae wants the ball and so does Wemby. Trae to Spurs helps Trae not the spurs. Getting into the playoffs and winning it is two different things. Trae is like a 2.5 assists to 1 turnover guy. Haliburton is a 10 assists to 1 turnover guy. Trae not that good @@Jeremy-ot6pb
@@Jeremy-ot6pb Even with Trae, the rest of the team I believe is a bit too weak to get far in the playoffs. I'd rather they draft up a bunch of good players to build a much stronger bench and supporting cast and then trade for stars to fill the gaps in 2025-2026
@@Jeremy-ot6pbThe game isn't won with 2 players.
100% be patient
talk about the pelicans kenny no one has talked about us
Zion good 😊
As a Spurs fan, I think the best option for us is to do both go get Trae Young, but also don’t trade everything. Right now you can say that this is really got four main pieces on the roster for that potential contender roster on the team. With Trey Jones, Devin, Wemby, and Jeremy. Possibly Keldon Johnson as well. Now spurs still need 5 more spots so adding Tre young won’t hurt to have right now and the future as it gives a shooter and playmaker to go with Tre jones. Adding topic or any of the other top 3 players in this draft would fit along.
It just makes sense to add Trae Young if we also get the Raptors pick because Now we could trade that pic to get Trae Young, including additional assets and having a top 10 pick means, giving up less first round picks for Trae Young. Instead of giving like three first on pics now having a top 10 pic means only giving up two.
what bothers me about Trae Young is his defense - he is not as bad as he used to be, but he is still bad enough to be hunted for, and that's not something that a championship contender can allow
WE DONE WIT THE 90s🗣️
I disagree on multiple points and u will probably never see this so whatever but:
The mavs problem is not that they were too good too soon because of luka, it was that they constantly made horrible FO decisions, wether it is letting brunson go or keeping porzingis even after he purposefully didn't try in the clippers series. They made the WCF with brunson and suddenly let him walk, he becomes a all nba player and leads NY to the playoffs.
The Thunder are a very particular case is that they can afford losing because they had 27 picks in the next 10 years , and they are anyways not continuing the tank even tho they still have priceless nets picks and clippers pick, so they are indeed moving to competition (see Hayward trade) just at a slower pace
The spurs s best picks are gonna be the Atlanta and Toronto+ Charlotte one they have..not their own...they can comfortably start winning and still get a top pick from either of 3 later on or trade them and still tank with their new addition.
Kenny take 2
Does anyone know why he hasn't played the last 2 games ?
Trae and Wemby would be an awesome pairing but I gotta say as a Hawks fan that thy have said NOTHING about trading Trae, 100% of the trade rumors surrounding him the last few years are motivated outside of ATL. I wish people would acknowledge that instead of acting like it’s a foregone conclusion
WE DONE WITH THE 90S BTW
He is actually 20.
7:28 That’s the long and short of the argument. I would be super annoyed if BW expedited the process and costs us a future dynasty. Obvious the draft is a crapshoot, but I’ll much prefer to rely on it than trading everything to try and acquire stars that just might not work.
You just explained why Spurs should go all in Early. If Vic is generational like luka They gone be in purgatory like Dallas 😂
Stop spouting logic. ESPN doesn’t want to hear it. lol
Seriously though, this is spot on . San Antonio’s front office agrees with you, and rightly so.
Hello
I feel like the amount of rings the media thinks a person needs to win to meet expectations leads to these situations when MJ and LeBron wasn’t winning championships right away
If Wemby puts on Weight + The Spurs acquire Trae Young
=Dynasty
Wemby is already very strong, him putting on weight would increase his risk of lower body injuries.
@@thetruth4654 not really. The stronger the better, you gotta remember the dude is still young af.
@@thetruth4654 perfect example:
Giannis
Nah you need great role players for a dynasty not just 2 stars
Trae Young + draft a 3&D like Risacher in this year’s draft. More than enough
Leave Danny Green out of it, he was the only sane person there.
Tre Young😂
ah yes, starting point guard for the spurs Trae Young!
Nah the hawks wont trade trigger trae
this is the same thing that happened to lebron too
what you really have to do, is see how good wemby is next year, if it seems like youre going to win too many games to get a good pick, but not enough games to be a top 4 seed (like if it looks like your going to win from 37-45 games)
you sit down wemby after the "ASB" for "knee soreness" or whatever, and make sure taht you only win 20 games and get another good pick.
kenny, its called tanking, and the spurs brass and pop are very familiar
I do not like it when teams would deliberately tank and do what the 76ers did for a very long time.
Victor is on a time limit... He can be Yao Ming... If sas would tank for 2 more seasons, it might just be too late.
It is hard to play just to lose.
Just because wemby is a great defender doesnt mean you should attach a fkn anchor to his leg on that end before he even gets to prime out on defense. Id rather the spurs buy low on giddey, buy SUPER LOW on poole, or pay for caruso and then probably overpay and keep caruso
14-50
Charlotte get the pick back and more to build around Brandon miller and melo is with Vic
Trae and Brandon Ingram to the Spurs
Hi Kenny
I’ve been saying that we don’t need a scoring pg because the play style of Tre jones is a perfect fit imo, in other words we just need a better Tre jones.
Trae is one of the best passers in the league regardless of being a scoring pg
@@Harry-hf5hv I agree he’d be a pretty good fit especially in the pick and roll but at the same time it’s not like with him we’re winning a ring, so maybe it’s better we stay patient instead of winning just to not have a lottery pick
@@chrishernandez6010 i agree tbh. I think the fit is great but the rest of the team not there yet, I'd only trade for him if they can get a steal.
I do think they could start contending by year 3 of wemby tho so it's only one more year of tanking
trae is a better tre jones lol
This thumbnail is a bit to far kenny
i disagree, the thing is we already have Vassell and Sochan + another top 5 pick this season, Wemby is ready and if the Spurs want to compete we are also ready to get Trae Young, we can get him for like 3-5 frps and that shit wont hurt our draft assets.
if we can get trae for a solid package i’m game. if they ask too much for trae it’s not the end of the world if we don’t get him.
I only want the spurs to get 15 more wins next year
