as long as he's healthy he's a guaranteed legend in the making

You could tell Booker expected the Spurs to crumble when the Suns tied it up at 116 all. Wemby simply wouldn't allow it. Incredible stuff. What a player.

[laxusdreyar]

What impressed me more than the 38 points, was his mentality. The Suns were making a run in the 4th, making a come back and equalized. But Wemby stepped up and took over. That is a mindset of a winner. The pressure did not crumble him, instead made him better.

[reedykat]

This kid is the future of the NBA and I’m here for it.

[urqzetp]

MAY HE BE PROTECRED FROM INJURIES!!!! IM LITERALLY GETTING GOOSEBUMPS!!!

[adauchiha]

The best thing is that when he dunks he’s so aware of his landing and because of his height he can just drop down so softly, he’s protecting his body well and won’t get injured easily

[realthirdiepie]

Wemby is literally the guy we want to create in 2k, tall af, can shoot 3's, dunks the ball everytime, dribble the ball and block shots. A perfect specimen.

[jerryhayes]

He's a cartoon character come to real life. Been watching BB since i was a kid. I'm 66, never seen anything like this kid in my entire life. Absolutely unbelievable.

[pepegalvan_]

No matter what team you support, every time you see players like this you enjoy…

[YungBxndit]

His confidence this game was marvellous. Overtime he’s going to be GREAT.

[NoFrills-dvih]

He's the real deal. Pounds the paint AND runs the floor AND creates his own shots behind the line. I hope he can stay healthy.

[devonavant]

He's very well coached! Once you get over his physical presence, you can see the intangibles he brings to the game. Shoot off the dribble, catch and shoot, quick post reads, rim runs, comes off hard on screens, rotates quickly on help defense. He's the Truth.

[ReactionNation]

Finally a player who understands his length. Posting up smaller players and keeping the ball high. On defense he has good awareness and can cover the paint while simultaneously closing out to perimeter shots if need be. Its just insane watching this kid play.

[fbistatmajor]

He's like Kevin Durant mixed with Kareem. Absolutely game breaking talent. Spurs are going to wind up being the third team to double digit titles at this rate

[manen.]

What's even crazier about Wemby is that he's so clutch. Suns were making a run in the 4th and Wemby came in and shut that shit down. Future 🐐

[cftvdata]

Watching this and involuntarily shaking my head the whole time. I'm just blown away. He doesn't have a ceiling. That whole concept has been shattered by this kid. He can be **anything** he wants to be in this league. Nobody who can alter that shot can keep up with him. Genuine insanity.

[bitxhplz]

the scariest part about his game is, he always shows up when the team needs him, especially during the 4th quarter. That's some star quality that u doesn't see in rookies.

[Zander]

The lobs are insane. If Victor is in the paint, you can throw it to the moon and he’s gonna come down with it. 😂

[lirpa]

Wembanyama is a once in a generation talent. I Never wanna hear the name Bol Bol spoken in the same sentence ever again

[greatestshowonpaper]

I am not even a Spurs fan but have watched almost every game this year simply cause of this dude. Something special. Hope it lasts a long time!
