The fact that I could make an 8 minute video of Wemby blocks in his ROOKIE SEASON is mind blowing to me 🤯🤯

This comment was... BLOCKED BY WEMBANYAMA

[robertsmithson]

Is there a statistical category for 'blocks and regains possession'? Because if it doesn't exist, someone needs to create it to quantify how much more valuable Wemby's blocks are than anyone else's. So many blocks (in fact most of Victor's early in the season) end up going into the crowd, but Wemby is just pinning shots against the backboard or flipping it to a teammate. It's absolutely insane how he can get more blocks per game than anyone else in the league, and then decide "nah that's not enough" and so regain possession on almost all of them.

[elliotdeltoro]

It’s not just his sheer height and length, it’s his reaction timing and defense IQ combined with his hustle.

[cristianalvarez]

When 3 blocks is a bad night for him, that's your DPOY

[kingj]

Imagine playing against this guy and he snatches your fadeaway jumper out of the air....

[denism.]

NBA: defence is not fun for the fans
Wemby: hold my blocks

[rtgredtruck]

The compilation of Wembanyama’s blocks by the end of his career is going to be 10+ hours.

[sayros]

0:33 Look at the immediate change of space with his footwork. It's just so much more than the height, the balance, footwork, anticipation, he's a DPotY his rookie season. Unreal!

[siphillis]

I like how some of these have incorrect whistles because even the refs can't believe a human being just did that legally.

[Nate_Squared]

This is probably what Wilt looked like. Haven’t seen much of his play but I can imagine how dominant he was near the rim.

[lordoneil]

He rly love basketball. Both defense and attack, he truly like what he does, where he play. Thats the difference. He put his freaking heart into the court every match.

[jakexpalace]

I love how everyone tries to body him and he just absorbs it and blocks the shot anyways 😂

[CrimsonUniverse]

I LOOOOVE it when some idiots out there are like, “Of course he gets a lot of blocks, he’s 7’4!!”

And then you’re just like, “Ok, so why wasn’t Yao Ming an amazing shot blocker?”

Then they’re like, “I mean, he’s not just 7’4, he also has an 8’ wingspan!”

And then you’re like, “So why wasn’t Tacko Fall an amazing shot blocker?”

Then they go silent.

dude is a legit DPOY in his rookie season. he can protect the rim, switch on the small, everything.

[slavdog]

The amount of times the spurs retain possession after a block is insane

[jasdhindsa]

I was hooked on steph's insane 3 pointer videos thought nothing will come close to that ever. But then wemby cane and just started swatting and boy is it fun. Cant wait for the next season. THE SEASON OF SWATTING. 👽👽

This kid is just so incredible for so many reasons. He doesn't just get fingers on a ball and mess up shots. The amount of contact, redirection, and control he gets on these blocks make them practically steals! His blocks are out of the world, and it's just his rookie season! It would almost be enough on its own to make him a valuable pick, but then we add on that he's shooting 46% FG, 32% from 3, getting tons of rebounds? He's honestly such a menace. I would be terrified to go up against this guy. Teams are going to need unique gameplans just to work around his play and even then, he's still just such a solid player, he can bring value regardless. I especially think he carries his height in an unassuming way and that surprises people a lot. The way he holds himself when he's in an athletic posture disguises his size. So when people are going up near him thinking they're in the clear, the amount he can elevate just by literally standing up straight is surprising a lot of shooters and drives. It happened constantly in this clip, it's going to keep happening. I'm no spurs fan but this kid is amazing and I can't wait to see his continued growth and potential.

Angles that players are used to taking and have a 'shot' at scoring is completely off the table with Wemby. He makes players play a different game than they are used to. Wild

[adic]

This dude is fundamentally changing the game single handedly. I've never seen someone of that tall so nimble and fast. Is this the start of another Spurs dynasty?
