  3. Stabile and flexible ankles. Now obviously he could definitely work to improve his foot placement, but there’s so many players that can’t withstand stuff like this because they don’t have the conditioning that wemby has

  6. I don’t think it’s the ankle rolling more than the shoe itself sliding. Probably the lateral force on the shoe and its size must have something to do with it. 

  7. I don’t think anyone in the NBA focuses on foot/ankle strength and flexibility more than Wemby.

  8. I never noticed this but I’m a bit scared. Hopefully the team doctors see this so they can assess the situation

  10. SGA does this a million times per game. Yes you don’t love it but it’s kinda normal for them and their conditioning/training helps

  12. Might be the shoes. I bought some Nikes recently that have a ton Of cushion and lifted so rolling ankle is easier.

  15. No expert at all but it looks like the heel is planted, so the ankle is not under strain, but the front of the foot is sliding. If that’s the case that’s Nike problem to solve.

  16. Nike gotta figure this shit out, I feel like a firmer lower profile shoe would be better, looks like the foam getting to compressed or his feet are sliding around in the front of the shoe

  17. yeah, several people mention this as not abnormal and all that, but I. Do. Not. Want. to see it. I realize we can’t wrap the dude in bubble wrap, but don’t show me potential sprains happening every time Wemby puts the screw to some defender.

  18. Looks pretty normal to me he just has big ass feet so it looks exaggerated. Most players have this happen when they make quick cuts and movements like that too. You can it happen to whoever is guarding him too

  20. I like his new aggressive and driving style but he also increases injury risk. I’d rather him balance his game little bit more.

  24. It’s the shoes. Look up the reviews for the GT Hustle 3. They have a lot of cushion. But reviewers mention the instability and ankle rolling risk.

  26. on the pre game he was putting on some think ankle sleeves so that prolly give him enough support when mixed with his flexibility.

  27. Yall are freaking out for no reason my goodness man. It’s always been like this. He just has big feet.
