  4. Someone tell me how could a team that played in the finals last season. The pacers lose one player Tyreese and be this horrible 🤢 the next season with the same team.!! Minus ➖ 1

  7. I feel sorry 😞 for Flagg because based on the strength of the Teams in the western conference. The mavericks thought 💭 AD would be their Anchor ⚓️. And now he’s a wizard. Thunder vs Spurs western conference finals. And I wouldn’t put money 💴 on either team it’s a toss up. But this version of victor will be hard to stop 🛑.!!

  9. You have a huge liability on defense in Brunson and KAT. You can’t have KAT on the floor or teams will target him like they did in the conference finals. He could not guard screen roll. Now throw in one of the worst defensive guards in the league in Brunson. You can’t play two guys like that on the floor at the same time in the playoffs

  14. We 'll see how much championship he will win, Duncan set his standard already. Even in retirement players have to defend what they have already accomplished.

  17. I'm a Frenchman, and for Wemby to be in the same discussion as Tim Duncan, he needs to lead his teams to at least 3-4 championships.

    Wembanyama may have a more extensive skill set with his three-point shooting and better dribbling (the advantage in midrange is debatable), but until he elevates his franchise to the same heights and longevity that Duncan achieved during a time of strong competition among big men (Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard), I cannot place Wemby on the same level as Duncan.
    He has a long way to go before reaching that point.

  20. Everyone is so concerned with this dude like he’s the best player since Kobe or Jordan. lebron still in the league & hooping like he was in his prime. Till he reaches that level he’s just another tall player ain’t nothing special about him to me. The people who ride him so hard gonna be real sick the day he get a career ending injury I don’t see the hype especially when there are more exceptional players & more coming in to the league.

  21. This guy is 7'5 He better average that a game with today game. The only thing that I'm impressed about with him is his dribbling skills shooting touch. But everything else should be expected with his size.

  26. Knicks lost their mental toughness from last year. They can win games when the shots are dropping. But their defense is poor, and they can be sloppy for stretches. So much for preventing injuries with a deeper bench, still seeing players miss a lot of games.

  40. That's why Lakers will never win another real championship – they're quitters. All pooped their pants when they knew Wemby was coming to town and sat all their starters.

  45. First of all it wasnt a travel. He used his gather step which happened at the three point line then after he gathers the ball he used his legal two steps to get into the paint. Now i know it seems impossible to reach the rim from the three point line in less than 3 steps but we are not looking at a normal player he are watching an alien

  47. Past big men of the Spurs didn't have to drop 40 to win. The play style didn't allow for them to take 4 to 7 three-point attempts per game. Robinson, Duncan or Aldridge weren't allowed to bring the ball up and shoot at will. Comparing eras, rosters, players, coaching styles is just an absurd conversation. There was a time when you could only dribble with one hand. There was a point where no shot clock existed. Game evolution brings about statistical change.
