[Aubin] I asked Victor Wembanyama (in French) whether he considers there to be any rivalry between him and Chet Holmgren, and he was pretty clear: “No, I don’t think about that. At least from a basketball standpoint, there’s no comparison (between us)”.

1. I mean hes right wemby is a way better version of chet and its not even close especially defensively we saw that tonight and pretty much every match up, while wemby is seeing way more defensive attention.

2. Maybe it’s just a slight mistranslation but “no comparison” is savage 

3. Common Wemby W

4. I like when players dont like each other

5. Wemby is gonna be a polarizing figure in the league and people won’t have expected it lol.

   But a lot of us are all for it. This isn’t a controversial statement whatsoever though. But he does like telling it how it is lately.

6. Does Wemby hate Chet more than Kerr hates Kuminga?

7. While he is not lying he is miles better as a player and is only going to get better too

8. I know it rubs some people the wrong way but I love Wemby’s brute honesty. I would rather a player be honest about what he thinks about a rival or anther team then give a out a generic pr answer.

9. were people putting “chet holmgren” in Victor Wembanyama talks? LOL

10. TALK YO SHIT

11. he’s not wrong, at the beginning it seemed like maybe there was some chet vs wemby, but wemby is leagues better, offensively and defensively

12. Why do these reporters keep asking this

13. Every time OKC plays the Spurs their GM is going to be side-eyeing that 50 mil that they’re paying Chet per season

14. Can’t wait for the documentary 20 years from now when that clip is shown and Victor says to the camera, “Et je l’ai pris personnellement.”

15. Bro is so ready for his giga villain arc

16. The Secret Base *Beef History* video in a couple years is gonna go so hard. I already pictured how they might mention the debut of the new celebration after the win tonight.

    “Wemby and Chet swore there was no bad blood between themselves and their teams… then after the Spurs beat the Thunder for the second time in 10 days, Wemby and the Spurs debuted a new tradition where they would beat a massive drum along to a clapping crowd after winning a game.”

17. Chet is the role player version of wemby

18. This guy is the Joe Mazulla of NBA players (calculated personality)

19. Aka Wemby wants to be in conversation with Giannis and SGA, but they keep asking about Chet

20. Chet Holmgren: “You’ve beaten me at my own game”

    Victor “Azula” Wembanyama: “You were never even a player”

21. No lies detected

22. High key, Wemby is yung Zen Master 2.0 with the media.

    He’s trying to destabilize the chemistry of his adversary, IMO.

23. Wemby has to remind everyone he’s French everyone now and then.

24. This “rivalry” is so contrived. Chet said he hasn’t said more than a sentence to him.

25. Anyone who’s actually bother watching them knows this is true. Wemby is just better. Which doesn’t mean chet isn’t good, he’s just not on the same tier as wemby, they only get compared because of height.
