How does Victor Wembanyama impact the Spurs even off the bench?
How you feel today, sis?
Sometimes I just look at you right before we go, and we both kind of lock eyes, like we're at the get-out party, the get-out barbecue. And we just start cracking up, and I don't even know if we're cracking up at the same thing.
What number jersey do you have on for the Orlando Magic? It's not five. Is it Penny?
Come on, man. Is it Penny? It's Penny. Penny Hardaway. Yeserski.
I thought it was maybe going to be Jalen Suggs, who talk about men that need to come on home, was absolutely going bananas in the NBA Cup before he ended up getting hurt, Juju.
Exactly, bro. We're going to go straight to the cup, man, because, bro, this cup has become entertainment. And I know around the world we get flack about, man, this NBA cup don't count. Or the Lakers, they hung up the banner and they damn thing. Newsflash, America. You only call it the Super Bowl because one day they called it the Super Bowl and they still doing it. I got more news. You know, all those messy raising the cup over there. Oh, international La Liga. I don't know what none of that shit mean. I just respect the cup being raised. You feel me? So. I feel like in 20, 30 years, we ain't going to be like this don't count, especially if we getting this type of tournament involved every single season.
You already know where I want to go. You got that look on your face, a person that you saw in person the other day. Bruh, take it away, sis.
So, I mean, first and foremost, shout out to the Knicks. They're going to be in the cup finals tonight against the Oklahoma. Nope. Eric, psych. The San Antonio Spurs, who will be, despite he respects the cup, obviously Juju, because he comes back his first game off of injuries. I think he missed, what, 12 games? That's the first one he decides to come back. in a very competitive setting in an, a crowd that was so pro San Antonio, we didn't know how many minutes he was going to get juju. And I had the, I don't even know how I got locked up into sitting right in front of Sam Presti.
Damn.
AA, section 6, AA, seat 1 and seat 2. And I had a front row seat as the whole crowd was screaming, Wemby, Wemby, Wemby. And they were down like 15 points. And I'm like, well, why didn't you bring Wemby in? At this point, just let him chill out. And no, Wemby comes in, Juju. He is a plus 25. In seven minutes and right before halftime, I even videotaped it and put this on threads. I saw on me, baby. I saw on me three cuts the lead to three at halftime, Juju. Let's, Miss Rebecca, play some of this Wemby insane highlights.
Coming off that calf strength. Harper pull up. Jay, no. Oh, no, he's tipped. Oh, look at the arms. From Wemby. Wemby Nyama will bring it up. Harper now. Listen, here's the thing.
Here's what stuck out to me. When Wemby is in the game, it doesn't matter whether you have monsters from the mid-range, like Shea Gildress Alexander, like AJ Mitchell, like Chet, like any of these people. The paint... is under construction okay there are cones all the way inside of it they've got people standing there with the stop sign in your mind because you're not going anywhere near there just based on his go-go gadget arms so what that means juju is i don't mean to get all nerdy put my glasses on in terms of how the basketball like chain reaction goes but then the guards on the perimeter the Steph Castles of the world, the Dylan Harpers of the world, the Arison Barnes of the world. They can get super aggressive and get up into your gym shorts, go body to body with you because the game is already physical from Oklahoma City's perspective, and then cause you into a 24-second shot clock violation because now they're not worried if you cook them.
Wimby's right there with the go-go gadget arms. It is incredible to watch his impact where he is before our eyes. I'm not saying he's the best player in the NBA, but I think he's the most impactful player in the NBA because they just turned into a team that you're like, I want to see them go seven games with Oklahoma City. And they were getting blown out before he entered the game.
