Victor Wembanyama just became the youngest player in NBA history with a 5x5 game, as he battled LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers.

What I'm shook by is just how easy all this is for Wemby, he doesn't even look dialed in yet. Almost looks like the biggest kid on a nerf hoop out there.
Looks like a grizzly bear cub playing with grown pit bulls, the evidence of what it will be is there, and it wont be so cute anymore by next year.
@@QuaiChandler-nn5du da gerizzlie bur }:^)
They have 2 more wins than jordan poole team..relaz
@@xavierb9061 ah yes because it's a rookie's responsibility who only gets 28 minutes to win a game. Are you dumb?
@@xavierb9061They're tanking genius!
Wemby is literally playing my career on hof difficulty. When you go to the bench and come back your down by 15, after being up by 5.😂😂
Facts 💀
This is like having a devil's 3some the girl is satisfied the other guy tags in and she is left unsatisfied and u have to make up the deficit
Wemby got the 5x5 game on the second night of a back to back after coming one assist short of doing it the previous game lmao😭. Crazy to see how significantly better he’s gotten better over each month this season he’s arguably a top 25-30 player in the league and this season is the worst he will ever be. We are witnessing a player not just live up to the crazy expectations but actually do better than those expectations Wemby is just insane.
Yeah that's one of the most incredible statistical feats I've ever seen, so glad we get to witness this.
yeah his rapid improvement is impressive.
No
Modern classic. So much new and old on display. AD and Wemby, shotblocking savants, fighting in the post. LeBron bringing the midrange and post up game straight from the 90's, yet Wemby is making highlight passes and 3 pointers, like the modern big man. High screens and rolls. Still a lot of 3 pointers. Beautiful game.
This is why I love basketball. It's so nuanced. So many many things to enjoy, so many different aspects of the game that make real impacts on winning and losing. So many stories.
Watching a 7’4” alien shooting step back threes 😂😂😂 What a Time to be alive
I’ll never tire of watching a 7’5” talent drain threes.
It’s remarkable!
Wild Prediction: Wemby to be the first to make a Quintuple Double, a 9 dart 501, a 147 snooker max break and a golf hole in one by Thursday week.
Lmao no kidding
Lmao!
crazy d riding
NNNNOOOOOPPPPEEE,.. WILT CHAMBERLAIN, ALREADY DID IT,.. ON MARCH 16TH, OR THE 18TH,.. IN 1968!!!
5th best defence when he’s on the court compared to 29th when he’s off 😂😂 insane
Crazy defensive impact
Once his conditioning is improved and matches NBA standards he will be unstoppable… Just watch his first quarter when his legs are fresh… Now imagine what could (will) happen when he’ll be able to maintain the same intensity for 36+ minutes… Insane..
If he maintains his level of flexibility and mobility in his joints and builds lean but strong muscle on top of building his endurance to play 40 minutes a game, while continuing to improve on the little things in his game such as passing, and mid range shooting, he is going to be a top ten player of all time. I'm calling it right now. Bar injuries, he might be in the goat convo by the time his career is finished.
@@paulh.9937Could be like Wilt - great stats but only one championship. So far he is not moving the needle on wins.
He's got a weird physiology obviously. That's like a giraffe heart in there. He could have limitations that more typical sized players don't.
I just love it when a foul call goes against Wemby and he just wags his finger no 😂
That's a very French hand gesture! People use it here all the time to mean "Get that isht out of here!" or "Don't be silly, you can't do that." Often at chiildren in everyday situations...
It's kinda spooky how wemby already has that gravity like all time greats where his mere presence gives his team the ability to score because he draws that much attention
Yeah it’s too bad his teammates can’t capitalize
pop never let him play over 30 minutes/games, they really want to tank so much🤣🤣
As long as he stays healthy!
He's been playing 30+ min for most of this month. Edit: Yeah, I was wrong. I think I extrapolated the past few games to the whole month. Watching the games, he was playing longer. Just not 30+ minutes until very recently.
@@antoinehenderson1659bro what are you talking about😭
They need a playmaker and the upcoming draft has a few guys they can use so it makes sense to keep tanking
@@antoinehenderson1659No?
I love Wemby competitiveness
I’ve been binging your videos since I found out about this channel, and want to say I’ve become heavily invested in all of basketball because of them. Also, I think an analysis video on Amen Thompsons defense on the Suns last night could be worth a video. I don’t know if it was enough content for a full video though , I’m just a really big Rockets fan.🚀
Thank you so much for the support, and appreciate the video suggestion!
if hes hittin those perimeter shots, and he develops some AD like agility and a bit of strength to where he can back dudes down fairly easy and get whatever shot he wants in the post, dude will be a legend. very soon.
About agility, I think Wemby is way ahead of AD. Even the best defender can't do a perfect job during the entire game, sometimes they make mistake. That was the case here when he let AD have his easy points at the rim. No disrespect to AD, who have more xp, strength atm.
@@aspleen1102i think honestly instead of agility id say let the kid get a better feel for his body. he kinda look like a puppy with big ass paws out there, just not exactly sure how to use his size to his full advantage yet.
So fun to watch. Coach Pop’s teachings, he wants to be great and generationally talented
Wembys rookie year really is special
Facts!
Gilbert Arenas said on his podcast he wouldn't be shocked if Wemby has 2 career quadruple doubles my next season. No player in nba history has more than 1, only 4 players have done so. I am starting to believe he might get the first ever quintuple double.
Quintuple double sounds absolutely insane but if it's wemby, I can see it happen but he'll really have to try and it would be against a bad team.
I can see it happening to if he’s playing like this as a rookie I think he will be the GOAT when it’s all said and done
Why would someone give a shit what Arenas says? He's an idiot. In this particular case it is not a hot take, everybody knows that wemby might get a quadruple double
@@Spurs2192 The odds of him having a long career are slim to none. I pray it's not the case but the most seasons someone has ever played at his height or more it's Mark Eaton with 11 full seasons.
I’ve been a spurs fan my whole life we are setting up for the draft and I’m all for it I see some SAS fans complaining about the season we are having we need more than just Wemby we aren’t gonna be a finals team over night send it Pop!
The crazy thing is he makes it look simple. Like maybe he doesn’t have it all the way and he’s not dialed in yet, but he makes what he already does look easy and simple. As he expands his game I’m really looking forward to seeing what his ceiling is because his floor is unreal
Sometimes it feels like there isn’t any ceiling at all 😂
Seeing these highlights, Wemby's defense is already scary at 20 yrs old. I hope he stays healthy cus I'm looking forward to his evolution in the nba
Facts!
Good work! Love how detailed this video was
Glad you enjoyed!
Man, this is some great content analysis! Awesome stuff, keep it up!
What impresses me the most is the passes Wemby makes at 7'5. The last European 7 footer with passes this great has been dominating the NBA wih 2 MVPs and a Ring.
Great break down of a game good job bro
Basically what saved them os bron came up in the midrange post up era. Seeing as thats where most the dmg was done leaving davis to be davis and the rest of the lakers looking like they dont belong in the nba. Its just funny that even if players have experience or strength over wemby he alone forces teams to completely change the way they play to score. 1 man doing that "A rookie" is wild
Great breakdown!
Well done. Enjoyed your analysis 👍
Glad you liked it!
Loved the breakdown. Wemby is special when its said and done he will break a lot of records including championships.
Great analysis ❤
Wemby needs three things. First, he needs a bit more strength. If he can get stronger without losing speed and agility, whoah. Second, with time, he'll increase his understanding of the system he's playing in and the systems he's playing against. Third, with more matchups, he'll begin to understand the habits of his opponents, their quirks, and their weaknesses. In a couple years, he's going to be a real beast. If the Spurs can get the right players around him, they're going to be a real beast.
That last thing is dangerous, he will be so much better as a playmaker the more he plays.
I think the Spurs will find the players they are clearly setting up for the draft I’m all for it I’m ready for SAS to dominate again 💪
I love this kid; his charisma and his game! Young allstar!
Same here!
wemby is a beast! wish him healthy career, no doubt he gonna be one of the greats
casually shooting over AD is comical.
That's a brilliant breakdown!
Thank you!
nice video man
Appreciate it!
he is destined for Greatness !
in wemby we we believe!!!! :D
Nice work H.V.!
Thank you!
1:11 that acceleration was crazy. He shuffled forward to contest a possible shot but immediately recovered and was step for step w wemby after he shouldve had the advantage
FREAK NATURE 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills vs. GOAT 🐐
I have to see this kid live one day.
Stay healthy young man.
Goes to show how sorry the Spurs are without Wemby on the court. Wemby just turned 20 and on a minutes restriction. He's only getting better with each passing game and this is scary for everyone else in the league.
I’m more impressed that Wemby (a rookie) can go toe-to-toe against 2 top 75 players/future HOFers/champions/former #1 picks/GOAT (LBJ) and still have a record-breaking game (even tho this is not Wemby’s best game). I’m just excited for the future, when the Spurs finally get quality pieces around him. They have a possible 2 FRPs this upcoming draft, so hopefully they can get a PG and a 3nD wing.
Hes a 7'6 kevin durant who also plays defense like an AD 😂...its nutty.
Video game 💀
Ok, I've watched a few videos on him this past hour and I've now seen his height being 7'3, 7'4, 7'5, and with your comment, 7'6. He's either wearing high heels sometimes or people just don't know wtf his height is.
@@erikgriswold5273 he's like 7'5 and a half with shoes on in game. Without shoes probably 7'4
AD's growth spurt is what makes him a great defender. He's used to guarding players who are taller than him because he used to be a guard. A lot of big men have always been the biggest guys so they get flustered when playing someone bigger.
Also helps with his versatility!
Same with Giannis. He's retained the agility of a smaller man. BTW, I absolutely love AD's game.
Wow it's like Tim vs Shaq AND Kobe all over again! Wemby seems to be the real deal. Great game.
Current Goat VS Future Goat
🔥
If he stays healthy
Bron is not the goat but pretty much
Lebrons not the goat. He ducks the actual goat, curry.
Current goat, curry
If Wembanyama gets into high percentages on his three-pointers, they might as well rewrite the rules completely. He’s agile. He’s quick. He steals the ball. He makes assists. He blocks like it’s going out of style. He shoots from the 3-point line. He rebounds.
I would the Spurs to look somewhat something when he's sitting on the bench, but damn do i wonder what does he think when he sees his team collapse whenever he has to take a break.. I'm hoping 2 things for him: 1) an healthy career with little to no injuries 2) i dont want his years to be wasters, I hope the team and changes will go along cause the way he's improving so fast, the Spurs will need to improve fast as well
Wemby is a real life 2K MyCareer player
his rookie year looks better than so many players career already...
He don't even understand what he took part in when he look back on it he will greatness
wemby is the sub .500 mvp. not that it exists but without wemby this would be the worst team in history, worse than the 76ers or pistons. already this tem had the worst defense of all time and the attack would be toothless as johnson and collins has regressed significantly.
It's crazy how much they collapse whenever he goes to the bench, holding them together by a thread.
2:37 This was funny. 😂
Wemby will probably be the best player in da league within 4 years
Wembanyama is taking on the ENTIRE NBA. Because every team, player and staff member is studying him at nauseam. He can’t do the same. It’s unfair but he’s still getting His no matter what. Imagine if no one did their homework on him? But you can tell that teams are desperately doing their research so that he doesn’t make them look silly.
Recently some okc fans have been saying Chet is better than wembanyama but this game goes to show just how much a generational talent he is going to be
Screen on Full 🖖🏾 Scratch that got this drop on the Roku!
Love to hear it!
Oooh wildly
Wemby is God tier. Even Kareem wasn't as complete of a cheat code as this kid. 🤯
wemby just needs a decent team and he got it in the bag he doesnt even look like he’s trying
He’ll finish his career with 5x as many quad-doubles as every other player in league history combined.
zach collins caught a stray for no reason
Lmao I was dying when I heard that line
I don't say this condescendingly - you must not watch Spurs games, Zach Collins has been so horrible 99 out of 100 times he comes off the bench. I know it's not easy to play center after Wemby just got off the court, but man he is truly rough. Every time he gets the ball, I'm like "don't shoot, don't shoot, ahh he tried for a long three for some reason and airballed" 😂
@@TrueHaikuHe’s so bad ! 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Had to be done I'm afraid
Question where would you wrong Wemby as a player this year? I personally think Wemby is a top 25-30 player in the league
I really don't know, but I imagine he'll make my end of year top 25 list.
Honestly I’d say he’s top 20 rn. Yeah there’s other players that score more points but those players have no where near the defensive impact that wemby has. His ability to consistently score 20 and 10 while leading the league and blocks and stocks as a ROOKIE automatic makes him top 20
He may be in the top ten by the end of the year.
Wemby is going to be the best nba player by next year.
Horrible shot selection..hes big reason they lose. But hes young so no blame.
merci ;)
The most impressive thing about this game is that LeBron jumped to block a 3 pointer.
Mannnnn
Monster
In San Antonio Wemby has been relegated to a Circus entertainment novelty for the NBA...😢He is A Pure point Guard & power 4ward short.
What did we learn? Basketball is a team game...
The fact that Embiid dropped 70 on this dude is crazy
Wasn't really on him in this match
How? Wemby held Embiid to 16pts while he was on the court, not to mention that most of his 70 points came from the free throw line.
@@RJCE420What?? You just made up fake stats.. You guys are crazy.. lol
Wemby will absolutely be the best player in the league 4-5 years from now if he can stay healthy
If Wemby develops a style of game like KD, he might become the GOAT
11 wins with this guy on your team is not believable
Wemby played with grown men..in Europe the real adjustment is just getting used to the NBA talent. And finding his own game over time hopefully he will stay healthy
Imagine Wemby was on a Celtics type team or Mavericks where they involve the big well and would insanely benefit of such an soon established elite big
James harden made Clint capela an all star and got him paid big, then he disappeared when harden was no longer his ball handler. Imagine harden with a big who is actually really good
@@garebaregoof4226 he had Dwight Howard tho🤔
would probably actually be the 5th or 6th player to score back to back 5 steal 5 block games, if the NBA would just count the stats they have from before the 70s when they didn't accept blocks as a stat. We literally know that Bill Russel and wilt Chamberlain and Nate Thurmond did this. NBA just didn't count those stats back then, even though they recorded them.
This is true!
I think it’s inevitable that Wemby is getting a quadruple-double, question is the likelihood of him getting one this season. And also if he can get multiple 4x10s and 5x5s on a regular basis.
I can't get over seeing AD look like averaged sized compared to Wemby.
Insane 😂
Imagine Wemby in the PLAYOFFS!
The play that Leflop Lames did at 5:14… damn that was a traveling violation!! And then some plp say that this is the best era 😖. Refs are so lame
This is his 2nd matchup against LeBron....
First against LeBron and AD!
If the clippers doesn't work out for kawhi, imagine if he went back to spurs.
No bs but AD takes it personal I see vs Wemby he should play strong like this on a regular basis
He is DPOY
I pray for wetbananas health and longevity every night 🙏🏿🗣️
the goat vs lebron what a game
Soon as he puts on some muscle and gets even more comfortable it’s going to be very difficult to deal with him…
NBA globetrotters entertainment is legendary in this generation
Crazy that he cant even drink at his age 😭 I dreamed his height 🙂
I can't wait for Wemby to put some good muscle and weight on not much but enough to be able to hold his own against someone like AD if he gets physical, great performance from both teams though.
Time will change things in the future. Wemby will defeat them all when that time comes.
12:01 a nobody just dunked on your king 😂
In a couple years Wemby will be a top 10 defense by himself. Every year, no matter who’s around him, the team he’ll be on will be top 10. Just by the fact you already can’t run pick and roll against him
Reminds me of another French big man…
@@HoopVenue yeah, but he’s gonna be way better. He can already defend decently on the perimeter. And he’s just so long, he changes the whole geometry of the court. Guys can get by him and have an open layup at the rim and he’ll just come from behind and block them. I’ve never seen anything like it
He’s got some stones to finger wag Bron
If the spurs can keep the lead or hold on until Wemby checks back in they would win most their games😭
lol, love seeing a 20 yr old rookie stripping bron clean...
Mark my words in just three to five years Wemby will own the league an he will have atleast four or five championship rings before he retires remember I said this
Goat vs. the new "Kid" (young goat = kid... Not to be confused with Jason Kidd or the OG kid, Kevin Garnett)
