After beating Denver, he and Jokic were having a chat. Jokic had his back to the court, and Wemby had hisback to the scorers table, facing the main full court camera. He covered his mouth so that no one could later lip read the video. He’s always been cognizant of being on camera, and what comes from that.

@@gregorydeleon8394 French Connexion and International Culture baby! San Antonio seems like a very "European-like" city as well. Low key, lovely lifestyle, some art, some nature, the river. European Basketball players are less about money/fame and the bright lights of the Big Markets compared to American kids or young Europeans gifted athletes who chase fame with Football/Soccer. Basketball pays way more money and brings more media attention in any NBA team than in any club in Europe, so it's already a lot to take in. This is why European players tend to stay in their franchise longer if things go well Basketball wise. They usually care less about LA or NY and the lifestyle that go with these massive cities. Hopefully, the Spurs will manage the Post-Pop era well enough to bring Victor contention opportunities until he retires. It's probably the only thing that would make him leave: Kid wants to be the goat so he needs a great team and a lot of rings for that. But he couldn't have landed in a better franchise to make that happen. A match made in heaven! Like it was written. Victor was destined to be a Spur.

Is this his first interview? Understandable if it is, but did you people not think those questions were horrible? "You are already the best all around defender in the NBA, what is your ceiling?" This was mostly the interview. Glazing Wemby than giving him a question that's so dumb and empty. It's clear Wemby has a good head on him and can fill in answers, but this guy was very amatuer and for someone with the potential of Wemby, it would've been nice to get a proper interviewer opposed to a newbie asking airhead questions. "You are the best, can you be better?"

The basketball talent speaks for itself, but Wemby the individual is what stands out the most. Everyone who has interviewed him is left in awe. JJ said he has never seen a 20yr old behave like Wemby. His parents raised an amazing indivudal from the look of things. The spurs were bad all season, but he didnt want to miss any time. Pop would say Wemby was not happy with him for deciding to sit him. Imagine fighting Pop to play, checking tourself back into games. He wants it, and hes all about the team, and his teammates, even at times when it doesnt seem like his teammates may feel the same

We had too many disappointments with Ntilikina, Hayes or Doumbouya. Victor is the real deal and even more than that! Bilal is also far exceeding expectations!

It’s insanely impressive how well he articulates himself in a second language at his young age. Very measured and thoughtful. This was a great interview KOC. Kudos 👌🏾

Great in-depth interview. It was great to hear Vic's genuine thoughts, feelings and ideas, just felt like very straight forward and honest answers. Confident without being arrogant and really wants to get better.

What a legend. The Spurs are the most lucky, fortunate franchise to get this guy. I just kept staring at his hands. They do not seem real! Please oh please oh please stay healthy 🤞❤️🙏

This is the final evolution of basketball. I don’t see how anyone can ever bring more to the table than him

❤ Love this young man. I sure hope he stays a Spur his whole career. 🤞

Great interview! But, “no 7-footer has been a 50/40/90 guy….” We forgetting Dirk this quickly?? The original 50/40/90 big man

@sepharon755 Ай бұрын

Did he say it's never been done before? I thought he just said that it doesn't happen often

@cheez333 Ай бұрын

Surprisingly, Dirk only had 1 50/40/90 season. I thought he had more.

@GeorgeInHerJungle Ай бұрын

yeah I was confused by that, too lazy to double check but I thought Dirk was known for that

@siphillis Ай бұрын

I like how Wemby believes his biggest defensive weakness is actually ending the possession after he gets the block…and he already leads the league in retention after a block.

But realistically it’s getting beat on the perimeter by fast guards

Like all the other greats , Wemby is adding a special layer to the NBA. Great season ROTY & DPOY in my opinion

@Diane8142 Ай бұрын

Geez... I've never heard anyone said "... with such a small basketball" And nice jacket on Wemby. Got to get one for my husband.

GOAT in the making. So glad he landed in San Antonio and with Pop. That will keep him grounded. He has the right attitude and is with the right organisation to achieve greatness.

Huge interview, thank you so much @Kevin 🙏 Been watching Wemby the whole season, incredible talent, very high IQ, born leader, unselfish, progressing at unseen rates... what a time to be alive to see this kid compete against all time greats like Giannis & Jokic and become the goat in the years to come 🤩
