Nah having more blocks as an individual than 7 teams is crazy

Making win-now moves in a rebuild is exactly how you end up like the Atlanta Hawks. OKC was terrible for 3 years and now look at them after they reaped the benefits of the draft. Give the Spurs one more year to be terrible and have them get all their top 10 draft picks in 2024 and 2025 and their set for a dynasty. Mfs so impatient. Whats Wemby gonna do? Ask out in his 2nd year? I aint never seen that happen in NBA history. Spurs know they got 4 years to make him happy and theyre not just gonna let someone like that walk in free agency so they know they gotta make sure hes happy by that deadline..but right now, theyre playing at their own pace. Just enjoy the ride

this is literally his first year, lol. no need to rush too, its not like Wemby is gonna want out of SA. just surround him with good pieces, and trust the process. Spurs are gonna be good in a few years man

Moving quickly dosent mean success. Its making the right moves in a timely manner.

Still crazy when Shaq said theres a Wemby in the NBA right now. Wemby is absolutely crazy to watch.

Sports media just wants to create a frenzy. The Spurs will never give into that nonsense. They will build a sustainable winning machine with some of the young guys they have now. Patience will serve them far better than trading the farm for a vet.

ESPN would like you to think Wemby won the game alone yesterday, not that Devin Vassell also scored 28 points, Sochan had a 20 and 10 game, Tre Jones made multiple threes and assists, Keldon was a spark off the bench. This isn't just a Wemby show, they are all working together and its the chemistry that has made them better throughout the year. They are all the core of the team building together. There is no rushing

The Spurs are missing that playmaker. Passing the ball and controlling pace. They get just one guy. The whole team is different.

Spurs don't need to rush. They should keep developing and set themselves up to be serious contenders starting in two-three years imo as another high draft pick or two would do more for them than going all in with 20 year old Wemby next season would. Give him and the rest of the team time to grow.

Wemby will be just fine. No reason to rush.

Victor needs to enter the slam dunk contest lol

Why do people want to rush things, give him time to develop. At least 2 more years with the current core.

Why rush? The team is young and developing

Victor is just like Dallas with Luka. You gotta surround pieces around them now instead of later cause they’re just that good

Agree with the other posts. No need to rush. Rebuild through the draft. A franchise that is so good at drafting like the spurs should trust their picks more.

That pee wee Herman laugh at 1:37…and the realization of how dorky it sounded 😭😂😭

1:35 Man Zach Lowe'd laugh right there too jokes. Man laughed like a 5 yr old child

5:22 “The ceiling is the roof”

Lol the double hand head smack at the end. 😂

I think Spurs wouldn't need to make the right move, I think free agents and even a few of the great players would force their way to Spurs. The idea of playing with Wemby, who could be mentioned among the greatest of all time, I bet there are players that are already thinking of joining the Spurs.

Would be 🔥 if the spurs can make a trade to get Cade from the pistons then klay in free agency to help out wemby

I can fully understand the kid! I mean, look at Joel Embiid, I can still remember Embiid coming into the league and be seen as a top prospect, and in two weeks he turns 30! Time flies and I wish Wemby that he doesn't have to make a LeBron to Miami or KD to the Warriors move at some point because in his head the race against time starts. If the Spurs can pair him with another star, they are immediately a big threat.

Ppl are reacting this way because they have seen what happened to the Cavs, OKC, and Bucks before Giannis forced their hand on the drew holiday trade. Once a player proves that he is one of those guys. It is then on the coaches and the front office to create a culture around them to start contending for chips before that player goes somewhere else to do so.

7:00 - that facepalm with both hands........🤣

Victor actually made history today by being the first man in the history of the NBA to be named Victor Wembanyama and be talked about on ESPN on a March 1st. That has never happened before.💪🤯

0:39 Brian what do you mean Wenby is not talked about enough or being given enough credit?THERE WAS TALK OF HIM BEING AN ALL TIME AND NOW TALK OF HIM WINNING ROTY

I agree. It's not hurry to win a ship but hurry to win, hurry for Wemby to play with great teamates because you're learning a lot when you play with super players. Wemby is a winner. He wants to win everything, individual awards, titles and not regret anything. He's not going to wait 3 years for the spurs to build a youth team. And who tells you that Wemby will stay a Spurs after his contract ? If he wants other challenges? see if he can win with another franchise etc so spurs don't delay.

I like them signing Miles Bridges, keeping Vassell and looking to trade for a legit top PG or signing someone like Russell as their PG and keeping Jones as the alternative. Malik Monk is intriguing too.

“He wants to win” … incredible reporting

Everyone debating who the next face of the league is… HE’S IT. Case closed 😊

Shoutout to Malika for plugging “the ceiling is the roof” joke in there 😂😂

Perfect guy to wean us off the shortcut taking, no-confidence having LeBron James super team era

history of the league tell you guys Wemby size don't have 15-20 years careers hopefully he beats the odds but Spurs need to hurry up and get this right

By the end of his contract, so in 3 years the Spurs better have a contending roster built around him. This kid is extremely smart, he will not wait around for an organization like Damian lillard did. He will not waste his prime for a team that didnt take the time they had with him seriously. He will walk if the spurs do not build quickly

I disagree, give him another year and build younger assets as much as possible before you go full force. You can't rush your way to a championship unless it's already a veteran superstars teaming up.

Vic will be the face of the league idc what nobody say he him and he only 20

He's changing the league! Can't wait to watch for years❤

1:34 that one friend that gets the joke😂

He makes it fun to watch the spurs again thats good enough for me.

he's a rookie, they're not in a rush especially in a tough western conference

Spurs must have like $2.7 billion in cap space with their G-league squad. They could sign Giannis, Jokic and Luka in the off-season.

What do they think is a “Slow Rebuild” because they talking like the spurs will be rebuilding for 5 years when in reality that’s not the case……….Developing younger talent while also throwing in some quality free agents in the process to raise the competitive level of the season & be mentors for the younger guys including Victor should be the only thing they do……..If they do that they’ll be in the playoffs by 2026, will be in the Play-In tournament next season to……….. the last time a team tried to rush a rebuild was Dallas with Luka & now they’ve been in a constant tornado for the last 5 years

they should probably focus on adding a quality point guard. doesn't have to be a star but someone good. trying to build a contender in the offseason is not going to happen. they can add the best free agent in siakam but since their timelines are so different it would help now and become a problem in 3 years. they should draft best available player and continue to develop wemby and sochan. once they are in play in level go for the big name free agents or trade future draft capital.

He's next up 💯

The blocks are nuts

I love Zach Lowe 😂 1:40

I’ll tell Wemby be patient. You might loose two more years, but as long as your in your prime you’ll never loose again.let’s do it the right way.

He is on his first yr, Still learning No need to panic, 3rd yr you need to make the move for help

I cut the video when she starts talking

Perk gettin better on TV

We might have a season where the DPOY will be on a 2nd-team ALL defense like what happened with Roberson, Mutombo, Gasol, and Chandler.

They should draft Zach edey and put em both together starting wemby can be power forward

Spurs should get wemby, Trae young

Windys LBJ comparison take was spot-on.

Would strongly consider making a deal for Melo Ball. And perhaps, p/u James Wiseman to develop as the center. I think he can still develop and be more than serviceable along side Wemby.

He’s ready to win now. He has enough basketball experience to lead the Spurs to go deep in the playoffs.

Oooh, that was some serious trash talk 😒

Next year will be nice we are learning each game and confidence is increasing each night and players are connecting. It takes time nothing happens over night and once we add 20/30 lbs of muscle on Wemby and a key point guard like Trey young or a DFOX it’s over

Clearly all of the potential to be the franchise. The Sprurs have a responsibility to the sport & the fans to make all of the best moves.

Showing that Blocks stat and giving they votes to Rudy is nasty work 😂

LOL. Perk... Spurs y'all on the clock for the first time in your life. It's true we need to start ramping it up on getting pieces. Mr. Louis Vuitton Wemby is the Market he is the Guy. They Need a scoring point Trae Young and shooter to start. Well See. Go Spurs Go

I told everyone this man is THE MAN before he came to our city, since he came he has not let us down with his performances and professionalism

It’s also important that the spurs shouldn’t panic

that 2 1/2 months playing without starting pointguard really hurt spurs season...and when Pop back then start Trey and let sochan play he's legit role which is pf the spurs play way different

That's what they said about David Robinson and Tim Duncan Victor is a lifetime Spurs GO SPURS GO WE gunna take our Texas time doing it

1:34 Zach Lowe laugh 😂😂😂

He's must-see for me. Already. Just 19 and this good.

Only reason I would build slightly faster than usual is you never know how long Wemby will be healthy

I think the Spurs will move some players this summer and possibly some picks. It won't be crazy like trying to mortgage all their assets for a win it all next year situation but I could see a couple new starters. An all-star level point guard by themselves paired with Wemby probably takes the team to .500 ... after that a small forward with good conditioning who is a 3 and D player would really help.

Hes already insane and it hasn't even been a full season.

Wemby + Trae Young. Make it happen NBA

It's Brian Windy who's in the right here: Spurs need to go slow at least until the 2025 Draft. 2024 Draft is too uncertain at the top, and the NBA is too good in its better half to allow this Spurs team to make a strong run for the next years to come. Instead of trading or signing free-agents for a late playoffs spot, the Spurs should suck next year too and try to get a potential superstar in Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. If they draft their other starters in this year's Draft, they'll be set for the next decade. Imagine, they get Sarr and Dillingham this year, then Flagg the next one, that would give them the following starting lineup in 2025-26: Dillingham-Vassell-Flagg-Sarr-Wembanyama. Much like the Thunder, you could reach the top of your conference from day 1 with such talents.

That cold pizza reference and lowe bursting out louddd❤

6:00 Woj talking about Wembys' aura is crazy lmao

I like the Holgrem Chef for ROTY Espn bet liked when everyone put moneyz/loots for Wemby to win roty are gettin a bit nervous-a-roni

The spurs are the best developmental team ever. I wish all big time players could just go to the spurs their first 4 years almost like going to the military is a requirement in some countries. Can you imagine guys like kobe, bron, carmelo anthony, luka, steph and others spending their first 4 years in spurs culture? My goodness. These guys not only got a unicorn but we are fortunate enough to see him be able to develop in the spurs culture AND still have pop there for at least this year.

Watch out, GOAT MJ!

Wemby should go to the Knicks or Lakers. Make top tier free agents come to and stay around him, then start his legacy run.

The media is setting the table already to push Wemby outta SA. So sad. But I have full faith my Spurs will make this right and have him play his entire career here!

The last player we saw this kind of insane competitiveness was Kobe, another European. Why the US athlete are all friends.

i trust that the spurs will continue to draft well in the next few years to build a good team around wemby

Not necessarily a Spurs fan but they are definitely moving forward.

There is this strange trend with ESPN lately, where their top analysts keep trying to push Wemby out of San Antonio. Ramona Shelbourne before, Woj now. I wonder why.

Imagine if the Spurs somehow manages to draft Zach Edey, that's like David robinson - Tim Duncan all over again, except 5 inches taller

I’m sure the Spurs front office fully understands where they stand with Vic and the team. They are historically a risk-averse franchise, they won’t go all-in on a big move that could go either way. They will look to make solid incremental improvements through the offseason within their ability to do so. They may make a bigger free-agency move when they believe they have the team foundations to support it and it translates into winning and contention. This offseason is probably not the time though. Vic has probably been better than they expected in season one, but he’s still very unpolished and green in a many areas of the game and is in his early stages of development. It makes sense to continue to focus on his individual growth and define what his game will ultimately ideally look like, because that will help determine who best to place around him. They have a young core of high character players, there’s a lot to be said for culture and camaraderie. Vic may get sick of losing, but he may also value his teammates as friends. The Spurs know all of this and more. Trust they will play this the best they know how.

What is Perkins saying? The Spurs have been on the clock so many times with David Robinson, DUNCAN, Parker, Ginobili and Kawhi. They have delivered almost every time. Their only “failure” was Kawhi’s situation. They will delivered doing the right moves like they always do.

Young is going to be a Spur. Those two could really help eachother out

No question about it. We are seeing the player who is in the process of redefining what being the GOAT means.

ESPN..... he doesnt get talked about enough? A 7'4 blocking shots is "incredible" ? No! Its what he's supposed to be able to do. Him averaging 20 ppg is cool, but he's not the best scoring rookie of all time. Yes, he has handles for his size but thats the new trend for all new players. It's not hate! ESPN sets these players up to be let down. The Joker is putting up amazing numbers constantly. Luka drops 45 like its nothing. Neither player is as talked about. Im beginning to think them being white is the problem. Like Stephen A said about Mccaffrey, " if he were black, we'd be talking about him more often"

That awkward laugh from that one guy hurt my ears 😅

Windhorst with the slight shot at Skip 😂

Legendary Cold Pizza reference 😂

Finally no victor wembanyana misspelled names

Nobody has had shot blocking at this level since the early 90's. Wemby is the real deal and a matchup number. I think many guys will want to play with Wemby in free agency.

Windy your hand movement is killin me 😅

It’s kinda weird that having Wemby hasn’t translated to any improvement for the Spurs over last season. They won 22 games last season, and might win LESS this season. That’s very unusual when you’ve got a generational talent like Wemby.

Don’t worry my hometown legend rob dilly will be there next year to help💯

imagine when his teammates actually wants to win instead of trying compete with him

I tried to give it a chance but ESPN is impossible to watch

As a Spurs fan i would only do this for Trae or someone else of elite calibre like that and make a big trade. If not i dont mind waiting another year and maybe getting some good players in 2025 from the draft plus with FAs
