Wemby been coming 2nd place his whole career man 🥈😩
🔸2nd place at U17 Championship
🔸2nd place with France at Olympics
🔸2nd place in the NBA Cup
🔸2nd place in the NBA Finals
One year ago today Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 35 points in game four against the Pacers including 14 in the clutch which is the most ever in an NBA Finals game
Saved the championship run
Regular season.. team battled injuries. Line up changes. Still number one seed. Playoffs team battled injuries.. went 8-0 in the first two rounds. Lost his two secondary ball handlers and took the spurs to 7 still. That’s why.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander after smiling down 2-1 vs The Denver Nuggets
Game 7: 35 PTS, 63.2% FG, 76% TS
Game 6: 32 PTS, 68.8% FG, 77% TS
Game 5: 31 PTS, 52.2% FG, 61% TS
Game 4: 25 PTS, 42% FG (9 Points in 4th Quarter, most by both teams)
Went 3-1 from games 4 to 7
Sam Presti about Shai: "but no one's gonna handle this gracefully, cuz when they turn it on somebody else, they're not gonna step up there every night and not acknowledge it"
He's 100% right, cuz LeBron literally crashed out. Rightfully so
Drake Maye didn’t face a top 10 defense all year last year and had an MVP worthy regular season.
In the playoffs he faced 4 straight top 10 defenses (LA 9th, HOU 2nd, DEN 3rd, SEA 1st) and looked like shit the majority of the playoffs.
The writing is on the wall.
Make no mistake about this. Not only does Wemby totally flop here, but he then gets up, looks around, and shrugs complaining about no call.
Soft stuff. He’s better than that.
