@DregarTw@imyycooper Today’s game does the exact same thing, at just a faster pace. The Spurs run sets almost every time down the floor. Also the sets back then were simple, it would be almost elementary for current teams to guard them
The brightest star in the league is a 7-foot-4 Avenger who does postgame press conferences like a philosopher, professes his love for the game whenever he can, goes all out for his teammates and talks recklessly to opponents like 97 Rodman. I mean, this is incredible.
I don’t think people are really processing what we are witnessing as fans right now in this Lakers versus Mavericks game
We are watching a 19 year old, the youngest player in the league, and a 41 year old, the oldest player in the league, put on a show being the consensus two best players on the floor. This should be like space travel: our brand should not be able to comprehend this
Wemby on why he cares about winning MVP:
"All of the best players of all-time have fought and grabbed everything they could grab early on in their career. If I want to make my spot among the greats, I gotta try to not miss any occasion to put my name up there."
GOAT mentality
Victor Wembanyama on what surprised him the most coming to the NBA:
“Before I got here it’s a lot of talk about the NBA that nobody plays defense anymore or like there’s no defense in the NBA. I heard that a lot before coming here but it’s just not true. Players are just that good… People actually do guard in the NBA and do lots of scouting”
Iman Shumphert tells story of what LeBron told the team on the bus when down 3-1 to Golden State 😳
“The reason we was so calm, when Bron was on that bus and saying like ‘if we beat them here, then they mindset gonna be this, this, and this, and this is gonna happen, and we’ll come back and do this, then we’ll come back here for game 7, and that’s when we send they ass home!’ This n**** done simulated the season on his phone or something. We all got quiet and I see everybody in their mind go like ‘He’s right.’… Then Draymond got kicked out the game, then game 6 they wasn’t talking! That was the quietest game we ever played. That man had everybody on the bus puzzled, we looking at him, then I start thinking about it, ain’t nobody in this league been through this sh*t more than this man right here. This man knows coaching styles now. This man talked to me about what Mark Jackson had them do, but what Steve Kerr now has them doing and how we’re going to take advantage of this because this is what Steve Kerr principles are”
