@TheSecondMojo@c3p0rings@nbarealist23 He was well above league average and his shot making drew defenders towards him and away from his bigs. I would much rather have that kind of gravity than the drive and kick type due to the high variance of the 3 ball
But he also drew open 3s from all spots on the court
Wemby (22 years, 155 days) is the second-youngest player to record 30+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 5+ assists in NBA Finals history.
The youngest?
Magic Johnson (20 years, 276 days)
@HikariUber@Buckeye937B Oh hush

It worked, that team sucked against truly elite teams. His teammates didn’t deliver because that Magic team was fantastic on defense and actually tried to stop them
@V_Mercurial_Me@coachmwillis86@TheCaseForkobe1 Check the discourse at the time, they were arguing if that team was on par with the 96 Bulls after their 8-0 playoff start. Once he loses they act like he was dragging the worst team ever
Truth is they were a regular season team, they weren’t built for the final four
Will a Capricorn leader (Wembanyama) rise to the occasion once again?
The scary part? Every team that engineered a massive Finals comeback in the last 20 years was led by a Capricorn.
• 2006: Dwyane Wade (Capricorn) → Heat erase 0-2 deficit
• 2016: LeBron James (Capricorn) → Cavs complete historic 1-3 comeback
• 2026: Victor Wembanyama (Capricorn) 👀 → Down 0-2
Exactly 10 years apart each time.
Is history about to repeat itself?
@trainwjc I remember watching a Vancouver Grizzlies game during the pandemic and being impressed by him, had a nice future before the injuries. Was a very good long range shooter, would have been nice to see in today’s NBA
@JMagner@IrisOfTheEagle@3rdwrldbioweap@HeatMovin Relative to how his peak gets perceived yes these are pretty ordinary numbers. Wasn’t like he was Duncan or even KG on defense, he was pretty inconsistent on that end
The Knicks have won 8 straight road postseason games, tying the NBA record for a single postseason!
The only other team to do this in NBA history?
The Lakers in 2001 🤯
ON THIS DAY IN 2000...
Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's ICONIC alley-oop capped a 15-point Q4 comeback against Portland in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals 🔥
@sportingnews@MAdamsStatGuy Very good list, as far as 1980 onwards only really disagree with a few of the mid 2020s and 09, but pretty much identical to my own list otherwise
