Wemby has been nowhere near as atrocious as LeBron was in 2007 - he was a primary reason for being swept
Some guys are 82 game players.
Others are 16 game players.
Smart teams know the difference.
Giannis is a 16 game player
(16 total playoff games in the last 5 seasons)
Hilariously low floor.
Wemby makes me think about how Bron was “behind schedule” if you really think about it. It took him 4-5 seasons for his offensive toolkit to catch up to his athleticism which obviously birthed the goat peak, but you can argue he has a slow start compared to other goat lvl guys
At the peak of the position (end of Q3 2020 / September 30, 2020), Micron Technology $MU represented 41.09% of Himalaya Capital Management’s total 13F portfolio.
In Q2 2023, Li Lu fully exited the position at an average price of ~$64.22.
Today $mu trades at $950. Li lu’s position would be worth $ 10,902,696,850.
The great Li lu left approximately $10.19 billion on the table just on Micron, a tip from Pabrai who also made the same costly mistake.
Selling your winners early is the biggest mistake in investing. Geniuses are not immune.
Giannis plays more in the regular season (895 to 798), while Kawhi plays more in the playoffs (146 to 84) so it's easy to think they play different sports.
Crazy that Kawhi Leonard has only played 1 more season than Giannis.
Kawhi: 14 seasons
Giannis: 13 seasons
Feels like they’re from completely different eras.
Here’s a crazy idea several fans have sent me and posted on our Facebook group:
“Put Mason Plumblee in there next to Wemby or Luke.
Dude has experience and lots of NASTY plus he can grab loads of rebounds and run in transition faster than any other big. If he gets a technical or thrown out, oh well.”
Victor Wembanyama’s agent met with Rob Pelinka last summer to learn how Kobe Bryant mentally prepared himself, per @ramonashelburne.
“One summer Bryant had become obsessed with studying how great white sharks hunt and attack their prey. So it became Pelinka's job to find him the best place in the world to do that -- which is apparently Guadalupe, an island 150 miles off the coast of Baja, Mexico, where you can go cage diving in the crystal-clear waters.
Bryant would later write in The Players' Tribune in 2017 that his study of great whites helped him defend Allen Iverson.”
Surely this 12 second clip from a game when Lillard was still on the Bucks is enough to convince you that Giannis can guard Wemby and the player he will be next year and beyond.
Genuinely believe your best shot (ironically?) is Giannis. Built enough to body up, quick enough to stay in front, long enough to reasonably contest shots. Imperfect and has a shelf life. But ya, I think closest you get is him, Scottie Barnes, or Embiid with robot knees
Lebron had good rosters.
Wemby playing with a bunch of youngins
Difference is Wemby doesn't hold the ball and spam pick and roll the entire possession like LeBron so his entire team gets to operate.
@Willus_Maximus@blazersJJ@NoTechBen If Lebron beats the Warriors and then KD joins the Warriors and suddenly they can beat Lebron he'll get all the credit and it certainly would help his legacy.
