Been thinking about this. It's not about hoops, but it is about a hooper.
Give Wemby and his marketing team major credit.
For three or four years now he's been saying yes. Access. Interviews. Riding the subway. Playing chess. Living with monks. Voiced geopolitical takes. Stunt-y or not, doesn't matter.
I think reporters have been starved of actual access from NBA stars for a long time. From LeBron to Jokic, you only got the few crumbs that the player and his sneaker brand and his agency wanted you to have. Then, journalists (and talkshow hosts) would have to make a meal out of crumbs. (Crumbs that often came with strings attached.)
Wemby's kind've bucked that trend. So now that he's got the biggest stage of his career, those same access-starved reporters (who also, fwiw, tend to align with his politics and disposition) have got stories, angles, and the "superhero" they've craved to cover.
Whether Wemby's genuinely that guy or just plays one really well, I don't know. But from a media and marketing standpoint, he and his team ran their long play about as well as we've seen it run in a long time.
Salute.
🇦🇷Espetacular! Los @Spurs de nuevo a la final de la NBA! Qué emoción! Increíble lo de este equipo!! 4 más!
🇺🇸Amazing! The @Spurs are going back to the NBA Finals! So so so cool what this young team accomplished. Just 4 more now! 🙏
I'm fine with the way the refs ultimately called this, but Alex Caruso is dirtier than his reputation suggests and he clearly wasn't making a play on the ball.
Teams with more than 10 consecutive playoff wins:
— Durant/Steph Warriors
— Duncan/Robinson Spurs
— Kobe/Shaq Lakers
— Magic/Worthy Lakers
and the Brunson/KAT Knicks.
