@marclamonthill I fw you but this why people say you be phony sometimes. You wouldn’t have this stance if it was Stephen A and you wouldn’t have this take if it was a non Knicks player. It’s pandering and hater gumbo. Dozen of other pundit since have said “we was wrong”. Only she’s protected.
@jemelehill@TheBackPage If Becky just gave a take I don’t think anyone would care as much. It’s that she came off condescending and dismissive. I don’t get how you don’t see the fan base spinning the block on that one. That’s life. People are gonna say I told you so if they felt offended.
@jemelehill@jkristopher SAS was one of the first people in line saying he was wrong. Thats why there’s no “chorus of people demanding that he apologize with the same level of intensity.”
@jemelehill If we’re being honest if it were a male we were piling on you wouldn’t gaf. Women need to be protected especially in this field because men can be condescending but there’s a point where it turns into coddling. Equality mean equality. You wouldnt be coming to SAS defense this way
@jemelehill Jemele don’t do that. Dozens of pundits who were wrong about Jalen have come out and SAID it. Shes not being targeted shes being held to the same standard as everyone else. And anyone with ears can hear that she was condescending about it. I don’t know why we pretending here.
The reality of all this "Wemby is so unlikeable!" stuff is that within the first 2 weeks of next season he'll do something no one's done since Wilt and everyone will be back to being a Wemby fan again.
@Senor_Sweetz Pulling hair and stepping under the shooter feet is “fighting through it”
Excuses excuses. Maybe he’s just an asshole and you can’t except it cuz team
@marclamonthill I love you. I really fuck with you and everything you stand for. That being said:
SHUT THE FUCK UP TODAY!!! NOBODY WANNA HEAR FROM A TEAM STILL TRUSTING THE PROCESS. WATCH YOUR MOUTH TALKING ABOUT NBA CHAMPIONS ON HISTORIC RUNS WHERE EVERY PLAYER IS LIKABLE
1) Yes, stamina/endurance is a big thing for Wemby to work on (which he will because he's still only 22)
2) He shouldn't build too much muscle because that will negate things that make him so special.
3) I'll come back to.
4) This dude has been humbled at every step of his career. 2nd in U18. 2nd in LNB Finals. 2nd at Olympics. 2nd in NBA Finals.
Being upset by losing doesn't make him any less humble.
Back to 3. Nick (and so many others) are talking about Wemby and fouls and being a bully and all that. I won't go into it all here, but here's Jokic at 26 years old reacting to a hard foul in a regular season game. This isn't to condemn Jokic by any means, but to highlight how absurd some of the talk about Wemby has been.
