there’s something so beautiful about seeing wemby in game 1 put on a show with his impossible physicality, and then the next night jalen brunson does the exact same thing with the total opposite body and skill set—the best of basketball, both ways
WEMBY WAS UNBELIEVABLE IN HIS WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS DEBUT 🤯
41 PTS (20 combined in 4Q, OT, and 2OT)
24 REB (new postseason career-high)
He becomes the youngest player in NBA history with 40+ PTS and 20+ REB in a postseason game, previously done by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1970)!
De’Aaron Fox shouting out Steph Curry when asked about Wemby’s gravity and impact on defense:
“It’s like no one else. I mean, between probably him and Steph like, those are the only guys that you see that have the type of gravity that they have and it’s amazing to play with.”
