I present to you, the most hated man in professional sports
Wemby went out of his way to bump into Chet as time was called in the 1st q. The Thunder chuckled. Wemby yelled at teammates during 3rd q huddle. Didn’t work. Wemby told backups to take somebody out. OKC will remember.. Then Wemby ducked the media. Baby behavior.
Just imagine…
The Thunder are getting blown out in Game 5 of a 2-2 series, and Shai, (who in the previous series threw a vicious elbow and didn’t even get fined for it), whispers something to Dort and JWill, and they proceed to check in and throw two cheap shots on a key player in garbage time.
Now imagine Shai skipping media availability after the biggest loss of the season.
What would the discourse be?
There’s a double standard with Wemby!
Stephon Castle talking about OKC Thunder defense:
"I'm tryna to play through it, the way they guard how physical they are we don't get that same luxury to play physical on the other end at times"
CASTLE FOULS SGA EVERY SINGLE POSSESSION. JUST ALLOWED TO PLAY FOOTBALL. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. HE KNOWS THE REFS WILL LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT AGAINST "THE FREE THROW MERCHANT." TONIGHT SGA IS DOWN HIS 2 BEST CO-SCORERS AND HE'S UP AGAINST AN 8-MAN DEFENSE.
