Barack Obama on the Spurs:
“I love this young San Antonio Spurs team.. those guards, Castle Harper, I love those two. And Harper almost won the game for them the way he was playing.
And I think Wemby will end up being as good as we are projecting. I watched him at the All-Star game.. first time I’d see him live and I don’t remember somebody that big moving like that..
That team is going to have such a great future.”

11 MONTHS AGO
Wemby: "Hey, I play for the Spurs. My name is Vic."
Harper: "I know who you is. My name is Dylan. I just got drafted to the Spurs. I think I'm your teammate now."
Now, they are going to the NBA Finals.
Wild how I looked at a dude who went 27-11-3bpg on 48-40-90 splits this series and constantly thought myself that he has so much room for improvement offensively. The ceiling for Wemby is higher than any player I’ve ever seen in my entire lifetime of watching basketball.
