Kobe on LeBron not shaking hands. "I think people make too much of it to be honest with you. It's a very competitive game and we're human just like everybody else."

[Wemby Alien Era @WembyAlienEra]

Vince Goodwill weighs in on the controversy surrounding Wembanyama not shaking hands with the Knicks players after the game:

“This is the most contrived conversation I have ever heard..

This only happens, honestly, when we wanna bang on a player. And we want to bang on Victor Wembanyama right now because of the flagrant fouls and the stuff that he said afterwards.

I’m not waiting around for you to jump around with your teammates.. the Knicks were celebrating with each other for god knows how long. That’s like waiting at the end of a party to dap somebody up..

Victor Wembanyama after the game said we couldn’t sustain our concentration, that’s what I learned from Jalen Brunson. I’d rather a player say something like that.. than shaking your damn hand.”

LMAO WHEN WAS WEMBY NICE? BRO WAS ALWAYS BUILT LIKE THAT

[Ty @balldontTy]

can’t believe I’m forced to defend a fkn Spur but the narratives around Wemby rn are just flat out stupid. the truth should matter.

first, the run he just took the Spurs on was awesome.

35pt debut (franchise record), a 40/24 game. 3.5 stocks/gm. +21.6 on/off differential (hilarious)

led one of youngest teams ever to the Finals.

took down the defending champs.

led for 75% of the Finals & blew it - meaning more than anything they controlled their own destiny & capped themselves.

this narrative that he’s now a permanently scarred failure who’s legacy is cooked is hilarious.

22 yrs old. He, along w Castle & Harper, will only get better. They’ll absolutely be back.

Second & imo most important - in no world is Wemby a ‘dirty’ or immoral player. he had bad moments & lost composure, yeah. but if you think some shoves or elbows somehow makes him this unethical rotten thug of a player - *you* are soft (& delusional)

Nothing done by Wemby was anything different than moments we’ve seen from Jokic or Giannis. not even sniffing the depths of Draymond’s greatest hits.

the man is an 8ft 150lbs slinky being thrown around by earth’s greatest athletes. a body thrown at him every moment to counter his length (if you’ve played even JV level ball you’d understand).

Freedom of movement restricted. a man in your jock every step down the floor. that constant contact builds, frustration simmers, you go to make a basic play like set a screen, you flail, frustration pops, elbows thrown. it happens man it’s the nature of the sport. almost every Wemby flagrant was some run of the mill elbow or shove, called or not called - & fans act like he’s out there drop kicking knee caps or hammer fisting groins (wut). it’s a contact sport man tighten up.

I’d actually love for someone to clip together some Wemby footage showing how defenses are guarding him, the amount of contact he deals w on avg plays, how frequent & constant he’s fighting for position. at least give some context to what he’s battling against every time down the floor.

and last, his quotes & off court behavior. He’s a bit arrogant, likes to wax poetic & give genuine answers vs canned responses. I personally don’t mind it. I’ll take that vs chatgpt script responses all day. most of the stuff ppl crying about is heavily misquoted or out of context anyway. but what is it ppl want? we ask for confident, “real” Superstars & when we get it we cry that it’s all performative. listen to the full answer, stop letting the one sentence posted out of context in the caption form reality.

i’m gonna go throw up now for spending this much effort defending a Spur. but it had to be done. anyway you want to argue it, Wemby has been great for the league. he’s everything these ‘bring back the 90s’ advocates could dream for & if no one wants to defend him, I’ll take a minute to. what he just did these playoffs was genuinely incredible & he deserves the fair credit.

[Wemby Alien Era @WembyAlienEra]

Tim Bontemps reacts to the overreaction to Wembanyama’s quote:

“This is where the internet is a stupid place.

He got asked, how is everybody feeling coming off of this loss and how the groups feeling about coming back in the series.

And he said: ‘Everybody thinks they’re going to come back and win the series.’

What would everybody like Victor Wembanyama to say?

‘We’re screwed? We’re going to lose tomorrow by 30? The series is over?’

Like what the hell are we talking about.”

[Frank @Squirrely_Wrath]

It’s hilarious that 4 fanbases have now bitched about wemby just cause he’s not taking the shit their stupid players are trying on him. Love the hate

[Mike Herndon @MikeHerndonSk1]

Wemby gets illegally held away from the ball on damn near every possession and I don’t expect the refs to call it every time, but when it goes uncalled for entire games, I have zero issue with a “get the fuck off me” shove every now and then.

[Domo🦍 @thatsdomo1]

Wemby spent 3 series getting ABUSED by teams. Teams play him physically teams do lil dirty things to him 24/7 and its all been “apart of the game” but EVERY TIME Wemby does it back or shows he not with that BS yall sit him and try to paint him as French draymond 😂

[Rich @RichNice2k1]

I don't understand... last three years I been hearing how the game plan against Wemby is to beat him up and get physical... teams did and he got zero calls. Now he fighting back showing teams try it if you want to... and now people clutching their pearls lol.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Victor Wembanyama is averaging 29 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game this series.

But, all you’ll see is he’s being “dominated” in these NBA Finals.

The unfair standards fans hold him to is the problem with NBA discourse.

Wemby is having a terrific first Finals series at 22-years-old, and he and the Spurs are one win away from flipping the entire script, but everyone is quick to focus on his negatives.

Show some respect.

[Mari @MarisArcTalk]

Nah fuck that I’m dying on the hill. I watched this mf play in all his France games. Stayed up to watch France vs Japan and France vs Brazil. Not going out like that man. Gimmicks over idc what happens swept or not. I’m rocking wit you till the end bro. 💯

[𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙 🏀 @SpursRealist]

The Spurs have all other NBA fan bases and many former players on their side calling out OKC for their shitty play style and flopping. Meanwhile the Thunder have Skip Bayless and Draymond Green defending them 😂 wake tf up.
