  1. Class acts all of them. Through and through.
    Rooting for Spurs throughout playoffs, but can't help but feel bad for OKC.

    Be nice if there were a way everyone could win

  2. The league is in good hands. Each year, the overall talent of the players is better, and they are ready for playoffs.

  3. 2:35 🇫🇷👽French journalist : Victor, are you allowing yourself to enjoy tonight’s win or are you already thinking about the Knicks?

    Wemby the Alien : It's impossible not to enjoy it. It's way too hard! I haven't built a large enough emotional reservoir yet—it's impossible not to enjoy a moment like this. It's overflowing. We'll have to lock back in pretty soon but for now it's an incredible feeling.

  4. I speak for literally every single fan (outside of Oklahoma) when I say that Wemby singlehandedly saved the NBA.

  5. There's so much about these Spurs that reminds me of the Celtics in the Jays era, before they lost in the Finals – the happiness, the emotion, the energy they cultivate. Boston got real close a couple times, and realized they needed to get more professional, and it has cost the team some of its spirit – I wonder if Wembanyama's incredible impact puts the Spurs over the top without having the sacrifice the joy of playing. Teams that can play loose when the chips are down are dangerous, and it looks, right now, like the Spurs are one of those teams. Crazy to think how much of this core will be around for awhile.

  6. Let’s FN GOOOOOO!!!!!! WEMBY SMACKED SGA OVER THE HEAD WIT THAT TROPHY 🏆 SGA WON MVP CUZ OF BS POLITICS. WEMBY SHOWED US WHY IT SHOULDA BEEN HIM!!!!

  7. I am happy for Wemby but they need to finish! Hey, even if they don't I am happy Wemby got to experience this at such a young age. Go Spurs!!!

  8. “hopefully it doesn’t become an addiction, maybe it is already…” man you really can’t hate this guy. Go Wemby, GoSpursGo!

  9. All the Spurs attack dogs showed up, Dylan, Julian, Vic, Fox, Keldon, Devin, Dylan contributed big time and why they won. Their bench is good but can be better.. they need to get deeper and grab those rebounds. And as I said before Fox is the key for them to beat OKC. He was injured and they lost and came back but didn't play well, they lost. When he scores in double figures + 5+ assist….they win most of the time. The finals will be fun too against the Knicks, very good team with veterans and a little devil point guard Brunson. The Spurs need to put dogs on him to slow him down together…. The knicks have a good chance too to win. The odds are 55% for The Spurs and 45% for The knicks. IMO.

  10. This team has Pop’s imprint all over it. From Mitch to the camaraderie, the humbleness and self sacrifice for the team. Inspirational stuff.

  11. That near death experience really fast tracked this dudes ascendency. He is laser hyper focused.

    It feels like the star is burning too bright too fast.

    I think Wemby knows something we don’t.

    Wishing him good health. It’s been great to witness his progression.
