He made a move from the elbow on offense last night that was shockingly quick. Like, quick for a SF.

If this guy doesn't get DPOY then there's something wrong.

Says the guy who thought Morant should have won MVP one year.

You sound bitter, desperate, and dumb. :roll:
In 2022 he was 27/6/7 and led his team to second seed in the west. He was absolutely in the conversation for MVP. Of course then he got injured and ended up only playing 57 games, so it was moot. You were just upset because Morant totally sonned your hero LeShrivel - who just happened to lead a super team to the lottery that year. :lol
But go ahead, I'd love for you to try to make the case that Wemby is not looking like a DPOY so far. Show off that IQ of yours.

That's cute. Jokic was at 27/14/8 on much better efficiency. Embiid was at 30/12/4
Morant didn't even finish top 5 in that MVP voting. He missed like 25 games.
Speaking of missing 25 games, his team went 20-5 without him that year.
This is your MVP???

^Bitch is SHOOK. :roll:
I see what's going on. Trying to distract from his low IQ take, because he knows that Wemby is already better than prime Lebron. Yep, bitch is most definitely shook.

Nobody is "shook", you're just really, really dumb and really, really confident that everything you think and say is gold with no room for uncertainty. It's very likely that if you got tested, your IQ would be in the double digits.

He should and likely would have gotten it last year if he made the 65 cut-off. Its hard to imagine a more impactful defender over the next decade so the all-time DPOY award mark is his to take, but no doubt the league will do the 'we're bored od voting for this guy' thing a few ttimes. Frankly its not out of the realm he does MVP/ DPOY/ this year and be like top 3 in PPG/RPG. I got Luka for the scoring title but he needs to obviously hit the 65 game threshold( and already out in week one :facepalm).

He would have easily won DPOY last season if he didn't get injured. A healthy Wemby should win DPOY for the next 10 years or so given there isn't anybody in the league who provides his defensive impact, but there will be a few years where the voters will get tired of him and give it to someone like Amen Thompson or Mobley. That's just how the league runs.
I'm still amazed Duncan never won a DPOY, they gave it to Camby over him one year just because he led the league in blocks.
Re: "Spurs are the only team that it does not matter how you are playing defense"
He will win DPOY 10x in a row if he stays healthy and the voters are honest. We know the voters won't be honest, so some dumb ****** that has aesthetically impressive defensive plays that doesn't have half the team defensive impact will win once or twice in there but if the guy has another 10+ years in him he [I]should[/I] win DPOY every single year unless he gets hurt or stops caring.
He should also be 10x MVP but we know for sure the voters will lie so they can talk about someone else instead of letting that happen.
He's already the most valuable player in the league and it's not remotely close, provided he stays healthy.
He's the best player that ever played already. GOAT status is in the conversation but remains up in the air because too many things have to break right and he has to stick around.

Basketball courts look much bigger on TV than they do in person at games. Much wider, but they're really not. With his length and quickness he can pretty much cover space instantly.

They are plenty wide. The problem is Wembanyama. Nobody has ever existed that can consistently cover the same amount of ground in the same amount of time and still go for a block. He is 1 of 1 in NBA history.
If they want to neutralize him in the league office, yes, they will have to make the court bigger and the three point line a bit further out but that will have even further detrimental impact on defense throughout the league.

I'm saying even when I went to games where normal pros were playing sitting behind the FT line looking vertically... the court is much slimmer than what you see on wide angle TV view. So it makes it even that more egregious with a freak like Wemby.
Also Wilt could pretty much do that too. I think they widened the court for him as well with the paint. Wilt had a little less length but he was faster stronger and could leap further at like 7'2.
