"Spurs are the only team that it does not matter how you are playing defense"

[QUOTE=tpols;15040069]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.[/QUOTE]

Wilt absolutely could not do what Wembanyama could do. He just flat out couldn't. That's revisionist mythical Wilt bullshit.

And while the players were better than people give them credit for, overall they were substantially less athletic and smaller than today.

And as far as the court size goes, it's a hell of a lot bigger when you're the one out there running on it as opposed to just sitting there and watching.

Yes he could athletically. Even moreso. Wilt had combine Olympic measurables at over 7 feet tall and was more muscular and balanced. Wemby has much better dribbling and shooting skill and more length but not a ton more. He would honestly get beat up 1v1 vs Wilt if they had to body each other, no flopping. Only way he'd win is shooting over the top which isn't athleticism based winning.

He definitely couldn't or he would have.

You are kidding yourself.

Wilt was fast af and strong af for his height and he had a higher vert for sure but he could not cover the same amount of ground in the same amount of time WHILE ALSO MAKING A LEGIT CONTEST OF THE SHOT like Wemby does. He is 1 of 1.

If he could have, he would have.

While perimeter shooting is far more common today, there has never been a rule against playing this type of defense.

The 3 point shot has been around since 1961. Wilt retired in 73. He had plenty of years to run at three point shooting.

What do you mean if he could have he would have?

Wilt had triple doubles with blocks when they reviewed the footage. He was swatting shots left and right in an era where the blocked shot statistic didnt exist.

What are you smoking bro? I need some of it.

Having any type of serious discussion with people like you is frustrating because you randomly start saying things I didn't argue against.

I never said he didn't get a ton of blocks/undocumented blocks.

You tried to make an equivalency between how many 3pters were taken in the 60s and 70s vs today and acted like you had an honest point.

"If he could've he wouldve".

:facepalm :oldlol:

Its not a diss to be compared to Wilt. Your fan girl-ism here is off the charts.

Well I was mistaken about when the NBA added the three point line, nevertheless. Wilt was blocking shots near the basket. Wembanyama is blocking them all over the court. And you can't assume you're safe even if you have a ton of space.

Wilt could not contest the three point line like Wemby does while still being in the paint while the play unfolds. That's just reality.

Nope, the bitch is obviously shook. All it took was saying Wemby was playing like a DPOY to trigger him. :lol

That's Bronie fluffers for ya. :confusedshrug:

The only person who is shook about Wemby is your pal 3ball. The same guy who said he would bust. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=3ba11;14967265]Wemby doesn't shoot, dribble or score as well as many other shooters or ball-handlers, so he doesn't have a skill advantage compared to his peers, while Duncan dominated the post better than his peers, so Duncan won right away.. Wemby will always be stuck trying to be guard, so he'll never have an advantage on his peers from a skill standpoint, or achieve the chemistry that Duncan did.

But he'll always be a great stat-padder, so you guys will hold on for a long time before you realize that putting an 8 footer so far from the rim is bad for chemistry.[/QUOTE]

Nice deflection. If you weren't shook, then you wouldn't get so triggered by Wemby already being better than prime Lebron.

Truth hurts.

Me during Wemby's first game of the season.

[QUOTE=1987_Lakers;15038879]We have never seen a player like Wemby before.[/QUOTE]

Meanwhile, 3ball said he would bust.

Idk what it is about Bron haters and evaluating talent. You thought Morant would be the face of the league.

:roll:

Yep, I thought he might. But then he made a bunch of dumb decisions and looks like he's already peaked out. But unlike a Bronie fluffer, I don't emotionally wrap myself around another dude. Jordan is the clear GOAT, but if and when Wemby passes him up, I won't be fuming and living in denial.

You on the other hand, can't even acknowledge the documented evidence that Lebron is the worst choker of all time. :lol Clearly a shook bitch.

Dumb decisions you defended.

Does he legally own it? Then who cares. Good for him.[/QUOTE]
