Thats the point I'm really making. His learning curve has been even quicker than I imagined.
Great for the Spurs.
Great for the NBA
Bad for the other 29 teams.
Robinson did not look fit to play towards the end of the game, especially after it look like he tweaked his knee again. Hope is okay. But I agree... that look... that's the look of "Well, this is ing pointless" - the same look Thomas Bryant had in pre-season
Lots of reporting on the 40/20 game, but it goes further that that. Wemby is only the 5th player in the modern era (post-1980) to do a 40/20/7, and the only one to do it in under 40 minutes. In fact, John Drew is the only player to do it in under 40 minutes when he posted 40/25/7 in 1974 (though I'm not sure if these others had hit it before 40 minutes):
3/29/2024 - Wemby 40/20/7
12/28/2022 - Giannis 45/22/7 (Note: only guy to do it with no 3PM)
12/27/2022 - Luka 60/21/10
12/18/2022 - Joker 40/27/10
1/22/2018 - Boogie 44/23/10
Fun fact, Joker's 40/27/10 game against Dallas... Luka one upped him 9 days later when they re-matched.

And Wemby gave up his career high ball, which is pretty cool.
I can't wait for Wemby to make the playoffs and truly showcase his ability to quickly make opponent-specific adjustments.
Guys,
i just discovered a very good nickname/monicker for our young god, Wemby
i was listening to the commentator in the last game, and boom
how about
AMAZING GRACE....................yeah, AMAZING GRACE Wembbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
No. Not Amazing Grace. Not Wama.
Wemby or The Alien.
I like Big Vic but we definitely need to find him a cool nickname
It's really hard to believe how blessed the Spurs and Wemby are both to have ended up with each other. Truly special.
Big Vic Energy
Why didn’t I think about it!!
Silver is such a chode.
how is that and incident? In Europe, players throw the ball or their jerseys in the stands all the time, specially in football. Its for the fans, it should be celebrated, not fined. You don't need to be an NBA player to know how to catch a ball.Silver is such a chode.
I'd imagen the spirit of the rule was to target angry dip s like Draymond if they ever do this not throwing the ball into the stands in celebration for a win. Maybe the NBA sells these balls and you're taking money out of Silvers pockets when you do this.
Shifting from Big Vic energy and his ball outburst.....
I am really impressed with how well he's holding up to being bodied in the paint for over 70 NBA games. I wondered if his frame could handle the abuse at the start of the year.
Besides his great skills, confidence, demeanor and clutches, he might end up being pretty durable. Once he adds some strength and gets some better teammates, it's over.
I think he might be more durable than players his height usually are, because of his way of playing the game. He's playing very fluidly, he isn't forcing anything like Shaq, he doesn't jump out of the gym, actually he doesn't even jump very high most of the time because he doesn't have to.
I remember Kareem saying Yoga allowed him to have a long career (Bruce Lee taught him that apparently) and I tend to agree with him. And Victor is extremely flexible, that's something he's worked on for years already.
He takes some abuse but he also sleeps very well, so there are many tells that indicate he could be more durable than most. He surely does everything he can towards that at least.
Big Vic
spiritual successor to Danny Green
The French Freak.
It’s too bad that Gobert got here first. I like two of his: The French Rejection and the Stifle Tower.
Draymond got fined for the same for choking Gobert lol
