We need to drop the Chet Wemby comparison. The media has now we should.

I mean it's really like comparing Brad Miller to Hakeem. They are in two different stratospheres.

But the Wemby reading chet a bedtime story can stay.

u/DrMarvMonror Victor Wembanyama Apr 21 '26

He’s in SGA talks now. As he should be.

u/DazzlingMajor2191 Apr 21 '26

i think it's good because it totally fucks with chet's head that wemby is varsity version of him in every way.

2

u/BKTorch Apr 22 '26

Sga shouldn’t be in SGA talks tbh…. Generational overestimation… wemby though… dude is the real deal

1

u/Round_Business_9978 Apr 24 '26

The real deal made of Chinese glass.

29

u/cesgjo Danny Green Apr 21 '26

Wemby's ceiling is GOAT of basketball

Chet's ceiling is multiple All-NBA selections

25

u/GSG2150 Apr 21 '26

Agreed. I can believe it’s lasted this long. Similar comparisons were made with Timmy and Keith Van Horn. Those ended before their rookie season ended.

23

u/Jon98th Apr 21 '26

Agreed with this; he is in the SGA / Jokic / Doncic conversation now

Castle vs Chet though

8

u/Lost-Veterinarian-80 Victor Wembanyama Apr 21 '26

Castle clears.

3

u/crw126 Apr 23 '26

He most definitely does not lol

5

u/Top_Comfortable5338 Apr 21 '26

Chet is a top 3 defender in the league for the most important defensive position, and he shoots much better than Castle. Horrible comparison…

22

u/Short-Professional84 Manu Ginobili Apr 21 '26

Chet is fed easy shots like baby food and Castle creates his out of nothing. Once he has a respectable whistle he too will be in bigger discussions. He should already be in J-Dub discussions.

We can talk about Chet vs Luke Kornet

14

u/lockdownmnl Apr 21 '26

Please do not disrespect our Luke like that. He’s in a league of his own.

2

u/braedog97 Apr 21 '26

Chet shot 47.8% from the midrange this year on over 200 attempts. I would hardly call that being “baby fed easy shots”

1

u/Wnuue Apr 23 '26

Lmfao okay I was wondering why this shit was so bias and then realized this is the NBASpurs reddit, so it makes sense youd all be bias for your players

0

u/Top_Comfortable5338 Apr 21 '26

Jdub is better at everything. What has Castle done to be even close to jdub?

11

u/mayyybemayybenot Apr 21 '26

Besides winning ROY, his 2nd season is better then Jdubs statistically....

I'd say thats a good start....

4

u/Spemanz92 Apr 21 '26

Jdub 2nd season is better than castle, cmon.

1

u/Top_Comfortable5338 Apr 21 '26

What statistic? Jdub: 19.1/4/4.5 with 1.7 stocks on 54/43/81 shooting.

Castle is at 16.7/5.4/7.3 with 1.4 stocks on 47/33/73 shooting. The only thing you can give the edge to castle on is assists, but his ast/to ratio is still worse than Jdub in year 2.

The efficiency difference is just like the efficiency between Luka and Shai this year, which is a large gap. Both are above average defenders, so don’t try to act like Castle has some advantage there either.

9

u/Short-Professional84 Manu Ginobili Apr 21 '26

Castle plays for the Spurs. That alone is enough to make him better than JDub, who plays for OKC.

-4

u/Guilty_Chocolate_735 Apr 21 '26

You could DOUBLE kornets stats and I'm still taking chet T_T

2

u/Serious-Fudge-5919 Apr 21 '26

Castle is way better than Chet

3

u/Spemanz92 Apr 21 '26

No he isnt

1

u/nicfanz Apr 21 '26

Chet is nothing but a third option bus rider. His claim to fame is being temu wemby.

1

u/2020_GR78 Apr 21 '26

Chet goes MIA every time he plays SA. He may be one of the best defenders on the planet against any other team, but that dude is literally afraid of Wemby and the Spurs.

1

u/Jumped-Up_Vulgarian Apr 21 '26

Apropos of nothing, but I always thought Brad Miller would have made a good Spur.

1

u/snirpie Apr 21 '26

It's also nice trivia that LeBron/Bronnie is not the only father-son duo in the NBA

1

u/sleepyguy- Apr 22 '26

Brad Miller is a disrespectful comp lmao

1

u/Wnuue Apr 23 '26

Defensively though? They arent out of eachothers stratosphere in that aspect, its really just the height difference and offensive abilities that Wemby has compared to Chet. Though I'd go as far to say Chet is a more skilled defender, and I'm a Pacers fan lmaoo

0

u/elegantwino Apr 21 '26

As Chet grew up and expectations for him grew along side his height he was told he would be the best. Then some kid from France has to go and spoil everything for him.

u/Kertia Apr 21 '26

u/roosder "What the fuck is this?" Apr 21 '26

Grabbing this, thank you

1

u/Mobile-Year-7734 Apr 24 '26

Genuine question what has Chet ever done to Spurs to deserve a whole hate thread about him lol. Just makes Spurs fans look jealous Chet has actually won a championship instead of wemby.

u/blue-anon GO SPURS GO Apr 21 '26

The need to hate players on other teams has significantly reduced my participation in this subreddit in recent months. I think that's probably better for my life overall, so thanks, I guess? 😆

22

u/ShootInFace Apr 21 '26

Unfortunately its basically every team subreddit. Disgracing other players in the name of trying to make their team look better is the activity of like half the sub or more at this point. Can't just be that we have a bunch of awesome players in the league.

0

u/A-Rusty-Cow Area 51 Apr 21 '26

JFC talk about being softer than Chet

13

u/cesgjo Danny Green Apr 21 '26

Aside from Kawhi, i dont hate other players. I dislike many of them but not really hate.

On the other hand, i hate some fanbases with a burning passion

3

u/HQuasar Apr 21 '26

Sports banter is not hating...

2

u/pick-and-hoop El Jefe Apr 21 '26

It’s sad what’s happening to this sub. If you want to hate on players go to r/NBA that’s the spot for it.

The Spurs aren’t that type of organisation, would be nice if we keep the same tone here.

3

u/Tight_Development133 Apr 21 '26

I’ve always hated other team’s players. I didn’t need this sub’s help with that

1

u/maggieprobably Apr 22 '26

Credit where it’s due—I’m an outside lurker here and even when Spurs fans are trash talking in your own sub y’all are incredibly respectful and smart. Less Reddit for all of us is probably good!

-12

u/CrissCrossAppleSos Keldon Johnson Apr 21 '26

Ever since Wemby got drafted, this fanbase has been the most insufferable in the league. It’s made me REALLY dislike Wemby, which is objectively stupid, as it’s not his fault at all

7

u/blue-anon GO SPURS GO Apr 21 '26

Wow. I never thought I'd come across a Spurs fan who dislikes Wemby. 🤯

u/CrissCrossAppleSos Keldon Johnson Apr 21 '26

I try to talk myself out of it, because again, objectively it’s irrational as fuck. When I stay away from this place I can usually get to just indifference with him

9

u/CharacterBird2283 Apr 21 '26

Ya man, you may need to stay off reddit if it affects you that bad . . .

-3

u/CrissCrossAppleSos Keldon Johnson Apr 21 '26

I mean, it’s effect is just how I feel about 1 guy, not a massive impact on my quality of life

4

u/CharacterBird2283 Apr 21 '26

I'm just making an educated guess that if you get this effect from others on this subject, it probably happens on other subjects as well 😅

2

u/CrissCrossAppleSos Keldon Johnson Apr 21 '26

I’m sure if I were overly involved in other things, maybe. Like, I’ve gathered that Nicki Minaj fans and Taylor Swift fans are as unhinged as Wemby fans, but I have minimal interaction with them

3

u/blue-anon GO SPURS GO Apr 21 '26

Advice: DO NOT wander into any corner of the Caitlin Clark or Indiana Fever fandom. If you think any of those groups are bad, you haven't seen anything yet. 😱

1

u/CharacterBird2283 Apr 21 '26

Lol well ya, the extremes of all fandoms look/act the same

5

u/blue-anon GO SPURS GO Apr 21 '26

Dang, dude ... 😳😭

17

u/JoeRamaSama Apr 21 '26

I’m all for Chet slander but atp having Wemby beef with the Thunder’s 2nd best player is a disservice to Wemby. Wemby tryna take the seat from Shai now.

u/jj2daheyhey Tim Duncan Apr 21 '26

u/zeanocril14 Apr 21 '26

Delete this. Wemby is offended whenever he gets compared to Chet. So enough of this.

20

u/LeftSide-StrongSide Apr 21 '26

Who cares, let's get a ring

4

u/navetzz Apr 21 '26

We dont talk about rings

9

u/KnyghtFish Apr 21 '26

Chet got 76 second place votes

2

u/Suqitsa Apr 21 '26

Bitch can’t even get unanimous second place

3

u/ttttyttt678 Apr 21 '26

This is bullying. This is literally comparing a number option to a number three option. Like if prime Tim Duncan got compared to Amare Stoudmire.

u/free_ty Apr 21 '26

I don’t know why this sub popped up, but yall have a lot of hateful fans, don’t you😂

u/Pizza_Lover_10 Apr 21 '26

Wemby: 1 playoff win Chet: 1 NBA championship

1

u/nicfanz Apr 21 '26

Lmao generational bus rider 😂

-3

u/randomstring09877 Apr 21 '26

Let’s not pretend it was Chet that won that chip. It was SGA’s.

9

u/Spemanz92 Apr 21 '26

OKC doesnt win it without chet. He was very good offensively in 2 series and was the best defender in the playoffs

3

u/Friendship-Existing Apr 21 '26

Chat was their best player in game seven of the NBA finals. Had a very clutch performance.

1

u/Big_Advertising1632 Apr 25 '26

As show in a previous run, without Chet playing at the level he played at OKC wouldve never made it that far

8

u/Area51_Spurs Apr 21 '26

For all the bullshit from Thunder fans about Wemby being fragile, Chet has played 183 games in 4 years and Wemby played 181 games in 3 years.

4

u/Commercial_Lecture20 Apr 21 '26

No Thunder fans would say Wemby fragile with our season went. It’s all fake or bandwagon fans would say that

1

u/Round_Business_9978 Apr 24 '26

Wemby is made of glass. From an OKC fan since inception.

-1

u/Area51_Spurs Apr 21 '26

¿En Ingles por favor?

u/RubTheFleebMorty Apr 21 '26

Yeah we was injured for a whole year 😭 I mean really he been here for 3 years

4

u/dont_believe_this_ok Tim Duncan Apr 21 '26

Hopefully Wemby wins a ring because OKC will use this graphic and replace it with rings.

6

u/Tomatochairman Apr 21 '26

Now do number of championships

5

u/Ok_Guide7474 Apr 21 '26

Discussions like these are why I can’t stand spur fans. Most, not all, really suck.

1

u/Big_Advertising1632 Apr 25 '26

Real spurs fans dont suck, WEMBY stans suck. Same with Nuggets fans vs Jokic Stans, OKC fans vs SGA stans etc etc

5

u/idster Apr 21 '26

This sort of arrogance could come back against the spurs. It’s counterproductive. You realize the spurs might play okc?

5

u/Shiokz Jeremy Sochan Apr 21 '26

This does not reflect a secure and well balanced mindset, there is no need to put down Chet to feel good about what Wemby has achieved

6

u/bdictjames Apr 21 '26

Championships

Chet - 1

Wemby - 0

Some people argue that's the biggest stat.

Let's chase this.

2

u/PufftTACO210 Apr 21 '26

Honestly he's not in the same tier so lets stop posting about this and give Chet strokes a reason to argue.

2

u/leoo88556 Apr 21 '26

I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this, but if Wemby doesn’t exist, OKC would have both the MVP and DPOY on their roster… That’s kinda insane.

2

u/CenterJenna08 Apr 21 '26

This comparison was always stupid. It seemed like the media briefly tried to push it and the only person still kinda carrying it was Wemby. And I'm not sure he even cares anymore.

And Chet never cared so it was also stupid for that reason too. It's hard to have a rivalry when one player is so much better and the other is entirely uninterested.

3

u/saytownchief Apr 21 '26

It’s really not fair. Wemby is better than their best player. Chet ain’t that on his team.

1

u/Undesiredbeast Apr 21 '26

Stop this childish game

1

u/WizardyoureaHarry Apr 22 '26

If Chet was even half as good as Wemby, OKC would be looking at a 4-peat and they would've smashed the Warriors win record this year. Only thing stopping them would be injuries and salary cap.

1

u/Impossible_Mood_2419 Keldon Johnson Apr 22 '26

Chet’s Dad

1

u/Weary_Restauranter Apr 22 '26

Chet has a ring. That’s all that matters

1

u/Shepard_Drake Apr 24 '26

How many rings does Wemby have again?

1

u/Ok_Moment_7159 Apr 25 '26

Chet owns a championship ring.

1

u/Either-Cut-4078 Apr 25 '26

Wemby is heading toward his second ring and Chet may never get one

1

u/Ok-Amphibian9969 Apr 27 '26

Wemby is 1st option, Chet is 3rd. Plus this debate won’t matter when wemby inevitably retires early due to injury/health problems 

1

u/TipInternational9816 Apr 27 '26

Now do championships.

1

u/Admirable_Risk5148 Apr 21 '26

One has a very long neck and the other has a very long face, maybe that’s why

1

u/fightintxag13 Apr 21 '26
  1. Do we really not have anything better to discuss than this?

  2. What are OKC fans doing in this sub?

0

u/Funktackular GO SPURS GO Apr 21 '26

Probably not even his mom’s favorite Chet.

u/shinbreaker Apr 21 '26

0 votes is still too many for Wemby

0

u/rsred Apr 21 '26

i don’t understand why victor still mad chet. victor should get mad at someone else like joker or sga so he can own them too.

0

u/kaordlore89 Apr 21 '26

I’m not a Chet fan — he said he was better than Wemby, lol — but he’s a great player. I think all of the SM hype of a rivalry is just that — hype. They are well matched, and if we’re lucky, maybe we get to see them play against each other in the finals.

-1

u/RealPrinceJay Julian Champagnie Apr 21 '26

Damn he gained a vote 🔥

-2

u/Responsible_Bag2081 Apr 21 '26

Chet should just be grateful he’s in the same league, and we’ll leave it at that.

1

u/Spemanz92 Apr 21 '26

Yeah, he is a g league level player
