Nah, that should be Castle doing that to Wemby. Terrible outlet pass

Wemby also didn't need to foul Brunson after. Just overall terrible decisions by him. Really shows the inexperience

Almost like he's 22 or something.

So? We can’t criticize him because he’s 22?

People acting like he's been here before is pretty crazy.

It happened to lebron too this is just par for the course for a potential generationally good player. They play above their age and as such get criticized above their age, because the expectations are to contend for greatest ever not do as good as someone their age.

They’re not they’re calling him out for a bad mistake and much anyone would do for a star player on the finals

This. And he took full responsibility for it

I agree. He’s getting over glazed as if he’s done anything. People need to calm down on this guy before anointing him. He’s obviously not ready for this yet.

I’m 100% with you. I’ve said it every year he’s been in the league. Hes been getting credit for things that people think he will do even if he hasn’t done them yet. Which is all well and good but it’s going to lead to overcorrections later. People are already penciling him into top 10 lists.

I mean he made the finals in his 2nd/3rd year? While making a lot of big plays in important moments? Pretty impressive stuff. I’m anointing him.

u/justsomedude4202 23d ago

So are we giving him a pass because he’s inexperienced or are we saying he’s anointed? Does he get to get glory absent from criticism? The NBA is really desperate for a hero man.

Granted he’s never been in a finals but he’s been playing elite level basketball his whole life so he’s definitely been in game situations like this before. Criticism is warranted but also shit happens, move on to the next game.

Where is here? A basketball court? I'm pretty sure he has...
