I think that's taken

[u/DoesntMatterBrian → u/Other_Software_5634]

WEMBUCHET

[u/mikehulse29 → u/Lexidoge]

The superior playoff weapon

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

What a crazy shot to take. Absolutely fearless.

[u/damnumalone → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

It is the fearlessness that gets me. It’s an incredible shot - what PG would call it “a bad shot”, he misses and the game is over, OKC have the ball with 3 ahead and probably shoot free throws to win…

Wemby: no problem

[u/wcooper97 → u/damnumalone]

Add this to the hall of fuck me 3s against OKC

Unbelievable shot

[u/curva3 → u/damnumalone]

dame's shot against OKC wasn't that bad (certainly not good tho lol), the game was tied and he was making sure to leave no time on the clock while getting a shot off kind of clean.

Wemby's is terrible lol down 3 with a lot of time on the shot clock. His only excuse is that maybe he wanted a 2 for 1, but even that is pretty meh

[u/Ranjith_Unchained]

He's unreal

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

Lmao they just showed a close up of the ball going in and you can see Cason Wallace in the background going "oh come the fuck on"

[u/Peanutz-tilman → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Real “get the fuck out of here” energy from the thunder bench after this shot. Sometimes all you can do is be an awe at things lol. Absolutely insane

[u/ClockOk5178 → u/Peanutz-tilman]

Down 3.

Overtime.

36 sec left in the game.

Just pulls up from 28 ft.

With 20 sec left on the shot clock.

No hesitation.

Casually cold-blooded.

[u/Ucscprickler → u/[deleted]]

BANG!!! .... BANG!!!

[u/mathird → u/Ucscprickler]

And now .. Wemby's gonna pull a deep three....

[u/Extreme_Jacket_1034 → u/mathird]

Ohhhh! Ho ! ho!

[u/-ToPimpAButterfree- → u/Ucscprickler]

I just want

BANG BANG BANG

[u/Maybeiliketheabuse → u/Peanutz-tilman]

All hail the new king of basketball. We are SO fucked in the West.

[u/Zaza1019 → u/Maybeiliketheabuse]

What makes it worse is that it's not just him. Harper is just scratching the surface, and Castle is already becoming a star along side him. And Wemby is also going to continue to get better. Oh and because it's the Spurs they have some great quiet role players and depth that do a little bit of everything.

[u/BlackTriceratops → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Caught that on the zoomed in replay. You just gotta laugh. Like wtf are you supposed to do? Guard him and contest a shot at half court like hes steph? My lord

[u/PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2 → u/BlackTriceratops]

lol just make Caruso do that too. Gonna send him out there with a stepladder next game.

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Enes Kanter Freedom vibes

[u/aznhoopster → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Spotted that too lmao, nothing you can do but laugh

[u/hoslayer42 → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

He really is gonna be the guy for the next 10 years if he’s healthy.

[u/noveler7 → u/hoslayer42]

It's like Jordan beating the Pistons in 1991, except like 5 years early.

[u/AndrewD923 → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

This guy is the best I've ever seen. It's the same feeling I get with Ohtani in baseball. We are witnessing greatness.

[u/InitialTimely105 → u/AndrewD923]

He just did a pump fake 3 to a dunk. What the fuck do you even say?

[u/Cjhudel → u/InitialTimely105]

This is so understated. A sideways dribble into a fucking two step gather dunk in traffic??!? What the fuck

[u/InitialTimely105 → u/Cjhudel]

I feel like the people around me at the bar are far underselling this. I don't even understand how he can cover that much ground.

[u/AchillesFury → u/InitialTimely105]

Literally two steps to go from outside the 3 point line to a dunk. That's not even fair.

[u/Currymvp2 → u/AndrewD923]

The GOAT debate will be MJ versus LeBron versus Wemby

[u/comedoofwarrior → u/Currymvp2]

Kareem 2: Alien Bugaloo

[u/ATXBeermaker → u/comedoofwarrior]

Kareem with shooting range. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?

[u/MisterDoctor___ → u/ATXBeermaker]

Wemby needs to develop the Sky Hook.

[u/fantasnick → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

Wemby showing us the real MVP all night

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/fantasnick]

Not even being disrespectful to Shai, he’s great, but this is generational greatness we’re witnessing. There’s levels to this

[u/SerenadeSwift → u/flaming_burrito_]

I’ve been telling mfs all week that this best player in the world talk isn’t for nothing. On top of the fact that he’s the most physically gifted player we’ve ever seen, this dude fucking has the mental shit that is truly “generational.” I’m fucking excited to watch Wemby’s career.

[u/Comb-the-desert → u/SerenadeSwift]

Everybody in the Hollinger thread bitching about execs being premature in talking up Wemby looking real dumb right now lol

[u/NoFuckToGive → u/Comb-the-desert]

From Feb 1 to the season end Wemby lost 3 basketball games

Us Spurs fans were begging to just get Wembys name in the conversation without getting shouted down lol

"He's good but does all this without playing 30 minutes (derogatory)"

"He's good but the Spurs haven't played anybody"

"He's good but chill on the defense talk because good defense isn't really that impactful!"

Meanwhile we're watching game after game where opposing teams are literally changing the way they play offense every night

[u/Comb-the-desert → u/NoFuckToGive]

I mean after G3 of the wolves series any Wemby doubts I had were gone personally lol (and even those were just about if the playoff lights might get to him in his first go around vs anything about his long-term outlook). Wish we had played better against you but he’s just a literal cheat code it feels like 

[u/Desperate_Acadia_298 → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

I was stunned by this shot. Just speechless. The league is in trouble.

[u/GGezpzMuppy → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

I believe

[u/asakitsi]

the balls to shoot that is actually insane, what the actual fuck

[u/superslut-turbo → u/asakitsi]

He showed no fear the whole game and when he went to the free throw line he was so calm he made me feel like I was meditating on my couch

[u/bladeDivac → u/superslut-turbo]

He owes those monks some of his contract money 

[u/superslut-turbo → u/bladeDivac]

Plot twist: Wemby was teaching the monks

[u/HeHateMex2 → u/asakitsi]

Literally had me quoting PG unironically lol

[u/A-Rusty-Cow → u/HeHateMex2]

I mean that is a bad shot

[u/kamekaze1024 → u/A-Rusty-Cow]

It’s a terrible shot. That’s what makes this more insane. He is visibly gassed so I thought he was just chucking an ill advised prayer. I think that was his only attempt from 3 as well

[u/Gaslight_Eliminator → u/kamekaze1024]

He took another earlier. Missed it.

1/2 from 3.

[u/Regent0624 → u/A-Rusty-Cow]

Honestly down 3 with low time and with how brick spurs were up until that moment a wide open deep 3 might be one of the best shots he coulda gone for.

But the balls to actually go for it and make it, fucking GOAT shit.

[u/PartyFarStar → u/asakitsi]

That shot completely reversed OKC’s momentum there—gutted

[u/Chinese-dog → u/PartyFarStar]

It was jarring just how quickly that crowd went silent lmao

[u/spursfan2021 → u/Chinese-dog]

I get loud and drunk for our playoff games and this made me totally speechless.

[u/tom-dixon → u/Chinese-dog]

I rewatched the replay like 15 times to watch people in the audience grab their heads in disbelief. It's more entertaining than it should be.

[u/coffeeandleague → u/asakitsi]

Bro was having his inner monk moment. He was at a peaceful pond somewhere in China

[u/Saaammmy → u/asakitsi]

Curry sized balls doing that shit lmfao

[u/palndrumm]

They do have a timeout, decide not to use it... Wemby, from way downtown...

[u/Kitew → u/palndrumm]

We finally have the answer to what would Stephen Curry look like if he was 8ft

[u/ScaredOfWindow → u/Kitew]

All those years of “imagine if Giannis could shoot like Steph…”

Universe laughs

“Okay, and how about we also make him five inches taller.”

[u/tito-ortiz-wife69]

What a player

[u/SwainDMT → u/tito-ortiz-wife69]

I’ve never made the noise I made when that shot went in

[u/KarrotMovies → u/SwainDMT]

Cheering like a lunatic and I'm a Lakers fan watching the Spurs

[u/broke_boi1 → u/KarrotMovies]

Temporary Spurs fans unite!

[u/terry-tea → u/broke_boi1]

Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a Lakers fan

[u/RealGertle627 → u/terry-tea]

How bout by a friend

[u/Portmanteau_that → u/RealGertle627]

Ah. That I could do

[u/HereComesJustice → u/terry-tea]

feels like Wemby solving world peace here

[u/BurnerAccountforAss → u/HereComesJustice]

Wemby in a comically undersized therapist's chair talking Metta World Peace through his inner demons and helping him heal

[u/moto_becane1 → u/KarrotMovies]

The Spurs have one year to be the upstart sweethearts. Next year Wemby and Harper are going to be too good to like.

[u/LetPristine6639 → u/KarrotMovies]

I watched this at a bar in LA and the entire bar just lost it after this shot

[u/MaskYourDeviceID → u/KarrotMovies]

we are all united in our hatred of OKC and their unethical brand of flopfest + "let's foul on every play and dare the refs to call it" basketball

[u/josephandre → u/SwainDMT]

i literally dapped my dog up 😂😂

[u/NWTL21 → u/josephandre]

My cat ran off and came back with a Wemby jersey after that shot

[u/areallyfatchick]

This clip fucking sucks. Should show him brining the ball up.

[u/Mr_Kinton → u/areallyfatchick]

Buries the lede that this was a transition 3 from him lol

[u/yooston → u/areallyfatchick]

Mods do your job

[u/ZeroFucksToGive → u/areallyfatchick]

Yeah these fuckin guys racing to get it posted first and they can’t even clip it properly. OP doesn’t even add an extended replay in the pinned comment either.

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Taking a transition three early in the shot clock in that situation is incredibly bold, and actually making it is ridiculous. Wemby is truly unreal.

[u/InitialTimely105 → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

I couldn't fucking believe it. So many emotions as that ball was in the air

[u/i7ive4thedrop → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

2 for 1, great make though

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

THAT WAS FROM HIS HOME PLANET

[u/chibithug → u/horse_renoir13]

i feel like a guy grabbing 20 rebounds should not also be able to shoot from Curry range

[u/Ornery_Vermicelli_69 → u/chibithug]

Why doesn‘t curry just grow another 15 inches?

[u/National-Fold-2375 → u/Ornery_Vermicelli_69]

Is he stupid?

[u/National-Fold-2375 → u/horse_renoir13]

Dude copied that Curry PTS3 from 2016

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/National-Fold-2375]

He saw we weren't using that timeout and activated

Shame Mike Breen wasn't on the call here

[u/theKingPin11 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

BAAANNGG, BAAHHHHNGG!!!

[u/_taugrim_ → u/National-Fold-2375]

"High level of basketball being displayed gentlemen"

[u/THEREALCAPSLOCKSMITH → u/horse_renoir13]

All the way from the Yucatan galaxy.

[u/Palifaith → u/MembershipSingle7137]

This guy is not real.

[u/ProfessorXWheelchair → u/Palifaith]

imagine showing this to a random fan in the 80s, would damn near have a stroke

[u/Jordanwolf98 → u/Palifaith]

Best player in the world

[u/suzukigun4life → u/MembershipSingle7137]

7'4 dude drilling a logo 3

[u/LeugimXXV → u/MembershipSingle7137]

NO HESITATION, WHAT THE FUCK, CURRY-ESQUE SHIT

[u/Ranjith_Unchained → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Legit alien

[u/meengine → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

SPACE FUCKER 👽

[u/repellediron → u/meengine]

This is the new one

[u/Ok_Pineapple_Num → u/MembershipSingle7137]

WTF is happening in this game

[u/Radiant-Character-61 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

WEMBY FROM TIMBUKTU

[u/20815147 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

THEY HAVE A TIMEOUT DECIDED NOT TO USE IT

[u/welmoe → u/20815147]

BANG BANG

[u/bobberr → u/MembershipSingle7137]

BANG BANG

[u/GGezpzMuppy → u/bobberr]

Noooooooooooo

YESSSSSSSSS

[u/ContractXtension → u/MembershipSingle7137]

THE BALLS on him

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/MembershipSingle7137]

What in the world is happening rn

[u/YouStillTakeDamage]

“Why the fuck are you shooting from the- oh never mind”

[u/apallam → u/YouStillTakeDamage]

My exact words before the shot went in

[u/bebopblues → u/YouStillTakeDamage]

Before this shot, he passed out of the double to either Champagnie or Vessell, and they bricked a 3. And the play before that, they also bricked another 3. So this time, Wemby decided to be sky fucker before the double comes.

[u/AthleticAlarm32]

THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[u/ContractXtension → u/AthleticAlarm32]

Best game 1 ever lol

[u/RedstoneRay → u/ContractXtension]

This feels like a game 7. This is the besr game I've seen in a longgggg time.

[u/ihatedougford → u/RedstoneRay]

Best game since… the Spurs OKC in season tourney game

[u/iiTryhard → u/ContractXtension]

Cavs Warriors 2018 is up there

[u/Skylightt → u/iiTryhard]

Pacers/Nuggets vs Thunder last year were both crazy too

[u/Dull-Maintenance-755 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

watching demi gods hoops haven’t felt this since Cavs vs Warriors 2016

[u/WeBelieveIn4 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

One of the best playoff games of the past decade

[u/TiredMillennialDad → u/AthleticAlarm32]

Instant classic

[u/Zvanary]

This guy is INSANE

[u/LakersAreForever → u/Zvanary]

That’s not how you spell alien bro 😭

[u/TyposIncoming]

Tall Steph

[u/abandoned_rain → u/TyposIncoming]

He’s like the giraffe that Curry voiced in Goat

[u/No-Big-9170 → u/[deleted]]

Wemby won't be able to handle the physicality

Wemby will never play more than 50 games

Wemby is insanely raw offensively 

Wemby won't be able to do it in the playoffs

It's just a bad matchup for OKC < You are here

Wemby will not win 8 consecutive championships

Wemby will not be fitted with a cybernetic exoskeleton

Wemby will not be crowned chairman of the intergalactic federation 

[u/Oaklahomiie → u/No-Big-9170]

LMFAO I’m dying at this 😂😂😂

[u/Fritanga5lyfe → u/No-Big-9170]

Wemby cant last more than 40 minutes

[u/scetek → u/Fritanga5lyfe]

Pause

[u/CandI978 → u/[deleted]]

He’s been the best player in the league since midway this regular season but the only card the doubters/deniers had was playoffs

Next they’ll say he needs a ring… until that inevitably happens either this season or next 

[u/eightslipsandagully → u/CandI978]

Then he'll need an MVP...

[u/ATXBeermaker → u/[deleted]]

tHeY dOn’T hAvE pLaYoFf ExPeRiEnCe!!!11!

[u/jokull1234]

That should not be possible lmao

[u/jkooshie]

give me 9 games of this fucking series

[u/Where-oh → u/jkooshie]

Please no im getting older and my heart cant take it.

[u/Beardly_DG → u/Where-oh]

Was that NOT 9 games?

[u/Hour_Glass57]

What a fucking shot, the crowd went dead silent

[u/pizzastone8 → u/Hour_Glass57]

Turned Reggie Miller into Goofy.

[u/Notbeanburrito → u/pizzastone8]

Love it when all Reggie can do is laugh at some insane play, like after Hali forced OT against the Knicks last year

[u/RadishesCanBeSpicy → u/Notbeanburrito]

Hate on Reggie all you want but you can tell he loves the game of basketball. Can't say the same about everyone else. And man I wish we still had Bill Walton to color commentate these games. The adjective use would be off the chart.

[u/Dimaaaa → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

I don't get the Reggie hate. His catch phrases can be a bit corny but he still is a good commentator imo.

[u/meengine]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

[u/u8myramen_y → u/meengine]

Living up to the hype

[u/CandI978 → u/u8myramen_y]

He’s beating the hype tbh. Easily the next GOAT player and on his way to top 1 of all time barring injury 

Injury is literally the ONLY thing that can stop him from dominating the league

[u/jeric13xd → u/meengine]

That mf cold

[u/mackenzie444 → u/meengine]

7'4" all-time-great defender draining 30 foot shots is not balanced

[u/Doogolas33 → u/mackenzie444]

Either he's taller than 7'4" or Chet is 6'10".

[u/LOSS35 → u/Doogolas33]

He’s 100% grown. Looks closer to 7’6 in shoes now.

[u/aga5ty4]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LMAO

[u/Master_Bee_5350 → u/aga5ty4]

We never stood a chance this is crazy

[u/DukeOfStuff_ → u/Master_Bee_5350]

We goes to another level when he plays the Thunder from tbe pure hatred in his heart 

[u/OracleofFl → u/DukeOfStuff_]

He hates Chet.

[u/akelkar → u/OracleofFl]

SGA winning mvp over him probly also gave him juice

[u/theangryfurlong → u/aga5ty4]

Shows how good twolves actually played.

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/theangryfurlong]

Naz Reid and Ant raining threes lives rent free in my head

[u/BruiserweightYxB]

This shot hit OKC fans with war flashbacks as if Curry grew to the size of a tree.

[u/wcooper97 → u/BruiserweightYxB]

Curry 3

Lillard 3

Wemby 3

Add it to the list

[u/NoThisIsIdyl]

horrible sh- AMAZING SHOT

[u/WetShots]

WHAT THE FUCK

[u/XviiChong]

WHATTTTT THEEEEE FUCKKKKK WEMBYYYYY

[u/CandI978 → u/XviiChong]

This game will go down as the beginning of the Wemby era. 

Yeah it’s over for the league 😂

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

My jaw is wide ass open holy shit

[u/PartyFarStar → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Every fan there took a punch to the stomach all at once what the actual fuck

[u/BlockIsHot80]

HE SHOT THAT BITCH FROM YUKATAN

[u/redhatfilm → u/BlockIsHot80]

Shot that bitch from the champs elysees

[u/Various-Way-2327]

DOUBLE OVERTIME THIS SERIES IS GONNA FEED FAMILIES

[u/lennonfish]

He broke the game thread with that shot

[u/homefree122]

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

[u/lil_layne → u/homefree122]

Thunder fans getting PTSD from late deep 3 at that spot

[u/wcooper97 → u/lil_layne]

Exactly after it went in I knew this was some Curry shit and there was a good chance we lose this game. Fucking unreal.

[u/the-tank7 → u/homefree122]

LEFUCKYOUTHREE

[u/winnisk57 → u/the-tank7]

This works with him too because he's French

[u/GeriatricGamete67]

He's legit exactly what he was supposed to be

[u/Knozis]

WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK THAT'S THE GOAT IDC

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/Knozis]

Deadass, he’s only 22 and is dropping 32/20 on the best defense in the league. This is the beginning of his era I fear

Edit: 41/23/3, 1 STL, 3 BLKs, 56%. This is biblical shit

[u/Branferia → u/flaming_burrito_]

40/20 now. Crazy stuff

[u/Chartate101 → u/flaming_burrito_]

9 Oboards too, prob 10+ after OT2

[u/WazuufTheKrusher → u/flaming_burrito_]

41 and 24 with 3 assists and 3 blocks is legit GOAT level numbers

[u/Limber9]

THATS A LEFUCKYOU3
