Wembanyama is so good i dont even feel like i have to lie about cancelling plans anymore. All the usual suspects: Not feeling well, Car broke down, Work thing came up … listen, Wemby is on. Sorry. And if they dont understand then i guess ill just see you in hell.

Wemby AGAIN showing clutch gene late in tonight's game at Suns. Big late 3 and jumper, as well as free throws, to put a stunning stop to Suns' rally after they'd cut it to 1.

I don’t think the US is going to ever have “the best player” in the NBA for a while.
Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Wemby… good luck beating any of them for that label for 20 years.

I just caught myself wondering why the Suns got a small guy on Wemby and then realized it's KD

Wemby has 38 and 10 in his 5th NBA game and there were NBA legends saying there’s no difference between him and Bol Bol 😭
