Shams: Wemby Named 2025 NBA All-Star Reserve

[BatManu20]

Congrats to Wemby on his first All-Star nod. Well-deserved. The first of many I hope. Still 100% should’ve been a starter though.

Also lol at PATFO for passing on Sengun for Josh Primo when Sengun was widely considered BPA when we were on the clock. 4 years later he’s an All-Star and Primo is in the G-League :lol

[stephen jackson]

wemby! so happy to have him :bobo

Yeah and the Thunder are the ones who drafted him and traded him immediately to a rival.

[Seventyniner]

The first of many indeed. Congrats Victor!

[Mr. Body]

Sabonis jerked around once again.

[Dverde]

Sabonis jerked around once again.

No Fox either :lol

[Mr. Body]

No Fox either :lol

Fox ain't even in the ballpark of the All Star game.

[timtonymanu]

No question, even with how bad our record is.

[Bill_Brasky]

Sabonis jerked around once again.

Sabonis is objectively better than Sengun at everything. What a snub.

[100%duncan]

How the hell they announced Victor last? Glad I wasnt watching the live feed :lol

[spurraider21]

never in doubt. first of many

[stephen jackson]

i was about to go ape shit if he didnt make it

[Dex]

Well deserved. Guess I'll have to watch this year

[cutewizard]

Congratulations Wemby and Spurs family!

Should be starting but fans in China and the West Coast would rather see old heads like Lebron, Curry, and KD play zero defense and chuck up 3’s instead. You hate to see it.

[CGD]

Would have been a travesty otherwise

[KobesAchilles]

Let’s go!!!!:flag:

Yep, media actually got it right. If fans just cared a little bit more. French people seem to not give a shit about this despite having wild crowds during Olympics and the Paris games. San Antonio fans have stubby fingers so I guess they had a hard time voting tbh.

[Mugen]

Yeah and the Thunder are the ones who drafted him and traded him immediately to a rival.

Yeah, Presti and the Thunder are really hurting right now because of that :lol

[heyheymymy]

Congrats, young All Star!

[ffadicted]

Well deserved and first of many. GO ON LAD

[TheBallsbreakers]

Congratulations, keed! First in a long string of appearances in an event that I'm now forced to watch again after many years 'cause of Vic!
Here's hoping he injects competitiveness back in the game, as he promised!

[Ice009]

Good. I think he should have been there last year too IMO.

Was there actually questions whether or not he'd get picked?

A little suprised Sengun made it. Spurs really should have drafted him :(. Was there anyone else on the Rockets that might have been worthy?
How about Sabonis? I guess the Rockets record played a part in Sengun making it over him, which is a fair call IMO if that is how it played out.

[quentin_compson]

I'm not the biggest fan of Sabonis, but in my opinion, he would have been more deserving than Harden this season.

[TDomination]

Congrats Victor!
Should've been starter but glad he made the All-Star team!

[KingKev]

I kind of wanted to see him competing on the sophomore squad. They will have legit incentive to try and beat the all stars.

[SPURt]

Congrats Wemby! Next year he makes it in as a starter!

I've been banging on the Sengun drum since that draft day, but...if we had gotten Sengun, we probably don't get Wemby.

[Dex]

Definitely more than Sengun. He has him beat in basically every statistical category.

The only reason they chose Sengun is because Houston has a better record so I guess they felt compelled to include a Rocket, but I thought All-Star was supposed to be an individual award?

Yeah, I guess the decisions are mostly based on some kind of mixture between individual play and team success. I think I would have had Sengun ahead of Harden, but you can certainly also make a case for Harden.

In more important news, not in MVP top10 anymore.

From #4 to out of top 10. January did bad things to Wemby and the team

[timtonymanu]

^ Paul not getting traded confirmed cause why would they plan this?

Wouldn't be shocked if Vassell showed up and stood 3 feet away from CP3 the whole time asking for a pass

[Ice009]

I didn't know much about Sengun, but I do remember some of you guys here saying the Spurs should draft him. Good call at the time. I give all you guys props that identified him, BUT, as you say, most likely no Victor if that happened, so knowing how it turned out, I am definitely happier with the outcome now.

Sengun didn't stop the Rockets from being bad enough to get Victor, why would it have stopped us? Both teams went into the lottery with the same odds for Vic.

Edit: even Victor himself didn't stop us from being bad enough from being in a position to get Victor, since we finished with the same record both years :lol

[Ice009]

I could be wrong, but I think the Spurs would have won more games with Sengun IMO decreasing the odds. No idea, though, and I could be completely wrong on that.

[LeBowen]

I think the Spurs would have won more games with Sengun IMO.

Spurs could've won more games that season if they weren't blatantly DNP-ing players based on matchups. Same would've happened to Sengun or whoever else could've been on the team.

As for CP3, I'd say he's likely to stay another year and retire with the Spurs.
Considering that there aren't any established coaches available, CP3 is probably the best choice if we're talking rookie coaches, tbh.
