    I love him crying after todays game. Shows his passion. He already is collecting his scars. This will help him.
    I think it's one of the main reasons ppl love Wemby, even beyong the Spurs fanbase. He shows that HE CARES.

    In the cynical era we're in he stands out

    Wemby has work to do but with that at ude and heart and approach there is little doubt that he’s going to do it.
    We’re so fortunate to have him in San Antonio.

    Darn, those quotes from Victor have got me hyped. I want the season to start, but I also don't as I want Victor to get some rest for a bit.

    Duncan doesn't need a church thread

    Duncan is the Father Almighty

    He's everywhere.

    You can pray to Him anywhere
    I just wanted a place to leave this but screw it, I will put it here.

    I only know two people in France who reduce everything to their own little being: TP and Macron.

    We're talking about the national team: TP talks about his own experience, and about his jersey being retired. We talk about Wemby: TP talks about his “academy” and the jersey Wemby wore when he was young.

    Surprising to see how these two characters (Macron & TP) have the same (self-centered) way of seeing things. And glad to see Victor is the opposite of that (for now).

    Not gonna lie, "I'm worried for the opponents" is kind of a y quote, tbh.

    Just stay quiet and let your game do the talking, imvho.

    Less y than all the crap the US team does, the sleep thing, etc.

    I don’t believe French always translates well into English. To me, the language isn’t as nuanced, and comes across as more blunt or y.

    Victor isn’t Tim or David, and has always spoken out more and put himself on the line. To expect him to act like them isn’t rational, because he isn’t them. He’s spoken out pretty much since DAY ONE.

    antman's constantly boasting, Lebron and his "too little" or placing a crown on his head gesture, etc. props to wemby for not just taking it in all in stride. he's just letting them know that he's not backing down to anyone. did anyone ever do it better than Timmy? of course not, but like you said, Wemby is his own person.

    As a guy that has studied languages, there isn't such thing as a language being less "nuanced" than others, but if there were, English is among the most basic and easiest to learn, tbh.

    now time to work on his jumpshot/3-point to reach KD level in offense; if he can do that with his defensive game, he will be unstoppable. But we know many players who were never able to develop a reliable jumpshot.

    That's interesting to read and I am by no means any kind of expert, but I've known and worked with several linguists including professors and they've been pretty solid that English is one of the harder languages.

    It all depends on which is your first language. But, in general, there's data that supports that English is one of quickest languages to learn. Global exposure probably plays a huge role in this, but English also has less grammatical conjugations than most languages, specially Latin derived ones (which French is a part of).

    The difficult part about English is that letters and sounds don't have a direct correlation, which, for the life of me, I will never understand why that is the case . That's why is more difficult for English speaking folks to get a name pronunciation right when reading it for the first time.

    “We’re excited to be back, we’ve got four more to win, and we’re going to do it this time.”

    Tim Duncan

    Was that statement in the run up to the 2014 Finals y?

    Nope. Totally different statements and contexts.

    Why do you feel like you need to justify absolutrly everthing Spurs related?

    I like Wemby, but I can still point when he does something I don't like, tbh.

    I guess I just don’t get the pearl clutching, and it absolutely is, over this quote. He’s backed up everything he’s said so far, and none of it is over the top.

    I'm 99,99999999% sure if this was Chet Holmgren or any other non-Spur young player saying something as cringe as this, you wouldn't be here defending it, tbh.
