Love this new stat.
Wemby led the league in NAHS last season.
I saw that Wemby's rating for NBA2K25 is 91. I thought it would have been around 93. I can see him being a 96 by the end of the season. The only other Spur I've seen so far is Stephon Castle with a 73.

That's a good one.
Another one I saw was ABDUCTION.
Abduction is a block where the blocker immediately gains possession or control without the ball first touching the floor, backboard, rim or any other Player first.
Wemby had 15 of those in his rookie season.
Spurfan so used to their players not talking trash that when it does happen, they call him a bag. Good job, you soft s.
The OH NAH aka the NOPE OUT
I don't like it. You don't have time to celebrate your block. It's NBA no Euro s.That's a good one.

That Wemby quote wasn't trash talking.
Im going to feel sorry for my opponents.
What is Vic up to these days?
I would be but I 100% agree with you about others in here. There are different standards applied to players they like. Its pretty damn clear based on their comments in other threads.
I guess everyone is wrong about MJ but you. I watched him play my dude. I don't need to watch videos. I didn't need the Last Dance. I saw it. Its just you that has one set of rules for certain players and doesn't apply them evenly.I tend to think it's not done in an "evil" way, he, like a lot of them, just don't realise how unflaterring it is. I'm not even sure it's typcally a US thing, it's a generational thing and today's culture is worldwide, more and more similar.
I agree on Sochan, I don't like it bc it's 100% entertainment, he's not a "bad guy" , who grew up in the streets and had to build this type of behaviour. He just thinks it looks cool and probably has the memory of a few players being impacted. I hope he quits this BS
I also agree on Shaq, who imo might have been one of the 1st to understand the impact of highlights and the entertainment factor in the NBA. All his antics eneded up costing him a lot tho, he kinda trapped himself in the cartoon role.
Look, it could very well be me becoming an old grumpy dude (I'm 46), but I'm from an era where stoicism looked cool in sports. All the champions I admire are stoic and class in win and losses, the only excrptions being fighters, but it's not realy a "sport" to me.
And please go bck and watch some MJ film buddy, you can't be serious wit this comp
If you have to keep asking people why they think its the same then maybe its not other people who don't get it.
Please give me an example of MJ trash talking when unprovoked or not in a 1vs1 particular duel...
And no, it's not just me
This isn't trashtalk. This is a cringe comment that will only bring more pressure and hate into himself. Fans of other teams are wating fork and knife in hand for the first semi-bad game from Wemby to bring back this quote and all over the kid.
Yeah, except they can just keep waiting. He takes extremely personal. He smothered Chet, and in that last Denver game, after Aaron Gordon pushed him down and walked over him during a dead ball in the first half, he dropped 17 points in 3 ing minutes in the second half, leading to a win that knocked Denver out of their playoff position. He doesnt ing care what other fans think, or their reactions. The meanest, nastiest NBA fans are a far cut above the meanest nastiest Euro fans. They heat up coins with lighters, and throw them at opposing players, and refs that displease them. There’s no NBA fan base that’s going to do anything to intimidate Wemby.
It's just a way of holding himself accountable and keep the pressure "on".
You might recall last season's firsts interviews where he explained that he takes it as a "duty"/responsability to try to reach his potential bc of the privileges and abilities he possesses.
It's cringe when ppl who do that try to bring something into existence but don't really have the "profile". Wemby does have it and have done it already multiple times.
In the last few days I’ve seen both KG and LMA say that Wemby should really just be focusing on toning down his offensive game and simplifying it to a few goto moves in these early stages and not get carried away with all the mesmerizing/fancy free-styling we saw in year 1. I tend to agree. Hope the coaching staff are listening.
I wonder how mucb time LMA has spent working with him to date.
Was it ever confirmed that happened? When that post went up, the article was already a year old, meaning last summer, and I never heard a word about LMA being at the new facility or working with Wemby. Kinda seems like his request got shot down.
I thought I recall seeing pics with LMA back training with the young guys but it wasn’t recent.
LMA’s point was that for him his mid range turn around was something he knew he could get off in almost any situation (tough to block) and he liked getting warm with it in the 1st and always knew he could get to it late in the game. He said Wemby should focus in something similar in his early years to be more impactful on the offensive end.
KG basically said he just needs to perfect one or two goto moves and ditch the fancy stuff for now and it is over for the league on the offensive end too.
High praise from both.
I strongly disagree with that way of thinking. I hope the coaches are not listening and I am pretty sure Wemby will take the advice, say thank you...
and then continue being what makes him the unicorn.
I know it sounds crazy to say- but those two guys had some greatness and stellar careers - but they can only see what their conventional brain sees and they are making common sense points.
Wemby is not going to limit himself and will keep working hard and will hopefully always stay creative, stay motivated to do the unthinkable- what no one else has done.
You wouldn't tell a 9 year old savant prodigy pianist to keep it simple and just run your scales and do not try to get fancy or go too far into music theory - just keep it basic.
Thats my view and I am certain Wemby is politely not going to limit himself even if a hall of famer thinks he knows what wemby should be doing.
Yeah, I’m thinking he needs to be more KD than KG.
Yup - and even that is too conservative.
I mean, the advice those guys gave is not bad, seems to be logical - but I think this season will show a bunch of new things not seen before and every time wemby blows peoples minds...
then they might start to visualize a limitless potential...instead of what we normal humans instinctively try and do: see only what we know or have seen before and try to make that fit into a future that is not bound by that past if that makes sense.
Maybe the only human on the planet who can call Wemby “shrimp”.

I would like to see Wemby build things one step at a time, and focus on consistently nailing some go-to shots in the sense of skyhook, one legged fade, turnaround, dream shake, or bank shot. That alone will open up so much of everything else for him (and the team of course) and the other aspects will be easier to develop, as the defence will have to constantly worry about pull up with these unstoppable shots.
