You're right, my b. It was his left knee that he suffered torn cartilage in back in '87 and they rushed him back from it and he never recovered. He also had some minor foot and back injuries throughout his career, but his knees were the big one.
He's the HC at USC now but yea he was the HC of the Warriors from 2002-04 and has been an Asst. Coach for multiple NBA teams over the years. He's stuck to college hoops the past decade or so though.
Jokic has a post up game and can back down a smaller defender if he get switched. Wemby cant. Wemby cant even solve dillon brooks guarding him.
yeah he needs to be much better at punishing teams guarding him with a guy a foot shorter than him. this is something KP did for Boston which was the big x-factor for them in their le run. pretty sure he was the most efficient post scorer in the league that year because he would basically save it for when teams guarded him with smalls
Giannis a future Spur confirmed.
Not a big KG type myself but what a great mentor for young wemby. Who better to teach some dawg and hopefully that mid range assassin game too
Damn, Ace, you are always on point with this stuff!
I'd love to know more about KG/Wemby working together.
I'm trying to think of any power forwards who played for SA that could be helpful. Antoine Carr maybe? No. Let's see. Sidney Green. No. There has to be someone. Thinking...
Feels like this took Dirk 10 years to remotely figure out.
were we watching the same dirk? he was an all-nba player by year 3, top 10 scorer in the league by year 4
Hook shot is saying o to Wemby for a long time now lol
Doesn’t mean he had a post game. LeBron even struggled, and with a body much more suited for it than Wemby. Ironically, it was Dallas that embarrassed him into developing his post game in the 2010 Finals, which would have been his 7th season,
The only post game Wemby needs is being able to maintan balance when he gets the ball. He can shoot over anyone with ease and all those shots around the paint are high percentage considering his shooting touch.
that was 2011 finals. Post game doesnt mean the 90’s post game.
Wemby gonna be dropping f bombs left and right now.
Multiple sources describe a widely circulated rumor that Kevin Garnett allegedly said "Happy Mother's Day, motherf***er!" to Tim Duncan during a 1999 playoff game. This comment was particularly hurtful because Duncan's mother passed away shortly before his 14th birthday.
lol can't picture wemby trash talking at all and maybe he should get some edge but hope KG doesn't rub off on him too much
Is he mentoring Wemby
Or just a random meeting?
But seriously, that KG mid range game with the high release point on the shot would not be the worst thing for wemby to copy in terms of reducing wear and tear on our franchise guy. Feast on low contact scoring with unblockable looks mixed into a variety of overall offense to bulk up numbers and draw defenders out for our three headed playmakers to attack.
I’ve been saying for a while now that wemby is KG 2.0, not just his offensive game but especially his defensive game. KG has elite lateral quickness and I’m not sure if wemby can just pick it up.
On O instead of a mid range game wemby can do the same stuff but from 3, that passing and driving ability will open things up for him.
I know this is spurs land and Duncan and Robinson reign supreme, but there isn’t any other player more suitable than OG to be a model for Wembys game.
They won't be as high percentage as actual shots at the rim, though.
He couldn’t post up smaller players. It’s why they lost in 07 to the Warriors.
He'll get to the rim with his face up game, I don't consider it post game.
And obviously with his verticality and easy dunks/layups.
