technically he had 40 in 2006 in game 6 vs. Dallas, not sure if you're just talking RS only
didn't Manu drop 48 a couple times? Feel like he did it against Phx and ATL at some point
Oh you're right, that game vs OKC a few years back. totally forgot about that one. that was a good game

Yeah, Manu has many 40 pts games, he just never got to 50.
yeah i said "when it comes to just regular season"
duncan also dropped 40 on the shaq suns in 08 playoffs when he made the 3 pointer
manu did put up 48 against the suns. think he also had 40 burger against lebron cavs. i think he had b2b 40 point games in some stretch. parker had a number of 40's.
Robinson had 71 against the Clippers in 1994.
jesus i'm ing blind
Good times though. will be nice to see a prominent player have some epic games in a Spurs uni for a change
Would we ever see a quadruple double or even quintuple double by Wemby?
I think there will be a couple of games in his career where he can get double digits in blocks and/or steals.
Really cool how Pop is using off ball action on dribble hand offs, give and go, and those cross screens underneath to get Wemby the ball in good spots. Nice breakdown of the state of the team at the end too.
^ i think that says pretty much everything anyone has to know about you…
ill check back with you as wemby refines and improves his already great shooting fundamentals…
you are limited/closed minded in your thinking as we all watch something we have never seen - you are quick to draw your own misguided CONCLUSIONS - maybe to comfort yourself as something new is revealed right before your eyes…
Gervin dropped 63 once to win the scoring le on the last game of the season…
People like you are why Kevin Garnett insisted on being listed at 6’11” his whole career when he eventually grew to 7’1”. He didn’t want to be pigeonholed into being a center by the narrow minded and those who lack imagination.
We saw one with Tim to close out the 03 Finals. God damn scorekeeper shortchanging him on two blocks, one of which was obvious.
This is what rookie Jabbar looked like for comparison.
There is not much of in terms of rookie Chamberlain or Russell so here is a good example of their primes.
rookie Kevin Garnett good game
rookie Durant
Rookie Olajuwon vs Moses Malone
Aldridge got 56 against OKC. I believe it was in 2019.
Yeah, I think the 7 footers like an Ostertag that made it to the NBA for simply being a big body have become obsolete. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more KDs and Chets. A lot of them won't be as good obviously but they'll be that same type of player. I honestly think that's what Shaq meant when he brought up Bol Bol the other day...he's the same type of of player as Wemby and Chet just a much lower tier.
Guard skills will be taught early on regardless of height. A lot of 7 footers are stiffs naturally but there's also probably been a a decent amount of big men over the past couple of decades that were fluid movers. They just never developed any guard skills because the game was so much different back then. I think moving forward, there will be attempts to morph any bigman that can move fluidly into the next KD or Chet Some will naturally pan out, imo. I just don't see how anyone will top Wemby though. It would be absolutely wild if we see an even bigger physical freak come along.
I think tall PGs (6'5"+) will become the norm too. Basically shorter basketball players are ed, tbh.
The Tall Fundamental
Tall fluid players definitely existed in the past. Ralph Sampson, our very own David robinson, Garnett, hakeem, dan issel to a lesser extent. Kareem perhaps.
To FKLA’s point, they just never got that training.
Hahaha your username suits you well, bro. Bye.
Another dumb reply.
Sampson is the only comp when factoring in the extreme length and agility. And that was 40 years before wemby. Don’t come around every day
Oh no question this is rare. I was mostly responding to the height and fluidity combination. If height and agility are both factored in then wemby is unique. Sampson want as agile and Garnett wasn’t as tall/long. A young Kareem maybe the only comp but even then I don’t really recall him being as fluid as wemby is now.
