    I can’t believe I’m saying it, but the Spurs will be the new darling of the NBA.

    Already Spurs’ nationally televised games have been more this season than the last 2-3 seasons combined, and all because of Wemby. Wemby sells. He is a 7’4” phenom who is staged as the next face of the NBA. He is good-looking and very marketable. He is an Alien. The NBA and the media will calitalize on that. Wemby is amazing but the media will hype it up even more. All those 50/50 calls, fouls, I think we will start to see going the Spurs favor.

    It sells to have this kid winning than losing.

    I'll believe that when i see it.
    And getting the 1/99 calls like Lakers and Warriorths will be "darling" status. Which i don't even want. No fake les, none.
    Spurs and Wemby currently are not even close to the media pampering those gots got.

    Timmy Duncan II is all i wanna see.

    Likewise the business Wemby will bring to the NBA. Wemby is someone basketball fans have ever seen. LeBron, KD (got outplayed last night), CP3 will be gone. Curry has some more years left. Jokic is boring (like the Spurs of the past). Wemby is exciting. It’s the NBA’s best interest to “help” Wemby win

    Working from home today and I tend to keep ESPN on in the background. Every single show is putting up Wemby highlights, what year is it!?

    Pathetic overturn. Was actually "basket interference" FWIW.

    However the OKC guy did grab the net just prior.
    Not sure if that should have negated Apemonds rim grab or not.
    No explanation by the refs.

    the game recap on nba.com again was ridicolous ... they only showed Wemby highlights until the Suns tied the game or so, and then how Wemby put the game to bed ... they are pushing him hard!

    Carmelo is gone, Lebron, CP3 will be gone soon. The Dubs are getting old. Jokic is boring. The big networks need someone exciting to root for. In comes a 7’4 phenom who does things no basketball fans have seen before, straight out from NBA 2K24 video game, an alien! Yup, get ready Spurs fans. Spurs will be the VIP guest until someone new and exciting comes along.

    1. Wemby grew up idolizing TP who is god in French basketball.
    2. France all celebrated when Spurs got the #1 draft to pick Wemby. The Spurs organization is regarded highly in France
    3. International players are different that they don’t seek the lifestyle of Hollywood, Big Apple nor South Beach.
    4. Wemby doesn’t have an Uncle Dennis with ulterior motives to move to a bigger market.
    5. Wemby has met DRob, Timmy, Manu and Tony who had long careers in the same team and eventually enshrined in the HOF. Who wouldn’t want that?
    6. The Spurs is a top championship organization who has blueprints in building championship teams. If it were a Sacramento or Orlando, then I would think Wemby would jump ship eventually.


    So yeah. Unless Spurs ed up big time, I don’t see Wemby bolting out.
