Wemby will have many titles. If the Knicks do go on win , it will be one and done.
The Spurs top 3 players are 20, 21, and 22. They could be playiing college ball. You have a veteran team showing these youngins the importance of team ball.
Spurs this year remind me of a certain college football team from Coral Gable
Eerily similiar path.

**** I'll take one, within a sport you need to have a top 3 player to win this to me is a shocker. Not like what they are doing to the Spurs but when they started this, they look like the best team

This series reminds me of Basketball from over a decade ago. I love the sport but its been sometimes hard to watch.
This is more of what it should look like.

Without the refs though they are awful, it’s the one sport I feel like the refs are super bad. In football they stay out of it at times. In basketball they constantly protect stars

I don’t watch NBA , can’t do it , anyway question does NBA do replay on fouls especially in playoffs?
 
Only basketball fans hate the evolution of the sport, football, baseball, hockey fans all accept it but basketball? It’s a bunch of “if it was my era” this or that wouldn’t happen lmao

Lot of us just stay quiet because this conversation has been going on for a dozen years. Maybe even longer as i saw 2000 article calling Shaq the last center in nba history as well as others complaining beforehand.

Plenty of people revel in past eras more than they actually watch the current games. Barkley & Shaq both used to be a ‘in my era’ guy and now they are much better. Barkley said he was flopping in the 80s and 90s & Shaq called wemby the first perfect big man recently

People do it in the other sports too, it’s like politics or anything else…most people are frozen in time in high school in a misremembered “better” version of things that when you objectively look back at kind of blows for pretty much everyone (including most of the people remembering it fondly) but there’s no logic-ing your way out of it.

Ironically, the things that were actually better get forgotten or thrown overboard in pursuit of narrative.

But yes, basketball fans particularly toxic when it comes to new blood…as soon as LeBron or Wemby shows up it’s like a hive mind descends to tell you how they’re “frauds”.

“Wemby isn’t good he’s just tall” like it’s Shawn Bradley or some ****.

No different than the “LeBron has no clutch gene” nonsense.

The closest parallel for that particular dynamic in my mind is actually tennis, people love to hate the new blood until they in turn have become generational and then the fans pretend they loved them the whole time. My mom HATED the Williams sisters and Nadal and now she cries when they retire (though to be honest there are probably other factors at play there I don’t need to spell out).
 
Wemby will be the best player of all-time, health permitting. Absolutely unfair to be 7'4 and that skilled both athletically and offensively. He turned 22 in January, this is literally the worst he's ever going to be. Wait until he adds 25 pounds and still gets better shooting and with the ball in his hands. Nobody has ever seen anything even remotely close to him.

These giants have trouble staying healthy a lot of the time, though. That's the only wild-card with him. If we can fast forward 15 years and he's playing in 70+ games for all of them, he's going to be the face of basketball around the world and the most famous athlete on Earth.

my pops was from Mt. Vernon. Johnny's is underrated. one of the best pizza's you can get. MV shares NYC water.
Also, DiFarra's in Brooklyn but the owner is no long there. Tommy's on East Tremont Ave. in BX has the best plain slices and Ernie and Luigi's has the best sausage pie.

I think the team around him has trained him extremely well while he himself has the perfect mix of ambition, will and curiosity. All that being said, the only area i disagree with them on is his weight. I understand not wanting to put on too much weight too soon, however, his team seems adamant in not prioritizing gains at all.

He may naturally put on pounds as times goes on yet there is no guarantee he ever fully fills out. He could end up being much more akin to KD than Giannis in terms of strengthening his build these next fifteen years.

Maybe over simplistic but if it’s me I’m not sprinting to gain weight…the history of these overly stretched out dudes ******* their feet up is too long to not take seriously.
 
How about a filterable "update" tag on posts with actual info so the rest of us don't have to deal with usual suspects arguing or weirdos trying to drive up page counts for no reason

My view is that this happens every few weeks and is a necessary evil....it occurs in an already lengthy thread that posters are anxious to get news on but it also contains the off topic banter to one place rather than all over every other thread....

Nah I dont watch it either **** is ***, only reason I am interested is because as a Knick fan as a kid this is like a miracle. Other than this I will never touch this bs again, they already setting up Wemby for the tiktok generation to be the next Lebron or MJ,,,,,,,dude looks like a goofy nerd when he plays man. I remember it looking a certain way but some players just play goofy ash and it works for some reason.
