I don’t understand how 47 points is too impressive while doing it against the back up roster of Detroit, and it took him overtime. And 47 of the points is 21 from free throws. Wemby is the MVP

Wemby should have gotten dpoy every year rookie, second year, and third year

sga’s game is trash that’s why he can’t speak about it.

He blocked shots because guys can shoot a 18 ft high shot. There are guys who jump to block a shot but not tall enough like him. He doesn’t lock down a guy outside of the paint. He’s great.

Ya he’s talented not just tall. Put them both at 6 ft. Who you talking? I’m taking sga

Wemby talking with his game too, he just ain’t scared to put pressure on himself while doing so too. Wemby is just different

W perk on recognizing Mitch Johnson. But wemby came off a deep vein thrombosis and on early min restriction still dominated. Wemby is the MVP

5:35 Okc started their season with a track for the warriors record… yet the Spurs are on their heals after beating them 4-1.

7:25 she mentions it was “albeit the bulls” but doesn’t say the pistons were a g league team without their key players
