Is it Me? Or did the Wemby Hype & Novelty Come & Go Already

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Wembly is gonna be a really good player but that “generational” stuff they pull should strictly be used for his size and nothing else. Dude plays like a French 7’5” Kyle Korver just shooting threes. They have zero rim protection when doing that.

Dude legit became irrelevant. part of the NBA's problem. those "next guys" who were hyped up, fizzled out... Zion, Wemby.

Irrelevant to whom? How has his hype fizzled out?

Once again it proves that if they're not American they can never fit the market over here as a superstar. No matter how huge they may be in France or any other foreign country. Watch what happens if Cooper Flagg pans out and can dominate in the league. All that nba is dead talk will cease.

Do you think that's the issue? Arguably the 4 best players in the league right now are foreigners: Jokic, Giannis, Luka and Shai (I'm not sure he counts, Canada is a little different).

These the easiest threads to make saying something didn't live up to the hype.


At the end of the day he just playing basketball and you've seen people play basketball before, your days of being hyped is over fam.


My Condolences.


I hope hype isn't the only reason you watch and you find other things that entertain you

This is a good point.. he's basically Mark Eaton with a jump shot.... he's not entertaining, he's not drawing any interest, ratings, nothin.

Not even sure why you all responded to this thread. It’s insane drive.

Silver know he gotta get Wemby to LA

Would anyone care tho?

Anthony Davis is basically the same player and nobody cares about him

 

[JesusFOREVER]

I find myself skipping Wemby highlights, he’s a spectacle for sure but like…meh, the supporting cast around him isn’t fun to watch at all

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I watched Wembly not be able to back down Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet in the paint

Wemby is averaging 3.4 blocks per game and if you watch Spurs games, opposing players are scared to death as they get near the basket.

You fukkin troglodyte.

The hype has died down, which is whatever…hell probably a good thing in certain ways, his game can speak for itself without all the extras (see: how annoying the Caitlyn Clark hype gets).,.he hasn’t fizzled out as a player by any means though …probably wins DPOY and make an all nba team in his 2nd season

I personally don’t enjoy watching him play as much as I thought I would…figured I’d have him on league pass auto watch status, but I never imagined he’d be camped behind the line taking over 9 threes a game…literally half his shots…but I digress, that’s been talked about enough elsewhere
