    The Rockets got the #1 pick in 1984 on a coin toss. I would guess that Portland would beg to differ in terms of which coin flip was worse.

    Wemby just had a Jordan like 1st quarter against the Warriors. That was unreal dominance. On both ends. Blocked threes, then scored on the other end.

    The funny part is you're trying to play the old head game - "I watched Shaq and Hakeem and Tim Duncan - this guy is Emoni Bates"

    Obviously you didn't, or you don't remember, because this guy is younger than they were, playing in a more difficult era, and a dominant player already in the same way they were.

    Honestly if I had to pick a big man - in today's NBA - for one game, I'd say Jokic, then Embiid, but I'd think hard about Wembanyama over Embiid.

    Everyone else is literally not even on the screen.

    ...Except for Emoni Bates of course :rolleyes:

    You are the one pining for Emoni Bates since you told me you were praying for them for years.

    You are right I'm Old I don't get impressed easily and I don't anoint people the best player in 20 yrs before he hasn't even played an NBA game. Lol putting Wemby over Embiid in a must win game just shows how much you have drunk the Wemby Kool aid.

    What will take longer - Wembanyama's career or @roslolian 's comprehension of the "pray for Victor" callback/reference...?

    Pray for Victor only happened on the year he was eligible only a select few like you was praying for him for years. Most of us were discussing Paolo/Chet/Bari at the time not praying for Victor.

    Unstoppable yet the screen shows him 3/6.

    Now that's a contrarian take.

    Don't worry when he gets his first season ending injury I'll tell Jim to rack you too.

    Don't know why you guys continue to feed the troll. The poster offers nothing intelligent to respond to.

    Anyways, Wemby seems to already have a masterful command of his weird alien body. Dude looks like a finished product already. There's never been a rookie DPoY before...maybe that changes, this season?
