Could Wemby be Giannis with a J in a few years?  :)

Minus injury, I expect him to wrest the title of the world’s greatest player from Giannis by age 24-25.

Will be interesting to see if he can develop his body similar to how Giannis did.

Jockey,

I'm not sure Wemby has that downhill explosiveness but yes.....what happens if he develops Giannis' physicality?  With his 3 pt range?  it will be super interesting as he is 7'4/7'5.  I can't recall a player that tall with his arsenal.

In his day, Ralph Sampson.  7'4 with SF skills.  Sadly, fragile knees.

I've seen some video, he was quite skilled.  But the game was so different, I'm not sure he handled the ball much.  Wemby has the ability to score off the bounce.
No one is blocking his shot of course.  Maybe we should be recruiting Oscar Wembanyama?

White flops, then Smart flops right behind him. The charge has ruined basketball and we now give the highest defensive award you can win to whoever flops the most. The NBA’s version of Brad Davison.

I think everyone interested knows what happened. We have a secret way to find out.

Just askin’ everyone to keep the Google Pipes secret so we can keep Muggsy in the dark.

Steph Curry hurt his shoulder in tonight's game against the Pacers, and Kerr says he'll have an MRI tomorrow.

Just wondering if anyone knows why the Knicks are playing AT Chicago 2 games in a row? Just a schedule quirk?

Yes. They are playing the Knicks 3 times in 6 days. Usually these scheduling quirks are a result of arena availability around the league.

They've done these since they restarted (outside the bubble) after covid.  They're mini series and were originally used to reduce travel.

Makes sense.

Thanks for the answer. I haven't been paying close attention to this stuff.

Joe Ingles set to make his bucks debut Monday. He’s easily a 42 point difference maker and the bucks would’ve won last night if he played.

Muggsy's greatest team ever lost at home to the 10-20 Magic.

Horford was ejected for viciously elbowing Wagner in the groin.

Hauser was scoreless in 10 minutes, missing his only 2 shots.

Hold the ticker-tape parade.
