this french kid, barely 20 years old and not a 1 year in the US is more articulate than 70% of the English speaking population.
That was impressive indeed!
He is a smart guy
My thoughts, exactly.
He's an articulate guy for sure but it's not like he only just learned english. Basically everyone in Europe is brought up speaking English as well as their home countries' language
@@JRAD897 yeah, and 99% of french people barely speak english after learning it for 7 years.
I wanted 2 things :
- Shaq and Wemby comparing their hands
- Shaq asking Wemby how to shoot free-throws with those big hands
Kawai Leonard's hands are almost as big as wembys
@@BeardedRealm when Kawhi and Wemby shake hands with folks it looks fake
you interested in the size of a mans hand? from thumbjoint to fingertip by any chance?
5000+ missed free throws and Shaq is still top 10 🤧
@@Lord_OTD wait, fr? he missed 5000+ FTs?
Wemby is the definition of confidence without ego. The dude believes in his greatness but recognizes that he must carry himself with humility at this point in his career. He's headed towards all-time greatness in the years to come with that attitude.
That’s having Pop as a Coach
Get off your knees
@@Donny_Double_Dip Still using jokes from 2021?
@@doktorhypebeast it ain’t a joke… you gotta brush them off too the way you’re sticking up for strangers goofy
that the french mentality
Wemby is so good the media doesn't even bad mouth him. Thats huge, even with Spurs record being trash.
nailed it
bcuz the spurs are smart & doesn't want to be a no.8 seed team in the playoffs, get bounce early or get sweep & do it again the next 5 years ..... they rather go for the no.5 seed ..... i mean,the first 5 picks of the next rookie draft ..... & improve the team with more talents like what okc did,especially at pg position .... go spurs !!!!!! 😂😅😂😅-😢😢😢😢😢😢 .....
Shaq does try to discredit him at times though
Wemby is chosen to be the next big media star. It is all set.
It's not surprising. Wemby (and Chet) are quite literally the first of their kind, and I don't just mind tall. I mean basketball ability too. There have been many as tall as Chet / Wemby, but none who could transfer that body to the league, and these two have. It's truly incredible and a unicorn feat.
This guy has all the intangibles bro… he sees greatness in himself but is so humble about everything
Exactly. Most of the time that the difference between a good player and an all time great.
Seems smart down to earth has the right environment to growand most important willingness to work hard.
Well, European players are mostly pretty humble.
@@KelGhu aside from Luka. But I kinda like Luka being a bit obnoxious
@@pemp9606 Only on-qcourt. He's shy and humble off-court.
Most overseas players have that humbleness & politeness unlike most American players. America is lost.
The fact that the Spurs still play hard at the end of the game is encouraging
In height wise yes but in physicality shaq got him beat
Miami been doing this all the times
@@GregGraham-ff7ptshaq got everyone beat physicality except wilt ✌️
@@MichaelSevilla97Shaq has literal perfect genetics for this sport. If he had a work ethic and mindset like Wemby or Kobe he’d easily be the GOAT
@@specialknees6798for real, Kobe said Shaq was lazy for someone as great as he was. He's the bigger, sturdier, and more successful version of Zion. Fat and lazy but dominant.
Shaq holding back tears. Wemby made Shaq eat the Bol Bol comparison 😂😂😂
oh dam i forgot shaq said that LOL yea that aged so bad. Wemby is having an incredible rookie season
@@_WeDontKnow_facts Shaq became the same kind of dude he hated back when he was playing 😂😂
He said nothing wrong he actually said he’s more aggressive than bol bol.. bol bol do all the same shit just lazy
He is still saying that, and I agree with Shaq. Wemby is just so much better version, but Bol Bol had everyrhing as well
@@kkrekt8863 that's the case with every player in the history of the NBA.
going by that logic MJ was nothin new. he was the same as other players, except just better at it all. Shaq wasn't nothin new, he was the same as other centers. just bigger, stronger, and faster
Bro make Shaq look small 😂
Everyone 😂
Short not small
Is Shaq is 7"1 and Victor Wetbananas is 7"4 then he's bigger right? Smh you fans are something else
@@DerekHallChiefsFan15they obviously mean height lil bro
@@AB_7092 that's what I was saying, if Shaq is 7"1 and he's 7"4 who's going to be taller... I just feel like everyone goes crazy for no reason. Taco was 7"7, Yao Ming 7"7 , and the hype was real but not like how they have for Victor... It's like he's a great player but we have all seen a guy his size doing things that he's doing
What a mindful and insightful kid. Educated, cultivated, has read a lot, speaks languages, listens, expresses himself coherently, doesn't "believe" the Earth is flat because he knows how to calculate tha shape of a geoid.
Bravo, wemby.
Agreed 😅
French kid 🎉
Shots fired...
@@VancouverInvestornot at anyone important
Pur produit parisien 😌
Wemby is so mature for his age. And smart too. Good thing Pop coaching him.
Because he is smart than Pops, he probably doesn’t want Wemby ideas. He wants to push his old school coaching. My opinion only.
L'intelligence (smart) à la Française, monsieur.
Wemby is a star man stay heathy bro 💯
Biggest thing! Has got to stay healthy!
@billblaski9523 lol check out Sherlock over here "the biggest thing" 😅 lol no shit
That's why I'm so glad san Antonio got him. I imagine another org like the positions, or hornets would overplay him
I was hoping Kenny would call out Shaq in front of Wemby for his ridiculous, "Wemby is another Bol Bol" comment.
Y’all would sure love that petty drama smh
@@Helloim_anthonyuh yeah lmao. This is literally entertainment don’t forget that
@@Gush27yeah some come for sports others come for drama
they would call you a panty man in my country .... woman behavior
@@Helloim_anthony dude he literally brings it up out of no where! At this point I'm waiting for Vic to be like really Shaq????
kenny: "look at little fella"
chuck: "hey little man" X3
"Why isn't he laughing?" bro I love Wemby 😂
Wemby is just amazing to watch
Facts!!
In good games tho. I went to his Nets game and it was pretty boring outside of that stretch where he hit like three straight threes or something like that.
“What the **** is this?” 😂
Forgive his French
@@AGuitarNinjaBravo. 👏👏
He said “my fault” the American slang is catchin into him quickly😭😭😭
In europe you can swear on TV.
@@sinbandzzit's a lot harder to catch yourself cussing in another language because it's used all the time and you dont think twice about it.
He said “am I gonna get fined?” 😂😂😂😂
Ahahaha I didn't catch that at first LOL
I just came here to see if Shaq told Wemby he wasn’t the first one “ Bol Bol “ was 😂
4 real 😂
Me too, i cant believe he never mentioned bol bol
0:10 i think Wemby was expecting it here and took a small jab
When Victor said" aren't you supposes to know these things" I think was the lil jab and Shaq said nothing lol that was when he should've said it. Just how Charles was honest and brought up how he said Victor was going to have to used to losing this season and asked Victor, Shaq was supposed to ask Victor how he can be better than Bol Bol. I knew he wasn't going to ask or say it. He don't want to fuel Victor to making his assessment of Bol look foolish.
He mad cus wemby focused and not making rap albums or starring in Kazaam 2 lol
Watching Wemby you can clearly see he is going to be a star, but when you listen to him it just makes you feel even more sure he is going to be a great.
This kid is a class act
Wemby’s accent is phenomenally good for a foreign language
Wemby seems like a good guy. I wish him well.
Love this kid. My spurs , the league and fans in general are lucky to have him over next 15 yrs
tbh i m worried after this interview...he said the toughest thing is to let it go after a loss because the next game is coming....sounds like he's getting used to loosing....i hope he's not....
@christianmartens3578 He literally said one of the hardest parts about the season is losing and having to get over it quickly lol. He has to learn to shrug off some losses to focus on the next game.
@@MysticMicrowave He should not be getting over it quickly.....because that means he's getting used to it
@@christianmartens3578 WRONG. u dont dwell on ur losses. u can get p* off but u have to get over it quick. u r completly misreading his statement. weaker minds keep thinking about losses, u interpret this as "getting used to losing", it s absolulty ridiculous sorry. mysticmicro is spot on, best players in the game shrug bad games fast
Man just listening to him talk is so refreshing. He’s so much more thoughtful and introspective than even most veteran players. I really look forward to seeing more of him in the future, as a player and a person. He’s handled all the attention exceedingly well
Go Spurs Go! We will win another championship again with this kid!!!!
Go Spurs Go
You think he's staying 😂😂😂😂
@@coo3ies266 yes
Victor wearing a tetris coat is pretty dope
A loui Vuitton Tetris coat is a flex
It's digital camo
@@maestromgxan orange digital camo? What is that suppose to hide anyone from?
It’s Louis Vuitton
He got a sponsorship from LV
The face he made after Shaq said he was at the hookah bar🥴
Yeah he definitely don’t like dude remember his bol bol comparison
Smoke and hoes. Imagine that!
Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and now Victor Wembanyana. I can't stop watching the young man through his journey to become a legend
He’s gonna surpass lebron by year 12 im calling it. Idk if he will ever pass Jordan tho
😂
@@AB_7092 Lebron has reached his potential which was higher than MJ's, and Wemby's potential is higher than Lebrons
The worst kind of fan. Just let bro grow and develop.
@@AB_7092stop it bruh. He's got a long way to go.
Funniest thing is seeing Shaq act more reserved and try to be cool in front of wemby just because he’s taller 💀
Wemby made Shaq a short king
2:40 excellent question by Chuck. Wemby has probably dominated any league he played in France and once he got to the NBA it’s a different story. He’s remained humble and has played well. Future Superstar.
Dude that question was sure spot on in some way but edgy on the mean side close to be malignant and pushing him to say something embarassing on TV. Not nice.
Glad he knows he’s him lol
Incredible how a french native like him sounds so native and fluent in english
Crazy
Alot of voice coach
Wemby has a awesome personality at a very young age...even with the fame... Don't ever change that Young Man !!!... You're already on your way to the hall of Fame.
This kid is special, I hope he goes down as one of the goats
Yooo, Wemby talk yo shit!!!!!!!! We need this type of energy from our next generation. Him and Edwards gonna have crazy ass clashes!!
Tall, good looking, skillful, down to earth, loveable, what else?
Competitive...
SMART
Humble
No mention of churros, big ol’ San Antonio women, or Bol Bol. Maaannn, I’m disappointed. 😂😂😂
Cuz Shaq doesn’t even believe what he said about bol bol being better 😂
2:51 Chuck should have asked: "How have you been able t-t-to keep yo' mindset off them big ol' women in San Antonio and not let it bother you?"
There was an interview earlier this year where Charles did ask Wemby if he'd tried a churro yet lmao
😂
Damn Shaq lost a lot of weight
wembanyama + pop is gonna show the results in the next 5 years. GOAT coach + all time young talent willing to buy in
any coach, coach could be a problem or not
Hahaha he basically said this game is easy when answering Kenny's question
This young man has it together. Makes great logical points.
Respects the team and the league.
Lots of self confidence without bravado.
I'd like more of this type guy.
Bro you can tell his teammates are jealous cause if he lives up to expectations he’ll basically be Wilt 2.0 with a 3
Vassell particularly needs to get with the program. Very talented young guy but clearly wants to be the #1 on a team where that'll never happen.
I seen his first few games this season I was so pissed on how they miss getting him the ball every time down
@GenerationalDisappointment exactly shit is frustrating
Jealous? They’re going to make their career with the ton of assists they’re going make when Wemby averages 30 per game.
He's such a likeable kid. He's got good vibes, good skills, and a good future in front of him.
The significance of having both a positive vision and a negative one
He's a humble young man that to me is very impressive.
Watching him now and seeing how other players and coaches speak of him makes us just enjoy him more & more. Can't wait to see him grow. Go Wemby Go!!
All-star as a rookie is insane, say what you want about his performance but he's legit
He wasn’t an All Star this year, Wemby just played in the rookie showcase & the skills challenge.
When Shaq won MVP (7th season) he was 28-14-3 and 3 blocks over 39 min per game (pre NBA All Star). This guy as a ROOKIE is 28-14-3 and 4 blocks for identical minutes (39 min) per game. That’s insane. 😮
So that’s just false he’s not even close to that
@@thegodpotato132yea he is
He averages 20 n 10
@@thegodpotato132no u idiot he’s saying if he played as many minutes as shaq
@@thegodpotato132 per 36 stats
As a french iam so freakin proud of him.
Is he from Paris ?
@@PInk77W1No, Le Chesnay, a western suburb.
@@seizya thx
I was a hater of the hype- but I love wembys gratefulness, humility, and pride. He’s a big Giannis fan and you can tell he brings a little bit of that now it’s time to watch the FIRE grow.
Gil was right u see this man’s hairline he’s a real hopper 😂
Shaq looks slimmer and young as hell on this
Both him and chuck have lost a lot of weight. I think they are on this new weight loss drug thats popular
Bro on that TRT and apparently taking his training more seriously than he ever did in his playing days xD
Yea Shaq has been hitting it hard weights as well
😂😂😂the great Scott Stewart said it best, "You gotta cuss, they'll bleep it out, you the star"
“Am I gonna get fined” 😭😭😭😭
Wemby is a very down to earth person.
Only 20 years old and SO well spoken !
NBA going to be in great hands with players like Wemby
lol when he said “what the f is this?” It didn’t even register that it’s a no-no on tv 😂
We guys are lucky to have a french athlete who speak english that well, we french struggle so much with the english !
Gotta admit his english is truly amazing considering his age and the short time spent in the US pre nba. He said he mastered with tv series while young. Impressive!
@@gf5050 the fact that as a pro in France they are surrounded by teammates who speak English must have also helped
@@Obbanthony true that
Err...I don't. But I practise every single day to make sure I stay bilingual.
@@isabellechevereau7539 bilingual people know how to spell practice 😆
Damn shaq small for a change I love to see it😂 😂
Gianis : Where the hell is Tim Duncan
He's a good kid. He has good spirit.
My boy is a giraffe with fundamentals 😂😂😂
🤣🤣😂😂
Future all time great Wemby
I LIKE THIS GUY
8:33 is actually crazy how he dwarfs Shaq
Imagine both of them double teaming a snow bunny

Shaq is officially a baby 😂
TOWER RIGHT OVER HIS ASS 🤣
Excuse his French 😂
Lmfao
Seems like a fine young man can’t wait to see him at the peak of his powers.
Shaq wanted him to mention his name 😂😂😂
I love the TNT guys’ interview questions - so fresh and authentic .
This kid is a class act! I wish him well in life, not just his career!
Great question from Chuck
this guy is already the face of the league
Wemby is GENERATIONAL fo sho...gives NBA nerds such as myself, hope and dope to look forward to after the lebron/kobe generation fizzles out. Wemby vs Chet is 🔥
Wembanyama reminds me a lot of Wilt, especially when blocking shots!
Great interview, this kid really has a good head on his shoulders. I like seeing him in conversation with some of the greats.
So humble to admit he's still have a lot to learn but he's on the right path...
Wemby will soon become the face of the NBA my nigga been pumping out everywhere 👏
Awesome group of young talent players coming up.🏀💯💪🏾
Wow his English has gotten so much better in such short time. Felt like it took luka a little bit more time. He’s so well spoken for his age
? well spoken- here we go
Outstanding content. Extremely likable young Man.
Favorite player
i loved the Shaq impersonation, the voice was so close
You can tell he had a good upbringing. Just has a great sense of character and maturity for his young age.
Much love Victor
We all laugh at Chuck for some of his color commentary, but the guy asked some really good questions that most reporters are afraid to ask. Especially about losing.
Love this kid!
I can officialy confirm this kid is an alien!!
There is not 1 French person on planet earth that speaks English this good.
(And don't get me starte don the basketball!)
It is inevitable but this kid will have a lot of haters. Because he's too damn good! Lets go spurs!
Only 20 wow, 😯 there is gonna be so much success in this guy’s future, just phenomenal Mann ……
Chuck should have asked wemby about churros😂😂😂
An intelligent nice young man. The future holds great things.
That last "lil-man" shot though.
On my way to being one of the greats! That was one of the keys right there
Wemby had Shaq looking normal
Damn that jacket is cool. Look how the pattern blurs out when the camera is further. And they have immaculate cameras.
Bron’s career is older than Wemby. Damn
Love Wemby!!!!!❤
