Unfortunately this statement would hold true if that happened, idgaf how nice Steph was. If there’s 4-5 Wembys out there winning MVPs, you can’t argue anything else😂.
Wemby did something super intelligent very young that allowed him to become so mobile. First, he never played Center, he was playing guard when he was young in spite of his height, and got to practice like every short kid on dribbling and guard play. Second, Wemby is obsessed with stretching to an insane degree. That allows him to be flexible instead of just big. He was special cause he realized early he needs to prepare a different way to be one of the greats, and then did it. Still to this day you see Wemby flexing on the bench when he takes breaks
I would say the first is stretching. That is a BIG deal. It will help with injuries, recovery. Everything. People keep saying he needs to put on weight. I can't disagree more.
@@AR-rn8ok Weight changes the dynamics of his agility, his shot form, injury chance, everything. Weight will come naturally in his career like it did for literally EVERYONE. He doesn't need to force weight. He needs to stay the exact same for the next few years.
@@noahx.classicI don't agree with Wemby needing to be the exact same, but he doesn't have to be Giannis, that's for sure. Giannis was very lanky like Wemby when he first came to the league and had a guard's skillset, he got very buff quickly and took over Jabari Parker's spot when he got injured and didn't look back from that point The thing is, Wemby doesn't need to be like Giannis, he can take it slow, all he has to do is slowly get heavier so that by Year 4 or whenever they get competitive, strong players won't push him around in the paint where his Length is giving him all the advantage. Honestly, from what I've seen last year, he's not really that far off from where he needs to be physically, his own team and his growing Basketball IQ will lead him to success. Sudden increase in Muscle Mass is highly improbable for Wemby unless he takes PEDs and it happens to respond well to him, the recent pics from him "gaining" weight is more or less lighting, editing and having a pump since it's being taken during a workout. Hell, even 6 footers have a hard time gaining visible muscle mass from the gym, what do people expect from a 7'4 dude?
Before he was born he has the environment that can make someone great having a family that is connected to basketball and rich that's why wemby had been trained to be great😊
Maybe I'm taking crazy pills here, but how are we all just going to sit here and act like Yao Ming didn't exist for a good amount of time in the NBA. Not only was he 7'6, he was very good and was literally like the only guy that Shaq couldn't punk.
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd All I know is I met him in person in San Diego like 8 years ago and I've met some really tall people in my life. This man was not only just tall, he was literally a human walking wall. 🤣
Let's give Boban his due though. He may be slow by today's standards but the man has skills for a big man and a higher basketball IQ than most athletic bigs and that's the very reason he's remained longer in the NBA than expected and not because he's just "tall" and "works hard".
@@Lakeliferico He is just in the wrong era. His offensive bag is a lot bigger than people gave him credit for tho. 2000s basketball and earlier, no joke i think boban is a mulitple time all star.
I've seen journalism pieces on Olivier. He is a kind, humble, gentle giant, who works hard and comes from a good family. He seemed to be very intelligent as well. In the pieces, he wasn't even sure if his destiny was basketball and didn't want to be defined as just a basketball player nor would he succumb to peer pressure to become one just because of his height. I hope that if he does choose basketball as his career that he makes the most of his opportunity, and maybe find his way on to the Team Canada squad or perhaps on the Raptors someday. As a proud Canadian, I am really rooting for him to succeed. I just love to see good things happen to good people.
very well stated. There are all these petty people who will never give him credit no matter what he does. Even if he's a marginal NBA player, that's better than some lard ass trashing him on the Net.
Arvydas Sabonis was 7'3". He was basically Wembanyana when he was young. He didn't come to the NBA until he was old and had no cartilage left in his legs.
It really annoys me how Basketball TH-camrs pretend that no one has ever been tall in the NBA but Wemby and players in the 80s. Basketball has only been "dominated" by guards or the 3 for maybe 6 years of the league's existence. For the other 70 years of the league the big man has dominated.
@@Levi-lr4vi There's also the defensive three seconds rule they implemented during the 2001-02 season, which forces any rim protectors to jump back and forth into and out from the paint.
@@Galaxie_ivy no 😂. the early2000s was the most physical era in nba history. lowwest points and lowest pace. and a lot of iso ball. People sayin te 90s was so tuff are cappin. the 200s was tougher for sure. also 80 was fast pace basketball teams averagin 112 ppg wasnt that hard either
But then he will be too heavy and slow for basketball pace. Nah, he just need to build a bit more muscle but not too much, just a little bit will also help protect his knees and ankles too
So basically you want him to turn into shaq. That’s why he got Kobe those first rings. It didn’t matter if ball hog Kobe missed. No one was taking that board from shaq.
Yes and no, this build is good but is hard on this days basket u need to be very fast to switch from defense to offense and u need to be EXTRA good to stay on the NBA like that cause most likely u will end in europe or china.
As he's local, I watched a profile on him a few years ago. At the time he said he wasn't sure if he loved basketball, it's kind of just something he ended up doing because he was so tall. Like he couldn't not play just because of his height. Maybe that changed. And I doubt he would turn down the opportunity to make a lot of money from it. But I hope he has grown to love the game.
@@ProudGoyim666 did he play for Dallas? I only remember him with the 76ers and main reason for that was due to collecting basketball cards as a kid. Shawn Bradley was a common card that came in every other pack. I had about 50 of the same throw away card that nobody wanted lol
@@Billygoat5891 i remember it because of the NASH/NOWITZSKI duo......and when they killed everybody, in came the substitutations for mop-up points, and enter Bradley. a simple Google search would show you .
Chet H. is very unique and extremely versatile, his height, length, footwork/speed and overall coordination is unicorn level for player of his height.. Wemby is next level unicorn that already (physically) is better then Chet's, Chet also has a solid bball IQ(adapting to the NBA quickly and getting better). Wemby's bball IQ is possibly going to be the strongest part of his already insane game. His first NBA season from start to end shows how his overall game literally improving week to week..
I’ll give Shawn some love!! He led the Dallas Mavericks to a 67 win season. The most ever for the Mavs. Unfortunately, my understanding is Shawn had a tragic bike accident and is apparently in a wheelchair now. I was very sad to hear about that. Shawn was a skilled big man that could actually play at a high level. IMO, he never got the respect he deserved here in Dallas.
Actually Zach Edey can shoot threes. He was draining them in the NBA combines. It's just that his university coach, Matt Painter, at Purdue, wanted Edey to play under the basket. Olivier has played basketball most of his life & only a few years ago, he looked pretty coordinated. Once he finally grows into his body, he might surprise people. He is faster than he looks, because his very long legs take him down the court in only several strides.
I always remember Mike Fratello (when coach of the Cavs) announcing back in the mid 90's that he had 'found' a player who was 8'6" 300lbs, and who he planned to add to the team. Pretty sure the guy never appeared.
He looks clunky and slow to me. He'll block shots and get dunks, but he'll get blown by or leave shooters open on switches so much he won't get more than 15-20 min a game.
I honestly think his got a chance in the NBA. Most 7 footers are very slim, but he seems to be very wide and staying strong, along with some fine shooting for his gigantic body and is somewhat able to coordinate and control himself and the rest of the game. We thought Victor Wembenyama would be like no other in history, but it seems like there's been very few to compare just in the pass year of him getting in the league.
@@Oli_kp agreed, but for being 7'9" and still somewhat coordinated is crazy in itself and he'd be an elite guard like Victor, but yes Victor is like no one else before and possibly even after, but who knows we might see another gigantic guy, like Victor Wembenyama.
@@Oli_kp and we've seen him play for Canada and other elite basketball colleges, but chances are very slim, as he already thinks he's not making it to the league and clarified he doesn't want to and only plays the game for fun now, sort of like retiring.
Good video. I would add that Boban has great technical feel for the game. He is a typical Euro player. For his mammoth size he has a good touch and passing ability and also a very high basketball IQ making the right play his intangibles make up for certain defishinsees he has and that's kept him around a long time
so dope that you have a kid man. makes me have that much more respect for you. keep grinding brotha, you are my favorite NBA channel to watch besides @MichaelMacKelvie much love from Sacramento
It'd be interesting to see how Rioux develops. When I see Boban and Fall, I see players that had so much more skill and athleticism than Bol and Muresan. However, the game has changed so much since Muresan last laced them up. If Boban played in a league where guys like Jahlil Okafor were valued and focal points of offense (never happened, but if it did), then he would have done all right. He has more skills than just being a 7'4" curiosity. Fall was also much better than Muresan and Bol, but he couldn't block shots like Bol and Boston never used him like Muresan. If Boston ran plays for him, it would have been interesting to see how other teams would react. I mean, we all know that Golden State would have had Green and Wiggins guard him, but what would Chicago do? Would they have Vucevic guard Fall or would they go small and try to run circles around him? Muresan did well against big guys because they often couldn't figure him out. Even back then, they realized that putting a smaller guy on him, like Rodman, was better. However, even Rodman couldn't do much against a guy who was almost a foot taller than him. Yes, Muresan was slow, but he was effective.
@@NoPlanNoProb How do you figure? Both thor bjornsson and brian shaw were similarly built when they were his age and playing basketball. They're now among best stronmen ever. And they weren't even as good as Olivier at basketball, if we're taking that as an indicator.
Sounds like the scouting report on Clingan. Good defensive timing, likes challenging himself, slow with questions about ability to contribute offensively.
In my opinion, there's no shot he makes the league as anything close to a Top pick. Probably a Nobody, and best case scenario a 55th-60th pick. He's just not good enough like a Zach Edey, nor does he seem like he has any Great Ceeling.
Well you must not understand that big men take a little longer to develop so there is plenty of time for him to grow into his own. He is barely an incoming freshman on the Florida Gators, which have multiple championships so it’s a great program for him to grow in. Be more optimistic rather than pessimistic
@@WatchTheseClips1 Nah I'm pessimistic cause it's a tough road. Florida is Great and there have been massive success stories there, but unless the guy either develops better mobility and coordination in a Short time, Or Has Stats that just simply can't be ignored, then we could talk. Not saying it can't happen however. Edey was around 450th despite not fitting the modern mold. Maybe he takes a leap especially since he's gonna be in the same program as a Legend Big man Like Noah. Best Luck to the guy obviously.
Agreed. Edey was ranked low, but in FIBA U18 he made waves for holding his own against Holmgren and Wemby. Rioux got held to 0 points and was dominated by Daniel Jacobsen (incoming 7'4" Purdue center) in U18 this year.
Wemby is proof Wilt was the greatest of all time. Wilt is stronger, better defender, better offensive, runs faster, jumps higher, rebounds better and once led the league in assists just to prove he could. No he didn't play against milk men. He played against Russell and Kareem and Kareem played against Jordan. It's not some crazy ancient time he played.
In addition to height (advantage in rebs & blocks/intimidation) & being a good teammate, Boban also shot well from mid and long range & was not limited to scoring in the paint.
Facts like how is a two time all-star who was drafted as the 17th pick a bust? If he said his production dropped rapidly then I’ll give him that but a bust? Nah.
@@Ayo601 for real. The entire league shifted styles and made him obsolete, but he was absolutely not a bust. Was so good defending the post he made lebron afraid to drive.
I would draft him for sure. Most draft picks don't pan out very well anyway, but at least you'd have somebody that tall for the key moments when it's useful.
i mean, that’s why he puts a timer at the bottom for you. dude still needs to make money tho so stop complaining about the ad in the free content you’re enjoying.
@@bobbysizzler1167maybe so but their “measurement” was not recognized by Guinness World Records. Probably India’s own measurement system. Therefore, if is not recognized, it doesn’t count! Also, you have to realize a lot of these tall people don’t want Guinness measuring them either because it will show their true height, or it will draw positive or negative attention to themselves.
One of the reasons GMs rightly hesitate to take on big guys is the likelihood they will get injured. It's just really common if you're running around on a frame like that that something will go wrong. Is it worth the investment?
One thing I really like about Wemby and his game, is that he used outside sources of athleticism to allow him to keep his speed. Similar to how Wilt did track and field and it helped his game before moving to basketball, Wemby has shown incredible speed and flexibility for someone of his height because he did things outside of basketball to help his body keep up. This dude definitely has some insanely great body proportions, and once he stops growing, and hopefully soon; he could be a nightmare once he gets adjusted. But one thing Im getting tired of is that the NBA is literally just becoming the epitome of the joke "youre tall, you should play basketball". We see way too many people keep getting attention for just being tall and not having enough talent anymore.
In a different era this would be game breaking but todays game it will be hard to see consistent playing time unless he’s just got crazy IQ and awareness
I’m just glad this kid is healthy. I hate to see some of these gentle giants go through so much physical suffering because of their height. This kid should probably take few acting classes on the side, just as a backup.

@@Oli_kp and we've seen him play for Canada and other elite basketball colleges, but chances are very slim, as he already thinks he's not making it to the league and clarified he doesn't want to and only plays the game for fun now, sort of like retiring.
A.M. Hoops, keep making videos
Good luck to this guy!!! YAO MING should throw his weight behind promoting him
Good video. I would add that Boban has great technical feel for the game. He is a typical Euro player. For his mammoth size he has a good touch and passing ability and also a very high basketball IQ making the right play his intangibles make up for certain defishinsees he has and that's kept him around a long time
don't know how 7'6 yao ming wasn't even mentioned, bro was a tower and yet could shoot dime 3s, he was wemby before wemby
Nothing like wemby
Indeed, best combo of size and skills ever.
@@stylesmarshall6990Yao much stronger than Wemby
so dope that you have a kid man. makes me have that much more respect for you. keep grinding brotha, you are my favorite NBA channel to watch besides @MichaelMacKelvie much love from Sacramento
It'd be interesting to see how Rioux develops. When I see Boban and Fall, I see players that had so much more skill and athleticism than Bol and Muresan. However, the game has changed so much since Muresan last laced them up. If Boban played in a league where guys like Jahlil Okafor were valued and focal points of offense (never happened, but if it did), then he would have done all right. He has more skills than just being a 7'4" curiosity.
Fall was also much better than Muresan and Bol, but he couldn't block shots like Bol and Boston never used him like Muresan. If Boston ran plays for him, it would have been interesting to see how other teams would react. I mean, we all know that Golden State would have had Green and Wiggins guard him, but what would Chicago do? Would they have Vucevic guard Fall or would they go small and try to run circles around him?
Muresan did well against big guys because they often couldn't figure him out. Even back then, they realized that putting a smaller guy on him, like Rodman, was better. However, even Rodman couldn't do much against a guy who was almost a foot taller than him. Yes, Muresan was slow, but he was effective.
U forgot Yao at 7’6…3rd tallest nba player ever
7' + starting 5 is coming.
I know this will never happen, but what if?:
Wembanyama
Holmgren
Porzingus
Edey
Bol Bol
If he can't make it in basketball, I'd love to see him train as a strongman.
Zero shot
@@NoPlanNoProb How do you figure? Both thor bjornsson and brian shaw were similarly built when they were his age and playing basketball. They're now among best stronmen ever. And they weren't even as good as Olivier at basketball, if we're taking that as an indicator.
@@gokhan4461 simple. his name sounds French and the French are soft.
@@NoPlanNoProb Oh yeah. Jean-pierre brulois was a total softie.
@@gokhan4461 don’t know the kid but yea he sounds like a white flag waver to me
Sounds like the scouting report on Clingan. Good defensive timing, likes challenging himself, slow with questions about ability to contribute offensively.
4:56 that should be enough of a hint to leave this man the fuck alone. He's just trying to live his life as peacefully as possible
thats not possible. u don't see giants everyday.
Great Video Casey
In my opinion, there's no shot he makes the league as anything close to a Top pick. Probably a Nobody, and best case scenario a 55th-60th pick. He's just not good enough like a Zach Edey, nor does he seem like he has any Great Ceeling.
Well you must not understand that big men take a little longer to develop so there is plenty of time for him to grow into his own.
He is barely an incoming freshman on the Florida Gators, which have multiple championships so it’s a great program for him to grow in.
Be more optimistic rather than pessimistic
@@WatchTheseClips1 Nah I'm pessimistic cause it's a tough road. Florida is Great and there have been massive success stories there, but unless the guy either develops better mobility and coordination in a Short time, Or Has Stats that just simply can't be ignored, then we could talk. Not saying it can't happen however. Edey was around 450th despite not fitting the modern mold. Maybe he takes a leap especially since he's gonna be in the same program as a Legend Big man Like Noah. Best Luck to the guy obviously.
Agreed. Edey was ranked low, but in FIBA U18 he made waves for holding his own against Holmgren and Wemby. Rioux got held to 0 points and was dominated by Daniel Jacobsen (incoming 7'4" Purdue center) in U18 this year.
@@JimJam1069 edey is talented, he's athletic and move well but rioux isn't great
Jamarion Sharp on the Dallas Mavericks is 7’5”
Working ethic is the most underrated skill for young players, talent can get u into the league, but working hard is what keeps you there
“Can’t even go out in public without being called a freak.” Dude called like 4 guys freaks.
Wemby is proof Wilt was the greatest of all time. Wilt is stronger, better defender, better offensive, runs faster, jumps higher, rebounds better and once led the league in assists just to prove he could. No he didn't play against milk men. He played against Russell and Kareem and Kareem played against Jordan. It's not some crazy ancient time he played.
Wilt was in a league of his own and he'd score over 100 in this soft league
Not even close...theyd lose by 30 plus if he tried that today@theerepenterakatheecomfort277
No one compares with wilt. Goat of all time.
Most disrespected player ever.
@@theerepenterakatheecomfort277what? The talent is so much better now. Wilt would be lucky to play a few minutes of garbage time a game 😂
In addition to height (advantage in rebs & blocks/intimidation) & being a good teammate, Boban also shot well from mid and long range & was not limited to scoring in the paint.
He could be taller and stronger but he wont be better then Wemby
Boban the goat!
Had an NBA carreer, fan favorite, done multiple commercials, played a role in John Wick.
I’m going to honest and I was a college basketball player dude not going to the nba he’s 7’9 and walking on at Florida
Casey's advice to Olivier: Team up with a bearded lady, travel around the country.
The Bobroczky guy looks like a skibidi toilet
nearly half the video was a mattress ad
He wasn't even a rotational player coming off the bench in his senior year at IMG it's a long stretch to say he's gonna make it to the NBA
Your bulldog is awesome man
Roy Hibbert wasn't a bust
Facts like how is a two time all-star who was drafted as the 17th pick a bust? If he said his production dropped rapidly then I’ll give him that but a bust? Nah.
@@Ayo601 for real. The entire league shifted styles and made him obsolete, but he was absolutely not a bust. Was so good defending the post he made lebron afraid to drive.
I would draft him for sure. Most draft picks don't pan out very well anyway, but at least you'd have somebody that tall for the key moments when it's useful.
People keep saying men are getting smaller each generation but it’s certainly not being reflected in professional sports if that’s true!
Men overall are. Half of these athletes are kids of pro athletes. Some of the kids no this and don't claim the dad since we he didn't claim them.
Haven't people gotten taller over the generations? The average height in 1800 was like 5"7 now it's 5"9.
Oppisite is true
Not watching the ad)
i mean, that’s why he puts a timer at the bottom for you. dude still needs to make money tho so stop complaining about the ad in the free content you’re enjoying.
Oml i skip ts
2:49 end of ad
No mention of taco fall and boban?😮 im offended
There not in the league I think
@@DetroitSportsFanSince2002 Boban is a free agent and not signed
He did mention them, but not Kenny George who was 7'7" and more of what you'd see as a height difference with Olivier.
I'll just say, he doesn't look weird. That is a huge advantage. It means less chance of injury, less awkward or limited movement
Him and wemby on spurs🔥
Height inflation means everyone gonna 7’ in 20 years and people are gonna be saying if steph played in that era he would get blocked every other shot.
Karan singh from india is 8' 4" 😎
No, he is currently 8’ 2”
@mm2024-7 he measured it live it is 8' 4" or even 8' 5"
@@bobbysizzler1167maybe so but their “measurement” was not recognized by Guinness World Records. Probably India’s own measurement system. Therefore, if is not recognized, it doesn’t count!
Also, you have to realize a lot of these tall people don’t want Guinness measuring them either because it will show their true height, or it will draw positive or negative attention to themselves.
Duncan, Dirk and Gasol proved that having an skilled big man was the way to succeed.
Bro💀we need a height limit in the NBA bro come on💀
Tell that to Wemby
This guy is a freak! If he can play well, he's going to dominate hard! Repeat - he needs to be able to play!
Wishing the best for him 🙏🏿
The only thing i'm worried about is how large his heart is
Everytime manute ran i thought his knees were gonna snap
That’s nuts he will be tallest player ever. Thanks for the info on your channel I ment u in the casino app
Every time we see someone tall like that it’s like one ankle injury and they’re gone forever lol
One of the reasons GMs rightly hesitate to take on big guys is the likelihood they will get injured. It's just really common if you're running around on a frame like that that something will go wrong. Is it worth the investment?
3:37 this is the kid that played the terrifying alien/human baby at the end of Alien Romulus
Hope he makes it big and can get a home that accommodates him
I totally forgot Boban got killed by John Wick 😂😂😂😂
The super-tall dudes always end up injured constantly
Tacko Fall is 7’6 and in amazing shape and a good player, the NBA just didn’t take advantage of his skills properly and he got no minutes!
One thing I really like about Wemby and his game, is that he used outside sources of athleticism to allow him to keep his speed. Similar to how Wilt did track and field and it helped his game before moving to basketball, Wemby has shown incredible speed and flexibility for someone of his height because he did things outside of basketball to help his body keep up.
This dude definitely has some insanely great body proportions, and once he stops growing, and hopefully soon; he could be a nightmare once he gets adjusted. But one thing Im getting tired of is that the NBA is literally just becoming the epitome of the joke "youre tall, you should play basketball". We see way too many people keep getting attention for just being tall and not having enough talent anymore.
Court is too small allowing for clogged paint slow big dudes. If it was spread out the average dude would be pretty good
In a different era this would be game breaking but todays game it will be hard to see consistent playing time unless he’s just got crazy IQ and awareness
I’m just glad this kid is healthy. I hate to see some of these gentle giants go through so much physical suffering because of their height. This kid should probably take few acting classes on the side, just as a backup.
