- Shaq was totally wrong about Wemby, but he still denies it. Shaq was still doubling down on Bol Bol after his impressive game against the Trailblazers. Shaq was totally wrong about Wemby though, stating that Victor Wembanyama and Bol Bol are basically the same 7'4" players with handles and a jumpshot. Shaq on Wemby and Bol Bol take is just absurd, and Victor Wembanyama is proving so!

Was Shaq wrong about his comments comparing Bol Bol to Wemby?
Shaq comparing Wemby to Bol Bol is like comparing prime Steph Curry to the current Jordan Poole
Haha true
Shaq is close to the Bol family, his son and Bol played together, Shaq is obviously trying to advocate for Bol Bol to get him a spot in the NBA like a biased uncle.
sheesh. true lol
This example can’t get anymore perfect 🤝🏾💯
What has weby done and he probably gone get hurt and have a seven year run then body gone were down 🎉
2 things we should factor in :
- Chet has been around the league, and practicing with his team for one year prior to his rookie season
- Wemby is discovering a new country, culture and game.. for those of you who had the chance to move overseas, remember how hard it is to settle the first year, culturally and professionally?
both true, different beginnings, as Chet had to recover from injury, and Wemby adjusting to new country, but Wemby does have the support of the HOF legends of the Spurs
AND Chet is older than Wemby. What Chet is today, Wemby is already better. So guess how much better he's going to be at Chet age @@hoopersln
@@Simon-mj1im ya very true. It comes down to who evolves and who takes a step back. Both are in great positions. Wemby of course has the upper hand.
Wembey has been playing with nba players since high school
Wemby play and of courde deliver coz he s 80% of the offence on spurs. And the spurs are brecking every bad record of last year. Chet made okc a betterr team and have strongest player that can obscure his stats.
Shaq feels threatened by Wemby's potential. Knows that with Giannis's build he could be more dominant than he ever was.
Victor doesn't need the build. It will affect his explosiveness, nimbleness and speed.
@@stevendavis6157there's no proof of that, studies show it actually improves all that you mentioned if he works on his flexibility. And no one cares how flexible he is if he gets bodied for having the strength of a 14 yr old
idk why he tries to down play Wemby at times by comparing him to bol bol, like he never does that to Giannis or Jokic? What makes Wemby different for him lol
😂😂😅😂😂😂😢😂😂😂 no way you said that he gone be more dominant than shaq dude webay will never have a 60 point game and 20 rebounds in playoffs nigga might not win rookie of the year lol😂 and ginnas has one ring and his stats aren’t shaq like or wilt like 😂😂😂
Did you see Embiid manhandle him?@@stevendavis6157
After Wemby basically took it straight at Chet and messed him up, Wemby won ROTY
Hopefully voters think before doing something stupid
Wemby all day every day for ROTY.
Shaq took 30 years to admit he was lying about David Robinson. Owning things isn’t his strong suit.
absolutely
Embiid-b is a way better center then shaq by a million. miles
Shaq wants to be known as the quirky dude who shits on a rookie or any other player who’s having a good year. Shit’s annoying sometimes
And if the player becomes great, he'll say it's thanks to him because he "motivated" him, lol
@@radicalmatamuneyea tht shit is corny because he can say he was right either way
those hot takes is what get him atenttion, so it shouldn't be surprising these guys(not only shaq, if you know) have the most atrocious takes ever
Bol Bol is Shaq’s son’s friend so you know he’s gonna keep shouting him out no matter what.
@@radicalmatamunefacts
This is crazy. Rookie of the year should never be about wins. Rookie of the year is an individual award not team award. Example: Carmelo Anthony was on a playoff team as rookie and was a big part on why they were there but it was given to LeBron. It’s an individual award. Never should be viewed the same way people view the MVP.
Wemby is doing thing chet has not even accomplished yet. He also doing it in less time on the court. He is also doing better defensively than Chet in every category. Since Wemby moved to Center his efficiency is 52/31/85. Vs Chet 55/37/71. It was just 5 games ago the spurs started to make effort to get Wemby the ball. Vs Chet who has played run for him almost every quarter. Usage rate for Chet within offense is more than Wemby yet Chet still can’t eclipse what Wemby is doing even though Chet is playing more mins, better talent, all star point guard and offense that runs him half court sets and 3 different players who can get him entry passes accurately. Not to mention because he plays with Shai he gets a lot of open looks vs Wemby being double or triple teamed at times. This has not ever been a debate
Wins do matter but it depends on how you impact the wins. Wemby isn’t quite what we wanted, but he’s still very good. However comparing him to Chet is silly. Chet is better in almost every way at this stage. I don’t see more upper end talent in Chet for sure, but Chet is just better. His efficiency is dramatically better and he is better by every advanced stat by huge amounts. Let’s not pretend box score has anything to do w impact. Wemby is making plays when his team is down 20 and no one cares if they score easy 2s. This doesn’t change that he’s got incredible talent but he isn’t close to rookie of the year at this point. To many mental mistakes, too little impact in the team, and he is way way too much of an ineffective volume scorer at this point. All that could change obvs. He’s also (outside of blocking shots) and poor defender in most respects. He’s lost a lot, loses track of his man, can be overwhelmed physically, and appears disinterested for stretches. All that can and should be cleaned up, but we all have to be honest about what he’s actually doing. And remember that the ROY is about what you do on the floor not what you can be. 😊
Wemby fan boys can’t stand how good Chet is
@youarentgoingtolikethis wemby fan boys? Yeah... I'm one of them cuz I live in San Antonio! Look who made the all-star list for west... hmm.... oh that's right! Chets teammate, SGA!! Chet is playing with an all star, whereas Wemby doesn't have anyone at that level! ROY award has always been about individual accomplishments!! That's why top rookies go on the worst teams! Chet was lucky he sat out last year and was already on a playoff building team! Wemby leads every stat including leading the league in blocks...
@@mariocavazos1421 top rookies go on the worst teams because the worst teams pick first in the draft (unless they traded the pick away).
@@werb24wins have never mattered for roty. That’s only come up this time because it favors Chet
If Bol Bol was going to be good, it would have happened already. Some people get too hung up on potential. After a while, it is like, shit or get off the pot.
Ya he had his little stretch in ORL, but couldn’t stay consistent.
He getting black balled fam
@@doncox4450black balled for what?
@@doncox4450he's just not as good as Wembanyama or Chet. Just accept it.
@@doncox4450 he sucks period. Bring out whatever conspiracy theories you want. Even Muresan was tall. Was he black balled? Shaq's takes are largely dumb and he has a job talking shit because of his career
Chet isn't winning games, he's playing on a team that would win games without him. Also, their trajectories are different: Wembanyama keeps getting better as the season goes on while Holmgren doesn't.
They wouldn’t be first in the west right now if it wasn’t for him tho. He’s pretty much the only thing that has changed since last year for the team and look were they are now
@@xv4373 Did SGA play at the same MVP level last season?
@@xv4373so you're just not gonna give any developmental credit to the thunder? Is that how it works? Teams don't actually get better sometimes?
Chet definitely wins them games. He's literally hit a couple game winners lol. Don't be salty. Wemby needs to stop shooting 6 3 point attempts per 36 minutes until he can actually shoot 31% or better.
@@CanditoTrainingHQChet isn’t winning games his team is. Chet can have a bad fans and they still win. That team is stacked. Wemby is shooting 31% from 3 what are you talking about? And he leads the league in blocks as a rookie and Chet is 2 years older
you need to update your stat for Chet
It 38.6% at 3pt. absolutly not 'over 40'
Cry harder
@@dakotatiger2009 bro that's a fact🤨 get off your knees
@@uwin23wemby suck fest has begun.
Wemby is the RoY. Chet is a 2nd year pro! Chet had a whole year to learn the NBA court culture and work on his shooting. If Chet wins then the NBA is sanctioning the red-shirting of rookies to allow them to better their chances at RoY. Chet could not function on the Spurs’ team; Wemby would have OKC on a near ZERO losses season.
If anyone watched the full TNT clip in context, Shaq wasn't comparing Wemby to Bol Bol, or saying Bol Bol is better. he was just stating that this is not the first time we have seen this size and skill set / player type cuz everyone going we never seen anything like Wemby before. He even acknowledged later that Wemby is way better and on the trajectory to stardom, which is way above Bol Bol's level just trying to get any playing time. Good video but the argument and the title is based on a take that is presented out of context.
Same thing I just commented.Its crazy what people can interpret as opposed to what he really said.
Although true Shaqs take was still very flawed.
The jist of it was "Bol Bol and Wemby have the same amount of tools and the only thing separating them is effort" which was a pretty shallow take. It's like someone commenting "we will never see a player like Shaq again" and someone commenting "you're wrong Andre Drummond plays the same way and has the same tools the only thing separating him from Shaq is effort".
Shaq is a very a petty person who's always overly concerned with his image as the most dominant big man and player's "resumes". It wouldn't surprise me if Shaq was just trying to put Wemby down because he feels threatened. We saw him have the same sort of petty vindictive attitude when he felt insecure and threatened by Dwight Howard.
Bol Bol never went to a team and the coach said do what the fuck you want to you not coming out of the game...wtf..when did he do that...??????...I'll wait
U right lowkey
Exactly 😂😂
cause hes TRASH
All stars do that 😂😂😂 Westbrook, KD, LeBron cry baby James, Kawai did that for a whole season 😂😂😂😂😂 Harden 😂😂😂😂😂
Can't you say the same thing to him? He can go to a rebuilding team but he went to Phoenix.
He plays 24 min per game
That’s another wild stat on top of Wemby only being 20!
Aren’t you the same who made a video with the title « shaq was absolutely right about wemby but no one listened » ?
Rookie of the year is a player accomplishment. Winning games is a team accomplishment. So winning games should not matter for the Rookie of the year award.
Wemby
He’s on a minutes restriction and still puts up crazy numbers
Just shaq proving once again he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
It's the same argument they used against Chamberlain how Chamberlain isn't the greatest of all time despite his stats because he was two feet taller than everyone else
He actually said he was impressed on TNT.
this video is a clickbait, wrong stat all over, just taking what he want from Shaq for his narrative...
Chet win games of course but their games are more tied than Spurs one, so Chet dont need do much. If Wemby want to win games he then need to score 35/40 each game which i beleave is hard to do as rookie. (We talk about MVP candidate stats)
He would have to up his playing minutes to get to 35/40.
You're basically saying he needs to put up Embiid's numbers while on a minutes restriction.
Chets team wins games.
I think people are missing his point, he is not saying that bol bol is as good as wemby or even comes close, he is just saying they are the same archetype of player and style just one is way better and has way more potential.
I'll tell you. I've never seen a ex-NBA player knock the City of San Antonio so much as Shaq. He hates SA. He grew up there, so where is the sense in that? Wemby represents the next big talent and all the attention is going away from crybaby Shaq who is now the step child in SA once more. That's all that is. He was to be the big dog and he's just a weenie again. Waaaaa Waaaaaa.
In fairness to Bol Bol his ball handling is more fluid than Wemby's. But that's the only thing he's better at.
To be fair many times teams have not gave bol bol the same type of opportunity like wemby to play consistent minutes nd allow him to play his way
shaq is the goat of hating on other big men
A month ago on this channel a video was uploaded where they said that Shaq was right about Wemby when it is very easy to know that Shaq has always hated the big players who play in his position, these NBA videos on TH-cam became completely disposable now anyone thinks they are an expert
I like Shaq but he is dumb sometimes LOL. And if you try to present a different opinion he throws his stupid "Rings" argument or how he is the CEO of Big Men or whatever the hell he calls himself.
Wemby has a dog in him. He always bring out the best of his game every time he has a contemporary on the other team. He even brought the big boy pants against chet
Wemby is averaging 20 btw not 19.
Fr
And Chet is averaging 17, not 18
Since moving to center wemby is avg 25
you can’t really factor wins when chet has SGA & wemby has no one. it’s rookie of the year, not best team with a rookie of the year
Shaq comparison with Bol bol is his way of passive agressive toward a generational talent that has potential to be one of the greatest if not the best
I actually agree with Shaq on this one
Why ppl tripping he stating facts, yes Wemby better but he wasn’t the first to be a 7+guy that can play like a guard, in the league
The only and main Victor's issue for a lot of Americans is that he's French. They see Europeans walking on their league and they're upset. And Victor will be the next one who will destroy the League.
How can the self-proclaimed most dominant player in NBA history have a career rebounding average that is 31st in league history? Look it up.
Shaquille is a prideful man and will never admit he is wrong. He is overly critical of big men in order to preserve his legacy.
Because why not? he knew his all time records will be SMASHED by this kid with ease.
As a Suns fan I'm a huge supporter of Bol, and he's playing really well this year. With that being said, this is ridiculous, Wemby has goat level potential, this kid could possibly be better than Shaq at some point.
Wemby could put All star numbers easily if he wasn't on a minutes restriction
Wemby is doing that now. Since moving to center he’s been averaging 25/10/3/3 52%
If you think that comparison was saying that Wemby is as bad as Bol Bol, y’all are wrong. His whole point is that physically and skill-wise, they are the same. Shaq isn’t high on Bol, he’s challenging Wemby to not be happy being a physical presence, but to keep working. Y’all taking Shaq’s point to make money
Shaq denies orthodromic navigation on a sphere. His head is hollow.
😂👍
Shaq the ROASTED 🍗 Wemby the ROTY 🔥
If you pull Chet off the Thunder team, they are still threatening to go to the Finals....Wemby all day for ROTY!
Shaq is so american for that, he will never give deserved flowers to European players
It was so hard to hear the video clip at the beginning it sounded like Shaq was whispering but when you started talking it sounded like you were yelling in my ear.
For your information Wemby - ROY.
I think it’s a KNOWN fact that Shaq HATES on Big Men who have more natural skill then him…. Wilt Did the same thing to Shaq BUT Wilt actually had more skill & strength. Because he actually worked hard on his game & Body.
Bol Bol is nothing like wemby Bol Bol been in the league like 4yrs know
He's just a heater and wants him to fail I don't blame him because I always heated him and still do
Huge respect for Bol and basically anybody that made it to the nba, but pls shaq be serious a sec
shaq isnt wrong tho. Wemby is miles better than bol bol but bol is the first guy at that
Shaq'ting a fool on full display by its namesake.
Shaq does this to every single big man that comes into the game. Funny af to see him threatened by a rookie who could take Shaqs all time spot.
on the other side, it's like "bully marketing", whatever he says, whatever if it's true, whatever it becomes, our attention still focus on shaq's "trashtalk". If it's intentionnal, for an entertainer, it would be brilliant.
If you're going to round up points for chet then do it for
wemby 21 point 10 rebounds and 3.1 blocks
Chet 17 points 8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks
You can’t compare him to lebron. He already played pro ball before entering the nba. Other than blocks he doesn’t play winning basketball like lebron
One problem whith chet.
He's half sophomore.
Spurs haven’t even won 10 games 😂 generational talent can’t lead his team to 10 wins. Shaq spot on
Wemby is ROY!
People don’t understand that Shaq is giving bol bol a platform to become great again. Shaq personally knows bol bol and his family and let’s be honest. To compare bol bol right now to wemby is crazy but it helps bol bol especially if he plays better
You can have been a good player, but be a bad analyst.
Shaq doubling down on bad takes? Say it ain’t so.
Clickbait title...you've totally missed Shaq's point (what he said right after) - that there has been a player like Wemby, but Bol Bol doesnt play hard and isnt consistent
Sooo... He's not at all like Wemby who plays hard and is consistent.
I get what Shaq is saying but it is totally irrelevant as far as playing basketball is concerned. Playing hard and being consistent is a huge part of being a great player.
All Star rookie and defensive player of the year
Wemby's goal is not to impress Shaq but the basketball world
I thinks its more about Bol than it is Wemby. Shaqs son is best friends with Bol Bol so I think its Shaqs way of trying to movitate him. Shaq was raised by a military step pops so I think tough love is what he knows.
Winning games don't matter Wemby has it !!!
Lol i forgot zion was in the league 😂😂😂
Haha he barely came back. But he’ll sit out again soon. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Not going to lie if bol hade the team behind he be doing the same
Wemby wins roty. This is an individual award not a team. It’s not about winning games for this.
Ill give the Rookie of the year to Wemby. Eye test, Stats and wemby is the bus driver. I know spurs are losing but imagine if the spurs doesnt have wemby. Spurs never won without him
Spurs had a better record last year without him. Just saying. I have no idea why that is.
Also that triple double he had was done in 21 minutes played. It was against the Pistons tho so that might be worth mentioning 😂
Wemby the next lebron to hate tho
Put bol bol on the spurs with Trae and wemby it would be a killer team
Shaq was dead wrong about Wemby's talent level and his potential but he was right about Bol Bol being the first player of that kind. Wemby is a lot better early and has a wider range of abilities, but there are obvious similarities.
Shaq is clearly biased with his comparison here
Bol is a friend if Shaq's family so he is trying to hype it by saying something that may be true ("Bol Bol wast the first") but is irrelevant as to which player is the better player.
Let's say that Bol Bol was indeed the first but Wemby is the best from miles away so that Shaq doesn't have to back down from what he said... 😅
yall guys is trippin shaq is just secretly wanna push wemby by criticize him just like kareem do it to him
Bro the people in the comments and this video are wild. The man is just saying Wemby not the first. 7’+ forward.. Which is true… Now if we talk about who's better.. that's a different story
been thinkin lately maybe having wemby on a sucky team his rookie season will make him appreciate it more when they get more support later on. cuz spurs definitely will make some changes being that they have a talent like wemby. he won’t be spoiled in that aspect of only being on winning teams and not knowing how to lose in the nba.
I don’t think pop or the whole spurs organization expected wemby to be this good this soon. They likely thought it would take 2-4 years of development until wemby had a breakout season. He’s already a star player 3 months in
@@hashbrown4278 agreed. can’t wait to see what his revenge seasons are gonna look like once they get the right pieces around him
I mean, it’s mattered to a point. When you have two guys w similar numbers and similar profiles, the guy who is winning games matters. But more importantly, advanced stats have mattered. You want to box score an out go ahead.
Nope. Shaq is simply a bully. And bullies don't like admitting they're wrong
Its a fair comparison honestly. only difference is their mindset. Sorta like if u gave Benjamin David Simmons LeBron mindset.
Old man being sour hahahaha
Haha 😂
Shaq is just hating on french players at this point
Well Shaq is american and he is Shaq, so not really a surprise that he can't get past his ego and acknowledge it was total bs. Nothing new under the sun really.
Shaq is funny and entertaining, but his word is as good as milk.
your comment is an insult to milk
Considering wemby has been not just improving but drastically improving and will be winning rookie of the month for January and likely win it every month after.. I give it to wemby.
Shaq does this with any big he thinks is a threat to his legacy.
There were giants in those days, and also after.
hes protecting his legacy lmao
What is this shit with Bol Bol I don’t understand lol he was drafted by Miami and they looked at him and said get him tf outta here right away. If the Heat don’t see a vision for you, you’re likely a lost cause and it’s probably bc of effort or attitude
Fundamentals...Basketball is not only shoot, dribble, block and dunk.
If they give bol bol minutes an shots he’d do the same he’s just not marketable
Wemby flexin muscles after a dunk? that looks so stupid! a 10feet dude who doesnt need to jump celebrating after a dunk
"Mah Noot" Bol..
In my mind, Wemby is clearly ROTY. But so what? He's developing into a tall shooting forward, not a center. The problem is, so far he isn't shooting very well, and has most success catching lobs for dunks, a la Dereck Lively or Aaron Gordon. His "handles" are pretty useless when he's guarded by players who strip the ball or pick his pocket. He's a great help defender in the paint, maybe the best in the league in that regard. But he can't guard physical players who push him around.
So all in all he's still a mixed bag. Sure, he's "only a rookie", but what worries me is that he's developing the wrong way. He seems to be geared towards becoming a shooter like KD, without any evidence thus far that he will shoot as well.
And, for whatever reason, his impact is negligible. The Spurs perform as well when he's off the court as when he's on the court, and their record will likely be worse this year than last year.
Something still needs to change to help him realize his potential as an all-time great. Plus there's the threat of injuries to his longevity.
