It's crazy how much he's already better than Wemby. More efficient, matured and winner. You have another superstar OKC fans. Hope to see you in the finals.

[@JazzQuests]

@@ilkemagic7721 hes better than wembrick

[@thestudent59007]

You are dreaming he is not comparable to Wemby. Wemby is a generational player. Chet could be a star...

[@willjensen5595]

Bad take

[@joshuabennell]

This guy right here is going to be the chet come playoffs OKC24

[@mtlqc4282]

the okc manager and Chet faked this injury like Benita Simmons

[@user-xp8yq5rf5z]

CHETTTTTTTT

[@user-gw9sk1zy4s]

Wemby at 7'4" 80 inch sleeves and real athletic ability will always be a stat stuffer. But will he make the
players around him winners.
So far all the spurs do is lose and lose. And don't make the excuse that he's on a lousy team. This so-called generational talent is producing wins at 21%. That's pathetic. The thunder went fron 48% winning with sga, williams and giddy to 72% winning by adding 1 player. Chet ties the whole thing together. And I'm old enough to remember that larry bird who was called slow, non athletic and white took a bad celtic team that won 20 games the previous year to winning 62 games his rookie season. And point of fact, Kevin McHale and robert parish didn't join the celtics until bird's 2nd season. That the definition of 1 player making everyone else around him better. It's winning that seperates the men from the boys.

[@user-gw9sk1zy4s]

Correction: The celtics won 29 games the year before bird arrived and won 61 games his rookie season. But you get my point.

[@taoforte8988]

My boy needs some natural light in that space

[@dakpricemusic]

Dude looks like he's slowly dying

[@aldixavier1761]

Was that comment necessary😕
