    his long arms are one the reasons he is so skilled...on a cross he can bring the ball out super far which helps to make the defender think you will actually go that direction and nobody can reach the ball..but when he crosses it over ,because of his long arms, the ball is lower to the ground..because of his long arms he can dribble lower to the ground in general..its just as much as an advantage as if he is shooting but in that case its the other way around ...nobody can reach his release point

    He's a great scorer and a nightmare to guard, but dude did not have the Mamba mentality. Come on, that's ridiculous. He was part of choking a 3-1 WCF lead on a 73-9 team, and then joined them in the off-season? Salary cap jumped thay off-season, and the Warriors didn't really give anything up by adding him.

      Wemby is a phenom with his combination of length, agility and coordination but to be the best 7 footer ever, he has a long long way to go...
