| 0:00.0 | The great Bommani Jones is with us, the right time with Bomani Jones, wherever you get your podcast. |
| 0:27.1 | Bumani, help me out here. |
| 0:28.6 | Tell me if I got out of hand, got carried away, because I'm a confident cocky Nick fan. |
| 0:32.9 | He's back. |
| 0:34.3 | He's back. |
| 0:35.4 | And we all do things when our teams are doing well and we're confident and we're cocky. |
| 0:42.0 | And I did turn to my wife at one point last night. |
| 0:44.3 | I said to her, Victor Wembenyama, he's overrated. |
| 0:49.4 | I mean, I will say this, though, you could make an argument. |
| 0:53.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:54.2 | Like, I mean, and here's the thing I will say, and I think it was easy for us to forget when |
| 0:59.3 | we really got caught up after game one against the Thunder, which did look like a glimpse |
| 1:03.2 | into the future. |
| 1:04.6 | Similar to LeBron gave us the glimpse into the future in 2007. |
| 1:09.3 | And then the calves went and got swept by the Spurs. |
| 1:12.5 | There were still steps. |
| 1:13.7 | It was four more years before he won a championship. |
| 1:16.7 | Like that was Victor showing what was possible proof of concept, but it was not at a |
| 1:21.6 | rival. |
| 1:22.7 | Right. |
| 1:23.0 | And so the thing that is clear is offensively, he's just out there being really talented |
| 1:27.2 | as of this point. He doesn't have a go-to move. If he goes right and they stop him, you know he's going to spin back to the left or he's going to do that hard stop and then kind of try to Euro step around you. He's not there yet. It's just crazy that he's so far from being there and also still so good. Well, I don't even think he has like a go-to spot on the floor. No. Like when they are desperate for offense, it's just like, Wembe, wherever you're at here. You know, Izzy, you covered basketball in a much closer fashion than I have. But you correct me if I'm wrong here. The big thing about all the great players is spots on the floor and shots they're going to take and there's just nothing you can do to stop them from getting there. Like Kobe getting to the nail on the right, Kauai Litter, that same place, getting to that same shot. It's just a few of them where it's like Larry Bird's ability to tell people what the move was going to be and they couldn't do anything about it. It's just the great players have a spot and you're right. He doesn't have a, the closest thing he seems to have to a spot is like three feet behind a three point line. It seems like that and the other move so far is just throw it off the glass and I'll go get my own rebound. Those are his two go-toes right now and it's not enough. And whatever happened to, was it semi-pro? Would it post-re-re-post? I mean, like your advantage, Wembe is up. So just get in the post and put the shot up where nobody can touch it. And that's where the development needs to happen. This is where it's obvious yesterday, but the funniest thing to me was when Wembe's on the perimeter with cat or whomever and somebody goes by him, |
