When I first finished watching a video of yours from my recommended I suspected you had a few hundred thousand or maybe a million subs and was surprised to see you had less than 15k. Your channel is easily my favorite basketball analysis channel on RU-vid. The well written script and delivery are so concise and entertaining while still being highly well thought out and illuminating. I feel like I learn something new about the game I love, every time I watch. I anticipate each new video from you and I can’t say the same for most of the channels I’m subscribed to. Keep up the excellent work and continue to improve and I’m sure you will have 1 mil+ subs in no time 👏
This comment deserves to be pinned. It's comments like thesse that keep me going. "I feel like I learn something new about the game I love, every time I watch." This is the point. BASKETBALL is the most beautiful game on earth. I'm glad to have someone in this community who loves the game as much as I do my friend.
One of the best side effect of having Wemby in the league is that it forces all the stars/superstars to get creative against him. It's not impossible to score when he's on you, but you're gonna have to work for it, and that's going to create some very exciting finishes for years to come. Plus, Wemby is going to naturally get stronger and more experienced over time. This is going to be fun af.
I feel like the spurs are on the verge of becoming a decent team. They were getting blown out earlier in the season. Thier last 2 games have been losses but not only were they close but they are finally keeping opponents under 120pts. They have given up 130+ 2x and 150 this year. They are looking better on defense and able to keep games closer on offense. Also although the wolves game was a good one for Victor, the Heat game wasnt. once he figures out that half of his shots are just bad decision making, and learns to take good quality shots, he will become more efficient. They need an efficient wemby and vassell to compete with others
3:40 so glad you showed this the way you described the T-W and Ant is perfect its similar to LeBron just unbelievable athleticism and dominance early on with a team that has no true identity just good hoopers trying their best until they run into strategy. Wemby Blocking with BOTH hands like this blows my mind.
I wish Ant all the success in the world. But just because they are winning right now, doesn't mean they don't have a lot of flaws to fix. The goal is a championship. Not just winning as many regular season games as possible.
How do you only hav 19k subs? I thought with this quality, you'd have hundreds of thousands. I love this channel. It seems like I learn something every time you post a video. Every video is educational for a casual like me and also entertaining at the same time. Please continue to make these videos even though I know they are a ton of work to put together. Don't forget us when you blow up my man. Thanks for making it fun and educational. That's cool
@@0piumaeternum He's actually averaging 332,000 views, not half a million but seeing the quality of his videos, I had assumed that he was a huge channel already. No doubt we will be soon.
The Wemby Effect is not unique in concept, but that doesn’t take away how impressive it is that a 19 year old is already building up one of the most formidable defensive reputations in the entire NBA.
wowo very fine analysis and interesting video. Good work. Keep on going this way. Do not hesitate to add more technical comments for the most taught of us...
The wolves have had issues for years, they are definitely playing more controlled, but as you said with the star talent thing, we have fallen apart in nearly every 3rd or 4th quarter, there was a 20pt lead, we blew it but still hung on. Same goes for the GSW game sunday, I love what the spurs and OKC have been doing to utilize everyone, the wolves have so much talent and now some maturity one the team (conley) that I think we have a shot at going far, we just need to rely on who's hot, a big offender of this was DLo last season just bricking over and over but probably because of ego/perceived status, he just kept shooting bricks (on open shots too), and I think Ant had a really low % game recently too.
@GOATiology For sure, hopefully, that comes soon. I know we had a 1st in the west spot with Garnett (and then didn't win the chip), so hopefully, we can get there again and win a round or 2
Good breakdown, just one thing I have to say. I agree with what you said about the Wolves offense of relying on talent, and it was wrong of Ant not to pass on that three or whatever but this is kind of a young team, and they’re still immature. Come time or the playoffs hopeful they will have fixed this by taking the open and easy option. The thing is, I don’t mind trying to out Talent your opponent, especially with this team. Ant is the man, and he knows it, he’s not afraid to size up guys like Wemby, Lebron, Jokic, Kawhi, all those guys. And he can beat them. No one can guard Ant-Man consistently. KAT is also great, the best 3 Point shooting big man in history. He can also post up. Mike Conley is a great passing point guard, and he opens things up. Jaden McDaniels is another brilliant defender who has some offense too. Naz Reid is one of the best 6th man in the NBA. They have lots of talent. Hey can rely on it. It’s like telling Steph curry not to shoot from deep. Also, you make it seem like Wemby and the Spurs offense is so much better than the Wolves and stuff and that it works and all that. The spurs have won one of 3 games against the Wolves this season. And they won by 1 point. The Wolves are beating them, so technically their strategy is as good if not better.
Well. You're partially wrong on the good process by the spurs. What i mean is that only 3 to 4 guys on that spurs roster play european style or the spurs style of basketball. Namely, wemby, cedi, vassel and tre jones and maybe doug. The rest are headless chickens playing aau type basketball. The spurs are currently trying to reform sochan's game but it's gonna prolly take a long time before he improve his decision making. Keldon and zach collins are posts on the offensive end.
@@coreyroberts47 it's simply so that he improves as a playmaker. Even just slightly. That's the best way to contribute on offense when you're not an elite shooter. Like draymond.
It says a lot about Rudy G's relationship and level of trust. as well as Wemby. Wemby must have received a great deal of advice and assistance along the way to the NBA to have such a seasoned mentor in Rudy G., who has been a buddy and collaborator for years. Thanks for watching!
Most of spurs past games they were leading big time but could not sustain the lead because coach pops allowed wemby to enter the 4th quarter wd 5- 6 minutes remaining.they should give more time to wemby since he is still young😅
Haha, that's a fun and creative way to think about it! It's as if the higher power was experimenting and decided to take basketball skills to the next level with Kevin Durant.
You should just do a whole series called "Wemby's Firsts" and do an analytical run down of the topic. The first time Victor Wembanyama... Went up against an Internet troll..."
I think you're wrong about the timberwolves offense those shots that ant took specifically the double contrsted three you highlighted is a lot more of Ant playing hero ball with under 3 minutes in 4th than the offense being schemed that way
A lot of your analysis is pretty spot on, but comparing the wolves play with the spurs is a little twisted, not gonna lie. The wolves have multiple All-Star level players, who all are finally settling into their roles with each other, with Ant at the helm. The Spurs really only have Wemby, and some other solid roleplayers who can be very hit or miss at times. Obviously the Spurs are gonna play more team ball: It's a necessity. Without Wemby, tho, that style of play crumbles for the Spurs. I get the Wemby hype train, but this was a little too skewed toward the Spurs IMO. Balance your analysis a but more, and you might be able to grow your channel a bit.
that is not an imitation of luke's or whoever it was. wemby is legitimately trying to block the shot and not just blocking the view of the shooter. in fact he almost block the shot.
