Victor Wembanyama Hype Train Thread

KidKards101 · 05-16-2023, 07:37 PM

Surprised there hasn't been a thread created yet on this once in a lifetime generational talent. I guess we shall find out soon!!! Very exciting indeed! He could be the tide that can lift all ships I'm the hobby especially now that we know he will be drafted by the San Antonio Spurs! With Pop coaching, this kid will be well prepared for the NBA! I'm actually happy for him with his new the the Spurs!

Anyways this thread is obviously about Victor to talk about. Let's hear your voices 😆.

People about to tune in and learn… about Keldon Johnson ��

Spurs definitely have all the luck.

Robinson. Duncan. Wembanyama.

Spurs fans about to be broke next season collecting his cards.

pingbling23 · 05-16-2023, 07:42 PM

they said he will be the best offensive and defensive player by year 3. so mvp by year 3 it is.

Hoping spurs get the best lower body doctors money can buy to make sure this guy will hold up cuz he looks like he built out glass and waiting to be broke

Nobody worried that being that tall is a big risk? Players over say 7'2 have a bad track record. Not saying you don't take him. Just don't be surprised if he gets injuries.

Can you see a Wemby vs Chet match-up? Battle of the extra long stick figures.

Funny how all the pundits are saying he's the biggest can't miss since LeBron, as if they weren't all salivating over Zion a few years ago.

Good luck to those who spend big money on him. His frame gives me nightmares as it stands for now.

dizzy4111 · 05-16-2023, 08:29 PM

They got some nice young players. Can easily see the Spurs in the playoffs next year with the way seeding is set up now

Kobefan · 05-16-2023, 08:50 PM

Since when has a center ever been hobby good? I hope folks don't overpay for his cards.

I remembering thinking the same thing about Kevin Durant and was pretty wrong. You never know. As a Houston fan it stinks not getting good top picks in back to back years.

No, KD wasn't even the 1st pick. Nba fans were hoping Oden to be the next Bill Russell.

Wemby is going to be a MASSIVE bust.

I'm not sure if it'll be due to under-performance or injury, but I'd bet the bank on him being a massive bust.

Be careful with your money, folks.

coltsnsox07 · 05-16-2023, 09:18 PM

Dude's bilingual too! Can't wait to see him do an interview with that accent smoking one of those skinny French Gitane cigarettes..

KidKards101 · 05-16-2023, 09:18 PM

This will be a card breakers dream year! Lol.

Health is definitely the most important thing for his career to take off. Wishing the guy all the best!

I'm looking at recent completed auctions on ebay and some guy is making a GD killing selling hundreds of homemade cards that look like Panini and UD designs...
Also, holy hell, the $$ being spent on his SI Kids cards...

Cards and 401K · 05-16-2023, 09:51 PM

Retail boxes will be flying off Target/Walmart shelves. His build reminds of the infamous Maverick: 7'6" Shawn Bradley...

Let's do a signature bet on that then. If you're willing to bet the bank, surely you'd do your blowout sig.
