The league just needs a new chosen one, period.

It could be Jokic but he’s bland and as talent floods in it’s harder and harder to build dynasties, which the league also needs.

Ant has the personality but no real hardware.

Luka has some hardware but I’m not sure he’s as likable as people want him to be.

There’s a void. They’ll push them all until it becomes clear.

The NBA doesn't need to market the game to Americans because they are fully bought in, to continue to grow the popularity of the league worldwide Wemby is marketable to the young international fans now.

It took far too long for OG to be Wemby’s primary defender. Should’ve started the game like that.

Proof why Bridges should get the same amount of shots as KAT and Brunson?

Why would Wemby be marketable for young "internstional" fans? "International" isn't exactly a group.

That was such an exciting game! So happy that Mikal was able to have a game like this. Dude looked like prime MJ today with those fade away's! And all the bs about his shooting form was proven to be just bs. He's been nailing those corner threes! Scored 15 in the 4th and took over the game at the end. Mikal is a good dude and deserves the love!

I couldn't and still cannot believe Thibs benched KAT the final 6 and a half minutes. It takes a lot of balls to do that but it was the right move cause Precious defended Wemby as well as anyone. I don't even think Wemby scored after that sub was made! OG had some nice defense there too. And Hart with those 2 offensive rebounds putting the nail in the coffin! Screamed so loud when that final buzzer went off!

And I want to thank Tony Brothers for that replay that took away a Wemby 3 when KAT charged into CP3. Tony Brothers has haunted me since the 90s and he did us a solid. That was a super close call and I'm grateful he made the correct call.

Basketball fans and players around the league better hope and pray the Spurs aren't able to get Wemby his sidekick and supporting cast cause this will be HIS league in a few years. He's unfairly gifted with skills and talent. At times it's like a dad playing against his kids.

yup should have been OG on Wemby and KAT on Sochan.

Thibs was forced into this move because of KAT foul trouble so that was a blessing by disguise I guess. But thibs gotta make that move way sooner. Or even to start the game like you said.

All that needs to be said.

Seriously.

Its like thinking we lost the OG trade after watching RJ play way above his established norms in his first 30 game for TOR last year. Or thinking Julius' anomolous shooting numbers to this season meant we got ripped off in the KAT deal.

Yep. The wrongest are always the loudest, and they won’t sign the form. It’s a character flaw.

Sure they are a group...they are non-Americans which Americans have a cultural connection to the league while people outside of America have their own leagues in their own part of the world they might be more apt to connect with. So Wemby is the type of modern style player that they can connect with in a league with increasingly more international players as their some of their best players.

The last international fandom explosion was decades ago with international fans being fans of American players. I'm sure the league would want another explosion and will use international players to do it if they can. I understand you are an international fan looking to get butthurt about something, so don't let me stop you...not that you need my permission to be butthurt about something.

He’s so useful. Long arms, quick feet. I think his touch around the basket will get a little bit better soon too.

I was saying to myself, Towns can average 30 by taking 10 3s a game. However he values efficiency.
