This is the most biased, untrue, and worst article I've read on Wiretap. An example of agenda marketing promoted as journalism.

Yeah this is just a wemby apologist essay. He got all the breaks from refs and the league. Could have really hurt Naz Reid more than he did, if that elbow had connected a little differently, like in Reid's temple. Then he gets away with two uncalled flagrants against Brunson. The league was afraid to give him the suspension he deserved.

He's an immature whiner, a poor sport, a dirty player, and very performative in his mannerisms. A little sportsmanship and humility would have gone a long way during and after the Finals
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Social media and stupid casuals who are "stans" of players instead of basketball is to blame. Wemby is an amazing talent, high basketball IQ, competitive, etc. Just appreciate having him in the league. He does everything the right way, which is crazy at his age. Wemby's coach was to blame for a lot of the failures in the Finals. Didn't put him in the best position to score and playmake. Choked worse than the players. I'm just happy Wemby is in the NBA. Must-watch player.

With 14 man rosters, everyone can employ a goon to do the job the refs won’t.Wemby is a dirty player who is gonna take a lot of elbows to the ribcage in the 82 game exhibition season next year.
