He won a silver medal for his country in the Olympics. He would have been DPOY and All-NBA again this season if not for the 65 game rule which is newly instituted. He had an unfortunate health issue that robbed him of the second half of his sophomore season. Not to mention we're talking about a singles tennis player who has been pro since age 15 versus a team basketball player who is barely in his second season in the NBA. Cut the kid some slack
Wemby has no business being in this discussion. Defending him at the present time makes you and others look silly. Do you watch tennis at all?

Wemby didn't play enough games to be All NBA or DPOY. The media didn't decide it. Blame Silver and the NBA.

No I don't watch tennis. And I never said anything about him belonging in the discussion. Just responded to someone saying Wemby should have achieved more by now which is silly given they are completely different sports. And the media comment was about his rookie season. Learn to read bud
Yet, you feel like he needed to be crowned all of that his rookie season. Okay!

Haven't even heard of the other two, but I really hope Wembanyama's career doesn't end early which I always viewed as a concern for him at his height, he is fun to watch
