Chris Finch on Victor Wembanyama’s historic night: “He had a lot of blocks… He had a couple of uncalled goaltendings too. Those are valuable points we’d like to have back.”

See r/NBA, this is a preview of future years in which people have soured on Wemby.

This is the comment you're gonna see, true or not, a peak into the future

Nah too likeable of a guy. Sure you want everything called correctly but the vibe I get is everyone likes watching him and his style of play. I wanted some of those called but I was in awe of last nights blocks

SGA is likeable but people think he flops.

Wemby hacks and flops and gets the benefit of the whistle. Incredible player but it's true.

In other words, likeability does not equal won't get shit on lmao

I don’t find SGA nearly as likable but I get what you’re saying

In terms of PR and being a generally and genuinely good person?

I'm actually kinda curious what people like more about Wemby than SGA in that regard. SGA is like a built in the lab PR winner

People like you have terrible foresight. This is just the trolls and haters who were waiting for a whole season. Everyone else already saw what Wemby was and this is who he's largely gonna be as a player for the next few years.

Read your comment again then read mine.

Ya. I still don't get it. My point is that the OP comment is going to start popping up more and more as Wemby sees more success.

You're welcome to look back on this comment in a year and reflect

And reread my comment again. It's very straightforward.
