Victor Wembanyama and Julian Champagnie seen spending time with San Antonio kids in the hospital after their Finals loss ❤️

🖤

Okay I’m done rage baiting….thanks to all those who have interacted. Spurs fan all the way. Time to focus on draft, summer ball, and baseball. Have a good one!

Thunder fans and Knicks fan so obsessed with Wemby…still talking about him and thinking about after one team literally won the chip….weird

With Sweeney as the HC of the Magic…the Knicks won’t see past the second round

Chet level hate: unlocked Oompa Loompa crying to daddy ass bitch

So is it okay to call this Oompa Loompa a talented asshole?

Knicks won a championship after 50 years and all everyone is talking about is wemby thats how you know hes the goat

Wrote about the Knicks? You seem a little obsessed with our Alien. So now competitive athletes are assholes? I see you only did high school sports and accepted participation trophies.

If any organization that should be pissed it’s the @dallasmavs…they really got rid of Luka and Brunson….thats the biggest flop for decades to come

That’s why they hadn’t seen a chip in 53 years…NBA was like let’s try again…yup nope…they’re definitely not getting another one

can’t believe I’m forced to defend a fkn Spur but the narratives around Wemby rn are just flat out stupid. the truth should matter. first, the run he just took the Spurs on was awesome. 35pt debut (franchise record), a 40/24 game. 3.5 stocks/gm. 21.6 on/off differential (hilarious) led one of youngest teams ever to the Finals. took down the defending champs. led for 75% of the Finals & blew it - meaning more than anything they controlled their own destiny & capped themselves. this narrative that he’s now a permanently scarred failure who’s legacy is cooked is hilarious. 22 yrs old. He, along w Castle & Harper, will only get better. They’ll absolutely be back. Second & imo most important - in no world is Wemby a ‘dirty’ or immoral player. he had bad moments & lost composure, yeah. but if you think some shoves or elbows somehow makes him this unethical rotten thug of a player - *you* are soft (& delusional) Nothing done by Wemby was anything different than moments we’ve seen from Jokic or Giannis. not even sniffing the depths of Draymond’s greatest hits. the man is an 8ft 150lbs slinky being thrown around by earth’s greatest athletes. a body thrown at him every moment to counter his length (if you’ve played even JV level ball you’d understand). Freedom of movement restricted. a man in your jock every step down the floor. that constant contact builds, frustration simmers, you go to make a basic play like set a screen, you flail, frustration pops, elbows thrown. it happens man it’s the nature of the sport. almost every Wemby flagrant was some run of the mill elbow or shove, called or not called - & fans act like he’s out there drop kicking knee caps or hammer fisting groins (wut). it’s a contact sport man tighten up. I’d actually love for someone to clip together some Wemby footage showing how defenses are guarding him, the amount of contact he deals w on avg plays, how frequent & constant he’s fighting for position. at least give some context to what he’s battling against every time down the floor. and last, his quotes & off court behavior. He’s a bit arrogant, likes to wax poetic & give genuine answers vs canned responses. I personally don’t mind it. I’ll take that vs chatgpt script responses all day. most of the stuff ppl crying about is heavily misquoted or out of context anyway. but what is it ppl want? we ask for confident, “real” Superstars & when we get it we cry that it’s all performative. listen to the full answer, stop letting the one sentence posted out of context in the caption form reality. i’m gonna go throw up now for spending this much effort defending a Spur. but it had to be done. anyway you want to argue it, Wemby has been great for the league. he’s everything these ‘bring back the 90s’ advocates could dream for & if no one wants to defend him, I’ll take a minute to. what he just did these playoffs was genuinely incredible & he deserves the fair credit.

Champagnie is a treasure man (via @KellyIko): “Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie, two of the loudest, most exuberant voices all year, sat in their respective seats, hands resting against their heads while staring into their phones. Others shuffled around, some discussing plans to get back in the gym, some gathering their belongings in silence. De'Aaron Fox, sitting by himself with a towel draped over his shoulders, was greeted by Lindy Waters III, who placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Then, another staff member did the same. Champagnie, who had been in the process of removing his uniform, rose from his stall to offer words of encouragement to the veteran guard. The sharpshooter's uplifting spirit was called on a few moments later as Stephon Castle, with one locker separating them, stood motionless. Champagnie locked eyes with his teammate. ‘I just wanna see you smile, man,’ Champagnie said. ‘That's it.’” #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Just wanted to say that I’m proud of our youngins especially those who faced difficulties this year…to Steph who lost his great grandmother during the playoffs, to Wemby losing his grandmother, and to KJ’s grandpa’s fight with cancer. All this through the season. They fought battles we couldn’t see and still showed up. My heart goes out in thanks to their families for keeping them strong this whole season. 🖤 #SpursFamilia

Three rule changes the NBA should consider in the offseason 1. If you challenge two plays successfully, you are granted successive challenges until you are incorrect (playoffs only) 2. Intentionally fouling a player going for a lob results in FTs 3. Changing the flagrant points standard. It is currently designed to only punish players who make the NBA Finals, which doesn’t make sense

This is why the Knicks are one and done

So many fake narratives out there 🤦🏻 He did praise Jalen Brunson… “I’m going to work even harder (this summer), obviously, to become more resilient. And above all, keep a clear mind, a control over the game at all times. That’s what’s most striking about Jalen Brunson”. Just learn French, read L’Équipe or use Google Translate.

Absolutely hate the Wemby is dirty narrative that was pushed by opposing fans He's a big long guy & the league is still adjusting They tried roughing him up because they can't stop him unless they do that Has every right to fight through it but when he does they dont like it

Damn they don’t even know how to win…I feel bad for the @nyknicks organization. Everyone will forget them winning the chip but everyone will remember the chaos. Taking the spotlight away from player’s accomplishments is wild.

We’re going to be just fine…
