the Wemby experience commences tonight

@SanctionII said:
I wonder if Wemby, as he gets older and progresses from a 19-20 year old adolescent (who has not yet fully matured physically) to a 28 year old physically mature adult, will add enough bulk and strength to enable him to overwhelm all opposing players in the paint.

Some players are always rail thin, even at 28-30 years old (i.e. Ralph Sampson, Kevin Durant). As such they can be moved around on the floor by bigger, bulkier players.

Some other players are thin as a teenager or as a 20 year old, but as they grow into adulthood they add bulk and strength (i.e. Moses Malone). As an adult they become hard if not impossible to move around on the floor.

For Wemby, and Holmgren it would be great to see them keep (and improve) their speed, quickness and agility that allows them to play effectively away from the basket on both offense and defense, while at the same time add strength and bulk to their frames (i.e. 40 - 50 pounds) without a loss of their speed, quickness and agility. If that happens and if they develop a solid inside/down low game they will be unstoppable on both offense and defense.

To add 40 - 50 pounds I would think there is no way they would ever be as quick as before. They may get much stronger but I see them getting much slower.

Looks like a large curtain.

tonight Wemby became the 4th player in NBA history to finish a game with at least 30 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks

he went for 33, 16, 7 & 7

joined Kareem, Barkley and Embiid

We might see that quadruple double from him real soon.

Not my card but this is the new Panini insert craze just recently releasing...Prizmania. Its like Panini said hey let's make cards with NBA players on them that look like Funko Pops The Wemby's are already selling for over 10K.
Vic won't be blocking many shots with those tiny legs. 🤣

That is a great looking 10! Does that have a foil like sheen to it sort of like Prizm or Chrome?

Its a real shame that he won't have any other brands of licensed rookie cards in a Spurs jersey other than Panini. I'd love to see what a Finest or Topps Chrome rc would look like or even Upper Deck with an SP Authentic or even Fleer or Ultra. There used to be such a great assortment of different brands to choose from.

hey bud, sorry i missed this. and thanks, i really like the look of this one. and yes, it it prizmy/chromy/refractorish

he had a mammoth game two nights ago

I didn't watch it but that must have been a great game live where Brunson drops 61 and Wemby scores a career high in his first 40-20 game. With no C's tonight and an early GS/SA start at 7, I'm in.

This Dynasty 1/1 Wemby rookie was pulled in a break recently and he added some amusing inscriptions with his auto.

There's already grumbling that that was just another instance where some well known breaker manages to pull the premier card in a certain product.
I had no idea that Dynasty was a Topps product and after a little digging came across this ebay listing for a VW Topps Now auto. https://tinyurl.com/yzwpr592 its like Topps added all of that random stuff (cactus/flag/eiffel tower) this time instead of Wemby.

There's an article on the Athletic about him building a strong case for winning DPOY and I'm in agreement. His defense hasn't resulted in a high win total like it has for Rudy Gobert but thats mainly due to SA's lack of real talent around him. At the time the article was written, he was leading the league w/3.4blocks per game to go along with 1.2 steals and even someone with the smallest assemblage of BBIQ could see that most offense want no part of trying to score in the paint when he's on the floor. It kind of reminds me of Deion Sanders or Darrelle Revis back in their heyday when QBs wouldn't even bother throwing in their direction and tried beating you in some other way.

Its going to be interesting to see what he looks like when the team puts better talent around him especially on the defensive end.

I tuned in late to the Wemby-Joker matchup last night and Vic just missed out on his first quadruple double finishing just 1 block & 2 assists short. He had two great blocks in a tie game in that last 2-ish minutes including one on Joker at the rim, it would have been great to see it go into OT.

@galaxy27 Hey I don't know if you caught this yet but apparently there are probably thousands of fake raw Prizm Wemby rookies hitting the market and a bunch just got seized by US border patrol recently. Supposedly they're coming from China.
Just be careful if you ever go that route. (No,not sneaking across the border 😎)

Topps recently posted on IG a sneak peek at Wemby's upcoming Topps Chrome Superfractor (I'm assuming that's his SF.)
Its unlicensed but I prefer the overall look to this TC card better than his Panini Prizm rookie.

Looks like his National Treasures 1/1 Logoman just got pulled in a break. Its a shame that it wasn't auto'd, I'm guessing that it must be a licensing issue.

wemby thread, you've been neglected

i promise it won't happen again

latest get

That one would look awesome with his auto signed with a fine tipped gold marker.

Topps Chrome recently released a preview of their first product since acquiring the NBA license and looks like Wemby has some pretty cool inserts and on-card autos coming soon.

those are sweet!

btw if anyone reading this has tips on scanning cards with refractive properties, i'm all eyes. i have an Epson V600 that i love, but for the life of me i couldn't create an image for that playoff ticket card that matches its true appearance. it looks NOTHING like that in hand. the dark blue perimeter is actually silver and refracts

lid up, lid down, lights on, lights off, tinkering with settings, scanning it with clothes on, scanning it in my birthday suit..........nothing has worked, so i said eff it

I was always an iPhone and card on a stand for my pics. For refractor-ish/foil-ish type of cards, I’d setup two small reading lamps that each had a different type of bulb and just took 5-10 pics from different angles till I found a few I was happy with.

MJ had so many different colorful 90’s inserts and sometimes you had to play around with the angles before finding a pic or two that brought out the beauty in these cards.

Galaxy… looks like you buy up Wemby cards like I buy up Bobby Witt jr. cards.
I think we’re both going to be happy with our purchases in the long run.
And even if we don’t make money on their cards we’ll both have a lot of fun watching them play. 🍺
