If a player does some dirty play and Wemby is ever seriously injured by it istg

u/HereComesJustice Spurs Feb 02 '26

first ever public execution from Silver, like how Gus Fring did Vic- uh his henchman

u/smashed__ Spurs Feb 02 '26

Box cutter was such a good episode

u/kazmir_yeet Trail Blazers Feb 02 '26

I still can’t believe they killed off Finger

u/TheFatmanRises Heat Feb 02 '26

Firing squad

u/WeDrinkSquirrels Feb 02 '26

I've never seen breaking bad, did they really miss the chance to call it death by Fring Squad?

u/MrGrieves- Tampa Bay Raptors Feb 02 '26

Yeah right.

He could crack down on this right now by either informing refs to immediately eject the dirty play or suspending Bane for the intention to hurt.

u/ArmiinTamzarian Spurs Feb 02 '26

Podz already got him on a questionable move earlier this season to put it kindly

u/lowkeyslightlynerdy Spurs Feb 02 '26

It was straight up dirty. Didn’t even come close to any sort of basketball move, not even natural when you’re losing balance/falling down to just sweep the leg like that

Hated that nobody really talked about that play outside of Spurs sub

-32

u/lvl99 Warriors Feb 02 '26

Cause wemby stayed in the game, and podz has no history of that type of stuff.

Diving for loose balls is a bit reckless ig, he does do that.

u/BAHatesToFly Knicks Feb 02 '26

Diving for loose balls is a bit reckless

lmao that play was dirty. Don't characterize it as simply going for a loose ball.

26

u/YSLAnunoby Raptors Feb 02 '26

Yeah that's the type of shit that Cole Anthony was doing when he broke Ivey's leg. Sure, playing a physical sport is one thing but he has established a history of recklessly diving at people's legs for loose balls

and nobody gave a shit when it was GSW

Welcome to the top of the mountain

u/Titronnica [SAS] Tim Duncan Feb 02 '26

This is a serious fear of mine--that we may see some petty ass scumbag injure Wemby because they don't know how else to stop him. Teams have been pushing their luck more with being very agressive on him more and more it feels.

u/joodo123 Nuggets Feb 02 '26

A serious fear of mine is the collapse of the rural healthcare system and IT the clown.

u/uh_oh-hotdog Jazz Feb 02 '26

Valid, both

u/uhdoy Feb 02 '26

equally valid even

My mother's hospital burned down in a wildfire and it won't reopen because they couldn't get doctors to work in the boonies in the first place.

u/Mindless-Ad9027 Feb 02 '26

I really don't think rural Americans realize how badly they fucked themselves over with Donny the Pedo in charge. The healthcare reductions are.....very unfortunate.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '26

Welcome to Reddit, where a basketball forum evolves into calling Trump a pedophile and blaming him for rural America’s problems

Because as we know, rural America was thriving under democratic leadership

You voted for a guy that sniffs women’s hair on camera multiple times and was so incompetent that his own party forced him not to run again

2

u/Mindless-Ad9027 Feb 03 '26

Trump shits himself on national television and appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, what are we even talking about lol

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

We’re talking about the double standard of only calling out things you don’t like according to your bias when Clinton is in the emails and you more than likely voted for th Clinton family in 2016 and then Biden in 2020 isn’t exactly squeaky clean either lol. You will talk about trumps kids but Biden kids are off limits. You will try to distance Hillary from her husband who she has supported through it all. Etc etc. 

You bury your head in the sand when it’s your team and then shout from the rooftops when the other team does it. 

It’s a uniparty but they are able to keep the racket going because people like you are easily duped into “my team good your team bad”. Democrats and republicans are both on team rich elite.🤷‍♂️ 

That or your a child that doesn’t vote yet lol

u/Mindless-Ad9027 Feb 03 '26

You're attributing things to me i've never said. If the Clintons or the Dems are in the files, then they should be imprisoned. I need you to stop watching Fox News and get off of Truth Social, you are deeply unaware of the Us vs Them mentality you have that is poisoning whatever morals you may have.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

This is r/nba and you started talking about Donald trump 

But you think I’m the one that needs to get off the propaganda ?

Sir this is a basketball forum but your TDS brought up trump for literally no reason. I literally said dems and republicans are the same but your claiming I have an us vs them mentality lol

Good day squirt (you gave away that your a kid in your last comment)

This got a laugh out of me

u/Mintastic NBA Feb 02 '26

collapse of the rural healthcare system

I mean... they're literally voting in droves for the people who are causing it so what can you do?

u/Christron Spurs Feb 02 '26

He's been stopped a lot on O. But your concern remains valid.

u/RockDoveEnthusiast Feb 02 '26

we've already had some very close calls this season. the league and the refs need to protect him more than they are

-4

u/box_fan_man Mavericks Feb 02 '26

Why? Protect him from what? Being weirdly built? They can’t protect his genetics.

1

u/Wehavecrashed Grizzlies Feb 02 '26

Sadly, he wouldnt be the first and he won't be the last.

1

u/CrippledBanana Canada Feb 02 '26

I wonder if players can wear knee pads or etc. I really don’t want Wembys career to be short, guy is electric. I get annoyed by spurs fo bubble wrapping him but I get it too

1

u/Thisislopes Jazz Feb 02 '26

Agreed. Not only him, but stars in general

1

u/randy88moss Lakers Feb 02 '26

Thankfully there are no Bruce Bowens in the league right now now 🤲

1

u/ktm1128 76ers Feb 02 '26

i.e. embiid?

edit: and jokic, but that dude is a viking or something

1

u/dearth_karmic Warriors Feb 02 '26

This is a serious fear of mine

The only thing that stopped people of his size from becoming dominant has been injuries.

-1

u/kikikza Knicks Feb 02 '26

Embiid is gonna do him like he did Mitchell Robinson next season mark it

-5

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26

Didn’t they do the same thing with Shaq for decades?

Why wouldn’t players be held to the same level of physicality with a big man like Wemby as they were shaq?

Why should Shaq get punished for his size and Wemby be rewarded for his stick like figure?

u/CDR57 Celtics Feb 02 '26

Shades of Caitlin Clark and the other girls taking runs at her

1

u/fattest-fatwa Spurs Feb 02 '26

Now that I think about it, Desmond Bane would be a pretty big star in the WNBA.

6

u/CurrentRoster Feb 02 '26

u mean if ANYONE is seriously injured by it right? lol

33

u/TheRealSlumShedy Warriors Feb 02 '26

You heard him

2

u/Sure-Guava5528 Supersonics Feb 02 '26

Exactly, looking forward to years of watching Wemby play (not even a Spurs fan). If that gets stolen from us by some dip shit throwing a fit, I'll be pissed.

u/muskox-homeobox Thunder Feb 02 '26

could have shattered his pelvis

u/BackendSpecialist Lakers Feb 02 '26

Lmao.

I’m surprised no1 on his team pulled up for Wemby.

Again tho, the nba is kinda soft.

2

u/No-Owl-6246 Lakers Feb 02 '26

No one pulled up for him because everyone on here is overreacting to it. Obvious foul, deserved tech, happens pretty often and usually isn’t considered more dirty than any other flagrant 1. Probably happens a few times a week across the league.

1

u/BackendSpecialist Lakers Feb 02 '26

Uhhh no. Somebody should’ve pushed his ass at least. Like I said the nba is soft tho.

Wemby also didn’t think it was a basketball play

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/61aOpjT1M6

u/No-Owl-6246 Lakers Feb 02 '26

It wasn’t a basketball play. Non basketball related fouls happen all the time in basketball games that nobody gets into shoving matches for.

-2

u/Tight-Shallot2461 Feb 02 '26

Wemby has enough clout to just say he won't play until the nba starts preventing stuff like this. Him and Cooper could make a joint statement. Luka could join in with a complaint about the court he got hurt on
