If anyone is curious about how insane this cat is - let me share with you my experience watching the game last night. 

I'm tuned in the entire 2H. Just enjoying the ball. Announcers are calling it, Chris Paul is having a nice game, the Spurs come back out of haltime and string together a lot of nice play.

Everyone's just watching a little early-season NBA action while we try and figure this Spurs team out. 

Decently into the 4Q (maybe 9 mins left), either the color or pbp guy starts listing Wemby's #s and goes (totally nonplussed): "Wemby tonight with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals."

And I swear to God everyone collectively watching at home and the announcers themselves - after a few second pause - think "Wait he's a fucking steal away from a fucking 5*5?"

I mean - I'm a ball nerd. I check the box during the game. I'm statistically more than familiar with basically every decade of the league as a whole since the 70s - and it even took me by surprise. 

It just looked like this mfer was having a nice night and then 3 possessions later he gets another swipe and picks up the most casual 5*5 you will ever see.

And this is following Wemby posting a horrendous, career-worst 6 points the night before. 

He's absolutely insane.

They should call him pizza (or sex).

Even when he's bad, he's good.

Lord that vert...

Also - Durant's influence on the game is seriously underrated and not talked about. Everyone always gives Curry flowers for "changing basketball" or whatever (and I agree that he was extremely influential) but Durant did the exact same thing for big men. He showed these kids that you can handle the rock and hit from 3 at that size if you are talented enough/work hard.

I hate Kevin Hart, but Wemby comes off incredibly mature and intelligent in this. Two weeks with his strength coach training with Shoalin Monks?  On top of one-on-one training with Hakeem?? The league is on fucking notice.
