I’ve seen a lot of the greatest players ever up close in my time around the NBA. I’ve rarely seen anyone quite like Wemby. The fact that he’s only 118 games into his career and doing this is just mind blowing. He’s making Anthony Davis look like a G Leaguer. Read more on Wemby’s transformation here:

When Jalen Williams first declared for the draft, his agents didn’t know if he would even go high enough to stay in the draft. But 5 minutes into his first workout before the combine, his new trainer, Packie Turner, turned to them and said his college career was done. Turner knew he was a guaranteed lottery pick. “He’s gifted, man.” Only three years later, J Dub is taking over the NBA finals with creative, unstoppable moves. I spoke with Turner to break down how they built these moves and what made Williams a championship caliber playmaker so quickly. Read on The Athletic NBA below 👇👇👇

Victor Wembanyama on the pass to Steph Castle’s back in the final seconds of the Knicks’ NBA Finals Game 2 win: “I threw that one away. I messed up. We needed to win that game. This game was ours.

Julian Champagnie praised Carter Bryant for how he handled being filmed without apparent consent in the bathroom in OKC: “He had to go to the bathroom, he wanted the quickest one. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I think, if anything, we should stop recording people in the bathroom.”

Anthony Edwards: “I mean, everybody in the arena is against us. That’s the best thing about it. You start on the road, everybody got on pink, blue, whatever color shirts there is, chanting ‘Go Spurs Go,’ doing all that and I’m with Minnesota. I got Minnesota’s back at all times. I’m out there with my brothers and we’re going to war.”

Wemby on battling Jokic: “I think it was an amazing game. Very fun. One of the most fun games. I wish we could’ve closed it out. My conclusion of this game is that it was good for us. It’s a real test against a team that’s actually playing for something right now.”

Keldon Johnson had a somber, quiet tone speaking about winning Sixth Man of the Year. It turns out he’s been carrying more on his shoulders than anyone realized. “I was telling my teammates this, and I’ll share a little bit with y’all, but this has been one of the toughest years of my life. My granddad has been fighting cancer, so my parents have been in and out. They haven’t really been here as much and I’m really tight with my parents. Those are my best friends. So not really having them here and going through the season, it’s been tough.”

Victor Wembanyama explains why he said he wants to play “ethical” basketball after beating the Thunder: “In modern basketball, we see a lot of brands of basketball that don't offer much variety in dangers they propose to the opponents. Lots of isolation ball and, sometimes, kind of forced basketball. We try to propose a brand of basketball that can be described as more old school sometimes; the Spurs way as well. So it's tactically more correct basketball, in my opinion.”
