Charles Barkley: "Wemby's in shock right now. It's probably been a long time since he got his ass kicked like this... Wemby's spinning... He's 22. He's gonna own the league soon. But right now, big KAT is just taking his ass to the woodshed. Plain and simple." 🏀🎙️#NBAFinals

He’s killing his team. His inexperience is showing. He’s cracking under pressure. MSG will not be kind to him.

It's early, but it's hard not to think Charles is right, the kids just aren't ready for this yet.

I remember Kobe did poorly his first major playoff appearance and then matured. I'm shocked the Spurs even got to the finals this fast.

This stage is too big for Wemby right now! NY's big man is man handling him!

When you attack a person like Wemby it puts him on island that is unfamiliar to him. Kat is owning him right now…

KAT finally getting payback for everyone who hated on him and his undefeated 2014 Kentucky team when they entered the final 4 undefeated. I’m so happy for him, helping get his team to 2-0.

Kat to Wemby

It’s the strategy, placement, play-calling and use of Wembe that is absolutely inexcusable! Why would you ever have Wembe catching the ball anywhere outside the paint? Play calling should be inside out. Or at least 2-man game pick & roll with Wembe sliding to the hoop not falling back. I blame the Spurs coaching staff for horrible use of the 7’4” prodigy!

Wendy won’t “own the league” if he can’t put on 30-40 lbs. He can’t “impose” himself on the heavier bigs in the league.

No shock. When you are 7'4 and play like your Steph Curry, this is what happens. Maybe one day he will realize he's bigger than everyone and dominate in the paint. He should never shoot outside the paint. Mike Brown is doing a master class in coaching too.

Towns had 20pts, Wemby had 29, charles don't even pay attention to the games, he just be talking. The @nyknicks just better coached.

Wemby will be ok..He needs to put on some weight..Spurs will be around for the next 10 years

It’s like what Dirk and the Mavs did to LeBron and the heat

There's no guarantees. This might be wemby's first and last finals. Who knows? He better take advantage of this opportunity and win it. But it's going to be 10x harder now.

At least the refs didn’t call a foul on his final shot flop

Chuck is right.

Shit is sad, MJ getting bitched by Isaiah/Bird or Bron by Celtics/Dirk or Kobe vs Detroit or Steph in 16 finals is way different than wtf is going on rn, getting punked by those all time greats different than fucking Karl Anthony Towns Wemby is so disgraceful i cant believe it

Wemby will get hurt just like all guys his size. Hes Ralph Sampson II

Wemby played like Gumby‼️

Dude needs a diet Coke! No energy face of the league.

Wemby is totally overrated and his coach is totally misusing him. Having him spend the game around the 3 pt line is a joke, but that the way the NBA is now. He’s the next Shawn Bradley.

Wemby not ready to play real men. Can grow 5 more inches still not ready

Shaq got owned by the dream. Wemby will be fine.

I’m afraid Charles is right about Wemby. But remember Lebron got swept his first time in the finals. And Jordan got swept a few times before he won the championship in his 6th year. This is just part of the process for a future goat

Love Wemby’s passion but seems like a kid too excited to be there. Be a little more cool under pressure like Brunson. Wemby misses two open looks and has the key turnover down the stretch. The game is brutal. Make the play, or don’t.

Slow down on the it's Wemby's league bc his conditioning obviously is questionable

Here these old dudes go trashing players. Wemby had 29 pts, 9 red, 4 blks & all we're going to here for the next 2 days is how soft he is & how he blew the game with his horrible play. This shit has to stop, its ruining the game!

Hakeem did the same thing to Shaq in his first finals when he played for Orlando. And we now know how Shaq bounced back from that. Wemby will win multiple championships.

To give Wemby some grace, this isn’t just his first finals, this is his first playoff run period. It’d be different if he was surrounded by vets but it’s a young team with young leaders.

It’s truly awful Losing a game by 1 is not getting “your ass kicked”

It took a while for Jordan and Shaq to pull it all together. Wemby is still new to this.

Foul against KAT was the most egregious.

Wemby panicked..22 yr old choked in Texas..NYC next..

No lies told

It's nothing wrong with what Chuck said


!["[Jalen Brunson] is the clear leader of this team, but KAT, it's his time to shine right now. ... This is a legacy moment for KAT." THE KID MERO 🇩🇴 believes Karl-Anthony Towns has to play like the best big man in the NBA 👀](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2049137231017672868/media/HG__c4bWkAA4CBg.jpg)
