Coach: We've decided that Victor will be our new captain. For his exemplary attitude, for his work ethic, and for the future, for everything that awaits us. So welcome and congratulations Victor.
Wemby: Do you want me to do a speech? Oh yeah? Well, honestly it’s a real honor. I know I’m the youngest here but I fully intend to lead by example. I know you guys are counting on me to get buckets, to get stops, but I also intend to do my best to carry the team. And it’s with great pleasure and a huge honor that I take on this responsibility. Thanks.

Everyone talks about how Wembanyama is 7'4 like thats the most prominent thing about him. 18 players in nba history have been 7'4 or taller, but only 3 players in nba history have had an 8 foot wingspan. The other two being Manute Bol (8'6) and Tacko Fall (8'2). Another thing to note is that a lot of big men of his height actually have negative wingspans (Yao Ming and Shawn Bradley being 7'6 with 7'5 wingspans). This makes it all the more impressive that Wemby's worst free throw shooting season would be Lebron's best free throw shooting season.

I'm in the USA and would like to watch these games. Especially these warmup against Serbia if it'll be Jokic v. Wemby
The goal is to get it signed 🤙🏽
The NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap, according to three people with knowledge of discussions between the two sides in recent days.
Instead, the NBA is focused on whether the team's introduction of Leonard to team sponsors constitutes a violation of the league's rules prohibiting salary cap circumvention, two of the sources said. The league is examining whether the Clippers are guilty of "failure to supervise" employees, though it's unclear what specific rule the team would have violated or what the penalties would be, two of the sources said.
…
Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation said Leonard has maintained to the NBPA, league and Wachtell Lipton that he had no involvement in salary cap circumvention, and so far conversations around potential consequences have centered on him paying restitution for potential improper benefits from the Clippers, such as travel and lodging, for his representative and uncle Dennis Robertson.
If the case goes to arbitration, the arbitrator could compel document production, witness testimony and order discovery. After a hearing, the arbitrator's ruling would be subject to an appeals panel made up of three people jointly appointed by the NBA and NBPA. The appeal panel decision is binding. Only after that process could Silver be authorized to issue any potential punishment.
Mine would be Gervin's touch. Not even sure that it would be the best "superpower" to enhance his skillset but it would be so beautiful to watch a 7'6 fluid giant fingerroll defenses to death. Also could be quite the broken skill for someone as long as him. The range could be ridiculous.
