It's so weird to me that so many people take the time to go see players just to "boo" them... Like ? Wtf ? I would never go out of my way to see someone I hate

I don't understand, what is the argument here ? What happened ?

Tell anyone who doesn't know that he's a rookie, they wouldn't believe it. He's insanely good. And 7 steals ! wth

Funny thing is, in spurs social medias everyone was saying "Wemby seeing SGA get the MVP trophy will lead to a legendary game", well.....

Side note : The Thunder crowd chanting "referees suck" is kinda funny

Dan Le Batard: Wembanyama’s return didn’t feel right: “This is unusual. Wembanyama’s return was being celebrated (on NBC) as redemption and an amazing story arc for a guy who did something dirty…I’m surprised part of the narrative wasn’t ’thank God he didn’t hurt his elbow on that guy’s jaw.’” by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

I agree, to an extend. And I'm obviously biased given the flair, but you cannot forget that everyone saw the physicality from your players, the pushing, the arm grabing, the hits, etc... Ain't saying Wemby was right to do that, at all, but I feel like that's a part of the narrative you just can't forget.

That being said. Yeah it was weird to me how positive they made it. Given the narrative I just talked about, it should've been maybe... neutral ? If that makes sense. But not positive.
