an someone explain the hype over Wemby to me? I mean, I’m not blind — I’ve seen him in action — but I still don’t understand why the vast majority seem to believe he’s going to “end the debate” between Jordan and LeBron. Some people are already saying he’s better than Jordan ever was, and I just don’t see it.

All I see is a very tall player who, at best, will end up like Ralph Sampson. It’s rare to see such a tall, talented player, but I think his career will be cut short. He’s already prone to injuries at a very young age, yet people are acting as if he’s going to play as long as Jordan did.

Furthermore, fans are acting like his basketball IQ is already on Jokic’s level or that his handles surpass Kyrie’s. Some are even saying he’s going to destroy all of Wilt’s stats.

Now, don’t get me wrong — I see the talent. I’m not blind. And he’s likely going to break some insane record in the blocking department. But it’s just the beginning of the season, and the media are already claiming he’s going to take Jordan’s throne?
