00:00He did not.
00:06So he is minus 250 favorite before the season even starts.
00:12I mean, think about that.
00:14Minus 250 before they even play a game.
00:17That's how much they don't want to take a lot of money in on Wemba Nyama.
00:20Well, listen, I thought he should have won it this year, this rookie season.
00:27I don't know what their fascination is with Rudy Gobert's game, but I'm not on it.
00:34I'm not on that trial run.
00:37I don't think he's that great.
00:38I really don't.
00:39And then I saw them fail miserably in the playoffs at the end.
00:46I mean, at the end of the day, what did he do?
00:49What did Cat do in that series?
00:51They got their ass beat is what happened.
00:54And all I know is, I thought that kid every night that he played,
00:58I mean, he played 20, 25 minutes a game.
01:00And he was still, I thought, way better than Gobert blocking shots and
01:05getting rebounds and just watching him do everything.
01:09I think he's already better, way better than Rudy Gobert.
01:12Not only that, what are they on the same Olympic team?
01:16You're gonna see how much better he is in late July in Paris.
01:21You're gonna find out who the best player is on France.
01:25It's him.
01:26Who's the best player defensively in the NBA?
01:28It's him.
01:29He's already that player.
01:30Not only that, I would put him in the conversation right now for
01:36MVP of the league, MVP in a league.
01:40I'd put him in that conversation right now.
01:42All they ever do is talk about Joker and Embiid.
01:47And I'll tell you what, if this kid plays 35 minutes a game,
01:51he's gonna have bigger numbers than those guys.
01:54That's just all there is to it.
01:56He's gonna be unbelievable.
01:58I won't deny the Serbian.
02:01I won't deny what he's done.
02:02I won't deny his triple doubles and his double doubles and
02:07his ability or even his vision, the way he passes is incredible.
02:13But I'm not putting Embiid in there.
02:16I'm sorry, he plays like, he misses a giant chunk in a season every year.
02:22And he gets to the line more than any player in the league, Mike.
02:26I mean, and he's great at shooting free throws.
02:28So it's not that hard to score 30 a night when you get 18 free throws.
02:33Honestly, and you're a seven footer, 300 pounds.
02:36It's not that hard.
02:38Trust me, I'm gonna say the same thing.
02:40I know we're gonna talk about Edie here.
02:42I'll tell you the same thing about him.
02:44The funny story about him is, when you bring this up,
02:47I'll tell you what I read today.
02:48It was hilarious.
02:49It was hilarious.
