Hilarious Wembanyama comparison properly disrespects OKC's best players

There's nothing I love more than taking shots at rivals. It's all about competition, so it's nothing malicious, but a good playful jab at the teams you like adds to the experience of sport. If you've ever played one—I'm even talking outside at the park—you should understand what I mean. Things get physical, you sweat on each other, you try to enforce your will to pull out the victory.

It gets the juices going and eventually, somebody says something, so you say something back. Afterward, the game, you dap it up, say "good game," and keep it moving. In professional sports, the stakes are higher, so the rivalries are more intense. That only makes the shots at your rivals funnier.

I don't even believe that the architect of this tweet is a Spurs fan, but it's easy for one to read it and find the humor in it. You know that OKC fans won't feel the same, and that makes it perfect.

They're out of line but they're kinda right about Wembanyama

The funniest part about this is that if there is anything inaccurate about these descriptions, it's calling Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a generational talent. They could have just called SGA an elite scorer or something. "Generational talent" isn't really something you can just bestow upon anyone just because they're a great player.

There are only a few generational talents in the history of the game. Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Victor Wembanyama fall into that category. These players entered the NBA and immediately began to show us things we shouldn't be seeing from players that young. Shai averaged 10 points and three assists in his rookie year. There's nothing generational about that.

Wemby averaged 21 points and almost four blocks per game as a first-year player. That's generational. There's no doubt that he can achieve the scoring prowess that SGA has. There's already a versatility there that OKC's star guard can't reach simply because of Vic's height and ridiculous length.

Chet Holmgren is a good player with the potential to be great. He's very skilled at 7'1" center, but he's no Victor. The Spurs superstar is already better than him, and the gap between the two is only going to increase. As a third option behind Shai and Jalen Williams, Holmgren will always have a stifled game and growth trajectory.

Lu Dort is a phenomenal defensive player, but he can't impact the game on that side like Vic can. Wembanyama can defend every position. He gets his blocks in droves because he can reject layups, dunks, mid-range pull-ups, and three-pointers. He gets steals, and he just outright deters guys from even trying him.

There should be nothing controversial about what was said in this post. But OKC fans are not going to feel that way, and that's okay with me.
