Watching Wemby, I started googling to see who the most recent physical comparable would be.
Bamba is 7’0 with a 7’10" .
Drafted 6th and has done jack shit in 5 seasons. Still just 25 years old but a clear bust.
Did this freak of nature just not have any interest in basketball? Any major injuries? Does seem so. WTF happened to him?
Imagine getting a genetic lottery ticket of being 7’ with a 7’10" wingspan and just decide youy’ll quiet quit your way through your NBA career.
Being tall doesn’t equate to being good.
Giannis has a sibling playing basketball. ON THE BUCKS.
His brother is fucking awful. And would not be in the league if it weren’t for Giannis.
Bamba’s physical attributes got him to the league. Then, it’s about ability (and, every great once in a while, having the best player in the world as your brother.)
