The Battle of the Slenderman: Chet Holmgren Will Dominate Victor Wembanyama

 

The Battle of the Slenderman: Chet Holmgren Will Dominate Victor Wembanyama



Chet Holmgren made his return to basketball after nearly a year away due to injury, helping the OKC Thunder defeat the Utah Jazz 95-85 in their Summer League opener on Monday. In 29 minutes of play, Holmgren showed flashes of his potential with 15 points on 45% shooting, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Veteran Jalen Williams led the way for OKC with 21 points and 4 rebounds, while Tre Mann chipped in 20 points and 4 three-pointers.

The Thunder built a lead as large as 27 points in the third quarter before the Jazz rallied in the fourth to cut the deficit to single digits. OKC scored 43 points in a dominant second quarter fueled by Williams, Mann and Holmgren, who scored 8 of his points in the period after missing his first 3 shots. Though the performance was solid for his return, Holmgren heard some "overrated" chants from the Utah crowd during his free throw attempts late in the fourth quarter.

Chet Holmgren vs Victor Wembanyama


Holmgren, who injured his foot in the last offseason and has never played an NBA regular season game yet, will get a chance to play in the NBA regular season and would be squaring off against Victor Wembanyama. Both players are comparable in size — skinny, seven-footers with ball-handling skills. The last time they faced each otherwas at the 2021 FIBA U19 CHAMPIONSHIP! withUSA vs France. France's squad led by 7'3" Victor Wembanyama. The17-year-old representing France came outballing in an attempt to carry his team to the gold medal. With a few minutes left in the game Victor fouled out with 22 points, 8 rebounds,& 8 assists, which is when team USA began their last minute comeback! The ending was insane so you have to watch it for yourself! Team USA with Chet Holmgren wonthat game.

While Wembanyama may be more mobile than Holmgren, Holmgren can be a defensive force. His four blocks in his Summer League debut show glimpses of the rim protection he could provide for the Thunder.Once the NBA season begins, fans will get tosee Holmgren and Wembanyamamatch up as two of the most intriguing young talents in the league, ushering in a new era of "unicorns".




Tre Mann’s Poster Dunk


One could argue that Tre Mann has an early claim to the title of "best dunk of the Summer League" following his vicious second-quarter slam against the Jazz. Mann's thunderous posterization of Micah Potter left no doubt that he came to play, sending an emphatic message with his athleticism and explosiveness. The jaw-dropping dunk was nothing short of brute force, leaving spectators and viewers stunned by Mann's ferocity above the rim. It may still be early, but Mann has surely set the bar high for dunks we may see the rest of the Summer League campaign.

Mann launched from the left side of the paint, cocked his right arm and put the hammer down. Right over Potter’s head.

Beantown Blowout: Celtics and Lakers Face Double Elimination As Nuggets and Heat Aim For Rare NBA Feat

Lebron James vs Jason Tatum

 

The storied rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers is in danger of a humiliating conclusion - with both teams facing epic sweeps in the NBA conference finals.  

The Denver Nuggets have torched the Lakers in three straight games behind brilliant performances from two-man wrecking crew Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have dismantled the Celtics in every aspect of the game, leaving Boston staring at impossible odds to comeback from a 3-0 deficit.   

LeBron James and Anthony Davis have looked helpless against Jokic's dominant inside play and Murray's scoring explosions. The Nuggets are now aiming for the unprecedented feat of overcoming a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series, a hurdle even NBA legends like Michael Jordan never cleared.

In the East, Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been shut down by Miami's suffocating defense and timely shooting. Rookie head coach Joe Mazzulla is being schooled on the sideline by savvy Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. With one more win, the Heat can achieve the rare feat of sweeping two historic NBA  franchises in the same playoffs - a humiliating bilateral brooming that will go down in league lore.

Unless  either the Lakers or Celtics can cook up a miracle comeback for the ages, basketball fans could soon witness a double sweep for the ages - with the Nuggets and Heat aiming for a place in NBA postseason history at the expense of two all-time great organizations.

A Photo Emerges: Stephen Curry and Lebron James in a Lip Lock

Stephen Curry and Lebron James kissing

Why are the NBA's most bubbly superstars kissing in this photo gone viral?

Questions emerged as quickly as the photo spread across social media platforms. How did paparazzi catch these rivals in such an intimate embrace? Are Stephen Curry and Lebron James dating in secret? Have they been playing on the same team all along?

The answers are as shocking as the photo itself - it's completely fake. An image editing master apparently had too much time on their hands and decided to generate some controversial NBA content. They photo-bombed celebrity headshots and created the illusion that the two players were passionately kissing on the court.

Within hours of being posted on social media, the photo had been shared over 9,000 times. Quite surprisingly, not one person questioned how suspiciously perfect and posed the kiss appeared.

The fake photo will live on as a twisted memento of when the NBA's star duo became an item, if only for a day. But fans can rest assured that the real Curry and James remain focused on their rivalry from the hardwood, not tangled up in each other's arms.

The Truth Shall Set You Free: This Photo was Too Good to Be True
