“If He’s Behind You…”: 34YO Denver Forward Shares Hilarious Details on Stopping Victor Wembanyama

In the world of basketball, there are great players called Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo whose size and skills have earned them the name “unicorn”. And joining them this season is Victor Wembanyama. As the number one pick in the 2023 Draft, Wemby’s physical presence and game-changing plays have left fans and even fellow players spellbound.

Following a series of losses, the Spurs found themselves up against the reigning NBA champions. Unfortunately for them, it ended in a loss with 132-120 on the scoreboard. Gregg Popovich’s team initially appeared to have a chance at victory. But the Nuggets prevailed and handed Spurs their fourteenth loss this season. Despite this, Wembanyama’s outstanding performance with 22 points and 11 rebounds certainly made an impact on their opponents, including one particular veteran.

Wembanyama’s Towering Impact

After their match-off, Justin Holiday made some observations about the 19-year-old. In his Altitude TV interview, Holiday cracked a joke about the French sensation’s height, referring to the steals and lobs that made opposing teams look stupid. The 34-year-old shared, “Just that he’s so tall, like the steals. He got one KCP, like I’m wide open, but you’re not as open as you think you are.” Holiday continued. “You have to keep him in front of you because if he’s behind you, he’s just going to just catch it“.

His description vividly depicted the battle against Wembanyama, emphasizing the need to stay ahead of him to avoid becoming a part of his highlight reel. Diving deeper into the game conversation, Holiday humorously remarked on Wemby’s commanding presence on the court, injecting some lightheartedness into the serious world of professional basketball.
