THREE POINTER:
- Bol Bol challenges Victor Wembanyama’s hype in a recent Suns vs. Spurs game.
- Shaquille O’Neal believes Bol could match Wembanyama’s skills but lacks the same drive.
- Despite Spurs’ poor season record, Wembanyama shines as a potential Rookie of the Year.
A Heated Exchange on Court
During a recent face-off between the Suns and the Spurs, 7-foot-3 Bol Bol found himself at odds with 7-foot-4 Rookie of the Year candidate, Victor Wembanyama. Bol was called for a foul on defense, a decision he vehemently disagreed with, accusing the referees of favoring Wembanyama.
“Y’all d–k-riding bro,” Bol said toward the referees, suggesting that Wembanyama was officiated in a favorable manner and adding, “I get it.”
O’Neal Weighs In
Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal has previously mentioned Bol in discussions about Wembanyama, also known as “Wemby”. O’Neal believes that Bol could be just as good as Wemby, if not for his perceived lack of effort.
“Bol Bol can do everything Wemby can do and even a little better,” O’Neal said. “He’s just lazy. So I stand by my statement that Bol Bol was the first seven-foot-five guy to have those skills.”
Rookie of the Year Contender
Despite the Spurs’ dismal season record of 15-56, Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been shining. He’s a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, demonstrating a level of skill and dedication that has caught the eye of critics and fans alike.
In the recent game, Bol matched Wembanyama’s 13-point total off the bench, contributing to the Suns’ 131-106 victory over the Spurs.
Final Thoughts
The heated exchange between Bol and Wembanyama only adds fuel to the fiery competition in the NBA. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these two talented players continue to develop and make their mark in the league.
