First Career Block

[u/mcgrady56r]

Mara's first career block comes on a Wembanyama alley-oops attempt. Hollywood storyline.

[u/SillySir9447]

Hang it in the Louvre

[u/ANukeFanatic → u/SillySir9447]

What’s the Spanish version of the Louvre?

[u/BrotherSeamus → u/ANukeFanatic]

El Louvero

[u/rjlr6430 → u/BrotherSeamus]

this made me laugh harder than it should

[u/theycallmeJTMoney → u/BrotherSeamus]

10/10.

[u/lemanruss4579 → u/ANukeFanatic]

The Prado.

[u/LucioVX → u/ANukeFanatic]

El Prado.

[u/Hoovnasty22 → u/SillySir9447]

heh

[u/Ehilaire → u/SillySir9447]

Yes. Too bad It’s closed due to the riots

[u/thumbdrip → u/Ehilaire]

Vacation Ruined by revolution.

[u/Cool-Cardiologist12 → u/thumbdrip]

Idk I think they lost the plot over there. Folks just rioting and don’t even know what the protest is about.

[u/CashmereLogan → u/Cool-Cardiologist12]

Yeah that’s definitely not true

[u/KartFacedThaoDien]

This needs to be made into a damn shirt. 

[u/mcgrady56r → u/KartFacedThaoDien]

I already ordered a big canvas print of it. Going to be hanging in my living room next to the tv for at least the rest of this season. Onen of my favorite Thunder moments, Wemby being blocked by our new Rookie at home during one of his worst career games. 0-1

[u/KartFacedThaoDien → u/mcgrady56r]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/YouAreMyGirl → u/KartFacedThaoDien]

I’ll buy 2!!!

[u/thumbdrip → u/KartFacedThaoDien]

This will be in a 2032 scientific "text book" about gut biome.

[u/streetking03]

Did anyone else see Wemby talking to himself after that block!?

[u/Dresden1984 → u/streetking03]

The man was visibly upset that a rookie of all people stuffed him like he was a child

[u/NotoriousHothead37 → u/Dresden1984]

This is the first time in his career that he has to stare at somebody right in the eye on offense. He thought Mara is easy pickings 🤣

[u/How2FlyHow2Crow → u/streetking03]

Yes! He gets so bothered.

[u/suited65 → u/streetking03]

Did you see him muttering to himself while SGA was shooting a freethrow? It was late in the 4th

[u/Hesparian → u/suited65]

Dude was casting a spell, i seent it

[u/BelieveinTheCityOKC → u/Hesparian]

Shit maybe he did 👀😔😞

[u/comment_redacted → u/suited65]

Wasn’t Mara standing right next to him? I was trying to decide if he was muttering to himself or if he was doing some low key trash talking.

[u/504090 → u/streetking03]

I genuinely wonder if he saw the Wemby Stopper talk in the offseason and has a grudge against Mara too lmfao

[u/chimchimchow]

Love to see it, also my hatred for Wemby grows by the minute

[u/KnowledgeUseful6731]

Mara has more field goals made than the “best player in the world”

[u/Commercial-Bike-4461]

And the alley oop finish on the other end!

[u/TomCruisesDad → u/Commercial-Bike-4461]

Coast to coast like butter on French toast.

[u/No_Dependent2297 → u/TomCruisesDad]

Man, Michael cage would’ve lost his mind on that sequence

[u/BeraldTheGreat → u/No_Dependent2297]

That was better than me at church league on a SATURDAY!

[u/Melodicmarc → u/Commercial-Bike-4461]

Which was open because wemby was late getting back due to the block

[u/The_Gildo]

First if many, Mara is gonna be an issue

[u/earlyeggs1]

yeah once mara gets his bearings he’s gonna be a huge problem for the league

[u/assmanx2x2]

He's not scared

[u/Ainzburg]

Send this to the people who was slandering him during summer league

[u/RiceAyKanin]

Demon after Demon

[u/Numerous-Criticism51]

I loved the pick of this kid, i didnt get all the bitching about it by fans and then Summer League happened and ngl, it worried me, not a ton but he just looked like a big stiff out there but clearly the kid worked his ass off between then and preseason because its night and Aday (see what i did there?), this kid aint scared of shit

[u/TooBadIWuzLit]

I live in SA rn and hearing all the Spurs fans mock, “yEaH tHeY got tHe WeMbY sToPpEr” and seeing him do this and deafening the crowd was one of the most satisfying feelings I’ve experienced in awhile man

[u/notoneofyall1017]

WEMBY STOPPER

[u/runrbikerswimr]

[u/Fantastic_Boot_9548]

BIG JAMON. THE SPANISH ARMADA.

[u/Armond_White_X]

What a crazy pickup for the Thunder man. Crazy shit

[u/tripryder]

I’m wearing my Mara jersey to sleep tonight.

[u/RiddimRodent]

Many are saying that the Wemby killer allegations are true. 

[u/dutchposer]

The way wembles rolled around on the floor after was A+ comedy. No notes.

[u/Cutmerock]

Derailed all the Spurs momentum. It was amazing. 

[u/Specific_Armadillo35]

How it felt watching this

[u/westleyyys]

Put it on a shirt

[u/Dresden1984]

That has to help boost his confidence. “Look! He can bleed! He’s human too!” 

If Mara believes if he can stop Wemby then he can stop anyone 

[u/Due_Character1233]

That's such a strong block. We are deep.

[u/Winters-34]

Mara could legit be our answer to Wemby based off his performance today. Very very impressed with the rook, what a game to start the season

[u/Ken_Mayonnaise]

Wemby is going to have to wait until to-Mara' to get any  field goals up. Lol

1 out of 13...

[u/Commercial_Lecture20]

Legitimate Wemby stopper

[u/purple_abilene]

all ball

[u/Funny_Restaurant2301]

WITH THE LEFT HAND!

[u/thunderdl]

i may have judged him too early

[u/Shagrrotten]

I love this kid!

[u/Ajthekid5]

He’s adjusted really well to the pros so far. I was worried about his conditioning but Mark and his team seemed to have gotten him on the right track. Looking forward to seeing this team this season.

[u/ZookeepergameTop8538]

First ballot HOFer. At least in Oklahoma anyway. 

[u/Round_Business_9978]

El Coco will haunt Vic dreams forever now lmao

[u/Outrageous_Fun_1386]

This is what happens when you're not taller than everyone by 5 inches 

[u/Dangerous-Pop842]

And then subsequently got an alley oop going the other way

[u/dustbowlsoul2]

Is there like a point on height in basketball where an extra inch or two doesn't matter anymore? I think we found it

[u/dedwards024]

Glad we called that guy.

[u/westzod]

Legit made me clap.... Presti did it again!

[u/Secure_Cricket_6593]

WEMBITCHYAMAAAAAA!

[u/paperbuddha]

We’ve already reached The Rise of Mara part of OKCs story.

[u/king_carrots]

Came straight here, happy to see it as top post

[u/Large-Lack-2933]

We're championship ready guys and gals! Let's go. 🌩🏀🏆

[u/BinaryFingers132]

So glad the refs didn’t fuck up this moment

[u/bandwagonguy83]

It took three years, but Wembanyama finally took his "welcome to the NBA" moment.

[u/SimplySantos10]

Gonna frame this in my garage

[u/LucioVX]

[u/Fit-Pie-6984]

Wemby stopper

[u/Awkward-Growth5948]

Crazy first block to get lol
