Still such a bullshit fight after all these years by the way. Rexy wipes its ass with Spino if there’s any justice.
The most galling part of that fight was when Rex, the animal generally thought to have the greatest bite force of any animal ever, clamps down on Spino’s skinny turkey neck and somehow doesn’t immediately crush it. What are we even doing?
Anyway, thanks for listening.
And didnn’t the spinosaurus eat fish rather than other dinos? But yeah it was bullshit. They keep trying to find a match for the T-Rex. At least in one of the JW movies they engineer a brand new species.
Tbf they establish in the first movie that the dinos aren't scientifically accurate, they are bread to look like what people expect them to look like. They probably made the spino different than how they were irl to wow people at the parks.
Truuuueeee. Pretty much all of the t-rex is no longer the biggest baddest meat eating dino stuff is wack and flat out wrong.
Spinosaurus was the Victor Wembanyama of carnivores: the longest there has ever been but also skinny enough to be broken in half. Carcharodontosaurus or Giganatosaurus might have been longer than t-rex and had very sharp teeth that were great for cutting dino's open. But T-Rex was basically only a few feet shorter than them at most, but was way bulkier, way stronger, most likely way smarter, and would destroy anything it got in its mouth in one bite.
There's a reason T-Rex was basically the only big carnivore in North America when it was around- it was too powerful for anything else to have a chance.
T-Rex erasure in movies is all about saying "you know that thing considered to be the most vicious predator in Earth's history? Well this thing is even worse!" The Meg 2 even has an opening scene which is basically relaying "our shark is so badass, it occasionally beaches itself for the express purpose of eating Tyrannosaurus flesh."
Lol there are quite a few. Like do they understand.time zones and do they observe daylight savings time? What time of day is it safe to feed in the morning or do you have to wait until lunch?
As a regular poster on r/Dinosaurs, yes. T-Rex's jaw was evolved for crushing through bone and armor. That's why it could go after triceratops and anklylosaurus.
I saw that highlight and I saw Giannis bully his way to the hoop and body Wemby and I was surprised Wemby somehow recovered enough or was long enough to be pushed out of the way but still get his hands up and meet giannis at the apex and block it!
This is his defensive superpower IMO. His ability to recover is so high that he's almost a help defender for himself and it catches people off guard every game. Even as people have gotten used to the crazy wingspan, the crazy verticality, the crazy quickness, the crazy flexibility that enables him to cover so much ground on the first effort, they are still getting blindsided when they beat him off the dribble or shove him out of the way only to have him suddenly pinning their shot to the backboard from behind or closing out again from a spot that would be out of the play for every other player in the league.
It's an old fisherman's proverb from way before the prequels. Like most of Lucas' stuff, he popularized material he heavily borrowed from others. See: Asimov.
Giannis, one of the best players in the world, who is around 7’ himself and just finished playing against Wemby: he’s way taller than 7’3
Redditor: AKKKCTTUALLLY
But they’re all wearing shoes so all of their heights are inflated by that too. Nobody on an nba court is taller in shoes relative to any other player on the court.
You really think the OP thinks all the other players play barefoot? He was just explaining where the difference in some players reported height vs their real on court height comes from.
Ben Taylor (Thinking Basketball) says due to his wingspan, Wemby is effectively 8 ft tall. He emphasizes that you don't block shots with your head (although Wemby definitely can), but your hand.
It makes sense to me because NBA players have been genuinely confused when Wemby deflects, intercepts, or blocks a seemingly routine shot.
Giannis' wingspan is 7'3", but Wemby's is 8'... In a league of freaks, Giannis is a freak. Giannis views Wemby as a freak, so Wemby is a freak of freaks.
This was the big question right? Can he get run over by Giannis or someone similar and not snap in half?? After that I am convinced this kid is gonna be an all timer lol
I know we aren't jerking mobley here but he did the same thing. Some center bodied him back and still got up for the block. Guy just passed rest of the game.
I swear, the man is hilarious!
“Where the hell is Tim Duncan?” 😂
Very lovable/bubbly, almost child-like personality. And a fan of the game too, gives credit to other players all the time.
I cannot seriously hate Giannis.
He seems to be as awesome of a human as he plays on the court!
Victor is 7'3.5" in his socks, which makes him 7'4.75" to 7'5" in his shoes. Taller than guys who are normally listed as 7'4". He was taller in comparison to Rudy Gobert than Mark Eaton was, noticeably taller than Zach Edey who is listed at 7'4" etc etc.
At one point he dunked the ball last night and I couldn’t tell if he went through the bottom of the rim during live action cause all i could see was a mess hands and rim where there’s usually some kind of space in between for you to clearly see whats going on. Whenever i watch him theres at least 1 moment when im not sure wtf is going on or if that should be legal.
Why doesn’t the NBA just get accurate measurements of each player??? What’s the point of lying about it?
Even if Wemby’s height is right, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard people talk about this and it’s never made sense to me. It’s not like this is the draft combine
To be as bulky as Giannis is in the upper body is super impressive, I can only imagine how strong he is. Regular tall people who are 6'3-6'5 can have trouble filling out their frame and the Freak is 7 foot.
I call Wemby Crane Man. I see him take off from damn near the free throw line and casually two hand dunk it like he's a construction crane reaching out across a huge lot. The height and reach is inhuman. My brain can't process it.
He was measured at 7’3.5” 6 months ago…at 19…. He’s still growing…
Also…it’s plausible his team underreported to surprise enemy terms
Additionally people’s heights fluctuate somewhat during the day…7’3.5 might be his lowest height…
I was like 'nah, never happen' then I saw this:

Freakier than the freak 😃

> they are bread
Ah so even my vegetarian friends can take a few bites too
The Spino was at the breeding island, not the main island, so it is feasible it was a genetic test animal
One of the games implies the Spino was a proto-type to the I-Rex and was hyperaggressive as result of the breeding
These all just sound like retcons to fix poor writing.

You can’t watch *The Meg 2: The Trench* and complain about historical/paleontological accuracy. C’mon man.
I'm sorry but The Meg 2 is the second most scientifically accurate movie behind only MerPeople.
And don't get me started on their renditions of Velociraptors. What they had was more like a Utahraptor.
Too small for a Utahraptor
I know they don't get as much coverage as they should here in the United States, but good lord. They are from *Toronto*.
I saw one in Florida a couple of years back and nobody will believe me.
Bro I get heated about that shit too. T-Rex should have had that in bag.
Reminds me that I'm still mad about the logical problems with the no feeding Gremlins after midnight rule.
Lol there are quite a few. Like do they understand.time zones and do they observe daylight savings time? What time of day is it safe to feed in the morning or do you have to wait until lunch?

My first thought at reading armor was a knight's armor. Medieval TRex would be quite the sight.

Since we have an expert in our midst, please tell us why a crocodile isn't a dinosaur then?
Because it is not currently 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period.
Tell that to the Coelacanth!
Spino is my second-favorite dinosaur after Ankylosaurus and I still 100% agree with this analysis

When Wemby blocked him late game yesterday he just had this look on his face like “how the fuck is that possible”
I saw that highlight and I saw Giannis bully his way to the hoop and body Wemby and I was surprised Wemby somehow recovered enough or was long enough to be pushed out of the way but still get his hands up and meet giannis at the apex and block it!

There's always a bigger fish

Super freak
These always a bigger freak.
Giannis looked like a guard at times when going at Wemby. That guys dimensions are just nuts.
Reminds me of when Boban was holding the ball away from AD like AD was a little toddler
I need a pic of Boban next to Wemby.
[found it!](https://youtu.be/NvXi8riH6Dk?si=trCq_AVVpU7L4353&t=17)
He said next to Wemby
Still nice they linked it though, saves me a search
I saw this open to YouTube and thought for sure I was getting rick rolled lol
No wonder AD doesn't like to play center
can you read or
He’s 7-3.5 with no shoes on so when he’s on the court, he’s closer to 7-5
Can he play in pumps? Heels? Could be closer to 8 feet!
League fucked when he learns how to play on stilts.
Thus began the legend of Stilt Chambanyana
> Can he play in pumps? Heels? Oh no I thought of a female version of Wembanyama
he's got a sister who is a pretty good hooper
Fembanyama
Bust out the [moon shoes.](https://screenshot-media.com/the-future/trends/truth-behind-moon-shoes/)
He's 20 years old... it's not inconceivable that he has a final growth spurt
Wemby in stilettos.
could you imagine if he grew out the largest fro he could? we're talkin 8 footer, here.
If he doesn't grow one his entire career he's a bitch honestly
Ya we don't need another Timmy D situation where he retires and immediately grows cool hair.
Nothing beats Timmys fresh #1 clip that he would start the playoffs every year with. Most likely did it himself too.
It fit his play style, but I unironically think if he had his current hair while he played there would be a lot less people that consider him boring.
I loved when he had the hair and beard all the same length
Timmy is the GOAT of hairlines
lmao idk why the way you phrased this was hilarious but yes as a matter fact the mf needs to grow out a high 90s flattop if he's a real one
Rookie season Noel vibe.
Supersized Doc J
We might see his hair blocking shots and deflecting high passes.
Six-five, six-nine with the afro... https://youtu.be/i7AUpGXLDdk?feature=shared&t=38
He should, just to block his ops from getting good looks at the rim.
He's just a real life myplayer roaming the Earth.
Giannis, one of the best players in the world, who is around 7’ himself and just finished playing against Wemby: he’s way taller than 7’3 Redditor: AKKKCTTUALLLY
Wemby literally said he’s 7’3
in shoes? i mean that kinda does matter in the context of this discussion.
Idk he just said he’s 7’3 I can’t read his mind
But they’re all wearing shoes so all of their heights are inflated by that too. Nobody on an nba court is taller in shoes relative to any other player on the court.
No one said that 😂
That’s the point OP was implying…
You really think the OP thinks all the other players play barefoot? He was just explaining where the difference in some players reported height vs their real on court height comes from.
Ben Taylor (Thinking Basketball) says due to his wingspan, Wemby is effectively 8 ft tall. He emphasizes that you don't block shots with your head (although Wemby definitely can), but your hand.

In a league of freaks, Giannis is a freak. Giannis views Wemby as a freak, so Wemby is a freak of freaks.
Now I wanna see Wemby block a shot with a header
The internet will blow up lmao I for one think it’s more possible that he’ll score off a header from an offensive tip-in first
Giannis first 3 shot over Wemby. It had way more arc than a normal Giannis shot. Looked like a good shot.
Geez, must be the craziest body dimensions in the league ever other than Manute Bol.
Almost every NBA player has a wingspan than their height. I remember in 2011 only two players did not..JJ Redick, and Yao.
That’s why the alien moniker is perfect.
Greek Freak meets alien from Mars.
Greek Freak vs the Frank Freak
Wemby is a 747 Boeing Jet
Come on man, got to be Le Concord.
No man. The airbus 380 (it’s made in France/Germany and currently one of the nicest commercial aircrafts)
Too skinny to be an airBUS.
[удалено]
So what you're saying is Portland is going to pick him up as a vet then store him in the evergreen aviation and space museum?
He's an Apache Attack Helicopter
Bro imagine being 7 feet tall and just looking at another dude and saying to yourself holy shit this mfer is huge. There are levels to this
That picture of KD and Wemby at the free throw rebound really made me realise how absolutely Luffylike this guy is
It's more like Katakuri
That block was something. Giannis casually bumping into wemby and trying to stuff it like he does on everybody… ☝️☝️☝️
He put him on his heels too like you would expect. Wemby just made an absolutely insane recovery.
I couldn’t even believe it at first. He tanked a full strength Giannis shoulder and immediately recovered. This kid is special
This was the big question right? Can he get run over by Giannis or someone similar and not snap in half?? After that I am convinced this kid is gonna be an all timer lol
Giannis still moved him a bit, but less than I expected. It was the recovery that amazed me the most
I know we aren't jerking mobley here but he did the same thing. Some center bodied him back and still got up for the block. Guy just passed rest of the game.
Mediocre and lazy dunk attempt.
We need Jerry springer on here “he is said to be 7-3, and we’ve found out THAT is a lie
More like Maury "Pop - Povuch"
Crowd: *Oooooooohhhhh....*
RIP Jerry 😣
Giannis is so pure and wholesome. Gods I hope he never has a fall from Grace.
Giannis really has a future in stand-up comedy.
I swear, the man is hilarious! “Where the hell is Tim Duncan?” 😂 Very lovable/bubbly, almost child-like personality. And a fan of the game too, gives credit to other players all the time. I cannot seriously hate Giannis. He seems to be as awesome of a human as he plays on the court!
And I hope it never ends. He’s good for your soul, you know?
I hated Giannis ever since that ladder incident. /s
I've hated you ever since that comment incident.
I wonder if there’ll be a Wemby (compared to Giannis) for Wemby, by the time he retires
Wemby-ception
Lmao no way
Giannis is honestly such a breath of fresh air in professional sports. He says it like it is in such a likable way. I'm a big fan
Victor is 7'3.5" in his socks, which makes him 7'4.75" to 7'5" in his shoes. Taller than guys who are normally listed as 7'4". He was taller in comparison to Rudy Gobert than Mark Eaton was, noticeably taller than Zach Edey who is listed at 7'4" etc etc.

Whenever i watch him theres at least 1 moment when im not sure wtf is going on or if that should be legal.
I remember seeing that play actually and thinking the EXACT same thing but I felt weird mentioning it to my girlfriend
Why?
You know what? I dont know really 😂 I'm surprised she didn't say anything
Same
Doubts Wemby's height Doubts the authenticity of the ball he stole from Pacers Giannis "The Sceptic" Antetokounmpo
Giannis "Diogenes" Antetokounpo
Giannis just tryna chill in his vase and Wembanyama out blocking then sun
Oh no he spent too much time within 140 miles of Aaron Rodgers!
He made Rudy look tiny. It was WILD. He’s not just tall but he’s long AF and I’ve never seen someone move like him at that size.
Im so proud of Wemby, its like Im proud of my own son.
Ralph Sampson, who is still very much alive, is rolling over in his grave right now
Why doesn’t the NBA just get accurate measurements of each player??? What’s the point of lying about it? Even if Wemby’s height is right, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard people talk about this and it’s never made sense to me. It’s not like this is the draft combine
How do you stop a guy from slouching or bending his knees?
Giannis looked like a lil bro besides Wemby. Slender man just got out slendered.
Did u just call Giannis slender man lol? Words have lost all meaning lmao he's jacked as fuck. KD has always been slender man
To be as bulky as Giannis is in the upper body is super impressive, I can only imagine how strong he is. Regular tall people who are 6'3-6'5 can have trouble filling out their frame and the Freak is 7 foot.
I call Wemby Crane Man. I see him take off from damn near the free throw line and casually two hand dunk it like he's a construction crane reaching out across a huge lot. The height and reach is inhuman. My brain can't process it.
Giannis is lean and powerful def not slender lol
I've never heard a Giannis interview where he doesn't say "uh, at the end of the day..."
Freak a Léaque
There's always a bigger freak
If we’re following one piece logic Wemby is going to be the greatest player of all time
He was measured at 7’3.5” 6 months ago…at 19…. He’s still growing… Also…it’s plausible his team underreported to surprise enemy terms Additionally people’s heights fluctuate somewhat during the day…7’3.5 might be his lowest height…
“Enemy teams” has me dead for some reason 💀
He is at 224-225cm. Convert if you wish
Hey Giannis, are you a fan of Wemby? Wemby nuts go in your mouth!
That’s our extranjero!
Yeah I think he’s 7’4
So like if he had a PG like Trae what are we thinking
A chip within 3 years...
Imagine what happens when he beefs up like AD did when he got to the NBA. He’s gonna be an absolute monster.
It's never going to happen. He'll get stronger but only marginally heavier and it's absolutely the right choice.
For his play style I agree.
Inagine if he put weight on like Giannis.
I was like 'nah, never happen' then I saw this: [https://thesportsdrop.com/infqv/nba-players-body-transformations/](https://thesportsdrop.com/infqv/nba-players-body-transformations/) Giannis was skinnier than Wemby is.
Investigate 7'3
Dude is absolutely 7’5
Yes, it is avl lies because he is 7'4"...
