In this informal YouTube reaction, former NBA players Draymond Green and Baron Davis examine a viral photograph showing Green attempting to guard Victor Wembanyama (nicknamed "Wimby"). They dissect the defensive challenges posed by Wembanyama’s 7'5"/7'6" stature, discussing screen angles, positioning, and the difficulty of contesting shots against such a tall, mobile player. The duo praises Wembanyama’s skill set, noting his unique blend of size, handling, and confidence, and reference a personal anecdote about the player signing a jersey for Davis’s son. They also compare the situation to historic tall players like Sean Bradley, rejecting simplistic height‑based comparisons. The conversation then shifts to a segment where Davis lists his current top‑5 NBA players (LaMelo Ball, De'Aaron Fox, Jalen Williams, Jrue Holiday, Chris Paul), offering brief rationale for each pick and highlighting attributes such as playmaking, attitude, and impact. Throughout, the tone remains conversational, enthusiastic, and peppered with banter, while providing concrete basketball‑specific insights.

You live to play another day. And then speaking of living to play another day, I got this picture, man. And I need you to describe, how is it like, what is it like guarding Wimby? You know, that's my son's favorite player, 7'6". Hey, Doc, and to see this picture of the great Draymond Green. This dude, this dude don't even look like he not even paying attention to you.
Hey, it's crazy. He can't even see you, bro. He don't see me. And you know what? I can't say what I was gonna say 'cause there'll be a pause, but I saw this picture. I'm like, yo, the top of my head, that bruh nipple.
I know Tim's about to say.
The top of my head is that bruh nipple. Now I am starting to get in a defensive stance because I can tell you what I'm checking out here on this picture. What I'm looking at is they are getting ready to I'm, he's in the corner and he coming and he get this pin down. Now, so I'm looking because I know this pin down is coming. So I gotta get ready to, I'm trying to see what angle is this guy gonna come set this screen at? Because if I trail him and he get a half a step, he's 7'6", it's over. Like I can't contest the shot. So I'm trying to see what angle I can take to try to throw this screen off. And then also I can't just ride him up over the top like you talk because he's a little frail.
He's nice.
And so if I ride him over the top, and I don't mean frail in a negative way, Wimby is 7'6" to, 30, 2'4"?
Yeah, you can't, like if you push him—
And it's gonna move with his body. If you trail. Right, like if I push him—
If you trail and you late, he ain't, he don't even need a dribble. Exactly.
He just gonna cut to the rim. Right, so I'm looking at it, I'm looking, trying to figure out what angle is this screen about to come from? Because if I ride him over the top and I bump him at all, his arm gonna flail up there.
He gonna fly.
And they gonna call a foul. They was calling it the whole fourth quarter. So I'm looking like, all right, let me navigate this screen. Draymond Green. But then I saw this picture and I'm like, bro, number one, bro looking like he unbothered by me. Don't do that. Now I gotta get at you.
Super unbothered.
Now I gotta get at you with it.
Hey bro.
Now I gotta get at you. But no, honestly, I'm like, bro, look at this. Like my, the top of my head is at my man.
Is at his number. Is at his Spurs jersey.
It does not cross. It's at the bottom of the Spurs logo. I was like, It's crazy. But shout out to Wimby, man. That man, that brother right there, he is going to be so good. He already good, but he gonna be such a problem. But like I said, shout out to Wimby. Wimby last year signed a jersey, his jersey, for my son DJ. So yeah, I appreciate Wimby. I got a lot of love for him. That kid gonna be, he is going to be special.
He is something special. I mean, he, I mean, you don't see nothing. Yeah, like I've never seen anything like Wimby. Handle, shot, and love to play.
Facts.
You know what I mean? He has a certain joy about him, you know, that makes him fun to watch.
100%.
And he wants to be in the big moment. He wants to live in the big moment. And you know, his confidence is through the roof.
Yes, it is.
You know what I mean? Just like this picture says it all. This picture says it all. You got the great Draymond Green intense looking for the screen. And he like, man, just—
Just bring the screen already.
Yeah.
Just bring the screen already. Give me the ball. Nah, yeah, nah, I got— Hey, but I tell you what. So our great producer Charles also found a picture of BD. —versus someone who's 7'6". That's killer.
Sean Bradley. Sean Bradley.
So we got the picture of BD.
Sean Bradley, 7'6".
Did he block this shot?
No way.
People out there, what Charles wanna do is he wanna say BD also played against somebody 7'6". It ain't just y'all who play against somebody 7'6". But I'm here to let you all know, and I think Wimby 7'5". But I'm here to let you all know, it's a big difference. It's a big difference. Like the way Wimby moved, the ground he covered, the love for basketball he had, the skill that Wimby has, it's a difference. So don't do that, Charles. That's bullshit.
Don't do that.
Come on, Charles, don't do that.
You can't compare Sean, bro. You compare him in height, but definitely you can't compare him in game. —Or even defense.
That was as bad as Shaq comparing, and y'all know I love Shaq, my favorite player of all time, that's the big homie, shout out to the OG. Shaq compared Wimby to Bow-Bow, man. Shaq compared Wimby to Bow-Bow.
