ESI: How unique of a player is Wemby? Dominique Wilkins: “To be 7-foot-3 and to handle the basketball, shoot the 3, get to the basket, he’s a once-in-a-lifetime type of talent. But I’ll tell you who he is in today’s game: he’s Ralph Sampson. Ralph Sampson had all those same skills, but he wasn’t permitted to take 3s. Coaches weren’t allowing the big guys to take 3s back then. Ralph could shoot with range, run the floor, post up, block shots, do it all until his knees went bad. That’s who Wemby is, Ralph Sampson.” -via Esports Insider / June 2, 2025

Stacey King on Bill Cartwright: Bill’s the older statesman. He’s the eldest player on this team, okay? And he’s seen Michael berate guys, you know, and so here he is now being berated by a young Michael Jordan. So he’s walking off to side, he’s yelling at him, screaming at, “Catch the damn ball. I’m not gonna throw you a ball again.” So, and then it got a little bit more intense and then finally Bill just snapped and he says, “Hey, let me tell you something. You ever talk to me like that again, I’m gonna rip your damn head off. No one talks to me like that. You’ll never talk.” And then Michael’s face like you thought he saw a ghost because he did not expect that reaction from Bill because Bill is such a mild-mannered guy. -via YouTube / June 1, 2025
