Lou Williams, a Los Angeles Clippers legend and three-time Sixth Man of the Year, knows a thing or two about earning respect in the NBA.

So when he calls someone out, people listen. During a recent episode of FanDuel TV’s Run it Back, Williams didn’t hold back while discussing San Antonio Spurs supertstar Victor Wembanyama’s performance against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

“I’m old school, Wemby gets no props from me today with all that flopping last night,” Williams said, referring to Wembanyama’s physical battles in South Philly. “You caused all that commotion down there in South Philly, you ain’t get no props. Hey man, welcome to the NBA, I love the fact that he’s doing these things on a defensive end. With that being said, stop flopping. Like, you’re too big, too tall, you’re too dominant for the flopping, too great of a basketball player to cause all this commotion. Get that out your system.”

Williams’ message wasn’t malicious—it was more of an old-school vet giving some tough love to a young star. At just 20 years old, Wembanyama is still finding his footing in the league, and while his talent is undeniable, he’s bound to make some mistakes.

Flopping might be one of them. Still, this feels like a moot point in the long run.

Sure, he’ll have to learn to hold his ground against the NBA’s physicality, but he’s got time—and plenty of it.
