Genuinely love the quiet rivalry they got going on no matter how much they both deny it lmao — likeeee helloooo that tension where they deliberately go after each other on the ice when they really technically don't have to???! It's giving I was this city's golden boy first, Yeah but you're old news and I'm the better and updated modern version of you, The city still chants my name and claims me as their hero, I will build upon the dynasty you let slip away

....

God, I love when story dynamics like this happen in real life. Lowkey though, I would have loved to see Patrick take Connor under his wing 🥺

Connor, stop tripping that old man! He just got a new hip 😤 | det @ chi | nov. 6, 2024

JEREMY SOCHAN & DEVIN VASSELL Mic'd Up | 10/7/23

Every time I tune in to a Spurs or Blackhawks game, I'm honestly pretty much on the edge of my seat hoping that Vic, too tall for his own good, and Connor, too small for his own good, don't get hurt playing.

(...also, yes. I just used a picture—one of many—that so many sports sites created of them together because no one could stop bringing the other up when talking about their respective drafts lol)

[mielcitronsyrup]

Oh 🥺

[mielcitronsyrup]

Jeremy saw me getting carried away with the Victor/Connor Bedard posting and he said AHT AHT!! Back up carefully now ~

They’re my beloveds.

(Side note: I was dying of laughter when Vic ran over to back up his boy the second he saw the crowded scuffle gather on the court but gets immediately held back by a team trainer bc Vic hellooo you are this team’s savior and franchise face for the next two decades! The NBA literally wants you as one of their main faces to represent the league too! We must protect the Prince!!

[mielcitronsyrup]

Cryinggggg — Vic has his rookie out here trying out footie tricks too pre-game lmao. And look!!! Steph is smiling 😩

[mielcitronsyrup]

RUDY HOW DARE YOU TRY TO POSTERIZE YOUR SON OMG THIS ISNT WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID I CANT WAIT TO SEE FATHER & SON HOOPS TONIGHT 😩😩😩

[mielcitronsyrup]

I just…

The difference in level of effort they put into their costumes…. I’m crying. I’m genuinely so obsessed with how completely different but so alike these two are pls someone else tell me they see the vision too 🚬

Victor isn’t afraid to go all out and have a sp00ky night out whereas Connor just wants the night to be over with so he can go back home to catch up on the WHL.

[mielcitronsyrup]

ahem.

To quote one Miss Andrea Swift, "I say 'That's my baby and I'm real proud!" 🥹

WEMBY WITH HIS SECOND 5x5 EVER ON HALLOWEEN YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! NOW COME ON CONNOR—LETS GET A GOAL TONIGHT!!!

Yeah... we're really missing Dev and Tre on the court. Teams have really been ganging up on him a ton starting off this season and with our lack of shooters... Sigh.

Still hopeful the baby spurs will pull through against the Jazz tonight though!!! 🫡

Is.... Is Vic okay???

Like, I know he's currently got a slight cold he's struggling with on top of being double and triple-teamed every game so far this season, but like... he's really struggling to even get aggressive :/

Pop did say he was gonna be rusty right out the gate, but why? It wasn't like he was foregoing training and just sitting down. I guess maybe he took too short of a break after the Paris Olympics? But he got shelved for more than half of the pre-season to help alleviate that fatigue...

I don't know, but I really hope if it's something mental he can overcome it 🥺

[mielcitronsyrup]

have you ever seen a man want another man back so badly….? reunite them before sid wastes away from yearning

If I just dismiss this notification, it’s like the game isn’t even happening. Right? Right???

[mielcitronsyrup]

One of the things I love the most about Victor is how unapologetic he is in his fervor for things outside of basketball—especially when they're of the nerdy variety. He's really just a nerd who happened to descend from a long line of athletes and win the genetic lottery.

(Side Note: I know he's a prequels fan since he grew up with those movies, but I really hope we someday see a pic of him meeting Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver :') )

(Extra Side Note: I loved this bit from the MySanAntonio article about this event lol)
