Skip Bayless on Wemby:
"There's a lot of spoiled child still in there with this kid. I'm not gonna give him a '22-year-old pass' on this … You absolutely dominated? You lost in 5."
Jalen Brunson’s mom, Sandra, missed her connecting flight, had to fly commercial, and drove 1.5 hours from Austin to San Antonio just to make it to Game 5 on time.
She refused to take the team’s private charter so she could attend a charity event for kids in Harlem.
A mother’s dedication.
