Speaking of watch party, here’s a list and map of all the family-friendly, free ones we found that are welcoming San Antonians to catch the action for Game 1 of Spurs-Knicks. https://t.co/ZEl6XHwDAW
Want to impress your NBA Finals watch party pals tonight? @marcusrisen did the research and put together this deep dive exploring how unprecedented Wemby’s playoff run as been at age 22, and the small company he’d be in if Spurs win it all. https://t.co/TLgZ1AoAPB
"I saw Pop right away when we landed, and the emotion was really something I haven't felt in a while. I don't even know since when. Coming back from this is a challenge and it's not done yet. We still need to really come back down to earth and realize that we haven't done the hardest yet, the job isn't done at all."

Incredible box office weekend, incredibly exciting time for movies and the ongoing resetting of expectations over who should make them and what audiences will pay to go see.
"Guys that I love so, so, so much"
A star's teammates are often called 'the others,' but Wemby would add a few letters.
He knows he wouldn't be in the Finals without his brothers, from Champagnie's run to Kornet's block.
How the Spurs did it together:
https://t.co/JPkxrP0U72
Julian Champagnie’s self-belief has been huge: through his coming to San Antonio, through this season, through the Western Conference Finals. He came up huge when the Spurs needed him most. https://t.co/O3qfiU2biJ
In a series that started with his opponent lifting the regular season MVP trophy, Victor Wembanyama again proved no pressure is too great—before lifting his own hardware. https://t.co/kZYlQEtRhI
A reminder that the Spurs won 34 games last season and didn’t make the playoffs. In fact, they hadn’t been in the playoffs since the 2018-19 season. To go from that to beating the defending champs on the road in a Game 7, and now on to the NBA Finals is absolutely incredible.
People have wondered who is the star that is going to take LeBron’s place when he retires, I think it’s Wemby. Think about what he’s about to do over the next decade.
I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School
What a quote from Wemby to end his media availability:
"I can go through hurdles that I didn't know those hurdles could get so high. It's just pushing through, I found resources inside of me, relentlessness. I already knew that, but doing it at this level, I mean, this is the best basketball on the planet that's being played right now... and the crazy thing is, maybe I'm crazy, but I want to do that 15-20 more times. Let's hope it doesn't become an addiction... maybe it already is."
A 17-year-old boy is brain-dead after falling from a vehicle during Spurs honking celebrations Thursday night.
A source told the Express-News the teen's injuries were catastrophic and that he was not expected to survive. https://t.co/F58VVKcWVA
