Not even the best PR campaign ever by the NBA can make 29/30 fanbases like Victor Wembanyama after these playoffs.
Good luck making him the new face of the NBA after this laundry list of embarrassing antics:
• “Hard fouls, hard fouls”
• Elbows Naz Reid in the throat
• Tries taking out Anunoby’s ACL
• Intentionally lands in Brunson’s
landing zone (watch his eyes)
• Throws Brunson by his neck and then
laughs
• Yanks Lou Dort by the hair
• Elbows Hartenstein in the face
• Levels Caruso w/ his shoulder
• Bumps OKC players heading to
bench during timeouts
• Skips media presser after losing
game 5 vs. OKC
• Doesn’t shake hands after losing to
Knicks on his home floor
• Gets Knicks fan kicked out of hotel
for wishing him good luck
The media, who he hates, will continue to carry water for him but the jig is up & the basketball world knows he isn’t this chess loving, monk befriending, ethical basketball messiah… He’s an abnormally tall guy who can play like a kid playing on their skillz mini hoop.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson thought the shot clock resets to 24 after an offensive rebound of a FT and told Kornet to foul. That is incorrect, it resets to 14. This means they just needed to get a stop, and would've had 11 secs to run a play to tie the game. Instead, OG basically puts the game out of reach
Jalen Brunson took 100 million less to win a championship with the Knicks & Austin Reaves out there talking about he want the 241 for the Lakers. Let’s be serious
Jalen Brunson scored 29 points in the second half of Game 5 last night
That’s the MOST POINTS scored in the second half of any NBA Finals game played in the NBA’s modern era.
Brunson did it in a Finals-clinching win on the road to break a 53-year title drought for the Knicks
