“Spurs vs Thunder will feed families for generations” might actually be underselling it.
A 22-year-old Victor Wembanyama leading a young Spurs core against a loaded Thunder team built around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and company? That’s the kind of rivalry the NBA dreams about.
Every game felt like:
Wemby blocks nobody has ever seen before
Future MVP-level performances
Young stars taking turns making clutch plays
Endless debates about who has the brighter future
Playoff intensity years ahead of schedule
And now after seven games, Spurs fans get to say they survived the first chapter.
Wemby on the Knicks:
"It's a great team of experienced guys who are not here by chance but by relentless effort over the years and very different career paths for all of them. So they're right where they're supposed to be… and all of them are going to be super hungry."
