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.
The Knicks winning a world championship is cool & all but exposing the world to what an unlikable fraud this guy is might be the best part of this. NYC most hated ppl ever & somehow this guy was more hateable. There can’t be anyone left who likes this guy outside of spurs fans??
This is my first time seeing this clip on the TL but if the roles were reversed it would’ve been posted by every big basketball account and have captions like “Can’t believe the league lets OKC play like this!”
CASTLE FOULS SGA EVERY SINGLE POSSESSION. JUST ALLOWED TO PLAY FOOTBALL. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. HE KNOWS THE REFS WILL LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT AGAINST "THE FREE THROW MERCHANT." TONIGHT SGA IS DOWN HIS 2 BEST CO-SCORERS AND HE'S UP AGAINST AN 8-MAN DEFENSE.
One thing i respect about baseball, outside the few ppl who u should be able to identify in the lineup that may get pinch hit for, niggas gone play for 9 innings! Servin belt, or gettin belted… TAKE YO ASS TO THAT PLATE!
