Stephen A. Smith believes Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks “saved the NBA” by defeating Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs for the championship.
“If San Antonio wins it all, the whole league has to start building around one question: how do you stop the alien, that 7-foot-5 alien from France? But instead, a 6’1 guard not the most explosive athlete, not someone playing above the rim just a smart, crafty basketball mind with elite footwork, ended up leading his team to the title.”
Charles Barkley:
"I hate to say this: (Mitch) gotta go with Castle and Harper. He got to take Fox out of the game...if you're coach Johnson you can't be worrying about people's feelings out here"
Brandon Jennings says the Spurs should really be up 3-0:
“If we being honest with the Spurs. We go back to game 1, they’re down by 1 with 2 minutes to go, game 2 they lose with 10 seconds left, game 3 I mean 30 seconds left it’s a 3 point game. So if we really looking at it that’s why I said it’s 50-50 because they literally could be up 3-0. They’re down 2-1 and they still have the momentum more then anything you would think it would be the other way around but after that game last night it really showed.”
