Victor Wembanyama (in French) is asked what he is looking to improve on over the summer:
🇫🇷: Victor, after these Finals, what do you want to improve the most this summer? On the court or off the court, what area of improvement have you identified for yourself before next season?
👽: I'm going to work even harder, obviously, to be even more durable and, above all, to keep a fresh mind and maintain control of the game at all times. That's what really stands out about Jalen Brunson, for example. There are too many moments—and it doesn't come from bad intentions—but there are too many moments where I'm passive, where I don't have the control over the game that I'd like to have, and it ends up costing us.

Victor Wembanyama's first playoff run:
23.8 PPG
10.9 RPG
2.7 APG
3.5 BPG
1.0 SPG
Joins Hakeem and Kareem as the only players to average those numbers and reach the Finals.
The Spurs led every single game of that series by double digits after the first quarter. They led three games going into the 4th quarter and were tied in one other. They led every game at some point in the final four minutes.
No precedent for a team losing 4-1 in that fashion.
I have never, in my life, seen a series-long choke like what the Spurs just did. They broke down in almost every big moment. Pretty much the entire team was visibly petrified in the clutch. Chalk it up to youth or inexperience but that was an insane thing to witness.
