The victory sends the Spurs to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014 and marks San Antonio's seventh Finals appearance. San Antonio will face the New York Knicks in the Finals, a matchup that underscores Wembanyama's rapid rise and gives the Spurs a clear centerpiece for title contention.
This is gonna be a fuckin awesome NBA Finals. No heels.
Dante28Brunson is definitely a heel.
ayejuice.bsky.social21Trump in a James Dolan gifted Knicks jersey will solve that
Stephen Breyer's Ice Cream8Any team from New York is automatically the heel in a given situation, unless it's the Mets who are just cute and unintimidating.
nwnomad21.bsky.social6Agreed. I’d be be happy with either team winning. Long time Spurs fan but Knicks are due. Oh wait, their owner is a tool. Go Spurs.
Jerico5I’ve spent much of Saturday night 1) in a drunken state b) watching every Spurs celebration online
Joe Flynn4Shouldn't a Mavs fan hate the Spurs?
Zero Life King3Spurs are gonna steamroll the Knicks.
Marc Grundfossen2Wonder if Pop wishes he’d stayed one more year.
Linda UWSⓥ2Ooph- who’s going to guard Wemby? Robinson? I think Townes will foul out if they put him on Wemby. Anyway, Go Knicks.
easton2i think Spurs are going to have a massive villain arc next year, probably starting in these finals.
Revivedphoenix2Um, the Knicks are clearly the heel.
❤️🫀 momo (heartily good bad) 🫀❤️2wait the north carolina tarheels didnt make it?
Bryan2Knicks fans are the heel
Mike D2Just hope the average margin of victory is in the single digits.
meanmeanie.bsky.social2Owner of the Knicks begs to differ
victor wembanyama just led his team to the NBA finals at 22 years old in his first ever playoff appearance went from "the future" to "the best player in the world" in the blink of an eye. surreal getting to witness his rise happen in real time.
Dylan Michel6Ridiculous talent and a good dude too.
Brock Monroe4He won’t be giving up the title of best player in the world for a long time.
Sheldon R. Hicks4“This shouldn’t be happening” Wemby’s had me saying that about all things NBA basketball for the last three seasons.
jlirajr.bsky.social2Prisoners of the moment. Can we let the guy win a title or two before we start crowning him.
Matt Mulekezi2Incredible ascension! San Antonio has another one.
If Victor Wembanyama was 5 foot 9 and out of shape I wonder how he’d do exactly. Hm? Don’t hear the media discussion this much now of days
Philip K. Dick Trickle14If he were white would he be such a big deal? We discuss this topic tonight on GUTFELD!
Henry Wood11If you only count the games they won, The Sixers would be undefeated, but the NBA Media doesn’t want to admit this
Arran8I mean, it's a fact that ANY of us, if we were seven-four and preternaturally talented and thought of nothing but basketball and chess and practiced like our lives depended on it, could do what he does. But the captured media won't tell you that.
Scott Collette5As somebody who fits that criteria and is also 43, I like to think I’d produce the exact same results.
Veleda_k3If I had a stepladder and all the other players stood very still and closed their eyes, I could win as many games as Wemby. At yet, ESPN does not call me.
the worst part about being a thunder fan is you can't enjoy victor wembanyama. cruel torture.
Miles Davis Morales6My life as a Rockets fan in the Steph Curry era I'll go to my grave hating that man
Rey Wil3Thunder fans stole someone else’s team and root for a team full of floppers. It only make sense they don’t get to enjoy the greatness of Wembanyama
jaysyk3Someone on the Thunder made a Faustian bargain a couple years ago and man is starting to collect
David Sepanik3Maybe they shouldn’t have stolen a team from Seattle, and then vilified their greatest player. Boo hoo for the worst fan base who should never have existed.
BobbySegs2Imagine being a Rockets or Mavs fan.
One of two cliches will disintegrate in this year's NBA Finals: Either the Spurs win, and people will no longer be able to claim you have to lose before you can win. Or the Knicks win, and any insistence you can't win with a small guard as your best player goes away.
JesterX4Both those have already been debunked. Jordan's Bulls won their 1st Finals (and everyone they were in after that) and Isiah Thomas's Pistons won multiple Finals.
PJ2(Karl Towns might be our best player)
hayden15.bsky.social2The Spurs had 6 straight seasons of 34 or fewer wins including back to back 22 win seasons
Jay Patrick2Isiah Thomas would agree with the first cliche and have some serious disagreements with the second.
thegetup814.bsky.social2Analysts who insist on the "small guards can't win big games" are lazy and reliant on old data.
