About this episode
The episode discusses the NBA Finals matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, highlighting Victor Wembanyama's performance and potential impact on the series.
Victor Wembanyama is called the extraterrestrial for a reason, his numbers stack up against some of the games greats in just his third season. He was named the Western Conference Finals MVP having taken the San Antonio Spurs to the NBA Finals, but standing in their way is a Jalen Brunson led New York Knicks team that is hungry for success. Will the Knicks, who have been starved of finals glory for so long, hunt down glory or will Wemby and his Spurs halt their blistering playoff run?
