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.
