The Knicks have not let Wemby get comfortable in this series 😳

That’s been one of the biggest stories through two games. New York isn’t giving Victor Wembanyama the same look every possession. OG Anunoby can get into his body and make him work. KAT gives him size, length, and enough strength to battle. Mitchell Robinson changes the paint completely and makes every catch, seal, and finish feel crowded.

It’s not about “stopping” Wemby. Nobody is really doing that.

It’s about making him see bodies. Making him play through contact. Making him reset. Making him think before he gets to the spot he wants.

That’s where the Knicks have been sharp. Different defenders, different coverages, different levels of physicality — and now they’re heading back to New York up 2-0 in the NBA Finals.

Shump called how important the details were going to be in this series… and right now, the Knicks’ defensive game plan on Wemby has been one of the biggest details of all.

Iman’s X-Factors for the NBA Finals 👀

Shump showed love to Dylan Harper and Julian Champagnie as two young pieces who can really swing this series for San Antonio, but his real X-factors came down to Devin Vassell for the Spurs and Landry Shamet for the Knicks.

And after Game 1, Shamet already made that look real.

13 points off the bench. 5/9 from the field. 3/6 from three. Big minutes, clean looks, and the kind of shot-making New York needed while the game was still hanging around.

On the Spurs side, Harper gave San Antonio real juice with 16 off the bench… which makes the end of the game even more interesting.

If a rookie is giving you that much in an NBA Finals game, should he be sitting in those last few minutes? 🤔

Shump broke down why the stars will get the headlines, but the Finals might come down to the guys around them.

Iman Shumpert said the NBA Finals might be the stage that pushes Jalen Brunson into a different tier… and Game 1 already started to look like it 👀

Brunson was controlling the game, picking his spots, getting to his pace, and then when the fourth quarter hit, he turned it up another level. That’s the part that separates stars from real playoff killers.

The Finals don’t just expose players. Sometimes they reveal who was built for this the whole time.

And right now, Jalen Brunson looks like he’s ready for that next jump.

When Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stopped hunting whistles in Game 7, the conversation changed 😮‍💨

No foul baiting. No leaning into defenders. No waiting on the refs to bail him out.

Just pure basketball.

And that’s the frustrating part with SGA — nobody is saying he isn’t elite. He’s one of the most skilled guards in the NBA. The footwork, pace, midrange touch, handle, body control, all of it is real.

That’s why people get so annoyed when the flopping becomes the story.

Because when Shai just hoops, you remember how special he actually is.

Iman Shumpert and Ahrii Shumpert broke down how OKC is starting to adjust to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs as the series goes on 👀

Playing against Wemby is different because you’re not just dealing with size — you’re dealing with timing, spacing, shot-blocking, passing lanes, and a player who changes what your offense even wants to do.

The Thunder have had to calibrate in real time. Where to attack. When to help. How physical to be. How to make the Spurs’ young guards uncomfortable without letting Wemby completely control the game.

That’s the part of playoff basketball people don’t always talk about.

It’s not just talent vs talent.

It’s adjustments, counters, and figuring out what still works when the other team has a 7’4 problem in the middle of everything.

Iman Shumpert said it perfectly… the Spurs have a cheat code 😳👽

When you have Victor Wembanyama running the floor, a bad lob can still turn into a highlight. You don’t have to throw it perfect. You don’t even have to throw it that high. Just put it somewhere near the rim and Wemby is probably the only player in the NBA who can go get it.

San Antonio’s offense already feels different because of it. Every cut, every fast break, every drive has the same emergency button:

Throw it up to Wemby.

The Timberwolves aren’t just Anthony Edwards 👀

Iman and Ahrii Shumpert broke down how Minnesota’s real problem for teams is the full supporting cast — depth, size, defense, and guys who can punish you if you load up on Ant.

This Wolves team is built different.
