Holmgren Crumbles Under Wemby Pressure
1 Jun
Summary
- Jason Williams questioned Holmgren's effort and fear of Wembanyama.
- Holmgren scored only four points on one shot in Game 7.
- Kendrick Perkins claimed Wembanyama 'took his heart' and soul.
Chet Holmgren faced intense criticism following his team's Game 7 playoff exit, with former NBA player Jason Williams questioning his competitive spirit and suggesting fear of opponent Victor Wembanyama. Holmgren, who earned All-NBA honors this season, delivered a disappointing performance, scoring only four points on one made field goal and failing to attempt any shots in the second half.
This outing marked a stark contrast to his earlier playoff success and positioned him as only the second All-NBA player in five decades to score four points or fewer in a Game 7. Former star Kendrick Perkins also weighed in, asserting that Wembanyama not only outperformed Holmgren but "took his heart" and his soul, labeling Holmgren as scared to compete.
