Draymond on Wemby: 'I Own You Forever'
16 Jun
Summary
- Wemby left court without congratulating Knicks after loss.
- Draymond Green believes not shaking hands shows ownership.
- Knicks clinched title ending a 53-year championship drought.
Victor Wembanyama ignited online controversy following the conclusion of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. He departed the court for the tunnel without extending congratulations to the victorious New York Knicks, a departure from the customary post-series handshake or embrace.
This action drew significant criticism from various figures across the league, including fans and analysts. Notably, Draymond Green addressed the situation on his podcast, expressing that failing to meet an opponent's gaze after defeat demonstrates a lasting psychological advantage, suggesting, "I actually know that I own you forever."
The New York Knicks secured the championship by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90. This victory marked the end of a 53-year championship drought for the franchise, with Jalen Brunson delivering a stellar performance of 45 points. Wembanyama, still under 23, has already achieved a Finals appearance early in his career.
Looking ahead, Draymond Green is preparing for his 15th season with the Golden State Warriors, aiming for another title alongside Stephen Curry. Victor Wembanyama, entering his fourth season, is part of a young Spurs core poised for sustained contention in the league.
