Victor Wembanyama found himself living a real-life nightmare after his San Antonio Spurs’ epic collapse against the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Not only was he the centerpiece on the wrong end of the biggest comeback in Finals history, but he also had to dodge flying objects after the contest.
He Spurs were greeted by thousands of unruly Knicks fans when they arrived at their hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday night. It was a standard scene with fans holding up their phones to record the players getting off the team bus, shouting obscenities in their direction and a few ‘Knicks on five’ chants breaking out from the crowd.
But then things got ugly. As Wembanyama took a few steps outside the team bus, two objects were thrown at him while his back was turned to the crowd, from which the objects emerged.
