Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs head into New York tonight for Game 3 of the NBA Finals trailing 0-2 to the Knicks and DP can’t help but recall some of the most notable performances in the history of Madison Square Garden. Win or lose tonight, he thinks Wemby has an opportunity to etch himself into the storied lore of this basketball Mecca as well as the hearts of NBA fans everywhere.
Dan Patrick: “When you think about all the great moments the Garden has had throughout basketball history, even recent basketball history; you know, (Michael) Jordan comes back, has the double-nickel, you’ve had Steph Curry’s had a night there, LeBron (James), Patrick Ewing. You know, they’ve all had these stand-alone, singular, great games that if it happens in the Garden, it seems to resonate a little bit more…This is Wemby's moment. You may not win this series, but now you have to kind of claim, reclaim, hey, I can be the best player in the game.”
