“When PSG plays in Marseille, it’s a real rivalry!
The series was so anecdotal to him that no journalist mentioned it at the press conference. Tonight, against the Thunder, Victor Vembanyama he did not succeed in the slightest against, and it was the first since January 2024. The fact remains that he entered a very exclusive club with 100 matches completed with at least one counterand only Pat Ewing and Dikembe Mutombo did the same.
But what keeps ” Wemby “, is that it The Spurs dominated the NBA champions twice in ten days! “It also shows me how much better we are than at the start of the season. We can still improve a lot. We need a few more wins to catch up, but yeah, that means something.” answers the French pivot about this good result against the NBA leaders.
We don’t skip stairs in San Antonio
The meeting was intense, with a very high level of basketball, and after refusing to talk about the “rivalry” with the Thunder in Las Vegas, is he reconsidering his decision?
“To say it’s a rivalry would be strange, because it’s not something we decree: it’s built naturally. I didn’t say it’s impossible in the future. I hope it will happen soon, and we’re getting closer. In the end, the goal remains the same: to go directly to the playoffs, after 82 matches. But we can’t jump any more steps. But now we can’t jump any more steps.
But when will there be a sense of an established rivalry between the Spurs and the Thunder?
“I think the signs are full rooms, different energy, physical intensity from start to finish. It’s hard to describe, but it’s like when PSG plays against Marseille, it’s a real rivalry! But like I said, it’s something that’s been building for years. It’s not something you can just make up for. It doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a good game, but it’s a good game.”
Perhaps what he describes will be more tangible on Thursday night, as the Thunder welcome the Spurs to the “Christmas Games” and revenge will inevitably be in the air…
