Ryen Russillo joined the show from San Antonio and discussed the rapid rise of Victor Wembanyama. Russillo said he expects Wemby to enter next season viewed as the best player in the world and the face of the NBA. Russillo also noted that unlike stars like Stephen Curry, Wembanyama’s game is impossible to replicate. He also pointed out how unusual this Finals matchup is, with both the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks defying traditional championship formulas. Russillo later defended Charles Barkley, arguing his greatness as a player is often overlooked because of his success on television.
