Knicks Fans Chant ‘f–k You, Wemby’ As Spurs Star Victor Wembanyama Becomes New Garden Villain
Knicks fans have had enough of Victor Wembanyama, the new Madison Square Garden villain.
As Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns shot free throws late in the second quarter, the MSG faithful chanted “f–k you, Wemby” at the Spurs’ 7-foot-4 phenom, who has been extra physical Monday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals as he helped San Antonio team to a 115-111 win.
Wembanyama, who had 32 points and eight rebounds first drew the ire of the crowd when he shoved Jalen Brunson in the back of the head and down to the court.
After the Spurs’ win, Wembanyama said he’s not at the level of another Knicks playoff villain yet.
“I guess, but I am nowhere near Trae Young’s level, though,” he told reporters.
Warning: Graphic language
"F**k you Wemby" chants were out in full force.

Brunson stood up and aired his frustration as Richard Jefferson said on the ABC broadcast that Wembanyama should’ve been called for a flagrant 1 foul.

Knicks fans were electric as they took in the team’s first NBA Finals home game since 1999, but the outcome wasn’t what they had hoped for.
