The New York Knicks<\/a> and San Antonio Spurs<\/a> will kick off the 2026 NBA Finals<\/a> on Wednesday with Game 1, and much of the focus of the Finals is already centered on Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama<\/a> and Knicks’ Jalen Brunson<\/a>.<\/p>\n While Brunson has been gaining attention in the NBA for a few years with the Knicks, Wembanyama is really having his breakout season. In Game 7 of the team’s series against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, Wembanyama finished the game with 22 points and seven rebounds, securing the Western Conference Finals MVP award.<\/p>\n So, what does Brunson think of Wembanyama, and can the Spurs star be contained?<\/p>\n Speaking with the press on Tuesday, Brunson gave his honest take on the Spurs star. According to Sports Illustrated reporter Tom Petrini, Brunson said, “Watching him as a player, it’s pretty unbelievable.”<\/p>\n “Things he’s able to do both sides of the ball, obviously people have never really seen before, for a person of his size, so it’s incredible to watch from a fan’s perspective,” Brunson added. “As an opposing player. It’s something you constantly have to be on watch for.”<\/p>\n He continued: “You just never know the things that he’s capable of doing, and so that’s why game planning and our game-plan discipline and our attention to details are so important when it comes to playing him, because he’s pretty incredible.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\nKnicks star Jalen Brunson gives kudos to Victor Wembanyama ahead of NBA Finals<\/h2>\n
