“HE DOESN’T JUST WALK AWAY FROM THAT.” Draymond Green has sparked a fresh wave of controversy after taking aim at Victor Wembanyama over claims the Spurs phenom skipped a major post-Finals tradition.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs couldn’t take revenge for their NBA Cup loss to the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. Rather, the Spurs’ young team fell again to Jalen Brunson’s team and cost their championship dream after a masterclass season.

After the Spurs’ season-ending loss, Wembanyama was so frustrated that he left the court without any friendly handshake with players. However, the Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green didn’t like Wemby’s attitude. In the latest episode of his podcast, Green addressed the situation with a firm message about Victor Wembanyama’s sportsmanship and respect.

“When guys just leave the court and can’t face me and AV, one of our assistant coaches, we always say, ‘Look your killer in the face.’ Look your killer in the face. You got to look them in their face. By the way, if you leave the court and I just beat you, I actually know that I own you forever,” Green said.

The disappointment of falling just short of a championship and facing another long wait for a new opportunity weighed heavily on Victor Wembanyama. The 22-year-old not only appeared distant toward Knicks players after the loss but also carried a firm, tense tone during his postgame media availability.

In his final postgame press conference, Victor Wembanyama opened up about the emotional impact of watching the Knicks celebrate a championship on his home court.

“I think that doesn’t compare to anything before. This is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment. I’m learning more than any other time in my life before,” Victor Wembanyama said.

The Spurs remain a team with clear championship potential. However, the crucial reality is that they must still develop the composure and mindset required to perform under pressure in late-game situations. Despite the painful finish, expectations remain that San Antonio will return stronger next season with an even greater drive to secure a title.
