The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs (94:90) on the road, clinching their first NBA championship in 53 years.
In another dramatic comeback, New York secured the long-awaited trophy, leaving San Antonio heartbroken.
The Spurs held the lead in almost every game of the Finals, but ultimately, experience proved decisive, sending the trophy to the Big Apple.
After the game, Victor Wembanyama addressed reporters, remaining as reserved as ever.
This is the biggest lesson of my life. I've never learned so much from a single experience. Our periods of dominance were absolute. We completely dominated for most of the series. But our mistakes, our errors, are punished so severely that we cannot allow ourselves such ups and downs... The ups are fine. The downs are why we lost.Victor Wembanyama
He then added words that American journalists are still struggling to interpret.
Thank you all. See you... never.Victor Wembanyama
What exactly Wemby meant, we may never know. Some believe this simply shows how deeply the loss affected him, a sentiment he publicly displayed for the first time.
At 22 years old, the Frenchman played in and lost his first NBA Finals.
