Knicks fans think Victor Wembanyama tried to hurt OG Anunoby, but a new angle proves them wrong originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
San Antonio Spurs centerpiece Victor Wembanyama has become the public enemy of New York, especially with everything that has happened over the last two games of the NBA Finals in Madison Square Garden.
In Game 3, Wembanyama basically trashed down Jalen Brunson and survived what many Knicks fans argue should have been a flagrant foul. Now in Game 4, one footage is doing the rounds on the internet, suggesting the Spurs star might have tried to hurt Knicks forward OG Anunoby intentionally.
The clip below shows Wembanyama awkwardly jumping into Anunoby's right knee. The Knicks fans believe this could have gone badly, even to the extent that the Spurs star could have torn Anunoby's ACL. Fortunately, nothing happened.
However, another angle of the same play shows Wemby was at no fault.

Spurs fans defend Victor Wembanyama against Knicks fanbase over "dirty" play on OG Anunoby
After watching this footage, several Knicks fans arrived at the conclusion that Victor Wembanyama played "dirty" there. One fan wrote:
"Pretty dirty play. Dirtiest player in the @NBA."
In reply, the Spurs fans defended their superstar from such vague claims, with one releasing new footage that shows Wembanyama was rather pushed into Anunoby. Moreover, Wembanyama's right leg landed first, which showed that amid the physicality, he was trying to find balance with a leg rather than hurting Onunoby's knee with his left one.
This disagreement between both fans was expected ever since some wild turn of events had happened involving the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. On the court, the Spurs are on the brink of elimination after losing Game 4, allowing a 29-point historic comeback to the Knicks, to go down 3-1 in the series.
