Wembanyama Targets Thunder for Throne | San Antonio Spurs News

Victor Wembanyama is declaring his arrival as the NBA’s new king, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are his first major test. Already dismantling the league’s elite, including a stunning three-game sweep of the then-undefeated Thunder last December, he’s not just chasing titles—he’s gunning for MVP honors and wants the world to know it’s his time. The Spurs’ Game 7 Western Conference Finals victory over OKC shattered their invincibility myth, and with a brutal 8-12 record against them last season, the Thunder enter this year with fire in their belly—but Wembanyama sees that as motivation. He believes he was robbed of MVP last year and is ready to prove it by taking down the reigning MVP on opening night. The West’s throne? It’s being claimed—and defended—by San Antonio.
