Victor Wembanyama had the most emotional reaction to making NBA Finals

Wembanyama led the Spurs with 22 points and 7 rebounds in the hard-fought victory. But it was a total team effort for San Antonio, which had seven players score in double figures. Five different players also grabbed at least six rebounds.

The Spurs superstar was named the Western Conference Finals MVP. Instead of celebrating his individual accomplishment, Wemby used the opportunity to let his teammates know what they mean to him.

“This [Western Conference Finals MVP trophy] doesn’t mean anything, but the fact that we’re a team. We’ve done it together,” Wembanyama said.

Wemby has never been one to hide his emotions. Some fans mocked Wembanyama for crying after a regular-season win over the Los Angeles Clippers in February. The Frenchman even felt the need to defend himself later on, declaring that he’ll never carry the burden of hiding his emotions on the court.

Nobody’s laughing now as Wembanyama used his passion to fuel his team all the way to the NBA Finals.
