The San Antonio Spurs’ historic collapse in Game 4 of the NBA Finals was capped with one final indignity. NBA star Victor Wembanyama was hit by an egg that appeared to have been thrown by Knicks fans as the Spurs returned to the team hotel.
Footage circulating on social media showed at least one egg thrown in Wembanyama’s direction as security staff escorted him to a New York hotel. This is the latest in a series of headline-grabbing incidents involving Knicks fans in recent days.
The aftermath of San Antonio’s Game 3 victory spread beyond the arena, as videos on social media apparently showed Knicks fans physically confronting Spurs fans. Some of those Spurs fans appeared to have their jerseys ripped off during the exchanges, prompting Wembanyama to condemn the behavior.

“My thoughts of course [are] that we can’t forget that it’s a game,” he said. “We’re just playing a game out there. I am for passion, but [with] respect for others. This is unacceptable.”
The NBA Defensive Player of the Year wasn’t the only one who shared this view, as ESPN host Mike Greenberg expressed similar sentiments after Game 4.
“If you’re throwing eggs at Victor Wembanyama and beating people… threatening… or doing anything to people wearing Spurs jerseys, just know you’re a disgrace. You’re not disgracing this city, you’re disgracing yourself and everyone who knows you,” Greenberg, a New York native, said on Thursday’s edition of “Get Up.”

“And that should go without saying. We now live in a world where, one way or another, things are no longer self-evident,” Greenberg continued. “You are a disgrace and everyone around you who knows you.”
