Shaquille O'Neal Slams Victor Wembanyama's Shooting in NBA Finals Opener

The San Antonio Spurs entered Game 1 of the NBA Finals needing to contain a hot New York Knicks team. The Knicks rallied from a 14‑point deficit to win 105‑95 and take a 1‑0 series lead.

Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but his shooting was erratic, going 6‑of‑21 from the field and 2‑of‑9 from three. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal delivered a blunt critique, saying Wembanyama's shooting was far from acceptable.

Shaq added that the Spurs must adjust their strategy and improve execution to stay competitive in Game 2.
