San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama and the MVP race
Victor Wembanyama’s MVP campaign sparks debate: Can the San Antonio Spurs’ sensation truly claim basketball’s top honor this season?
Host Jeff Garcia and San Antonio Sports Star’s James Pledger break down the fierce MVP race headlined by Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cade Cunningham, and San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama. The conversation weighs each star’s impact, games played, and how injuries and roster depth could tilt the outcome, with Cunningham emerging as a surprising favorite thanks to his transformation of the Detroit Pistons.
The hosts examine whether the Spurs’ recent 10-game win streak cements Wembanyama’s case, while questioning if San Antonio’s team depth might actually hurt his MVP odds. Key discussion points include tiebreaker scenarios with the Thunder and Pistons, player injury management, and whether the overall No. 1 seed is within reach. Fan questions highlight the Spurs’ tendency to play down to weaker opponents and San Antonio’s ability to close out tough games.

How did yall feel when Coach Johnson was asked about how (I dnt remember word for word) most the teams first run at the playoffs and him saying the coach (himself) hasn’t been there either so we’ll see.. honestly I loved the response

all i hear on the down side of spurs…besides not alot of shooting if jules or devin get hurt is experience. should we not put much stock in this since wemby has had some championship run in Europe (loss in finals) in perhaps more hostile environments. focusing this question on victor as the best player.
Tell wemby to back off the reaching in tight spaces. Don't want to get an elbow injury like manu back in the day
If the spurs finish first in the west how can anyone but Wemby win. Cade is in a weak conference. Brown isn’t on the best team in his conference. Shai and Joker have been hurt and they wouldn’t be the best in the West. Spurs went from a bottom half team to the top 3 in one year. Show me a case for Joker or Shai, Wemby can put up numbers like this and those guys don’t play D
