What's Wright - Best Of - Knicks WIN NBA Finals, Wemby's INSANE press conference, will Team USA go on a run?

Welcome to Best of the Week on What’s Right with Nick Wright—our favorite hits from the past few shows; enjoy.

You were in San Antonio for the Knicks’ clincher; what was the building like?

TV undersold how many Knicks fans were there; it felt close to a Knicks home crowd and you could sense Spurs fans tightening as the lead slipped late.

Brunson took Finals MVP and carried a huge load; how impressed were you?

He just authored a championship‑level masterpiece—elite bucket‑getting, supreme poise, and fourth‑quarter dominance capped by 45 in the closeout and a personal late run that broke the game; he outplayed Victor and did it as the underdog with limited fourth‑quarter help beyond OG.

Was this a magical one‑off or something we should expect going forward?

He may not replicate these exact numbers, but he’s a proven playoff riser you can trust when it gets tight.

How did his 10–0 solo burst feel in the arena?

Everyone knew the Spurs were cooked; he’s an unstoppable closer, and his strength neutralized Victor’s length as the game wore on.

Rick Brunson said Ewing is still the greatest Knick—do you agree?

Ewing never reached a peak like this or finished the job; Clyde and Willis had each other, but Brunson just delivered a title, so if he’s not already the greatest Knick, he’s on pace and he’s the most important one.

Wemby entered with a perfect approval rating and left with questions; what changed for you?

He emptied the tank early and faded, even sitting late in Game 5, then missed critical plays and offered little credit to the Knicks while insisting the Spurs ‘dominated’; fair critiques now are end‑game shakiness, no go‑to move yet, strength concerns, and the minutes‑versus‑durability trade‑off.

Is he ready to be a complete, top‑of‑the‑league guy right now?

I’m not as bullish as others—there’s a pattern of reckless fouls and a landing‑space play that should’ve been upgraded, plus real stamina splits that led to crunch‑time rests, and all of it came while the Spurs refused to admit the Knicks were simply better.

Is it fair to hold this Finals against him down the road?

Not unless it becomes a pattern—think 2007 LeBron; what may linger is the vibe shift from the flagrants, the arrogance while trailing, and brushing off the champs, especially after earlier shots about the Knicks’ style and his MVP stump speech.

Who holds the best‑in‑the‑world belt right now—does Brunson have it?

It’s vacant; Brunson has the strongest claim from these playoffs, Wemby doesn’t, Jokic and Shai dipped, and the lane is open for Luka if he’s healthy.

USMNT smashed Paraguay and now faces Australia; are we raising expectations or staying cautious?

Raise the bar and play Pulisic if he can go, because winning Group D dramatically softens the path with a third‑place opponent first and avoids an early Argentina showdown if you finish second.

Beat Australia now, and with a Paraguay result against Turkey you can lock the group and then manage minutes; I expect Christian to suit up, a win to follow, and a real shot at a deep run.
