Julian Champagnie praised Carter Bryant for how he handled being filmed without apparent consent in the bathroom in OKC: “He had to go to the bathroom, he wanted the quickest one. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I think, if anything, we should stop recording people in the bathroom.”

Victor Wembanyama was asked by Ramona Shelburne whether he feels the weight of following in the footsteps of Sours legends like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. “I wouldn’t say weight. I would say it feels safe. It feels like if you trip, there’s a lot of hands that’s ready to catch you.”

Victor Wembanyama explains why he said he wants to play “ethical” basketball after beating the Thunder: “In modern basketball, we see a lot of brands of basketball that don't offer much variety in dangers they propose to the opponents. Lots of isolation ball and, sometimes, kind of forced basketball. We try to propose a brand of basketball that can be described as more old school sometimes; the Spurs way as well. So it's tactically more correct basketball, in my opinion.”

Wemby on battling Jokic: “I think it was an amazing game. Very fun. One of the most fun games. I wish we could’ve closed it out. My conclusion of this game is that it was good for us. It’s a real test against a team that’s actually playing for something right now.”

Anthony Edwards: “I mean, everybody in the arena is against us. That’s the best thing about it. You start on the road, everybody got on pink, blue, whatever color shirts there is, chanting ‘Go Spurs Go,’ doing all that and I’m with Minnesota. I got Minnesota’s back at all times. I’m out there with my brothers and we’re going to war.”

Victor Wembanyama was informed of a Spurs fan that was attacked by Knicks fans in New York last night after his team beat the Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. “I didn’t know that. My thoughts, of course, is that, I mean, we can’t forget it’s a game. We’re just playing a game out there. And I am all for passion, but to the respect of each other. It’s unacceptable.”

Keldon Johnson had a somber, quiet tone speaking about winning Sixth Man of the Year. It turns out he’s been carrying more on his shoulders than anyone realized. “I was telling my teammates this, and I’ll share a little bit with y’all, but this has been one of the toughest years of my life. My granddad has been fighting cancer, so my parents have been in and out. They haven’t really been here as much and I’m really tight with my parents. Those are my best friends. So not really having them here and going through the season, it’s been tough.”
