First, Karl-Anthony Towns defeated Victor Wembanyama in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n
Then, the New York Knicks big man pulled quite the card featuring the San Antonio Spurs star.<\/p>\n
Towns just so happened to pull a rare 2025-26 Chrome Update autographed Wembanyama card during a live broadcast. He reacted to the situation as well on social media:<\/p>\n
There is a certain level of irony to the entire situation, as Towns’ Knicks just faced Wembanyama’s Spurs in a memorable NBA Finals. While New York won rather quickly in five games, it had to come back in each of its victories.<\/p>\n
One of those comebacks was a 29-point one during Game 4, while another came in the closeout contest in Game 5.<\/p>\n
Jalen Brunson took home the NBA Finals MVP, while Towns was an important secondary contributor who averaged a double-double of 13.0 points and 10.6 rebounds per game throughout the series.<\/p>\n
While Wembanyama fell short of the championship in his first NBA Finals, he is just 22 years old. It would be anything but a surprise if he wins multiple titles throughout his career.<\/p>\n
If he does, the card Towns pulled will become even more valuable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First, Karl-Anthony Towns defeated Victor Wembanyama in the NBA Finals.
