In a recent appearance on the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM, Jose Alvarado also expressed disappointment with how Victor Wembanyama did not even shake his and the New York Knicks‘ hands after the 2026 NBA Finals. “Wemby is a great player. … I mean, I got mixed emotions. I’m a competitor too, but I also like to stare my enemies down. I look forward to them, and I shake their hand. Obviously, it’s a game. You don’t like the moment you lost your pride, the biggest game of your career, but you’re gonna have more moments,” Alvarado argued. “I feel like the way he did it was a little too crazy for me because I loved how he competed during the game. “Obviously, people didn’t like how he was being aggressive, but bro, we wanna fight, we fight for something. Between the lines, I feel like anything is cool. Outside the line, shake your hand, shake hands, and call it what it is.”
