Jalen Brunson, Steph Curry, Tony Parker and Isiah Thomas are the only guards 6’2 or shorter to win Finals MVP.
This championship changes a lot for him as far as all-time status.
Sort of like Dirk in 2011,

Spurs made some real adjustments that panned out in a major way in Game 3.
Wemby on Hart permanently + Keldon on KAT to help them force more turnovers. 21 points off 13 turnovers for them.
They also scored 40 points in the restricted area. Wemby/Castle/Harper cooked inside.

Victor Wembanyama has been absurdly good in this game.
He has 14 of his 32 points in the restricted area. Again, the Spurs spacing in the pick-and-roll has allowed him to get easier looks via lobs, duck-ins.

19 points off turnovers for the Spurs after 3 quarters. That's the most they've had in these Finals so far.

The one guy who is flat-out just not afraid of Wemby as a defender: OG Anunoby.

10 of Steph Castle’s 18 points have been in the restricted area. A couple of and-ones. The drives have been available for him and the rest of the Spurs guards tonight. Great sign for the Spurs.

It was around this time of Game 2 that KAT really started to assert his dominance.
He led the Knicks to an 8-0 run just now. Assist to Clarkson in the corner, got fouled on an offensive rebound, took Fox 1-on-1 for the finish, and had the poke out that led to the OG three.

The Athletic’s NBA podcast talks about Renee Good up top and before going to break tells listeners that we’re all in this together and we’re all we’ve got. Very nice to hear.

The Lakers score more efficiently in the pick-and-roll than any team in the NBA.
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have made them impossible to guard.
