Knicks fans have had enough of Victor Wembanyama, the new Madison Square Garden villain.
As Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns shot free throws late in the second quarter, the MSG faithful chanted “f–k you, Wemby” at the Spurs’ 7-foot-4 phenom, who has been extra physical Monday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with his team trailing the series 2-0.
Wembanyama first drew the ire of the crowd when he shoved Jalen Brunson in the back of the head down to the court.
Warning: Graphic language
Brunson stood up and aired his frustration as Richard Jefferson said on the ABC broadcast that Wembanyama should’ve been called for a flagrant 1 foul.
Wembanyama had 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the first half, while Brunson had 15 points and three assists.
The Knicks trailed 33-22 after the first quarter but led 64-57 at halftime.
Knicks fans have been electric as they take in the team’s first NBA Finals home game since 1999.
