Nightcap Hour 2: Wemby REFLECTS on First NBA Finals + James Harden ARRESTED on GUN Charge + Aldon Smith PASSES Away at 36 + A’Ja Wilson and Aces TOP Lynx + Sparks HANDLE Mercury

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Everything, you know what, everything ain't meant for me to get. Let's take a listen to what Wemby had to say after the game.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:06)
Victor, I know it's the end of a tough series. I'm just wondering, if you can put into words what it was like to watch that team celebrate a championship on your home floor, and does that give you and the team maybe motivation, fuel going into whatever's next?

**Victor Wembanyama** (0:29)
I think, compared to anything before, this is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment. I can't tell exactly what the lesson is, but we're learning from that, for sure.
I'm learning more than any other time in my life before.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:46)
Every team you've faced so far, you guys always found a way to get over the top eventually. What did you learn about how hard it is to win the finals against this next team, where they kept coming up with answers, fronts, and just could always score no matter what in the end?

**Victor Wembanyama** (1:02)
One of many things I learned is the margin of error is very, very thin. Our domination stints are absolute. We absolutely dominated for most of the series, but our errors, our mistakes are punished so hard that we can't have ups and downs like this so much. The ups, okay, the downs is the reason we lost.
Yes.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:45)
Yeah. Joe, we've been talking about this all, we talk about this, Joe, we talk about this all the time. In postseason, you pay double for turnovers. Yep.
Yep. You pay double.
The question is, and we talk about this in football, when you have the momentum, how much separation can you put between you and the team? Because they gonna go on that run. Yeah.
Yeah.
The spurs low was just too damn low. Yes. It was just too damn low. Yeah. I mean, Ocho, granted, you had the Knicks the whole postseason broke. Yes, sir. For the Spurs to just dwindle, just give away games the way they done down the stretch, bro.
I mean, outside of being fatigued and obviously, we don't want to keep throwing the immature thing out there, but hell, I don't know what else to tell you, bro. Like, I think, like Wemby say, I think hopefully they will learn from a lot of these losses from this series alone and hopefully, it'll be better in the future. But carbon copy every game, up double figures, blow the lead and lose. And see, that's what's so frustrating. You know, Ocho? Yeah. If you make a mistake one time, I put my arm around and say, Ocho, you made a mistake, bro. We can't do that no more. Right. But guess what? Two days later, Ocho, you do the same mistake. And then two days after that, Ocho, you do the same mistake. And then two days after that, Ocho, you do the same mistake. Now, either one or two things, you will F up or you not receiving the message that I'm giving you. Yeah. Or I need to give you the message in a new form.

**Chad Johnson** (3:31)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:33)
It's not that, Joe, Ocho, it's not that complicated. It's really not. Either the message that I'm trying to give you, I need to change the form in which I'm giving it to you.

**Chad Johnson** (3:48)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:50)
Or, as my coach used to say, son, I need a new player. I need a new player, son. Hey, but why are you talking? Miss Johnson got out coached by Mike Brown.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:04)
He did.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:05)
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we got to understand now this. Hey, Miss Johnson, even though he's inherited a great young team. Yes. He's still a rookie him damn self. Yes. You know, so I can see what things don't go so great for them down the stretch. Man, it's not just the players, it's the coaching too at times. Okay, Ocho. Yes. Yeah. I don't know how calming or soothing voice that he has in the huddle, because it seems like when the bleeding, they can't stop the bleeding. Yeah.
Because the thing is, Ocho, Joe, if you notice, it's like when the Knicks go and they run, or the Spurs need to make a shot, they can't get it.
And it seems like every time the Knicks need to make a shot, they can get it. Every time. They will get to the free throw line, they're going to find a way. And the Spurs could never match that.

**SPEAKER_6** (5:08)
Every time. Every time.
Every time.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:14)
It seemed like the Knicks came up with big play after big play, bro.
