New York Knicks ready for Game 2 of the NBA Finals 2026 against San Antonio Spurs: Live Updates

An old video of San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama struggling to find his shooting touch at a basketball court in New York has resurfaced and gone viral in time for his team's NBA Finals series against the Knicks.

Footage posted by Austin Spruill shows the French big man missing a series of shots at Rucker Park.

Spruill said the footage dates back to a visit by Wemby to the hallowed New York court in 2023, and joked that the French star has never had much luck with the city's rims.

"When Wemby comes to New York, he shoots bricks," Spruill said. "I couldn't believe he missed every shot."

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he will attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals. But while President Trump suggested he could return for Game 4 Wednesday, the mayor said he will not.

"I won't be at Game 4. Game 3 is what I'm saving up for," the mayor said, noting that even the cheap seats are not cheap.

"There are no more (cheap seats.) Trust me, I can tell you that myself," Mamdani said. "I'm paying for my own tickets."

"I'll be there with a few friends, and I know that the President will also be coming. I can tell you that I won't be court side or in a suite, but I can't wait to see the game."

A watch party for game 2 of the NBA Finals will be held outside Madison Square Garden on Friday night.

There were eight arrests during Game 1's outdoor watch party.

Fans in New York can also watch the Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs inside Madison Square Garden and outside at Central Park.

There are watch parties planned both inside of Madison Square Garden and in Central Park Friday night. It's not yet clear if a watch party will be held outside of MSG as well.

Tickets are already gone for both. The city has been buzzing ahead of Game 2.

"It's not just a great team and winning team but it's such an incredible group of players, great people that are representing the city of New York and I think that's bringing even people into the fan base," a fan said.
