If Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault thought that Chet Holmgren was an appropriate rival for Victor Wembanyama, he probably would have given him the assignment of stopping the Alien, don't you think? That's not what happened, though. Days after the Spurs knocked OKC out of the Emirates NBA Cup in the semifinals, people are still talking about that game and this alleged rivalry. Let me tell you: it doesn't exist.
Dude, we all saw Chet guarding Harrison Barnes in clutch time. Pretty sure you’re the one who wasn’t watching. https://t.co/omWUwzbr0W

As @DevonBirdsong pointed out in the social media post above, in response to a delusional Thunder fan, Chet spent more of the game guarding everyone but Wemby.
