Victor Wembanyama has spoken. The standard of defense first and defense always has been set, and everyone is buying in. In a media session filled with insightful commentary, light-hearted moments, and laughs, the Spurs' franchise center was stone-faced when he delivered the quote of the day.
"It doesn't matter your status, defense is non-negotiable." - Victor Wembanyama
Wemby is the leader of this team, and he's acting like it. This organization has historically been known for its defensive identity, but it's strayed from that during this playoff drought. Over the past two seasons, they've been strong on that end when the Kraken is on the floor, but they've crumbled when it comes time to rest him.
