According to Oh No He Didn't on X, Wembanyama explained the play with a laugh, saying, “I didn't want these guys to get into my legs so I figured since it was two smalls I would just have them meet me in the air if they wanted to but they didn't.” He also reflected on the Spurs' recent success, emphasizing how much he enjoys the team's unselfish style of play. “A lot. We're playing the right way; we're playing with and for each other. This is the basketball I like.”

The finger roll was part of a spectacular outing against Phoenix, as Wembanyama recorded 40 points, 11 rebounds, eight blocks, and three assists in just 25 minutes. He shot an outstanding 15-of-19 from the field, helping San Antonio secure a 122-96 victory and extend its winning streak to nine games.
Victor Wembanyama's incredible start to the 2026-27 season has also placed him alongside Shaquille O'Neal in NBA history. Through his first 10 games, the Spurs star averaged 29.1 points, 12 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game, becoming the only player besides O'Neal in the last 50 seasons to average at least 29 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks over that stretch. Shaq previously accomplished the feat with the Lakers during the 2001-02 season.Beyond the individual numbers, Wembanyama's comments highlight how much he is enjoying San Antonio's collective success as the Spurs continue their impressive run.
