OKC fans hit Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama with ‘flopper’ chants before free throw

Oklahoma City fans decided to be ironic with their chants toward Victor Wembanyama during the Thunder’s clash with the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday night.

Going into the game, both teams are even at three games apiece. San Antonio won Games 1, 4 and 6 while Oklahoma City nabbed Games 2, 3 and 5. It’s officially a win or go home scenario for either side, fighting for a spot in the NBA Finals.

Wembanyama needed to deliver a big performance to give his team the best chance of winning, making big plays throughout the course of the game. He also had to absorb a lot of contact from opposing defenders, which often had him make intriguing reactions after the fouls. This prompted the opposing home crowd to taunt him with chants that referred to him exaggerating the contact.

“Flopper!” fans chanted towards Wembanyama.
