Isiah Thomas defended Victor Wembanyama, claiming he has been subjected to excessive physical play during the NBA Finals, countering perceptions of him as a “dirty” player. Thomas likened the treatment Wembanyama receives to the “hack-a-Shaq” strategy used against Shaquille O’Neal, emphasizing that big men typically retaliate against such aggression. Despite recent criticism from Knicks fans over Wembanyama’s actions in Game 3, the NBA did not penalize him. The Spurs now trail the Knicks 3-1 in the series as they head into Game 5.
