The historic collapse of the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals was held in the final shadow. NBA star Victor Wembanyama was hit by an egg that appeared to be thrown in jest by Knicks fans when the Spurs returned to the team hotel.

Videos circulating on social media show at least one egg being thrown at Wembanyama as security forces escorted him into a New York City hotel. These are the latest incidents affecting Knicks fans in recent days.

The aftermath of San Antonio’s Game 3 victory spilled over outside the arena, as social media videos appeared to show Knicks fans literally confronting Spurs fans. Some of those Spurs fans were seen having their jerseys snatched during the exchange, which made Wembanyama criticize this action.

“My thoughts are the same [are] that we will not forget that it is a game,” he said. “We are playing a game over there. I am all for passion, but [with] mutual respect. It’s unacceptable.”

The reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year wasn’t alone in this opinion, as ESPN host Mike Greenberg expressed similar sentiments after Game 4.

“If you’re throwing eggs at Victor Wembanyama and hitting people… making threats… or doing anything to people wearing Spurs jerseys, just know that you’re a disgrace. You’re not a disgrace to this city, you’re a disgrace to everyone you know,” Greenberg, a New York native, said on Thursday’s “Wake Up.”

“And that should go without saying. We live in a world now where somehow things don’t go without saying anymore,” Greenberg continued. “You’re a disgrace and everyone around you knows it.”
