What it was like
The last time these two teams met in the Finals, Tim Duncan was 23 years old.
That was 1999. San Antonio won in five games. Now it's 2026, and the Spurs are back — not with Duncan, but with Victor Wembanyama: 22 years old, 7'4", the most unusual player the sport has produced in a generation, in his first Finals. On the other side: the New York Knicks, who haven't won since 1973, who've been waiting 53 years for this, who arrived on an 11-game playoff winning streak and are not here to lose.
San Antonio hosts Games 1, 2, and 5. New York takes Games 3, 4, and 6. Game 7 goes back to San Antonio on June 19th.
The story: Wembanyama is the reason to watch even if you have no rooting interest. He's 22, in his third season, doing things without a comparison in the history of the sport — and doing them in the Finals for the first time. If you've been waiting to understand what the fuss is about, this is the series to watch it happen.
On the other side: Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are carrying New York. The Knicks have the winning streak and the hunger. The Spurs have home court and the generational talent. De'Aaron Fox, acquired at the trade deadline, and Dylan Harper, Rookie of the Year, are alongside Wembanyama. Neither team came here to hand it to the other.
Tickets: Through the home team's official arena site — Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Madison Square Garden in New York. Resale prices are moving and will move with the series. Game 7, if it gets there, is June 19th in San Antonio.
For the neutral: find a bar with a good screen and no distractions. Wembanyama in the Finals is something you'll want to have watched while it was happening.
