Oklahoma City Thunder, Chet Holmgren vs. San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama is must-see TV

While much of the NBA is understandably infatuated with the rise of second-year star San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama, he is not the only 7-foot unicorn in the league’s Western Conference to keep an eye on. Oklahoma City Thunder star big man Chet Holmgren is no joke, and he and Wemby make for a budding mega-rivalry over the next half-decade onward.

And it is not just fans and analysts of the Thunder who are getting excited about that potential recurrent battle on the hardwood out West. National analysts like the hosts of ESPN’s “NBA Today” show are also gushing about seeing the two big men battle it out in 2024-25. Cohosts Tim Legler and Malika Andrews had plenty to say about the Thunder and the Spurs colliding this coming season.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the duo had to say about a reprisal of Chet vs. Wemby in the 2024-25 NBA Cup and beyond.
