Wembanyama's 22-point haul was the cornerstone of a superb display as San Antonio stunned the reigning NBA champions 111-103 on the road to clinch a 4-3 Western Conference Finals series triumph.The win marked another dazzling milestone on Wembanyama's rise as the new face of the NBA, just three years after he was chosen by San Antonio with the No.1 pick in the 2023 draft.The 7ft 4in (2.24m) Frenchman was hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent when he landed in the NBA, with LeBron James famously saluting the towering youngster as more like an "alien" rather than a "unicorn."As the dust settled on Saturday's momentous win, Wembanyama wasted no time in turning his attention to the looming challenge posed by the Knicks, with game one of the best-of-seven series set for San Antonio on Wednesday."Winning the Larry O'Brien (NBA championship trophy) is a childhood dream, and having a real shot at it, having a tangible chance at winning it -- it's a lifetime chance," Wembanyama told a post-game press conference."You never know when it's gonna happen again. But the day we win it, speaking for myself, it's going to be an amazing day -- the realization of a dream," the 22-year-old said."It's hard to put into words. It's almost like the meaning of my life."Wembanyama was swift to pay tribute to the contribution of his team-mates in Saturday's win. No fewer than seven San Antonio players finished with double-digit points totals, reflecting an all-round offensive potency that helped the Spurs to a 62-20 record during the regular season, second only to Oklahoma City.'An unreal chance'
