The duel between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the semifinals of the NBA Cup made a lasting impression last weekend. Led by a Victor Wembanyama determined, the spurs managed to bring down the reigning champions, beaten only once this season. A shock that calls for others between the two young teams armed to the teeth and with crazy potential. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander obviously couldn’t dodge the question about the budding rivalry between the two franchises.
« It’s possible yes. There’s a real chance it could become a rivalry. They are young, they are really good, they play the right way. It’s possible. I noticed that anything can happen in the space of two years », entrust the MVPs.
The Thunder are obviously ahead since OKC already won the title last year while San Antonio is chasing its first qualification in the playoffs since the Wembanyama draft. But the balance of power could be balanced in the years to come at the rate of the development of the French but also of Stephon Castle, Dylan Harperetc. In any case, it promises great battles in the future.
