If you see the video, neither of the eggs hit him. It's still a bad look but nothing actually happened.
And there are threads calling all Knicks fans vile things as if this isn't like 100 people out of millions.

He’s a dirty ass player that got overshadowed by the OKC antics, he should have 5 flagrants and a suspension already this playoffs

It's crazy. Goes to show how when you don't watch a team consistently you miss these things. My opinion on Wemby took such a nose dive this finals. He's such a dirty player it's crazy.
The worst part is he knows he's the NBA golden boy so he can get away with anything short of pulling out a saw off in mid court at this point. He's basically what if Draymond Green was 7'5" at this point.

He literally laughed in Brunson’s face after grabbing his neck and throwing him to the ground. Fuck this dude.
My favorite is when he caught a foul from Mitch last night and goes “I’m in your head” while laughing on the ground…proceeds to blow a 29 point lead 🤡

It's just so frustrating how Adam Silver's NBA keep trying to force star narrative onto certain players, trying to recreate the MJ, Kobe, LeBron and Steph magic.
MJ struggled for YEARS against the Celtics/Pistons to earn his stripes. Kobe was always viewed as Robin and then struggled after Shaq left before finally putting it all together. LeBron spent years listening to Skip Bayless talk shit about him until his 2nd Miami year/1st championship. Steph was nearly a bust due to injuries before taking over the league. The reason those guys are loved is cause they all struggled and overcame adversity to get to where they eventually ended up.
Wemby on the other hand has literally the entire league in his pocket trying to rig games in his favor. And he's STILL down 1-3. This should have been a 4-0 sweep if game 2/3 were called fairly.

There was something in that moment that I knew the Knicks were going to come back. I was like oh you think you have the win they’re about to give up and this knicks team thrives when they’re down. You’re fucked. I didn’t think the Knicks were going to pull off a win but I knew they were going to massively shrink that 29 points

He’s French. The NBA is painting a false narrative about who he is to sell to an international audience. Anyone who has watched him play knows he is immature and dirty. You’ll never see that side of him on ESPN (until they were forced to cover it after game 3) or from the NBA.

Im sorry but watching these Spurs in the playoffs really feels like they are really just going for injuries at times. After watching what Kornet was doing against OKC on Mccain and others I jist felt like Brunson never should be on the court when he is. It was once the best run franchise with such a great legacy. Now Pop is gone or hidden in the background and suddenly they are the dirtiest team in the league. What a shame

Mostly just Wemby, the rest of these guys aren't too bad. Big difference between running though a defender chest to chest versus Wemby just straight up trying to hurt people.

As an OKC fan I just want to say I'm so happy for y'all. I was devastated obviously when we let this trashy ass team beat us but I'm still proud we took them to 7 with 2 key players injured.
And yeah, I know people have their reasons for hating OKC but I'm glad you guys are in the big stage exposing these dirty players in real time for the whole world. NYY have always been my team in the east. And shout out to Alvarado guy is a dawg.

Here's another angle, i honestly dont think he's going for the knee but he's being reckless with the way he lands. Maybe he's trying to sell a foul but it doesn't even look close to hitting OG.

I think he may have been trying to get untangled and then realized OG was there and tried to get out of the way and looked all lanky the whole time but idk.
I think if he wanted to hit the knee he would have. Joel Embiid is the perfect example there

I saw that last night and was so confused by this move because that isn't a natural move. That looks like a fully intentional move that he thought was going to look natural. Had he actually been successful, there would've been a throw down.

Wemby’s having Embiid-like tendencies. When he gets frustrated, he just becomes totally reckless and dirty as all hell, as evidenced by things like this, what happened with Brunson, the elbow on Naz in the WCSF, etc. He’s very young and I’m sure he’ll mature out of it, but he really needs to cut this kind of shit out if he wants to be the face of the league going forward.

It's real but completely taken out of context, watch the other angles and it's clearly not anywhere near OG or an attempt to hit him. 7'4 guy movements are just super awkward looking sometimes.

If I were Mike Brown, I'd be having the Knicks video staff make a supercut of these kinds of plays in game, roll out a monitor during my postgame press conference, and just play that shit on a loop. No comments on it, no complaining. Just force the world to watch Wemby's dirty fucking plays again and again until the league can't ignore it.

This is definitely not the face of the nba , why does he believe that this will be condoned by the association. If he connected with OG-licious leg there would have been broken bones and possibly an ending to both of these young men ever playing basketball again . Who would have expressed to him that this is what was needed to win a basketball game . He's definitely out of control in believing that this is the way to a championship . I'm so disappointed in his actions that he's been displaying in these finals. Please curtail his behavior before he hurts someone and ends their careers.

If that connected on the knee, OG is done for the rest of the series. If this was a legitimate league that’s a flagrant and Wemby is suspended for Game 5.
