Video game covers don’t come with championship rings. Tell that to the marketing suits at 2K Sports, who just slapped San Antonio Spurs giant Victor Wembanyama on the cover of NBA 2K27. It was a decision that raised eyebrows, especially in New York. Just months ago, Jalen Brunson and the Knicks absolutely dismantled Wembanyama’s Spurs in a five-game Finals blowout. Brunson walked away with the Larry O’Brien trophy and the Finals MVP. Yet, somehow, he got snubbed for the digital box art.
Spurs fans, predictably, lost their minds. They flooded social media, using Wemby’s new gaming gig to trash-talk the actual champions. It was pathetic. Enter Ben Stiller. The Hollywood actor and die-hard Knicks mascot wasn’t about to let Texas revisionist history slide.
With a single, brutal three-word tweet, Stiller shut down the noise. He didn’t need a long-winded rant. He just pointed to the scoreboard. The Spurs’ young, hyped core choked away multiple leads during that 2026 series, proving that while Wembanyama might rule the virtual world, the real court still belongs to Gotham.
