Knicks superfan Ben Stiller's immediate reaction to Victor Wembanyama being named NBA 2K27 cover athlete

Victor Wembanyama’s naming as the NBA 2K27 cover athlete sparked a rapid response from New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller, reflecting the broader spotlight on the NBA’s 2026 Finals matchup. The 2026 NBA Finals featured the Knicks versus the San Antonio Spurs, a series many expected to be close. Instead, New York defeated San Antonio in just five games, led by Jalen Brunson, who also won NBA Finals MVP. While fans anticipated Brunson to headline the NBA 2K27 standard edition cover, Wembanyama earned the honor. After seeing the decision, Stiller used a three-word tweet to remind Spurs supporters of the Finals loss, in the context of New York’s late-series dominance.
