Mike Greenberg Rips 'Disgraceful' Fan Behavior During NBA Finals

June 11, 2026 - 22:19

Mike Greenberg has been a die-hard New York Knicks fan for as long as anyone can remember, but even he has a line he won't cross. Following the Knicks' historic comeback against the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, where they erased a 29-point deficit, the celebration took an ugly turn. A fan in the stands threw an object at Victor Wembanyama as the rookie was walking off the court. Greenberg did not hold back, calling the behavior "disgraceful" during his radio show the next morning.

He made it clear that while he loves the passion of Knicks fans, there is no excuse for putting players in danger. Greenberg pointed out that Wembanyama is not just a star for the Spurs, but a generational talent for the entire league. He argued that incidents like this give the entire fan base a black eye, especially during a championship series. Greenberg also reminded listeners that security should have zero tolerance for such actions, and that the fan involved should face a lifetime ban from the arena. He stressed that celebrating a win is fine, but it must never cross into physical aggression or disrespect toward the opposing team.
