Key Points:
- A fan who stormed the court during Game 1 of the NBA Finals was arrested and received a lifetime ban from all NBA arenas, with a second individual also banned for their involvement.
- The fan ran onto the court shouting "Wemby, Wemby" and attempted to take a selfie with Victor Wembanyama and Mitchell Robinson during the Knicks' 105-95 victory.
- Security quickly removed the fan, halting play for about a minute at a crucial point when the Knicks were mounting a comeback.
- Wembanyama appeared amused by the fan’s attempt, while Robinson looked confused; the incident was described as minor by Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson.
- The game resumed with a jump ball, and Wembanyama noted his surprise at the situation, comparing it to a previous unusual event involving a bat on the court.
