Wembanyama was asked today about his thoughts on playing in the world famous Madison Square Garden and his response was "It’s not as big as I expected.".

The Spurs are playing the Knicks tonight in MSG at 7:30pm EST.

These engagement accounts are flat out pathetic. Here's the full quote. He complimented the garden:

Well maybe MSG just got out of the pool.

That's what she said

Everything looks smaller to him. I mean he's like the 5th biggest person in the world

Tbf I always think that when I go there. It's kind of like a stage in how it's set up but you can get a good view from everywhere by design

Just like his scoring tonight

I know his full quote acknowledges the vibe of the arena, but I gotta be in the minority that thinks MSG is still wildly overrated. I've been to two games there and I actually think it's the least enjoyable place to watch a game of the six NBA arenas I've been to.

Is MSG really “world famous” or is it just a NYC stadium? Who cares anymore?

It’s ok, pretty nice. Nothing crazy though and the seats seem extra small

NYers make a big deal of ordinary things if they're in NYC.

I honestly don't get the hype about msg at all. If someone didn't tell you it was cool before you saw it.. you wouldn't think it was amazing.
