The Herd with Colin Cowherd · Colin Cowherd Podcast Prime Cuts - Wemby Is The Best Player In The World, Secret To The Knicks Success, OKC’s Offseason Moves · 6 Jun 2026 podcast

But I totally agree with you, Colin, because all the things that I said involving Shea I think are true.

Even had OKC won this series, I kind of was looking at Shea a little differently than I did before the series.

Because like...

Just frankly, we're at three postseasons now where there's like a giant cratering in his effectiveness relative to the regular season to the postseason.

But I just didn't think that the Spurs would be poised enough to go on the road and win such a big game.

And like, it's like Keldon Johnson, two massive threes in the fourth quarter.

Like enormous threes in the fourth quarter, right?

And then you have Dylan Harper hits that crazy step back three over SGA has that big offensive rebound putback.

Cornette has the block at the rim.

You have champagne.

He got red hot in the second half.

And I thought, honestly, one of the big stories of the game, like when he didn't have the most impressive box score game, I think he had 22 and seven or something like that.

But the story of the second half was they got into their pick-and-roll game, and every time Wemby rolls, the entire Thunder team just coalesces around him.

And that's how Champagne got hot.

That's how Keldon Johnson got going.

Those dudes are all wide open on the weak side because of the way that Wemby drags everybody towards the rim.

And this really is kind of the fundamental difference between the big-picture impact of a player offensively on a team is –

It's less about what you can do on the box score.

Can you generate lots of good shots for your team?

And Wemby right now, the reason he's the best player in the world is yes, he can do all these little things like game one, you guard him with wings.
