The $30 million center's uphill battle

The San Antonio Spurs are staring at a 2-0 deficit in the NBA Finals, but Victor Wembanyama's impressive stats and past precedents suggest they can still turn the series around.. Wembanyama, the 22-year-old center, has been averaging 29 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game.

As the Spurs' reserve center, Luke Kornet, pointed out, every game is an individual one, and the team must perform well in the next 48 minutes to stay in contention.

The Spurs' Game 3 win was crucial, as a 3-0 hole is much different from a 2-1 deficit. Wembanyama is the best player in this series, and his team has a chance to flip the script.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2021 NBA Finals comeback

The Bucks' 2021 NBA Finals comeback serves as a precedent for the Spurs' potential turnaround. Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks dropped the first two games of the series, but they won Games 3 and 4 at home and rolled to a six-game series vcitory.

Antetokounmpo was the best player in that series, and he can inspire Wembanyama to do the same. The Bucks' 2021 comeback shows that even a 2-0 deficit is not insurmountable.

LeBron James' 2007 NBA Finals experience

LeBron James' Cavaliers dropped the first two games of the 2007 NBA Finals, but they lost Games 3 and 4 at home and got swept from the series.. James was only 22 years old at the time, and he carried an ill-equipped team to the Finals, where he met Tim Duncan, one of the greatest players ever.

While the Spurs' situation is different from the Cavaliers', James' experience serves as a reminder that even the best players can have off nights .
