San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama said they were trying to find a loophole, which would allow them to win the Skills Challenge, unfortunately they got disqualified.
The San Antonio Spurs duo of Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul came to the NBA Skills Challenge prepared with a unique strategy that would allow them to show the quickest time.
Both players decided to miss all the shots they had to take on purpose as quick as they can, since the teams don't get punished for missing all three shots on one obstacle. Unfortunately for them, they got disqualified.
Wembanyama said he doesn't regret they tried to find a loophole in the competition. He said they were not looking to put in minimal effort, but instead they wanted to find the best way to win the competition.
“I don’t regret it. I think it was a good idea,” Wembanyama commented on this idea, per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.
“I mean, if the challenge let’s us do that, there’s a loophole. It means we’re not a problem,” Wembanyama stated, according to Michael C. Wright of ESPN.
According to Draymond Green, it was Wemby's idea to miss all of the shots on purpose.
"In Wemby's defense, he did ask a lot of people if they can do it," Green said, via Dalton Johnson.
