What happened: Speaking with 60 Minutes in an excerpt shared by The Athletic, Victor Wembanyama assessed what the championship series taught him about his own game: "It showed my limits more than anything else." The reflection accompanied his response to drawing the ire of the New York Knicks crowd on the league's biggest stage.

Why it matters: Evaluations from a deep postseason run often shape how a centerpiece player approaches conditioning and skill development over the following campaign.

What to watch: The full 60 Minutes profile will air on CBS as the regular season continues.
