The San Antonio Spurs head into a hostile environment that is Madison Square Garden, down 0-2 in the NBA Finals to the New York Knicks.
The Spurs failed to take care of home court advantage and now have a steep mountain to climb with the next two games being on the road. It will be a difficult challenge for this young Spurs team, but this wild LeBron James and Dwyane Wade stat may give San Antonio fans some ease that links it with Victor Wembanyama.
The Zodiac GM on X revealed a wild stat where every team that engineered a massive Finals comeback in the last 20 years was led by a Capricorn, including Wade in 2006 and James in 2016.
Wembanyama, who was born on January 4, falls under that category.
Will a Capricorn leader (Wembanyama) rise to the occasion once again?
The scary part? Every team that engineered a massive Finals comeback in the last 20 years was led by a Capricorn.
• 2006: Dwyane Wade (Capricorn) → Heat erase 0-2 deficit
• 2016: LeBron James… https://t.co/Tm6zzwV0Sf

The 22-year-old superstar and his Spurs team are in uncharted waters. While they came back down 3-2 in their previous series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Knicks have proven to be a juggernaut of their own.
Victor Wembanyama and Spurs facing tall task in NBA Finals
Wembanyama and the Spurs are looking to the impossible, but if someone can do it, it is the two-time All-Star. The Frenchman is considered a generational talent and is on a trajectory of one day being the greatest of all time in the sport.
He has a long way to go in that department, and the Knicks are looking to delay that, at least for this season.
The stat is certainly an odd one, but one worth noting. However, the edge that Wade and James had at the time was that they were going back to their home crowds for Game 3; Wembanyama and the Spurs do not have that advantage.
Add in the fact that the Knicks have not hosted an NBA Finals game since 1999, and the challenge facing the Spurs becomes even greater.
The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden is expected to be electric, and the Knicks will undoubtedly be energized by returning home. Still, this young Spurs team has shown throughout the postseason that it can overcome the odds, and it will be looking to do exactly that once again.
