Former NBA player Rashad McCants took Victor Wembanyama's side after the San Antonio Spurs superstar got criticized by Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki before the NBA Cup semifinals game between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder last Saturday.

The NBA Cup match-up between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder gives us the first meeting with extra incentive for a budding young NBA rivalry. Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren have shown an intensity on the court when playing against each other to start the feud.

Chet Holmgren dunked the ball during a fast break highlight in the Thunder's NBA Cup semifinal showdown against the Spurs on Saturday.

Shoving Chet Holmgren to the ground, Grayson Allen was up to his usual antics. A couple of hard-fought plays between both players finally boiled over. Both teams went at it as the Oklahoma City Thunder were in the middle of an eye-popping 138-89 NBA Cup win over the Phoenix Suns.

Chet Holmgren leads the early Defensive Player of the Year race as his elite on-court impact powers the Thunder to one of the NBA’s top defenses.

The media keeps pushing a Victor Wembanyama vs. Chet Holmgren storyline, but OKC's head coach Mark Daigneault put an end to that with his on-court decisions.

In the final days of the 27th annual Chet Buchanan Show Toy Drive, a convoy of Metro Police and SWAT officers deliver more than 1,000 bikes in honor of a 9-year-old killed in a deadly crash. It's day 9 of 12 for 98.5 KLUC's Chet Buchanan holiday toy drive. FOX5 Las Vegas has a surprise for him.
