Victor Wembanyama Left Out of Bleacher Report’s Top NBA Big Three Ranking After Knicks’ Title Run

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs fell short in Bleacher Report’s fresh ranking of the NBA’s best big threes: and the Knicks’ championship trio now sits alone at No. 1.

Bleacher Report’s list, published on 15 Jul 2026, placed the Knicks ahead of the Spurs, Thunder, Cavaliers, and 76ers. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby earned the top spot after leading New York to its first title in 53 years.

What happened?

Bleacher Report’s ranking dropped on 15 Jul 2026, naming the Knicks’ trio the NBA’s best. The Spurs: featuring Victor Wembanyama: landed outside the top five despite reaching the Finals. Brunson, Towns, and Anunoby beat the Hawks, 76ers, and Cavaliers in the playoffs before outlasting the Spurs in a five-game Finals.

Why it matters for Victor Wembanyama

The ranking shows how much the Knicks’ core is now viewed over other title contenders. Wembanyama’s Spurs pushed New York to the brink in Game 4, rallying from 29 points down before falling in Game 5. Still, the loss leaves San Antonio’s big-three experiment short of the top tier in this fresh evaluation.

Where the Spurs landed

Bleacher Report’s list placed the Spurs sixth overall. The Thunder, Cavaliers, and 76ers rounded out the top five. New York’s trio finished ahead of four teams built around established stars or deep runs.

What comes next?

The Knicks enter Summer League with their core intact and a target on their back. Wembanyama and the Spurs will look to regroup after their Finals loss. Bleacher Report’s ranking adds pressure on San Antonio to prove its big three belongs among the league’s elite.
