The Spurs Receive The Oscar Robertson Trophy As The 2025-26 NBA Western Conference Champions!

Now, for the presentation of the 2026 NBA Western Conference Finals trophies, please welcome NBCU's Maria Taylor.

Thank you.A very emotional, happy, and elated Spurs team here.The Western Conference Championship trophy is named after one of the greatest who ever do it.Big O, Oscar Robertson.And here to accept the Oscar Robertson trophy on behalf of the Western Conference Finals champion, Peter Holt, the Spurs Managing Director.Peter, trophy's yours.

Let's bring it in.You have had an incredible young team that has answered every single challenge.Can you describe what type of resolve they've showed you to make it to the NBA Finals this season?

Back in October, we knew we had a chance to be pretty good.And they've just given themselves to each other and to the program and everything that we've done.Oklahoma City is a hell of an organization.And what a series.And there's been a lot being talked about, and I think just words like competitiveness, resolve, togetherness, execution, habits, they don't give a damn about the word experience.

I'm guessing you knew before any of us did that they were going to come into this Game 7 and bring that trophy back to San Antonio.What were you guys discussing?What was going on as you prepared for this opportunity here tonight?

We didn't know.You have to go do it.But we played this team 12 times now.And we played them our last six games.And we know what we're made of and what we're built.And we had to go out and execute it.

And they did that.All right.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

All right.The Western Conference Finals Most Valuable Player Trophy is aptly named after one of the greatest ever.Magic.Johnson.The winner of the Magic Johnson Trophy as the 2026 Western Conference Finals Most Valuable Player, Victor Winvinyama.Congratulations, Winby, that's yours.

All right, Winby.You immediately were emotional when that clock hit double zero.Walk me through what was going through your mind as you celebrated with your team and they held you up.

Realizing that some part of a childhood dream is going to come true.Even though we're still hungry, we want more.This feeling is, I can't explain it, it's so powerful.

You guys had to withstand a lot of punches against the defending champion, and you had to come into their house to walk away with this championship and opportunity to play in the NBA Finals.Just describe the guys that are behind you and the confidence they instill in you.

They don't even know how much I love them.They're just incredible.Everybody stepped up tonight.We know everybody got each other's back.I love these guys.

It's so interesting, Wimby, because game one, we watch an MVP trophy get handed out, and then you get to walk away with this trophy.You win the Western Conference finals, and you are the finals MVP of the Western Conference.What does it mean for all of those things to come together in one series for you?

This doesn't mean anything but the fact that we're a team.We got that together in infamy for all of us and for all the fans right here.

Let me ask you something for the fans.You get to bring the NBA Finals Game 1 to San Antonio, and your first run in the postseason.What does that mean to you and your fan base?

It means everything.We want four more.We're not done.Go Spurs, go!Congratulations, guys.

Continue celebrating.Mike, back to you.Maria, thank you.
