While the fans were looking forward to a great game between the Warriors and the Spurs, no one expected the game to tip off in a wild sequence. To everyone?s shock, Warriors 6?3 guard Stephen Curry faced 7?4 rookie Victor Wembanyama for the jump ball.

The routine jump ball turned into a historic moment as the superstars from two eras stood face to face. Steph was barely reaching the chest of Wemby, but that did not stop him from giving it his all to secure the jump ball. However, the 7?4 rookie is too tall and tipped the ball with ease.

The fans at Chase Center applauded Steph?s effort and were happy that they got to witness the historic moment.

Chef Curry will try to maintain the same focus and energy throughout the game as he is looking to keep the Warriors undefeated in the preseason. The Warriors have never faced a player like Wembanyama, who is basically a guard in a Center?s body.

Can Victor Wembanyama singlehandedly beat the Warriors?

Victor Wembanyama started the game hot as he scored 15 points in the first half, giving his team a substantial lead over the Warriors. Wemby has dominated his opponents through the preseason, and he hopes to end the Warriors winning streak tonight. Stephen Curry and Co. have not lost since they added Chris Paul to their roster, and Wembanyama wants to change that.

However, no lead is too big for the Warriors to overcome. They proved that in the last game when Stephen Curry led the Warriors to an 18-point comeback against the Sacramento Kings. Curry ended the game with a game-winning three over De?Aaron Fox, leaving the crowd in a frenzy.
