I guess Steph Curry (coming in at 6-foot-2) just wanted to see what it was like jumping with Victor Wembanyama, who is 7-foot-4. Maybe it would be fun for him (or maybe it was an intimidation thing?), and it’s not even the regular season, so it wouldn’t count for anything .
But in the Golden State Warriors’ preseason game against Wemby’s San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Curry took the opening tip-off against the rookie sensation, and everyone on X shared the video of a determined-looking Curry taking it seriously before Wembanyama got it with ease.
Here you go. This is some fun stuff and the crowd loved it:

Pop on the Wemby vs. Curry opening tip: "I thought that was pretty funny. It was great. Steve's got a great sense of humor."
