In a preseason game between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, Steph Curry faced off against 7-foot-3 1/2-inch Victor Wembanyama for a jump ball. Despite Curry's enthusiasm, the height difference was evident, and Wembanyama easily won the tip-off. Social media users praised the matchup, calling it the "greatest jump ball in NBA history." Although Curry lost the actual tip-off, some fans felt he won in their eyes. Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick, has been impressive in the preseason after a challenging start in the NBA Summer League, averaging 19.3 points and five rebounds in three preseason games.
