The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs put on a show for fans on Friday night. While it's of course just the preseason, both Steph Curry and Victor Wembanyama are must see television, and the two shared a viral moment to start this game when Curry lined up against Wembanyama for the jump ball:

This was just the beginning of the excitement this game would bring, as Wembanyama showed off his shooting, defense, and all-around skill in a dominant first half of play. While Curry and the Warriors did not look quite as sharp, it was still exciting to see one of the greatest players of this generation face off against the future of the league.

Following this viral tip-off, Wembanyama dazzled with 15 points in the first half to go along with four blocks and some impressive perimeter defense as well. The rookie sensation remained in the game following halftime to show off more of his game, and continues to look more impressive with each preseason contest he gets under his belt.

Perhaps hesitant at times during his limited Summer League action, Wembanyama is looking confident, and for good reason. There is truly nothing he cannot do on the basketball court, and that was on full display in this preseason contest vs. Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
