To the average person, the 6’ 2” Stephen Curry is quite tall. In the basketball world, however, the Warriors guard is one of the more diminutive superstars that the NBA has seen.
The same cannot be said for Spurs rookie center Victor Wembanyama. The No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft has taken the league by storm so far this preseason, and for good reason. He possesses incredible shooting and ball-handling ability—two attributes that also set Curry apart—while being listed at 7’ 4”.
Curry’s sharpshooting has helped change basketball. He does things on the court that few can even dream of. Beating a man more than a foot taller than him for a jump ball, however, is not one of them.
