During Curry’s guest visit on the Warriors-focused podcast Dubs Talk, the question of whether Wembanyama is the greatest NBA outlier ever arose. Curry recognized a family friend and legendary former Charlotte Hornets player as the rightful recipient of that distinction right away.

Muggsy Bogues, a remarkable 5-foot-3 point guard who made an impact on NBA history from 1987 to 2001, was his choice. Bogues was a part of a legendary team that included Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning, as well as Steph Curry’s father, Dell.

Oh, Muggsy, without a doubt. You focus on the salient features. “It’s one thing to be an NBA player and understand the intensity and physicality of the game, but you’re just picturing a 5-foot-3 guy running around here,” he remarked.

Going one step further, Steph Curry said that Bogues accomplished much more than merely carry his weight: “It’s disrespectful to Muggs to just exist.” But more like controlling a team, making an impact on games, and inspiring dread in the hearts of some opponents. You are unable to sidestep him.

One month into the NBA season, the Victory Wembanyama hype train is still going strong.

Even after one month of the NBA regular season, the Victor Wembanyama hype train is still going strong. Following a year of intense curiosity about the 7-foot-4 rookie, the French powerhouse with guard-like skills has had a solid start to his professional career, averaging 19.2 points and 9.5 rebounds on 43% shooting from outside the arc.

The Warriors’ game against the Spurs late in the 2023 preseason was one of the most interesting games in the NBA all season. Wembanyama was expected to accept the tip, as usual. He didn’t anticipate that Curry, who is more than a foot shorter than him, would issue the challenge. Wemby was obviously even more perplexed by Curry’s self-assured manner in the lead-up to the event. The Frenchman easily won the jump ball, of course.
