After Stephen Curry fails, Klay Thompson also attempts to wrestle sumo wrestler Hakuho Sho.
The Golden State Warriors have traveled across the world to Japan to take on the Washington Wizards in two preseason matchups. Stephen Curry, klay thompson, and company. They couldn’t be more excited as they prepare to play in the first international match of this campaign.
Recently, during a practice session, the sumo wrestling GOAT: Haku Ho Sho – visited the GSW camp. After Sho exchanged pleasantries with the defending champions, he gave the team wrestling tips.
First, the reigning Finals MVP tried his hand at fighting Hakuho. Now the 37-year-old is a retired professional with a long list of impressive achievements under his belt. Unsurprisingly, the 185-pound Curry couldn’t move the 348-pound Mongolia.

Later, Klay tried to do the same thing. And similarly, the second Splash Brother also failed miserably.
"He's too– I can't… Nah nah he's too strong."

It’s absolutely delightful to see the Warriors embrace Japanese culture.
Hopefully, we’ll be entertained by an action-packed battle tomorrow.
