Leading players of both the Warriors and Spurs franchises will be unavailable tonight as the teams get ready to clash. Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama are out due to ankle sprains. But a special someone, particularly Steph, arrived to make the matchup more glamorous.

Tennis legend Roger Federer is at Chase Center, and although he didn’t get to watch Curry’s famous pregame ritual, he has the NBA world going crazy. The Warriors’ official handle tweeted the photo of the two legends with the caption, “Iconic.”

This isn’t the first time that Roger Federer has come up as a pleasant surprise for the Golden State. Around seven years ago, when the GSW was playing an exhibition game in Shanghai, Federer was also in town for a tournament. He arrived at the Dubs’ locker room and met all the players, and the visit inspired Curry a lot. Roger, who was 36 at the time, had relayed the secrets of staying in top shape as we grow older to Curry, who himself is at the brink of turning 36.

And an important aspect was the ritual! The 20x Grand Slam Champion’s love for his family is on par with Curry’s. It’s obvious in his everyday ritual, which includes making breakfast for his four kids, dropping them at school, and starting training. The Switzerland native is 42 years old now, and therefore, it’s important to figure out the “right training methods” to stay fit.

A look at his accomplished tennis career is enough to know the level of competitiveness Roger Federer is capable of. And that is something he holds dear to this day. Another trait that he shares with the NBA’s all-time three-point leader. But the greatness in that one frame just can’t keep X users from sharing their pure ecstasy!

Fans are taking to X to showcase their love for arguably two of the greatest icons in their respective field. But more importantly, they are even better humans. A Curry fan posts a simple comment that says a lot.

Another fan feels the need to show rather than just state what he’s feeling. And he goes ahead with a GIF that pretty much explains his emotions on the matter.
