Victor Wembanyama is already creating rivalries in the NBA after just one preseason game.

In 19 minutes, the San Antonio Spurs center scored 20 points and pulled down five rebounds as his team fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 122-121. Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, squared off against Wembanyama. In 16 minutes, Holmgren, who missed much of the previous season due to a Lisfranc fracture, put up 21 points and 9 rebounds.

All through the night, Wembanyama and Holmgren sparred, but one exchange in particular stuck out.

Wembanyama demonstrated his strength by flexing past Holmgren for a and-1 early in the first quarter.

When Holmgren saw the video on social media, she responded right away.
