There is a novelty in indulgence, especially when you come to a new land. The Golden State Warriors are on tour in the Land of the Rising Sun. And it looks as though every player is out to indulge in the culture.
We saw a fan give Jordan Poole a cat figurine, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were enjoying Japanese snacks on their way out of the airport. The Warriors are out having fun.
They are about to play in a pre-season friendly against the Washington Wizards. And is this season’s first international game. The venue is in the iconic city of Tokyo and the fanfare has been stellar.
K-pop star Suga is also set to be in attendance for the games. But today, we got to see a video of Warriors point guard Stephen Curry getting sumo lessons.

Stephen Curry tries his best to move Sumo Wrestler but fails to even nudge him
Well, if you ever doubted a Sumo wrestler’s strength look no further than NBA’s beloved baby-faced assassin failed to move him, even for an inch!
We know how strong and well-grounded Sumo wrestlers are. But to see Steph, a 185-lbs, muscular athlete with a 6’3″ frame, fail to move him even slightly shows the difference in strength.
The video shows the Mongolian Wrestler teaching Steph some basic holds and grappling moves. As he applies them to the wrestler, he is met with a rude awakening. He barely nudges and Steph can’t help but crack a smile.
