SAN FRANCISCO – With the backing track building toward the famous chorus of “Wonderwall,” Warriors rookie Alex Toohey rose with the crescendo-ing pop ballad, both vocally and physically.
By the time the forward was ready to belt out “You’re my wonderwaaaaall,” he had ascended the Chase Center stairs and entered Section 21, mingling with gobsmacked fans (and at least a dozen security personnel) as Steph Curry and the rest of the Warriors vets looked on with amusement from the other side of the court.
It was that kind of Thursday night at Chase Center, full of laughs and fan-friendly moments, with only a smattering of basketball interspersed throughout.
Curry, who had delighted fans by swapping numbers with his younger brother Seth and wearing No. 31, called the event “a vibe.”
