Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry had a great time with his nation, Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Recently, Curry attended an event to interact with his fans. While the Warriors star is used to meeting fans all over the world, one young fan in the present was floored after witnessing his idol for the first time.
A video of the little fan’s emotions when he met the Golden State Warriors star has gone viral on social media. Following the event, the child went on to call Curry the best point guard of all time. In addition, he was in awe and cupped his mouth after watching Curry standing right in front of him. Curry handled the situation gracefully.
Curry said, “Nice to meet you” and also asked for the boy’s name. “My name is Jay,” the boy replied. Curry recognized the significance of this occasion for Jay and kept the conversation going by asking how he was. In addition, Jay also asked Curry for an autograph on his jersey. The NBA star happily obliged and signed his jersey which left the young boy beaming with joy.
Social media has made people less aware of such wonderful instances. Hence, it’s wonderful to see sportsmen living up to the high expectations of fans and youngsters. On the other hand, Curry will be focused on having a great season with his Warriors side. He endured a difficult 2023-24 NBA season and will be looking to make amends in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.

Notably, Curry signed a one-year, $62.6 million agreement, effectively ending any summer debate regarding his future with the franchise. Interestingly, Curry also stated in a recent interview with The Athletic that his ‘complete focus’ is on basketball.
You have an appreciation for the position and the opportunity and the support from people who’ve been with you on the journey. I’ve always said I wanted to play for one team my whole career. So it’s good to get (the extension) question out of the way and give complete focus to basketball and to the season.

A lot of expectations will be on Curry to deliver for the Warriors this upcoming season. Hence, it remains to be seen now how Curry will perform for the Warriors in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
