Stephen Curry knows how to be respected. A few minutes after beating the Minnesota Timberwolves with his club the Golden State Warriors (103-113) on the night of Saturday to Sunday in the NBA regular season, the 36-year-old American leader wanted to offer his shoes to a young supporter in the public but another older man decided otherwise and tried to collect them for him, thinking Curry wouldn't see anything.
Enough to greatly annoy the American basketball player who did not hesitate to make it known… and to intervene to resolve the situation. In a video posted on social networks, the MVP of the 2022 Finals sharply orders the man to return the gift. “Hey! Oh! Give 'em to the kid, man… Give 'em to him!” he shouted sharply, pointing to the child in question. All's well that ends well as the man finally obeyed the 2024 Olympic champion and returned the pair to the other young fan.
During this match against Minnesota in the Western Conference, Stephen Curry and his teammates returned to victory two days after their heavy defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies (144-93). After being almost silent on Thursday (0/7 on long shots and only two points), Curry woke up to score 31 points, including seven three-point baskets, and give 10 assists. An evening definitely full of emotions for Curry.
