For Stephen Curry, the pre-game routine isn’t just about warming up his legendary range, it’s about the connection too. During the last match-up against Hornets at Chase Center, the Warriors’ superstar went beyond the usual high-fives and autographs, turning a young fan’s dream into a viral reality. In a moment that’s already being called the highlight of the season by social media, Curry pulled a kid from the sidelines to be his primary playmaker for the night.

The young fans’ faces lit up with shock, awe, and then appreciation. It wasn’t just a basket, it was a walking lifetime memory made by a four-time champion for a young fan who probably hasn’t stopped smiling since.Another reason to add to his excitement is the Warriors’ 136-116 win over the Hornets, registering their 24th win of the season. With this win, Golden State is 16-6 at Chase Center this season.

Whether it’s signing a prosthetic leg or involving a kid in his layup line, Curry continues to prove that while his shooting makes him a star, his heart makes him an icon.
