Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry brought joy to unsuspecting fans during a casual stroll through London. The basketball icon, currently in Europe with Team USA for the upcoming Paris Olympics, decided to make an impromptu visit to the NBA Store in London.
Dressed incognito with a bucket hat and sunglasses, Curry blended in with the crowd as he wandered through the bustling streets of London. His low-key appearance lasted long, however, upon entering the NBA Store, Curry spotted a fan admiring his No. 30 Warriors jersey. With a playful smile, he approached the fan and struck up a conversation.
“You like that jersey?” Curry asked, catching the fan off guard. “That’s a nice jersey you got there. You gonna buy it? … I think that’s the best one in here.”
The fan, initially stunned, quickly realized who was speaking to them and was overjoyed by the encounter.

His surprise visit to the NBA Store not only made the day for many fans but also showcased his down-to-earth personality and genuine appreciation for his supporters.
