Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick recently revealed that his family had to evacuate their home due to a tragic fire incident in Los Angeles. During this incident, his sons lost their basketball collections. In a heartfelt gesture, Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul gifted signed jerseys to JJ’s sons. Recently, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry also joined in, offering his signed jersey to them as well.
The Lakers recently played the Warriors in an intense game at Chase Center. Stephen Curry scored 13 points and made nine assists in 32 minutes, but the Warriors lost 108-118 to the Lakers. Despite the defeat, Curry won the hearts of many after the game. According to Dave McMenamin, Curry’s bodyguard approached JJ Redick after the game with a couple of Steph’s jerseys to give to his sons, helping to replenish their memorabilia collection that had been lost in the fires.
When this news broke on X (formerly Twitter), NBA fans flooded the comment section with high praise for the all-time three-point leader. Many fans expressed their gratitude to Curry for his kind gesture towards Redick’s sons, while some Lakers fans even invited Curry to join the Lakers.

LeBron James Discusses Effective Defense Tactics Against Stephen Curry
Superstars LeBron James of the Lakers and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors share a notable mutual respect. Both athletes had the opportunity to play alongside each other on the USA men’s basketball team during the recent 2024 Paris Olympics.
Since their time together, speculation regarding the potential of these two legends joining forces in the NBA has emerged, although no official announcements have been made thus far. During a post-game reflection after facing the Warriors, James articulated his views on effectively defending against Curry, and his observations were instrumental in their performance during the matchup.
“Just hope that he missed. It’s Steph, man. You just hope that he miss. Put bodies in front of him, and you just hope that he miss,” James said.
