The NBA regular season is just around the corner. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are set to kick things off against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Before the highly anticipated opener, Curry made a special appearance on ESPN’s Monday Night Football during Week 7, where he joined Scott Van Pelt for a halftime segment. During his time on the show, Curry took the opportunity to show support for the Carolina Panthers, his hometown team.
“Absolutely. Go Panthers!” Curry said.
The Panthers have faced a challenging year after deciding to bench Bryce Young. As of Week 7, the Panthers have lost four straight games and have managed only one win.
Despite the team’s tough times, Curry, the longest-tenured Warriors star, remains loyal to his hometown team. His support shines through, even in difficult moments. Van Pelt, however, couldn’t resist teasing the Warriors star, replying with, “Good luck with that.”

“Steph is just one of those people who is a great human being, and that made me want to get back better, faster in a sense, because I didn’t know I reached him like that when I was there to be honest with you,” Oubre said.
Kelly Oubre spent just one season with the Golden State Warriors after being acquired in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020. During his time with the team, he played 55 games alongside Curry, averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.
