Steph Curry, the four-time NBA champion and one of the greatest shooters in basketball history, recently opened up about a cherished memory involving the late Kobe Bryant during his rookie year.
In an interview on Hot Ones Game Show, Curry recalled a game against the Lakers at home. As a young player, Curry found himself in awe of the basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. Little did he know that a memorable interaction was about to unfold.
During the game, Curry noticed Kobe lean over to the person sitting next to him and mouth the words, “Yo, like he’s nice.” This simple gesture from Kobe, acknowledging Curry’s skills on the court, meant the world to the young rookie.
For Steph Curry, that moment served as a powerful validation from one of the sport’s icons, leaving an indelible impact on his career. The memory stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Kobe Bryant and his influence on the next generation of basketball stars, including Curry himself.
“It’s my rookie year. We were playing the Lakers at home… [Kobe] leans to the guy sitting next to him… and kinda mouths, ‘Yo, like he’s nice.’ That’s the dopest thing in the world. Kobe is validating your game,” the Warriors superstar said, via ClutchPoints.
