Stephen Curry Once Paused His Golf Round to Hop a Fence and Give Some Lucky Fans an Unforgettable Shooting Lesson in Their Backyard

Stephen Curry once paused his golf round to hop a fence and give some lucky fans an unforgettable shooting lesson in their backyard.

“Steph Curry once paused his golf round to hop a fence and give some lucky fans an unforgettable shooting lesson in their backyard.”

Stephen Curry has carved his name in NBA history by becoming the all-time leader in 3-pointers made, and he’s stayed modest throughout. The Golden State Warriors point guard is recognized as one of today’s most altruistic athletes, and no tale exemplifies this more than the day he skipped a game of golf to jump a fence and play some baskets with some very fortunate fans.

Stephen Curry is one of just a few “selfless superstars” in the NBA.

Curry is one of the most well-known and successful sportsmen on the globe, yet his behavior on and off the court belies that fact. Curry welcomed Kevin Durant to the Warriors after winning the MVP award in 2016, allowing him to take over as the team’s No. 1 scoring option late in games, and it paid off with two consecutive titles.

Although he holds the NBA record for 3-pointers made, the sniper has also given out more than 5,100 assists in his career. He’s one of the few really selfless superstars in professional sports.

That isn’t even my own words.

According to NBC Sports, Warriors player Andrew Wiggins remarked last year, “He makes everyone better.” “He’s like the most selfless celebrity.” That’s an excellent way of putting things. He draws so much attention that he’ll look for the open guy and make the appropriate moves.”

Off the court, he’s the same way.

Curry reportedly skipped a round of golf in order to play hoops with a group of fortunate fans.

Curry’s popularity stems in part from how he interacts with fans off the field. He’s never been one to turn down a request for a photo or signature.

He even skipped a golf game in order to offer a few fortunate fans a brief shooting instruction. Golf.com’s Josh Sens recently shared the touching tale.

“It seems that Curry, too, played a guest round at Lake Merced earlier this season, albeit his participation generated a little more of a commotion than mine,” Sens writes. Curry spots a pair of boys playing hoops in a backyard on what was then the 11th hole (the course is now undergoing renovations, and the original routing is being revised), a par-4 that runs along the edge of a residential area. So he puts down his clubs and walks over to the towering fence that divides the course from the houses, where he asks the bewildered youngsters if he may join them.

Um…sure?!

Curry leaps the barrier in an instant and offers the youngsters an impromptu shootaround they’ll never forget.”

Incredible.

The illustrious 3-point king

Curry’s immediate reaction after breaking the all-time 3-point mark earlier this week was to thank his teammates for making it possible.

“Because of everyone I got to suit up with,” Curry remarked, “this is a career milestone.” “Everyone that set screens for me, gave the ball to me, believed in our offense, believed in winning, and believed in the process.” So, this is a very unique individual.”

Curry also gave engraved Rolex watches to Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, his two teammates who have assisted on the majority of his career threes.

What’s not to enjoy about this guy?
