If it were 2016, the highlight would have been Stephen Curry donning the ‘Derek Carr’ jersey after the Raiders swept the game against the Panthers. However, it’s already 2023, and Carr now plays for the New Orleans Saints. Well, Steph still has the friendship going.

With enough interest in American football itself, Curry is now a transcendent figure in the NBA and in basketball. The two were spotted at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans tonight.

A friendship that still stands was seen talking by the benches while the Golden Boy got ready to take on Zion Williamson and Co. It’s important to mention that Derek just hit the YouTube feed with the famous ‘Night-night’ gesture that he made on the fields yesterday. Indeed, the Saints registered a 38-27 win against the Indianapolis Colts a day before.

And the following day, Carr is on the hardwood to support Curry from off the court. Well, the two have much more similarities than you think. Starting off as great players since their college games, both have a growing career trajectory. Apart from having big brothers, both players had to defy the beliefs of the recruiting scouts to make their name in the big leagues.

It seems like the similarities in hardships and relationships keep the bond alive. The support remains with Steph and Ayesha in the stands to support Derek, while the latter graces the stadium to chant “Curry, Curry, Curry!”

The astonishing fact here is that Zion Willaimson has the hype that Steph once had. With speculations of being past his prime-time game, Steph is now a perfect fit for the 35-year-old image. With that in mind, it’s the second game for CP3, and he was not among the starting five. Draymond Green, taking the front seat, might get a win for the Warriors tonight.
