Amidst the full swing of the offseason, one of the rarest talents in the NBA is causing quite a stir across diverse domains. Beyond his remarkable prowess on the hardwood, Stephen Curry is making headlines in various spheres. The 35-year-old superstar appeared alongside his teammate Klay Thompson in The Match before winning the ACC Golf Tournament last month. Shortly after, his long-awaited documentary “Underrated” launched on Apple TV+. Not one to rest for long, he took on a flavorful challenge by appearing on the renowned spicy interview show, Hot Ones.

Now, in a highly distinct role, Curry found a way to capture attention and make the crowd move to his rhythm. Upon returning from this romantic getaway in Greece with his wife, Ayesha Curry, he continued to revel in his basketball hiatus. He decided to enhance his leisure by leading a Paramore concert.

While the snippets did not take time before spreading like wildfire on the internet, Stephen Curry shared his personal BTS on his Instagram handle. The set of photos and videos showcased Steph and Ayesha, along with the crew of Paramore. One video captured the moment Steph went on stage before dwelling on a stretch of music and emotions.

“Tonight, we’re going to sing something together. And listen, from the moment Steph takes the mic, this is no longer a Paramore show. This is a Steph Curry show,” Hayley told the crowd before the superstar took the lead.

The crowd erupted in wild excitement as Stephen took complete control of the concert. He belted out the number one song on the list of the 10 greatest Paramore songs, “Misery Business“.
