Ever since the Paris Olympics, the duo’s friendship has been in the limelight. While they were in London for the showcase games, Steph and Booker even arrived in the same car from a session of golf. Meanwhile, the rest of their teammates took individual cars. Imagine the heartwarming sight where Chef Curry has his ‘Wardell 30’ and D Book has his Red Wings golf bag, and the two stars are bonding over golf and basketball. On top of that, Steph even backed head coach Steve Kerr calling Booker the “Unsung MVP” of the Olympics as he shared the quote on his IG story and wrote, “Damn Straight!!!” Sure enough, fans cannot wait to see the two superstars join forces once again.

One netizen even claimed that Curry and Kerr taught Booker how he could be the next Klay Thompson during their Paris trip. Well, under Kerr’s leadership, Booker did play the three and D role, which Klay played for most of his career in Golden State.
