Bryce Young Meets Panthers superfan Steph Curry 

Steph Curry has long been Bryce Young’s favorite basketball player and someone that Young looks up to as a fellow professional athlete. Although he may have caught Steph on a wrong night, as the Lakers delivered a 127-97 whooping to the Warriors, Young was still able to catch up with a long-time superfan of the Panthers. Curry was born and raised in South Carolina and has been a long time Panthers fan all his life.

 Steph Curry even took out time to meet up with Bryce Young during his pregame warmups. And now, Young just so happens to be the latest QB in town for Curry’s childhood team. In fact, Steph tried to buy out the Panthers from their current management but was held up owing to ownership disputes caused by NBA rules. Either way, safe to say, if Young takes the Panthers to great heights through his play, he might soon make Steph’s list of favourites too.
