Stephen Curry received a grand welcome upon his arrival in China for his Curry Training Camp ‘World Tour,’ where he will be conducting sessions over the next few days. Thousands of fans crowded the streets to greet the Golden State Warriors superstar, while a breathtaking drone and light show lit up the night sky.
The display featured thousands of drones forming the image of a basketball swishing through a hoop, with Curry’s signature on the ball adding an impressive level of detail. Multiple buildings glowed with vibrant colors, leaving NBA fans online amazed at the scale of the tribute.
Reactions quickly poured in across social media:
- “A foreign country is doing more for him than the Warriors front office.”
- “Better than fireworks.”
- “They ain’t doing this for LeBron. They ain’t doing this for Jordan. Face of the league.”
Curry wasted no time after landing, appearing on livestreams and launching the first day of his training camp within hours. He now joins a growing list of NBA players visiting China this offseason, including James Harden and Jalen Williams, with Kawhi Leonard expected to arrive soon.
China remains one of the NBA’s biggest international markets, and with commissioner Adam Silver considering global expansion, fans speculate that China could eventually play a key role. Ambassadors like Curry may help push basketball toward a truly global stage where champions can be crowned against the world’s best.
Curry is not alone on this trip—UConn star Azzi Fudd, who represents his brand, has also joined him. While Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox was initially expected to be part of the tour, he withdrew weeks earlier for undisclosed reasons.
