This might shock some people but Steph Curry is currently the most popular player in the NBA. He’s made his jumpshot just as exciting as a LeBron James dunk, and every kid in the world wants to be him right now. His handle is sick, the team he plays for is dominant, and he’s got some cool shoes. Even NBA legends want to be him.

Yep, that’s one of the fathers of basketball, Bill Russell, wearing a pair of Foam Curry 1’s while he’s talking to the brand player on his shoes. So who’s more excited to meet who in this moment? Curry obviously has to know he’s talking to one of the greatest to ever play the game, but that person is wearing his shoes. Does that flatter or him, or does he realize that he’s so great that even legends respect him? Is Russell secretly a huge Steph Curry fan, or are his shoes just that comfortable? What could they be talking about? Why is Curry not mic’d up right now? This is a moment that needs audio!
This is going to be a really cool picture 20-30 years from now when Curry is a legend of the game talking about his playing days and he can talk up that time Bill Russell was wearing his shoes.
