Stephen Curry finds himself officially between a rock and a hard place. With the Super Bowl LVIII just around the corner, the Warriors superstar’s loyalty is tested. On one side is his golf buddy and close friend, Patrick Mahomes. On the other side is the San Francisco 49ers, his home team.

Not to mention the 49ers were present last night and rooting for the Dubs as they won against the 76ers. Yet, the post-game presser saw Steph treading a fine line.

The presence of San Francisco footballers definitely would give rise to the next question – Curry’s prediction. And his response was quite diplomatic. “I mean, obviously, being here [in the Bay], you’d love to see the Niners get it done. I do love Mahomes and Kelce,” Steph said, suggesting he wouldn’t mind if the Chiefs won it too.

Elaborating further on their camaraderie, Chef Curry says that the trio played golf this summer and have a pretty solid relationship. The friendship of Mahomes and Travis Kelce is a rare bond; one not found easily. And it seems like they extended an invitation to Curry to be part of the same.

He says that the Curry family also has a “win-win” mentality. So, whoever wins it all is a victory in the books of the Curry household. And if that wasn’t confusing enough, the 4x champion added, “obviously the hometown team — how long has it been since they won? You’d love to see that.” 

So while Stephen Curry would love to see his home team grab that long-evading trophy, he wouldn’t be upset if the Mahomes-Kelce duo repeated their win. Meanwhile, the 49ers took some time off to watch San Francisco’s basketball hero do his magic. And maybe, get his full support for the NFL championship.
