Stephen Curry. That’s it. The name is just enough to send ripples through the world of basketball. And the effect reaches far beyond the United States and Europe. Just like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James, Curry has become a household name for every heart that thumps when the ball dribbles across the floor. Yet, what China offered the Baby-Faced Assassin on Monday was beyond comprehension. A respect like no other as the Warriors legend unravels his intent with Azzi Fudd by his side.

Curry has spent ten years turning the Curry Brand into a global magnet, and China has answered louder than anyone. The Curry 12 soared past expectations with a 40 percent sales spike, outshining its predecessor. Analysts credit his deep bond with Chinese fans, and Curry doubled down, returning once again to charm the market that fuels his brand’s fire.

Well, the Curry Brand signed De’Aaron Fox, and he was supposed to join the 37-year-old and his crew in Chongqing. However, earlier in July, the Spurs star announced that he won’t be attending the event. The reason? He’s recovering, grinding through 62 injury-filled games. But don’t worry, UConn Huskies’ star Azzi Fudd and Seth Curry joined Steph in China.

Walls near sidewalks carried splashes of Curry Brand graffiti. Trains wore Under Armour logos. Giant yellow balloons spelled his name across rooftops. A drone show lit up the sky with a basketball sailing through a hoop just for him.

The frenzy only grew louder outside his hotel, where fans gathered in waves, chanting and waving jerseys. Some leaned out of taxis with Steph’s name painted across their shirts. Others held custom-made figures of the Warriors icon. When the scenes went viral, Curry himself joined the party, sharing the electrifying welcome with his 58.1 million Instagram followers.
