“NBA isn’t as big as you think” – Stephen Curry freely roaming streets of London unrecognized has fans puzzled

Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is one of the most recognized players in the basketball community and is loved and admired by most of the NBA fans around the world. Notably, Curry was on a stroll in London ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics and fans were baffled at how Curry went unrecognized in the streets of London, questioning their sport’s popularity in the world.

It’s important to note that, football/soccer is one of the most followed sports in London, England and that could be one of the reasons why Curry was roaming freely in the streets, unrecognized. However, Curry is one of the most popular players in basketball alongside LeBron James in this era, and very few people recognizing the Warriors star is still quite puzzling.

In the video making rounds on the internet, Curry is seen touring different places in London, with no one in particular recognizing him. One fan was amazed by this and he took to X to put forward his views regarding this situation.

Curry is currently preparing with his national side, Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics. He will be fully focused on delivering the gold medal for the 5th time in history for his nation and his fans this year. It remains to be seen how Curry and Co. will perform in the 2024 Paris Olympics, with immense competition surrounding them this time.

Fans react to Stephen Curry roaming freely in London

Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry has been making the headlines lately after a recent viral video of him roaming in the streets of London, unrecognized went viral. However, one of the best payers of this era going unrecognized in London was quite unusual and this also did not go down well with the NBA community.

Many fans took to various social media platforms to put forward their amused reactions and opinions on Curry roaming freely in the streets of London. One fan wrote on X, “how can one of the greatest players ever not get recognised ffs,” while another fan mocked basketball and wrote on X, “Football is a global sport, basketball isn’t.” Check out some of the reactions below:

Interestingly, as fans continue to argue among themselves regarding the popularity of the sport, the Warriors star would have surely enjoyed some anonymity. It’s important to note that Curry wore a bucket hat in the viral video, which means it would have been a bit tough to recognize him if one weren’t a hardcore NBA/basketball fan.
