Stephen Curry Receives Taylor Swift Treatment in China

Already a man of international influence, the Paris Olympics acted as the cherry top for Stephen Curry. Without a gold medal, the Golden State Warriors changed the NBA, inspiring others to do their best logo-shot cosplays. However, scoring 60 points in the final two Olympic matches cemented the four-time NBA champion as one of the most decorated players ever.

China loves basketball, and apparently, it loves Curry, too.

Upon arriving in China with Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox as part of the Under Armour Brand Tour, the crowd resembled a Travis Scott concert as people packed the streets and sidewalks to catch a glimpse of Curry.

According to ESPN's Nick DePaula, Curry is in China for a week to promote the new Curry 12 and three additional Curry floor models. Fox isn't merely an Under Armour athlete; he's part of the Curry brand team. The Kings point guard is unveiling his debut shoe, "The Fox 1."

While Fox may experience fans cheering and asking for autographs, nothing could have prepared him for the swarm of fans anxiously waiting for Curry.

The late, great Kobe Bryant received much fanfare in China, and James Harden seems to have quite the following. However, Curry's entrance into the city occurred like a movie following a pop star sensation.

Imagine all that pandemonium from shooting a basketball. Curry is one of the greatest players of all time, and his international fans seem to support such a claim.
