All this time, draft experts have been comparing quarterback Bryce Young to point guard Steph Curry . But maybe the comparison should go the other way around.
During his introductory press conference on Friday, the 2023 NFL draft's No. 1 overall pick was asked if he'd like to chat it up soon with the NBA superstar and Carolina Panthers superfan. He replied with the following :
"I hope so. I know Steph right now—he's got a lot on his plate right now, too. Obviously, he's focused and locked in on the playoff series he's trying to win. But yeah, I'm well aware. Definitely have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a player and as a person. Someone I definitely look up to. And yeah, I'm well aware of him being a part of the fanbase, so it's super cool."
Well, Steph then replied to Bryce later that night . . . sort of . . .
Unfortunately for Curry, that pregame routine didn't translate into a dub for his Dubs. The Golden State Warriors dropped the sixth game of their first-round matchup against the Sacramento Kings , 118-99.
So now, Steph is going to have a lot more on his plate with a decisive Game 7 on deck—one Bryce is probably going to tune in to.
