Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry had a special gesture for superfan Grandma Kitty during the Nets game. Notably, the Warriors locked horns with the Nets on Thursday, March 6, and got the better of their counterparts 121-119. Apart from being their third straight win, there was another reason it was a special game.

Curry’s superfan Grandma Kitty recorded her presence at the Barclays Center. Kitty Ford, popularly called Grandma Kitty, had her dream come true when she met her favorite player Stephen Curry during a heartwarming pregame interaction.

Not only Curry interacted with her but also gifted her a signed customized Grandma Kitty Warriors jersey. The superfan hugged her idol and engaged in a brief conversation before patting his back. Notably, Ford went viral in January after her granddaughter posted her video on Tik Tok talking about her admiration for the Warriors.

The 86-year-old maintains a scrapbook, where she has kept a record of all of Curry’s games, including start times, channels, stats and more. The viral video got the attention of Curry, and the four-time NBA champion invited her to the Warriors game on March 6 via a video.

Curry said, “I want to say thanks for being such a proud member of Dub Nation and for supporting us. I know you watch us on (NBA) League Pass all the time and I know you got a beautiful scrapbook that you keep track of all our stats.”

“So, because of your support, we want to invite you to our game in Brooklyn on March 6th. We’d love to have you, and bring your book,” the 36-year-old added.

“Today was one of the biggest days”- Grandma Kitty after meeting her idol Stephen Curry

After meeting her favorite player, Grandma Kitty hailed it as one of the biggest days of her life. According to Dalton Johnson, she told her granddaughter that “today was one of the biggest days of her whole life other than when she had her kids.”

Notably, Kitty has been Curry’s fan since 2015 when she saw a video of Curry celebrating with his eldest daughter. Kitty was fascinated by the off-court personality of Curry after he made it to his first NBA Finals.

Coming back to the game, the sixth-seeded Western Conference side recorded their third straight win against the Nets. Curry came up with a solid 40-point performance for his side and had four rebounds as well as four assists. Their newest signing Jimmy Butler had 25 points along with two rebounds and six assists.

On the other hand, the Nets, who were coming on the back of a five-match losing streak, had Cameron Johnson scoring 26 points, six rebounds and four assists. Cam Thomas recorded 23 points while Tyrese Martin chipped in 17 points.

In their next game, the Warriors will be up against the Pistons on Saturday, March 8.
