Steph Curry’s Small Gesture, Big Impact: MiLaysia Fulwiley Reacts to Unexpected Tribute
A small gesture from Steph Curry created a huge moment earlier this week.
Before the Golden State Warriors’ 117–114 victory over the Toronto Raptors, Curry arrived at Chase Center wearing a shirt featuring South Carolina women’s basketball star MiLaysia Fulwiley—a move that didn’t go unnoticed.
A Moment Fulwiley Won’t Forget
The Gamecocks sophomore first saw Curry’s tribute while scrolling through social media, and the moment left her speechless.
“It’s a blessing, man. When I saw it, I couldn’t really say nothing, but I almost cried, honestly,” Fulwiley told Fox 57. “Just seeing how I grew up and where I come from—nobody from where I come from that would ever happen to them. I’m just proud of myself. Just keep going, trust in the process and just locking in because other great people will be on notice, like Steph.”
More Than Just a Shirt—A Special Connection
Curry’s support wasn’t random—Fulwiley signed a multi-year NIL deal with the Curry Brand last March, becoming the first collegiate athlete to partner directly with the Warriors superstar’s signature line.
She backed up the hype on the court, delivering a stellar performance in South Carolina’s dominant 108–48 win over No. 16 seed Tennessee Tech. Fulwiley put up 15 points and five assists in just 19 minutes, proving once again why she’s one of the most exciting young players in the game.
Curry’s Eyes on the Gamecocks
While Curry is currently recovering from a pelvic contusion suffered on Thursday night, his focus remains locked on the NCAA women’s basketball tournament—especially when it comes to South Carolina. Even if he misses a few games, one thing is certain: Steph Curry will be watching MiLaysia Fulwiley shine.
