Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry touched down in China this week, and the reception was nothing short of electrifying. As part of his Curry Brand World Tour, the four-time NBA champion arrived to a sea of fans, flashing cameras, and chants of “MVP” that echoed through the streets.
Curry’s arrival marked the beginning of a multi-day training camp and promotional tour, where he’s set to host basketball clinics, unveil new Curry Brand activations, and engage directly with fans. Before landing, Curry shared his excitement on social media, writing,
“Counting down the hours until I touchdown in China. These tours have been something I loved since the earlier days in my career. My fan base in China is like no other”.
The moment he stepped off the plane, chaos ensued, in the best way possible. Fans lined the streets with posters and jerseys, hoping for a glimpse of their hero.

A dazzling drone display lit up the sky in his honor, and security struggled to contain the crowd as Curry made his way to his hotel. At Curry Con in Chongqing, thousands packed the venue to celebrate his arrival, turning the event into a full-blown basketball festival.

Despite the spectacle, Curry remains focused, preparing for his 17th NBA season. He’s been training intensely, even running through villages in a weighted vest, and says his motivation is simple:
“Being championship relevant in an already tough NBA league”.
Curry’s China tour is more than a marketing event, it’s a testament to his global reach and the cultural impact he’s had on the game. From Shanghai to Chongqing, the love for Steph is loud, proud, and absolutely unstoppable.
