Two icons in One frame
Golden State Warriors arguably have the biggest and active fan base across the globe. With the recent 2022 Championship run that led to Stephen Curry’s first NBA Finals Mvp, the fans of this nba team grew further as this recent championship became one of the memorable Championship feats in the NBA. Just two seasons ago, after the exit of Kevin Durant in 2019, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry’s injury led the Warriors to their worst record for the 2019-2020 playoffs. Followed by the disappointing play-in stint in the 2021 season. Dubs used those bad outputs to fuel their way to the fourth championship of the organization in seven years, giving the fans more reason to cheer, to celebrate, and to grow further. It is very evident when one of the members of the biggest boyband BTS, became also a fan.
Suga of BTS, with a real name Min Yoon Gi had been recently vocal about his love for the game of basketball, sometimes he is seen wearing basketball jersey during concerts, and he also voiced out his love for the NBA underdogs when he said that he is a big fan of Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers during an interview with magazine Vogue. To add more, his screen name SUGA is derived from his position in basketball as a shooting guard.
However, with his recent tweet of the Korean idol holding a dedicated GSW jersey of him, he may have had a change of heart. Millions of fans have caught the attention, including Steph Curry expressing his gratitude toward Suga’s love for the club. A few days later, they met during the training Camp of the Dubs heading into the preseason matchup against Rui Hachimura of Japan and the Golden State Warriors.

Steph expressed his gratitude by posting a twitter post honoring Suga and welcoming him to the Dub Nation, “An honor meeting you SUGA!! Welcome to the #DubNation.”
