The Golden State Warriors have the undisputed No. 1 point guard in the world right now.
Stephen Curry has changed the game of basketball, and while some think he actually made it worse, he’s not to blame for that.
Despite still being in the league, Curry has already become an inspiration and a role model for some of his colleagues and players.
That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see that Sacramento Kings star PG De’Aaron Fox is about to sign a deal with the Stephen Curry brand to wear his signature Under Armor sneakers, according to a report by Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Fox and Curry know each other pretty well from last season’s playoffs.
The Warriors were able to come back from a 0-2 deficit to end the Kings’ promising season, and both point guards were stellar throughout the course of the entire series.
Following some promising campaigns, Fox finally established himself as one of the best point guards in the game last season, and it seems like Mike Brown’s Kings are going to be one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the league for years to come.
It wouldn’t be crazy to see these two teams battle for the ultimate bragging rights in Northern California again this season.
That would give Fox a chance to have the last laugh against Curry and take his torch for the next generation, all while — ironically — wearing his signature sneakers.
That’s the ultimate sign of respect between NBA players.
