Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has always used his powers for good, whether that's helping his team win games or serving his community off the court. In Curry's latest heartwarming gesture, he sent a special video to one of his young fans from Minneapolis.
Twelve-year-old Wyatt Neus, who has Down syndrome, recently went viral for his shot during a teacher-student game. Not only did Neus knock down the shot from deep range, but he ran around the court doing Curry's popular “Night night” celebration.

“Hey Wyatt, just want to say that was really, really special and inspiring what you did, showing out in front of your whole school,” Curry said in the video message. “Unbelievable shot, unbelievable celebration, and even better jersey. Great job, Wyatt. See you soon.”
Not only did Neus get an inspirational message from his favorite NBA player, but they're also inviting him to a game next season when the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Warriors.
“It's just shocking. I would just say just, you know, see how many people come in and love to see something so cool and natural and really just the community coming together,” Brooke Neus, Wyatt's mother, said. “For Steph to take the time out of his day and to look at that is just, I never thought it would become anything like this. We thought it was a cool video that, you know, just like that. Hard to believe that we could maybe lighten other people's hearts, but this has taken a new life of its own, and we're so lucky.”
This should come as no surprise to the NBA world, and you can add this to the list of many things that Curry loves to do.
