In the Spectrum Center, Steph Curry — not the Hornets — is the main attraction.
Summer and Isaiah Carrol pose before Steph Curry and the Warrriors tip off against the Hornets CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Steph Curry wrapped up his elaborate pregame routine, he walked over to the sideline to sign a young fan’s cap. The school-aged boy hopped up and down as if his favorite cartoon character popped out of a screen and became his best friend.
The Spectrum Center, one of the quietest arenas in the league, got the most rowdy on Friday night whenever Curry scored or checked into the game. They erupted when he sank a buzzer-beating 3 to end the first half. Curry, more than any Hornet in years, is Charlotte’s star.For a franchise that will have missed the playoffs for eight straight seasons, any semblance of hope that Curry, maybe, one day, could possibly don a Hornets jersey is blind faith. But there are believers nonetheless.
Demetrius Henderson and his son, Landon, also went to their first NBA game together because Curry was in town. The seven-year-old Landon could only laugh and nod when asked what it’d be like if Curry played for the Hornets one day. The connections make it easy for fans to fantasize. Curry was naturally asked multiple questions in his postgame press conference about what it’s like to play back home. He looks forward to playing in Charlotte — in front of familiar faces, with a crowd that can energize him.
