Suga is a well-known fan of the NBA (National Basketball Association) and has shown love for many teams, namely the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, etc. So, he was invited to attend the Golden States Warriors match against the Washington Wizards at the NBA Japan Games.

The NBA’s Golden States Warriors has become a fan club of K-Pop idols, including NCT‘s Chenle, Mark, and Yuta and, of course, GOT7‘s BamBam, the team’s global ambassador.

Now, the Warriors’ latest member of Dub Nation (the Warriors fandom) is Suga. He got the attention of not just ARMYs but the team when he posted a photo of himself with a custom Warriors jersey that included his stage name (which is derived from his position “Shooting Guard,” by the way) and his favorite number.
Love the jersey SUGA!! See you soon ✈️ https://t.co/aZW0NXm2S9

When he flew to Japan, he met the team as expected. He hung out with Andre Iguodala, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, etc.

In a newly released clip from their meeting, Suga also recorded a video with Steph for his kids. He has three children with his wife Ayesha Curry: daughters Riley and Ryan and son Canon.
Riley is especially known to NBA fans because she visits with her dad during press conferences. She had a couple of videos go viral over the years.
Like the great dad he is, Steph thought of his kids while meeting Suga, knowing how much they love BTS. So, he recorded a video to send to them.

Suga: Hi! Nice to meet you.
Stephen Curry: So you gotta keep singing their songs. Alright? All love.
The next day, Suga attended the game courtside. He met with Steph again, who told him his kids loved the video.
