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. And, we can understand why as clearly, the players themselves are fans.

The day before the Warriors’ first game, Suga met with players Stephen Curry (also known as Steph Curry), Andre Iguodala, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, etc.

After the game, Poole even brought the gift with him to the press conference! He proudly displayed his autographed copy of BTS’s Proof album gifted to him by Suga, along with the bag he brought it in. It was there the entire time he spoke to the press.

Suga wrote, “To JP, looking forward to our dance battle!” How cute are they?!
Even when Poole left, he picked up his gift with a smile and still held it in a way that all the cameras could get a good look at it. He’s such a proud fanboy.
