Steph Curry is one of the most popular players in the NBA.
The four-time NBA Champion has over 17.4 million followers on X, so his social media activity is always noteworthy to fans around the league.
Recently, NBA Alerts (an account that monitors social media activity around the league) reported that Curry has followed his former teammate JaVale McGee on X.
