Bronny James remembers feeling awed after meeting Steph, who originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
As the son of an NBA legend, Bronnie James has certainly met his fair share of celebrities and high-profile athletes.
But an encounter with Warriors star Steph Curry left him in awe.
The 2024 NBA Draft prospect and son of Le Bron James recently revealed to Bleacher Report that meeting Curry was the last time he felt star struck.
“I think when I [saw] Steph plays at Crypto [Arena] a minute ago, and he came over and dabbed me,” Bronny James said. “…I feel like that was really cool.”
News reporter: “[When] was the first time you felt star struck?”

LeBron James and Curry are known as two of the greatest basketball players of all time, and the younger James is certainly familiar with Curry’s game after all the NBA finals and playoffs between the great Warriors and his father.
And while LeBron has countless accolades to his name, nothing beats meeting the 3-point king in person.
The moment Bronny was talking about was after Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals last May, where LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Warriors 127-97 to take a two games to one lead.
Bronny will have to wait and see if his name is called in next month’s NBA draft, but the 19-year-old will certainly have plenty of friends in the league if and when he arrives, thanks to his father who played for him.
