Warriors Rookie Will Richard Reflects on Viral Steph Curry Moment and Dream Come True

Golden State Warriors rookie Will Richard, 22, reflected on his adorably relatable and now-viral interaction with superstar Steph Curry during Warriors Media Day. As the team's No. 56 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Richard, who signed a reported four-year, $8.69 million contract, admitted to being starstruck by his idol. Despite being too shy to initially ask for a photo, Curry happily obliged, leading to a cherished memento. Richard immediately sent the photo to his parents, who famously responded, "We got to frame this." Growing up loving the Warriors and idolizing Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, Richard considers being part of the team a "blessing" and a "dream come true." He plans to hang the photo in his home as a reminder of his journey.
