JAKARTA – NBA basketball player Stephen Curry made a surprise for his little fan. The surprise was given after the video of the 10-year-old boy crying went viral on the internet.

The boy named PJ O'Byrne is known to have cried after his attempt to see his idol in action to defend the Golden State Warriors against the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, March 8, resulted in disappointment.

At that time, O'Byrne came to the Pepsi Center carrying a banner aimed at attracting the attention of the two-time NBA MVP. However, in the match the Nuggets won, Curry was rested, causing the boy to burst into tears.

After the video of the crying went viral, the NBA decided to cheer up O'Byrne and his family with tickets to the next game against the Nuggets on Friday, March 11. It was in this match that the boy finally got to see Curry's action.

O'Byrne's presence in the match against the Nuggets was immediately greeted by Curry before the match.

"This is the essence of the NBA. Our fans are everything. I told him I appreciate his support and love. I know he was angry on Monday, and we have to make up for his disappointment," Curry said after the game, quoted by the Daily Mail.

Previously O'Byrne also had a ticket to see Curry's team play against the Nuggets in December. However, at that time the COVID-19 outbreak forced the organizers to postpone the match.

O'Byrne was treated to a good performance from the Warriors in the match against the Nuggets. In that match Curry managed to score 34 points to help his team win 113-102 while breaking the positive trend of the Nuggets.

An additional 34 points made Curry reach the milestone of 20 thousand points in his career in the NBA. In addition, the score also made him the 49th player to reach 20 thousand points in the history of the highest caste of American basketball of all time.

Curry's total has racked up 20,0006 points since starting his NBA career as the seventh-choice recruit in the 2009 Draft. He is also currently the Warriors' all-time leading scorer and has a chance to climb the NBA's top scoring list past Antawn Jamison (20,042 points) and Tom Chambers ( 20,049).
