Stephen Curry continues his off-season tour of China and once again turned a routine stop into a playoff-level event. In a packed arena, the Golden State Warriors point guard delighted fans with an emphatic slam — and did it with his left hand, a rarity for him — before becoming the star of a unique light performance featuring thousands of drones.
A Rare Dunk From the King of Long-Range
Curry is known first and foremost as the greatest shooter of the modern era, but in Chongqing he reminded everyone he can surprise with more than just three-pointers. A left-handed dunk — a move seldom seen from him — drew roaring applause and spread across social media in an instant, becoming the night’s main highlight.
Packed Arena and Pure Emotion
The stands were filled to the brim: fans came not for a simple autograph session but for a one-man star show. Reactions — from gasps of surprise to a thunderous roar — underscored the scale of the two-time MVP’s popularity in China and how much the local crowd has missed seeing elite-level basketball live.
Pixels in the Sky: Drones Draw “Night-Night”
The climax came above the city: around 5,000 unmanned aerial vehicles formed an image of Curry in the sky with his signature “night-night” celebration. The superstar posed in front of the light installation, mirroring the gesture and turning the moment into a perfect postcard of the off-season — a rare case of a poster literally painted in the air.
“This Is Incredible”: Steph’s Reaction
Curry didn’t hide his emotions, noting he hadn’t seen anything comparable in scale and impact for a long time: in his words, thousands of drones “work wonders.” It doesn’t sound like a perfunctory thank-you but an honest admission: the show truly reached the level of a global sporting event.
Why It Matters
Moments like these are more than entertainment. They’re a direct bridge between the NBA and an international audience: live contact with superstars, rare technical performances, and scenes that stick longer than dry numbers in a box score. Curry once again proved he’s not only the face of the Warriors but also someone redefining the very idea of a basketball show — whether it’s logo threes or an unexpected left-handed dunk under the glow of drones.
