For the members of the boys\u2019 varsity basketball team at Snowden International School in Boston, Thursday was just like any other day. However that all changed rather quickly thanks to a chance encounter with Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hoping to raise extra funds for an upcoming tournament and also for new uniforms, the team solicited donations from passers-by outside of their school, which is located in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. One person they asked for a donation, unfortunately couldn\u2019t donate to their cause but he did give them a helpful tip – Curry was at the Under Armour store just a few blocks away.<\/p>\n

The team was a bit skeptical at first but knowing that the Warriors were in town to play the Celtics, they took a chance and immediately booked it to the UA\u2019s Boston flagship shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t believe him at first,\u201d Snowden’s point guard William Samuels told Snkrs Day via the phone. \u201cBut then we dropped off our bags at the school and ran to Under Armour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team instantly caught Curry\u2019s eyes because they were wearing the school\u2019s junior varsity jerseys to fundraise. This quickly helped to break any ice that may have existed and Curry started asking the players about the team, what position they play and who is the best scorer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was in the front of the store with us just cooling,\u201d ninth-grader Richie Cappelan told Snkrs Day. \u201cHe was real personable with us and signed something for everybody. He\u2019s just a cool dude, he\u2019s got a great personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry also noticed that the team was fundraising (they had donation cans with them) and once he learned that they were raising funds for new gear, the Warriors superstar started to get all of their shoe sizes. And then just like that, Curry had bought each player a brand new pair of the Under Armour Curry 4.<\/p>\n

But Curry didn\u2019t just buy shoes for the team, he also talked with each player, answered their questions and even gave them some basketball advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me that as a shooter, it doesn\u2019t matter how many shots you take because your job is to shoot the ball,\u201d 16-year-old Javy Ellis told Snkrs Day. \u201cHe said that\u2019s how you get your confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cappellan also was impressed with the advice Curry gave him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me to just the let the game come to you,\u201d Cappellan said. \u201cAnd not to force anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience was definitely one that the entire team will never forget about, especially since they will be wearing the Curry 4 this season thanks to the generosity of the Warriors All-Star.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurry is one of my favorite point guards,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cIt was tight to meet him and have him buy our entire team shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n
