"About to get a 4yr 240m contract from MJ", "Yo Charlotte let him take 20 threes in a game at 40" - NBA Reddit reacts to Stephen Curry's comments about potentially playing in Charlotte

Stephen Curry was recently awarded the key to the city of Charlotte in a ceremony at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center. He was honored for inspiring and positively impacting the people of Charlotte.

"The Key to the City honors individuals who have inspired and positively impacted the people of Charlotte and beyond. ... Previous Key to the City recipients include musician Common in 2020, musician Anthony Hamilton in 2019, Davis in 2015, and NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson in 2014," a statement read.

Steph has strong ties to Charlotte, NC. While he was born in Akron, Ohio, he attended Charlotte Christian High School. He played for the Davidson Wildcats (of Davidson College in Charlotte) in the Southern Conference of NCAA Division I. Steph's father, Dell Curry, played for the Charlotte Hornets from 1988-1998 in the NBA, and currently works as a commentator for the same team.

In his acceptance speech, Curry alluded to possibly playing in North Carolina in the future.

“I’ve always said I wanted to finish my career at Golden State because of how much it means and the experiences and teammates and the journey we’ve been."

“Everybody asks me, ‘You wanna play one year for the Hornets and come back?’ … I am not breaking any news right now, I’m not making any promises. All I would say is if there was a team that I did want to play for that was not named the Warriors, that would be it.”

Fans on Reddit were quick to weigh in on Curry's comments. Here are some of the top reactions:
