Golden State Warriors Steph Curry was shocked after an interviewer asked Cannon Curry who his favorite player was, and he said LeBron James!

In a light-hearted but hilarious moment that quickly went viral, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry was left stunned when his own son, Cannon Curry, was asked who his favorite basketball player is — and without hesitation, the young Curry responded: “LeBron James.”

The moment happened during a casual interview segment featuring the Curry family, where Cannon, 7, was happily answering questions with the kind of confidence only a child of NBA royalty could have. But when the interviewer tossed him a simple question — “Who’s your favorite player?” — no one, especially Steph, expected what came next.

“LeBron James,” Cannon said with a grin, as Steph’s jaw visibly dropped in playful shock.

Steph’s Priceless Reaction

Steph’s reaction was instant and unforgettable. He turned to Cannon with wide eyes, let out a dramatic gasp, and jokingly clutched his chest as if he’d just been betrayed.

“You said who?” Steph laughed, clearly amused and a little mock-offended.

The room burst into laughter, and even Cannon cracked a smile, knowing he had just created a viral moment.

A Friendly Rivalry Runs Deep

While some fans might see it as surprising, the Curry and James families have shared mutual respect and friendship for years, despite the fierce NBA Finals rivalry between Steph’s Warriors and LeBron’s Cavaliers during the mid-2010s. Off the court, the two superstars have spoken highly of each other, and their kids have even interacted at events.

In fact, Cannon choosing LeBron isn’t that shocking — LeBron James is one of the most recognizable and influential athletes in the world. And for a young fan growing up around the game, he’s just as inspiring as Steph.

Social Media Reacts

The clip quickly spread across social media, with fans and media outlets posting reactions ranging from memes to jokes about Steph needing to have a “serious talk” with his son.

One fan commented:

“Cannon just added fuel to the greatest rivalry in modern NBA history — in his own household!”

Another joked:

“Steph needs to take Cannon to the gym tomorrow and remind him who changed the game.”

All in Good Fun

In the end, it was a heartwarming moment that reminded fans that even NBA legends can get humbled — especially by their own kids.

Steph took it all in stride, later posting on Instagram with the caption:

“We’ll talk about this later, young man 😂💔”
