STEPH CURRY still has a LeBron James jersey hanging up in his childhood bedroom.
The Golden State superstar, 34, is chasing another NBA crown after leading the Warriors to glory last season.
Curry won the Finals MVP as Golden State battled past Boston Celtics 4-2 to secure a fourth crown in eight years.
But despite being an idol of youngsters around the globe, Curry has revealed how starstruck he was meeting LeBron early in his career.
James attended a Davidson college game in 2007 where a young Curry caught the eye.
And the Warriors superstar revealed to JJ Redick’s The Old Man & The Three podcast how pumped the team was that LeBron could come to one of their games.

Curry said: "I wish y’all could have been on our team bus and hear these rumors of ‘Hey, I think Bron is coming to the game'.
"Somebody called the Davidson staff for some tickets for Bron to sit in our section.
"This was probably his fourth year in the league. And so nobody believed he’d show up.
"And then we get to Ford Field and lo and behold, like right when the tip-off’s coming.

"He’s there, just being a fan and watching us play."
The following year and destined for the NBA, Curry attended a Charlotte Bobcats game where James gifted him a signed jersey and shoes.
And he went on to reveal that the signed shirt is still hanging in pride of place in his father's home.
Curry explained: "In my dad’s house in North Carolina, I still have a Bron jersey on the wall, in my bedroom.
"And it’s like ‘the greatest shooter in North Carolina’ or something like that. He wrote and signed it and I kept it.
"He gave me the shoes after the game and all that. So it’s still wild just to think about."
