Stephen Curry Sends Personal Video to 12‑Year‑Old Fan After Viral 'Curry Range' Shot

The invite highlights how a short school clip and local reporting can quickly connect an athlete to a young fan.

Overview

  • A video of 12-year-old Wyatt Neus — who has Down syndrome — sinking a long-range shot at a school event and doing Curry’s “Night, Night” celebration went viral online.
  • Warriors communications executive Raymond Ridder said Curry saw the clip and replied within ten minutes by recording a personal message for Wyatt.
  • In the video Curry called the moment “really, really special and inspiring,” praised Wyatt’s shot and celebration, and invited him to a WarriorsTimberwolves game next season.
  • Wyatt’s family expressed surprise and gratitude, with his mother Brooke Neus saying the response brought their community together and lifted many hearts.
  • The gesture follows Curry’s pattern of community outreach and shows how social media and local news can boost positive visibility for fans with disabilities and spur more athlete-to-fan connections.
