Stephen Curry is the name of one of the biggest stars in the NBA, which is by far the world’s best basketball league.
And the 35-year-old American is currently in Dubai, where he has had a chat with Viktor Axelsen.
The Danish sports star reveals this on the social media Instagram.
– It was a privilege to meet Stephen Curry and his team. A fantastic athlete, writes the fynboen and continues:
– But Stephen Curry and the rest of the team impressed me even more with their great humility and kindness.
The meeting between the two world stars took place at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex. This is where Viktor Axelsen trains every day.
In his post on Instagram, Viktor Axelsen does not hide that it was a special moment to meet the superstar from the Golden State Warriors.
In fact, Stephen Curry and several other NBA stars have inspired the Olympic winner from Tokyo.

– As a young player, I gained valuable insight by watching games from the NBA, just as I could see how the athletes moved on the court. So it was very inspiring to see Stephen Curry and the team in action, are the closing words from the Dane.
29-year-old Viktor Axelsen made history earlier this month when he won the China Open. This made him the first ever badminton player to win all Super 1000 tournaments.
In the NBA, Stephen Curry is also historic. He is the player who has hit the most shots from behind the three-point line in history.
