MrBeast is a huge fan of Stephen Curry, and, despite being from North Carolina, he follows and roots for the Golden State Warriors. While on the Big Podcast, the popular YouTuber and philanthropist was asked if he and Shaquille O’Neal could join forces to draw up a scenario where Steph would leave GSW for the Charlotte Hornets. They both said it was impossible. MrBeast himself, despite his connection with the Hornets, “will break” if Steph leaves Golden State.

MrBeast had a business relationship with the Hornets franchise — a patch deal for the 2023-24 season to get his snack company, Feastables, on their jersey. Steph also has a deep-rooted connection with the Hornets.
He grew up in North Carolina, and his father, Dell Curry, is a franchise legend. Despite this litany of associations with NC, MrBeast is confident he will not be able to get Steph to leave Dub Nation and join the Hornets. Shaq concurred.
“It’ll never happen,” said the Lakers Legend.
To make things interesting, Adam Lefkoe added a $200 million deal in the hypothetical scenario. That’s when MrBeast got a little animated. The YouTuber is no doubt rich, with a rumored net worth of more than a billion. However, he believes Steph has enough money to not be lured by riches.
“He has plenty of money. I’d be pissed if he left the Warriors. It’s already weird seeing Klay [Thompson] not play at the Warriors. If he left as well, my brain will break,” said MrBeast.
The YouTuber and Shaq’s takes are based on the knowledge of where Steph stands when it comes to the Warriors. He has helped build the franchise and its dynasty over the last decade. His legacy is indelibly linked with GSW.
Curry wants to stay in the Bay
There’s no denying that North Carolina holds a special place in Steph’s life. It is where he developed as a player, during his time at Davidson. Without the reputation he earned there as a shooter, he couldn’t have entered the league with the status of a star player.
During a press conference last year, he was asked if he ever thinks about what it’d be like to be in Charlotte.
“I mean, yeah. I have thoughts all the time. But no, I want to stay in the Bay and that’s something I’ve talked about. But there is a curiosity of what it would be like to play here for sure,” Steph had replied.
The superstar also admitted that he keeps asking his brother Seth, who plays for the Hornets, what it’s like to be there. But that’s as far as he can go. Steph plans on being a Warrior till he plays his last game.
