South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley Shares Powerful 4-Word Response to Steph Curry’s Support

Before his March 20th game against the Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors icon and NBA legend Steph Curry made a statement as he walked through the tunnel, sporting a shirt in support of South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball standout MiLaysia Fulwiley.

SportsCenter shared a photo on X of Curry wearing the shirt, accompanied by the caption: “The Chef knows who’s about to be cookin’ up some madness 🔥,” and added, “Steph Curry pulled up to the Warriors game reppin’ MiLaysia Fulwiley 😮‍💨.”

The post quickly went viral, garnering over 400,000 views in less than 24 hours.

While it wasn’t entirely unexpected to see Curry backing Fulwiley (since he signed her to his Curry Brand line through Under Armour last March, making her the first collegiate NIL athlete to join his brand), it served as a heartfelt reminder of the bond they share, especially with the Gamecocks’ pursuit of back-to-back NCAA National Championships starting the following day.

On Friday, Dawn Staley’s squad delivered a dominant 108-48 victory over Tennessee Tech, setting a new record for the most points South Carolina has ever scored in an NCAA tournament game. Fulwiley contributed 15 points and 4 impressive blocks in the win.

After the game, WACH Fox reporter Jared Parker asked Fulwiley about Curry’s show of support the day before. Her reaction spoke volumes.

“It’s a blessing, man,” Fulwiley said, according to an X post from Parker. “When I seen it, I couldn’t really say nothing. I almost cried, honestly.”

She went on, “Just seeing how I grew up, and where I come from, nobody where I come from, that would never happen to them. So I’m just proud of myself for keep going, trusting the process, and just locking in, because other great people will be on notice like Steph, and I’m just blessed, honestly. I mean, I seen it and I couldn’t believe it.”
