BRIEF: Stephen Curry finds being mentioned in a Kanye West tweet 'funny and honoring at the same time'

Feb. 19--Stephen Curry is already an NBA champion and well on his way to be named league MVP for the second straight year. But just in case all that wasn't enough, Curry can now rest assured he's made it in this world.

He's been mentioned in a Kanye West tweet -- and not in a disparaging manner.

The Golden State Warriors superstar recently was asked by a reporter how he felt about having his name dropped by the rapper/prolific social-media user.

"I've seen a lot of his crazy and outlandish tweets, especially in the past month, and then when I saw my name cross through his fingertips, that was pretty funny and honoring at the same time," Curry said.

"But then also very weird that he put me in the same conversation as Michael [Jordan] and Kanye."

Curry went on to say he particularly enjoyed a meme that was inspired by West's tweet.

"Someone did a graphic of me in my jersey and Jordan, they dubbed him guarding me, and Kanye's face was on both of us," Curry said. "That's my favorite meme of all time -- or so far to date. I'm gonna have to get that blown up on my wall or something."
