Curry and young fan with cancer swap jerseys, bracelets
Stephen Curry made a young supporter very happy.
Brody Stephens is a 7-year-old basketball fan who's battling leukemia for the second time in his life. One of his dreams was to meet the Golden State Warriors superstar.
That wish was granted Sunday when Curry paid Brody a surprise visit at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Chef Curry and Brody spent an hour together, trading bracelets and signed jerseys, and playing with the child's collection of NBA trading cards.
The reigning NBA MVP promised Brody he'd wear his new bracelet - which says "BrodyStrong" - during Monday's game against the Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. He was photographed with the accessory during shootaround.
