Video: Watch Golden State's Stephen Curry score a penalty after Chelsea's draw with Arsenal
Curry has been attending football games during the NBA off-season.
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry showed that he could also kick a football in addition to winning NBA titles.
The 29-year-old, who helped his team win a second play-off title in three years back in June, was in attendance at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (18 September) for Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
Curry is used to being watched by football stars especially during the play-offs, but this time the roles were reversed as the basketball star witnessed a goalless but entertaining match between two of London's best teams.
Following the game, the two-time MVP decided to test his right foot as he scored a penalty that hit the crossbar and ricocheted off the goalkeeper.
Curry has been a long-time fan of football, having invited Lionel Messi to a Warriors game. He was also in attendance for Paris Saint-Germain's recent 3-0 win over St-Étienne on 25 August.
The 2009 number one draft pick was also presented with a PSG jersey and took part in a ceremonial kick-off ahead of the game. Besides, he also shook hands with world record signing Neymar, who Curry has long admired.
"He's [Neymar] a star in the soccer world, showing such skill and a kind of grace when he's out there on the field," Curry said of Neymar back in 2016. "So he's fun to watch."
"I know he's a basketball head. I saw him dribbling two basketballs the other day trying to mimic my two-ball routine — I told him I appreciate that and he doesn't want to see me with a soccer ball, because I wouldn't know what to do!"
"It's pretty cool to know we've got fans all over, and obviously it's inspiring what he does on the soccer field."
