"We didn't care that Rodman was there" - Steph Curry recalls meeting Michael Jordan for the first time as a kid

It was a dream-come-true moment for Steph Curry when he finally had the opportunity to meet Michael Jordan in person as a kid.

Young Steph and his brother Seth were so overwhelmed by excitement after seeing their idol in the flesh that they didn't even acknowledge the presence of Dennis Rodman, who was with MJ at the time. 

Unsurprisingly, Curry's memories about that day were mostly about Jordan. But somehow, he also remembers Rodman being there.

"I met him after the game in Charlotte," the Warriors guard once recalled. "Me and my brother were getting trading cards and we were dying to get him to sign our M.J. card that we got recently. My dad set it up where we could wait outside the visiting locker room to come out. And [Jordan] and Dennis Rodman came out at the same time. We met both of them at the same time. We didn't care that Rodman was there. I was basically kind of awestruck at first because I didn't realize how tall [Jordan] was in person when you stand up next to him, especially with how young I was."
