Recently, a 9-year-old girl named Riley Morrison from Napa, California decided to write a letter to NBA superstar Steph Curry complaining that his shoes are only for boys.
She wanted to buy a pair of Under Armour’s ‘Stephen Curry’ shoes for her new basketball season but unfortunately couldn’t find anything online. Little Morrison was sad that the new Curry 5 shoes were only available in boy’s and men’s sizes. So, to solve the problem, the adorable girl decided to take it straight to the MVP himself.
Morrison’s dad shared his daughter’s letter online saying that it’s “her way of attempting to make a difference.”
The letter from the young girl wasn’t left unnoticed and Curry responded back and shared his reply on Twitter. But that wasn’t all, the NBA player added that he will be sending Riley “a pair of Curry 5’s.” Under Armour also fixed their website and now the shoes are already available in the girl’s section. Many people were touched to see a kind gesture from the superstar.
Appreciate you helping us get better Riley! We got you. #MoreToCome pic.twitter.com/UBoTklvwhg

Yep. The young lady was given a positive thoughtful response. She is a basketball player, so that will go a long way in regards to respect for the game and players. How you react, can shape someone's future response.

What a class act @StephenCurry30 is. As a woman, wife, and mother I appreciate what you do to advocate for our girls! And hats off to you Riley, you're a great leader already!
