Curry hopes Warriors, Panthers remain unbeaten; hangs with Newton

Stephen Curry is a noted Carolina Panthers fan, and when he was back home in Charlotte Wednesday he said he hopes neither they or his Golden State Warriors lose until February.

"So that means the Panthers get their Super Bowl win," Curry said before he took on the Hornets on a night Charlotte honored his father Dell.

The Warriors are the NBA's only undefeated team at 20-0 after Wednesday. The Panthers remain the NFL's only unbeaten squad at 11-0.

Curry implied he may even have plans for the Super Bowl on Feb. 7. The game is scheduled to be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., 34 miles south of the Dubs' home court of Oracle Arena.

"We have a day off there, too," Curry told reporters. "No pressure."

In attendance at Time Warner Cable Arena again on Wednesday night was Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

Don't jump to conclusions about that Curry jersey either. It is a Dell Curry jersey, for "Dell Curry Night." The last time Newton hit a Hornets game he was representing another franchise legend, Larry Johnson.

After the game, the two franchise players met up for daps.
