New Orleans, LA

After the buzzer sounded following the Pels 129-124 victory, Zion sought out Curren$y courtside and handed over the jersey following a dap-up. Star guard C.J. McCollum also stopped by to greet the Jet Life co-founder on the baseline.

Curren$y captured the moment in on Instagram with a series of photos including a shot of his newly acquired gear. “7 in a row and these last two were super important for the city. This meant the world to me,” he captioned the post.

The New Orleans native got plenty of love in his comment section as fans joked about him putting a bar on his next mixtape referencing the Williamson-gifted jersey, while another referred to Spitta as the mayor of the Big Easy.

That’s my dawg,” Smoke DZA added.
