Young UA ambassador joins Stephen Curry and Seth Curry at first-ever Curry Camp outside the U.S.
Chongqing, China — August 18, 2025. The city of Chongqing was set ablaze with basketball fever as NBA superstar Stephen Curry launched his highly anticipated 2025 Curry Brand China Tour, headlined by the first-ever Curry Con and the historic Curry Camp Asia debut.
For fans and players alike, the three-day spectacle wasn’t just about basketball — it was a cultural celebration of community, resilience, and the global reach of Curry’s influence. And among the select few invited to take part was Singapore’s very own EJ Molino, an 18-year-old UA ambassador and rising basketball talent.
Curry Camp Asia: A First for the Region
The highlight of Curry’s Chongqing stop was the first Curry Camp ever held outside the U.S., where he personally mentored Asia’s top young players. The showcase culminated on the main court at the Chongqing International Expo Center on the final day, where over 4,000 fans roared as Asia’s brightest young talents displayed their skills.
EJ Molino: Singapore’s Rising Star at Curry Camp
Amid this historic backdrop stood EJ Molino, proudly flying the Singapore flag at Curry Camp Asia. Having played basketball since the age of four, Molino described the invitation as “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“This Curry Camp is very, very fun, and it’s a very good experience,” EJ told SportPlus.sg during the event. “There are a lot of very talented players here whom I can learn from — and Steph himself too.”
For EJ, one of the most surreal moments was interacting directly with both Steph Curry and his brother, Seth Curry.
“It was very, very cool, but when I first saw them I was star struck.”
Highlights of the Camp: Drills, Games, and 4,000 Fans
Asked about his favorite memories from Chongqing, EJ recalled two standout experiences:
“Doing drills with Steph Curry was really cool, and playing in the main court in front of 4,000 people — I think that was quite a sick experience.”
He also praised the Curry 7s, the shoe of choice for many players at the camp:
“The Curry series 7s are very nice, very comfortable and bouncy.”
On the final day, EJ reflected with gratitude:
“It has been very fun for me, and today is definitely my favourite day out of the three days of this camp.”
A Journey Fueled by Ambition
Despite his young age, EJ has his eyes firmly set on the future.
“I want to play professional, but I still don’t know where yet — wherever the orange ball takes me to.”
Part of that journey includes carrying Curry’s teachings into his own routine.
“I definitely will [adopt Steph’s training drills] because I know it will help me very much.”
Bigger Than Basketball: A Cultural Moment
Curry’s presence in Chongqing was nothing short of monumental. The city came alive with subway trains wrapped in Curry’s image, skyscrapers lit up with his signature “Night Night” pose, and a breathtaking 5,000-drone light show replaying his most iconic three-pointers across the skyline.
The debut Curry Con drew thousands of fans, featuring sneaker showcases, interactive games, and Curry Brand exclusives.
Singapore Basketball on the Global Stage
For Singapore basketball, EJ Molino’s presence at Curry Camp Asia was a proud milestone. Competing alongside some of Asia’s best under the mentorship of Steph Curry not only sharpened his skills but also showcased the growing potential of Singapore’s next generation of hoopers.
With determination, talent, and the guidance of global icons, EJ and his peers embody the bright future of basketball in Asia. #Basketball #UnderArmourSG #CurryCampAsia
