Game of Thrones had many celebrity fans in its day, and celebrities don't come much bigger than Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Just the other day, Curry posted an image of a Game of Thrones prop sword on his Instagram:

"Shoutout @hbo!" Curry wrote. "They know I love Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon & now I got to add Eddard and Jon Snow's swords to my cave!"
We only see the one sword in the photo Curry posted, although he mentions that he's added "Eddard and Jon Snow's swords to my cave." According to Athlon Sports, the original video panned around to show that Curry has replicas of two famous Game of Thrones swords on his wall: Ice, a huge longsword wielded by Ned Stark; and Longclaw, a bastard sword wielded by Ned's illegitimate son/secret nephew Jon Snow. The one pictured above is Ice; Longclaw has a distinctive wolf's head pommel.
It's cool that one of the most famous athletes in the world is expressing his love for Game of Thrones and has the hardware to prove it. Curry is also a fan of the prequel series House of the Dragon, which is set over 100 years before Game of Thrones; that show is filming its third season right now, although we won't see new episodes until sometime in 2026.
In the meanwhile, HBO has a brand-new Game of Thrones prequel series ready to go: the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is set decades after House of the Dragon but decades before Game of Thrones, will air on HBO and Max sometime later this year, although we're still waiting on a firm release date. That show will be a little lighter in tone than either of its sister series, which could make for a fun change. The new show will follow a dense knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his precocious squire Egg. Think of it like a whole show based around Brienne of Tarth and Podrick Payne traveling the Seven Kingdoms.
