WATCH: Fans Go 'Fishing' For Stephen Curry's Autograph In Philly

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Stephen Curry is arguably the best basketball player on the planet right now. A certain player in Cleveland may disagree, but the sharpshooting point guard in Oakland is in the discussion.

With that level of talent, comes notoriety from coast to coast. Curry undeniably has fans in every NBA city in America and it's safe to say that there is probably a No. 30 Warriors jersey in the stands for all 82 of the Warriors' games.

The fact held true in Philadelphia on Saturday as the Warriors held off a huge upset and edged out the Sixers 108-105.

On Friday night, Curry's coast to coast appeal was evident in the form of a pair of fans in Philadelphia doing some fishing for an autograph -- seriously. Curry was outside the Wells Fargo Center that evening when an autograph request descended down to him from above.

Two fans, what appears to be a father and his child, took clipboards, attached a jersey and a magazine to them and requested Curry's autograph.

He obliged and asked that the two wait to pull them up so that he could document the creative approach to snagging an autograph.
