A few days ago, the BTS member posted a photo of him with an NBA jersey in the colors of GSW with a 'SUGA 3' printed on the back.
Steph shared the photo on his Twitter account and said, "Love the jersey SUGA!! See you soon.”
The rapper-producer is a known basketball enthusiast. In fact, his stage name, SUGA, came from shooting guard, the position he used to play.
SUGA also met and took selfies with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
