After the team attended Team USA’s basketball practice on Friday, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry stuck around afterward to congratulate them and ask them to sign his ping pong ball. The team obliged, giving Curry a souvenir to take home from Paris.

Curry also returned the favor, handing out autographs to some of the members of the table tennis team.

The United States basketball team and table tennis teams have interacted throughout the Olympics, with Friday’s meeting being their latest exchange. Ahead of the Opening Ceremony, Curry introduced the table tennis team to Anthony Edwards, leading to a hilarious encounter.

Since their original meeting, both the table tennis team and the basketball team have competed in their respective events. While table tennis couldn’t bring back a medal to the United States, Curry and his team are still in the early stages of Olympic competition.

After beating Serbia and South Sudan, Team USA will face Puerto Rico in the final group stage game on Saturday. Following that game, the United States will play a quarterfinal match where it will look to get one step closer to another gold medal.
