The Golden State Warriors had yet another match going their way. Facing off with the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, Stephen Curry and co. remained strong to clinch a 126-102 blowout victory. While the Warriors’ fans were excited enough, Stephen Curry had quite an unusual way of garnering the limelight. The ‘Night Night’ celebration is a well-known one in Curry. However, he usually pulls it off at the fag end of a game.

But Sunday was different. After hitting a three-peat to extend the Warriors’ lead to 93-69 in the third quarter, Curry hit his signature move. When asked about the reason, Curry hinted at it being connected with P.J. Washington. For the uninitiated, Washington mocked Curry’s celebration as Dallas won over the Warriors on February 12.

Reflecting on the same, Steph Curry explained to the media, To whatever the question is, it’s just a moment I had with someone on the other side, longer story… It’s a reflection of that for sure,” Curry said. “I think what we’re doing right now, everybody playing with confidence having fun, usually for me that’s when … you’re not like a front-running type team where when things are going great, but you have to manifest that with playing with joy, and then that feeds on itself.”

Curry also mentioned that his famous celebration was pretty much unpredictable and could come out at any moment. Meanwhile, expressing significant respect towards Curry’s heroics for his team, a leaked video of Steve Kerr recently came to the forefront.

The Paris Olympic gold medal match was a tough one for Team USA. Going up against the home team, France, they knew things were going to be tough. And just as things really seemed to get tight, Stephen Curry stepped in as the guardian angel. He not only dropped 24 points but also scored four three-point shots in the final three minutes. And such a performance surely made Steve Kerr incredibly happy. 

In a leaked video from the Paris Olympics, Kerr could be heard saying, “Oh my god, I’m so fu**ing lucky to be a part of your life, holy sh**, you are amazing, you are the finest human being I’ve ever met in my life and I mean that in every way.”
