The game clock was ticking just under 30 seconds. Stephen Curry went all the way to the top of the 3-point line and took his shot. Well, by now, the defense walls should just stop defending Steph because it’s impossible. The Dubs guard scored his 3 points, ran back, and hit his signature ‘Night Night.’ But that’s like the regular picture in a Warriors game. What caught the eyes was what Curry did after chest-bumping Buddy Hield.
Stephen Curry marched toward the audience in the gallery, grabbed his jersey proudly displaying the words “Golden State” and yelled into a TV camera. However, the 10x NBA All-Star couldn’t remember what words came out of his mouth. In his moments of raw emotions, Steph might have gone a bit overboard. But, it was all worth it in the end.
Luckily, the curious fans can sit at ease. This is because the Baby-Faced Assassin has recalled his words from the rare moment. After re-watching the play, Curry told ESPN, “You better stay here.” These were the words Stephen Curry said in his moment of power. “That type of moment with all of that angst, it was raw emotion,” Curry said.

Chef Curry’s emotions after the game expressed an unsaid story- it felt like he had a point to prove. “When you see him with that type of emotion, everyone else just falls in line,” Draymond Green said of Curry. “I try to lead in that category. But when he is up like that, I just move to the side and let him do his thing and then support.”
