With Stephen Curry hitting the now historic fadeaway three over two French defenders, he sealed the gold medal for Team USA in Paris. As great as the shot was, it became even more memorable when Steph hit the audience with the ‘Night Night’ celebration as he ran back on defense. Sure enough, his already popular celebration reached a new level of global fame that night. And to make sure that no one profits off it without his knowledge, he has reportedly filed trademark applications in the USA and European Union to claim the phrase.

Well, not the English version of it! But the French one ‘NUIT. NUIT.’ The move was made after the company Fanatics dropped new merchandise with Steph’s face and the phrase printed on it. But ‘Night Night’ is not the only celebration that Steph might be worried about because long before he pulled out that move, he had a few more iconic celebrations in his bag.

Shimmy

Yes, being a three-point maestro and an elite finisher on the rim, Steph occasionally hits his opponents with the shimmy after he has drained the shot and made a fool out of them. Most of the nights, it’s in front of his home fans at the Chase Center because they go wild whenever Steph pulls out that move. However, there have also been times when the celebration has backfired like it did during Game 5 of the West Finals six years ago. Going up against the Rockets, Steph was surprisingly on the receiving end of the shimmy celebration from Chris Paul after he hit an insane buzzer-beater over him. But Steph is usually on the other side more often than not.

Ring Me

Although this one might not be as common as the others, it holds a special place in every Warriors fan’s hearts. That’s because Steph did it on the biggest stage as he was about to win his fourth championship two years ago. While on the road for Game 6 of the finals against the Celtics, Steph hit a dagger three to extend his team’s lead. Confident that he was well on his way to another title win, the Baby-Faced Assassin teased the TD Garden by pointing at his ring finger, demanding his fourth ring that night. As expected, the celebration instantly went viral.

The Look Away Three

While the ‘Night Night’ celebration is all the rage nowadays, there might be one move by Steph that could take the crown for his best celebration. The Look Away Three! When Steph is on fire from the three-point line, he sometimes likes to show off his abilities by making the shot even more difficult as he turns away to celebrate before the ball has even gone through the net.

Moreover, he is so confident in his abilities that he even did it during the Paris Olympics as he turned toward his bench while the ball was still in the air. But the greatest display of this celebration was during the 2022 All-Star game when he did the move multiple times, even asking the crowd if the ball went in because he had already turned around. What makes this celebration so iconic is that he might be the only player who could pull it off consistently.

As Steph trademarks ‘NUIT. NUIT.’ Which celebration do you think is his best one?
