Everyone has experienced at least one significant moment in their life that they wish they could revisit. For Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, one of those moments was probably from a game that took place about seven years ago. If you are an avid NBA follower, then you most definitely know it was a rare experience that left a mark on thousands of fans. Curry recently took the liberty to commemorate the event by honoring a particular Hall of Famer with a present from the Curry Brand’s parent company ‘Under Armour’.
It is no secret that the Golden State Warriors were considered the underdogs in the league with no championships for about four decades until Curry came along. While he took his time to establish his place in the league, Curry eventually led his team to victory in 2015 and gradually began rising to become one of the strongest teams.

To honor the moment, the 4x NBA champion presented sports commentator Mike Breen with a gift for his iconic ‘Bang. Bang’ call that had accompanied the iconic shot.

I remember that game like it was yesterday, I was coming back from a performance for my drama class, and I caught the end of the game, and what Wardell did basically seal MVP was an all time virtuoso!!!

I will absolutely never forget that moment. Unbelievable call and that’s the last time the NBA let Curry be on his own when he passed the half court line!

Mike Breen has been part of many iconic games and moments over the years. His memorable ‘bang‘ call is synonymous with some iconic moments in the history of the league. However, Curry’s other-worldly performance on that night prompted the legendary commentator to give the Warriors stars two ‘bangs‘ simultaneously. That is certainly a flex Curry will be proud of.
