Stephen Curry received his first MVP award two years after his daughter, Riley Curry was born. Riley has been on the sidelines supporting the Warriors since the beginning of their five-straight NBA Finals appearance. The world has seen the bond she shares with her father and the fans loved seeing her taking over press conferences. With that said, Curry recently opened up about an incident where Riley forced him to say no to his fans.

From asking Stephen Curry to keep quiet in a press conference to copying his celebration, the internet look at Riley as the mini-version of him. To add on, she looks very similar to Curry. For Curry, the joy of watching his daughter grow up is unexplainable. She is his first child, and the world has seen more of Riley when compared to the other two kids.

His mom, Sonya, believes that the birth of Riley helped Curry become a man. With that said, for 10-year-old Riley, Curry isn’t a two-time MVP or four-time NBA champion. He is her father, and on several instances, she continues to remind the media about the same.

Curry said, “I was at my daughter’s volleyball practice this morning and watching her and kind of in the moment, and you’ve got people every 30 seconds coming up, trying to get a picture. … Respectfully, not right now, I’m watching my daughter. And they understand. …”
