So, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry had himself a day on Sunday.
The Warriors locked up the West’s No. 8 seed with their 113-101 win over the Grizzlies. Curry — at 33 — earned the NBA scoring title with his 46-point effort. Oh, and he finally had a chance to break out the Baron Davis celebration in a game.
It really was a great, all-around day for Curry.
Late in the fourth quarter, Curry knocked down a step-back 3 to put the game away — to give him 44 at that time. As the Grizzlies called a timeout, Curry turned to the crowd and lifted up his jersey. He also shouted “Woo!” which was picked up on the broadcast.

The celebration may look familiar, though. He did the Baron Davis.

That celebration from Davis came 14 years ago following his dunk on Andrei Kirilenko in the playoffs.

And earlier this season, Steph broke out the Baron Davis celly after a dunk in warmups.

But hey, it’s good to see him get a chance to use the celebration in a game. Nicely done, Steph.
