Steph Curry has always been one of the best players in the world — we already knew that.
You don’t get the NBA’s 3-point record by not being great. The shots the dude can hit are absolutely ridiculous. He’s also had multiple ridiculous Finals moments that have put him up there with the greatest players of all time.
But what I think most people miss about Curry is how much of an absolute savage he is. And he’s also not afraid to let you know that he’s better than you or that he’s going to beat you. It’s why we saw him put a ring on it in the middle of the NBA Finals.
The internet got another glimpse at just how savage Curry is on Friday.
NBA writer Joe Viray was reviewing playoff tape in preparation for next season when he stumbled upon this clip of Curry against the Nuggets. He noticed Curry did his now infamous “night night” gesture before he went right at Nikola Jokic on defense to close the game out.
He blows by him out of the pick and roll, makes the layup and does the gesture again. Like I said, dude is a savage.
Been re-watching the playoffs and I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but…
Watch Steph Curry do the Night Night "playcall" directed toward the bench, before he attacks Jokić in spread PnR and scores — after which he does the Night Night again.
