Steph Curry chimes in with signature ‘Lock in! #dubnation’ tweet before the NBA Draft Lottery

Steph Curry provided his own version of a good luck charm before the NBA Draft Lottery with his signature “Lock in #Dubnation!” tweet.

It’s been a long time since Stephen Curry laced up for the Golden State Warriors. With the two-time Most Valuable Player’s layoff, all the theater surrounding Curry on the basketball court has been missing. The tunnel shot, his famed dribbling routine and his signature pregame tweet.

Although he wasn’t suiting up for the NBA Playoffs in the Orlando Bubble, the six-time All-Star shared a familiar tweet.

On Thursday, Curry served as the Golden State Warriors representative at the NBA Draft Lottery. Before NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced the draft order, Curry shared a unique edition of his “Lock in” tweet.

Via @StephenCurry30 on Twitter:

Lock in! #dubnation ….I guess! This is weird, but let’s get it.

When the ping pong balls were set into action, Curry’s tweet provided a proper good luck charm for the Warriors. With a guaranteed spot in the top-five, Golden State ended the lottery landing the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

After the Lottery, the Warriors shared a message featuring their decorated point guard.

With the Warriors outside of playoff action in the Orlando Bubble, Curry will have to wait for the tip-off of the 2020-21 NBA season for his next opportunity for a signature tweet.

D’Angelo Russell shows off new Golden State themed Way of Wade shoes

D’Angelo Russel took to Instagram to show off a new pair of Warriors themed Way of Wade shoes.

It’s been a whirlwind season for D’Angelo Russell since arriving in Golden State. There’s been trade speculation, injuries and no Stephen Curry in Russell’s first season with the Dubs. Still, the 23-year-old did get a notable upgrade to his shoe game.

In November, Russell signed a partnership with Dwyane Wade’s Li-Ning Way of Wade shoe brand. Since joining Wade, the Ohio State product has been rolling out new Way of Wade “Infinity” shoes throughout the season, with his latest decked out in a familiar colorway.

Russell went to his Instagram story to show off his new Warriors themed Way of Wade Inifinity kicks.

In the video, Russell shows off three different Warrior-centric colorways in white, blue and black. Each shoe had Russell’s nickname, “…Loading” imprinted on the pull tab of the kick’s tongue.

The on-court debut of Russell’s new Warriors themed shoes is undetermined as the All-Star guard is dealing with a lingering shoulder injury after colliding with Luka Donic.

Russell’s missed the past two games for Golden State against San Antonio and Minnesota with a sore shoulder. Prior to losing Russell via injury, Golden State won four-straight games for the first time all season. Without the Louisville native, the Dubs have dropped two in a row.

During their four-game win streak, Russell pulled out another new edition of his Way of Wade shoes on Christmas Day against the Houston Rockets. The future Hall of Famer, Wade, took to Twitter to support Russell’s shoe choice.

According to the Way of Wade Instagram, Russell’s Infinity shoes will be released globally on January 11.
