Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry …

Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry recently used social media to tease his next signature basketball shoe, and did so with the help of his daughter, Riley Curry. The baller shared a video on Aug. 5 via Instagram and Twitter gifting his daughter — who just turned 10 years old on July 19 — a pair of the Curry 10. The reveal in the 30-second clip was quick, although the shoe can clearly be seen.

The look in the video is predominantly …

The look in the video is predominantly black with hits of orange and yellow, and features the Curry Brand logo on the lateral side. Also, it appears to have Flow technology underfoot, which is the responsive, grippy and supportive singular-foam compound that eliminates the rubber outsole to make it lighter in weight created by Under Armour.

Steph Curry let Riley Curry unbox his new Curry 10 sneaker for her 10th birthday and it was so adorable

Riley Curry is really 10 years old, y’all. She’s as old as Steph Curry’s sneaker line.

Can y’all believe Riley Curry is already 10 years old? Man, time flies.

It feels like it was just yesterday when we saw her being the cutest baby ever during Steph Curry’s MVP ceremony. Remember that time she rejected a postgame kiss from her papa? Or how about when she forced him into doing the #InMyFeelings challenge for her 6th birthday?

Wild, right? The time is going so fast. Now she’s 10. 10 years old! And for her 10th birthday (which was actually back in July), her dad let her unbox his new Curry 10 sneakers.

That’s a pretty cool moment because, in case you didn’t know, Curry actually signed with Under Armour 10 years ago. And this is his 10th signature shoe with the brand, obviously. He talked in depth here about that with Sports Illustrated’s Jarrel Harris.

Curry just entered into a realm not many other athletes have entered into. A 10th signature sneaker with a brand is something only Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant have done so far. That’s something to be proud of. And to share it with his daughter in this way is dope.

This is almost certainly going to be one of those moments they look back on in another 10 years like “wow, that was cool.” But you can tell, at this moment, Riley is like “Daaaaad, why are you making me do this?” in the most adorable way possible.

It’s so lovely.

“These are so cool,” she said after she grabs them out of the box. And, to her credit, they are pretty cool. But not as cool as this daddy-daughter moment.

So stinking adorable. Ugh.

Steph and Ayesha Curry appear at DNC to endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 election

Steph and Ayesha Curry appeared in a virtual video at the 2020 Democratic National Convention to endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Stephen Curry had a busy Thursday.

After serving as the Golden State Warriors representative at the NBA Draft Lottery, Curry joined his wife Ayesha to make an appearance during the final night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

In a pretaped video surrounded by their family, Steph and Ayesha endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Ayesha opened the video stating, “We want to ensure that our kids live in a nation that is safe, happy, healthy and fair.” The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player followed saying, “we’re voting for Biden.”

Steph and Ayesha were then joined by their daughters Ryan and Riley for some questions about politics and the upcoming election.

After the Curry family’s video, the former Vice President chimed in on Twitter to thank Steph and Ayesha.

Via @JoeBiden on Twitter:

Curry responded to Biden’s thank you with praise for his formal acceptance speech at the DNC. The point guard called the speech “amazing.”

Via @StephenCurry30 on Twitter:

Curry joined fellow NBA All-Star LeBron James to endorse Biden. In an interview with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill, the Los Angeles Lakers forward said he would “for sure” support Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election.

Steph Curry filling in as substitute second grade teacher with family at home

Stephen Curry reveals his quarantine schedule.

On Friday, Stephen Curry hosted a pop quiz contest with other NBA players on Instagram. With no basketball on the schedule, Curry checked in with Damion Lee, Seth Curry, Mo Bamba, Kent Bazemore and other players around the league to ask them questions regarding NBA history.

Along with the quiz, Golden State’s point guard caught up with his fellow players that are also going through life without basketball. When former Warrior JaVale McGee joined Curry’s Instagram live, Curry revealed what his schedule looks like under quarantine.

While he’s off the court, Curry is spending time as a substitute teacher for his daughter Riley’s second-grade class.

Via Whitley Sandretto of 95.7 The Game:

Quarantine schedule is going great. I’m actually not the best at making the schedule, but when it comes to the day it looks something like this — wake up, get a little workout in, then my daughter’s second-grade class starts, and I’m like the substitute teacher for a little bit.

After his daughter logs into her class through a Zoom conference call, Curry supervises the in-class assignments and homework.

Follow them on the Zoom conference. They get on the whole class. Then after the class is over, I’m the one that’s got to sit there and dish out the paper and all of the materials — so she’s got to sit there and do it.

While Curry is a two-time Most Valuable Player and six-time All-Star on the court, he’s just a “three-star teacher” in the classroom, according to his daughter.

She told my mom today she said, I’m a three-star teacher, I said dang, that’s cold-blooded. I’m invested in your future young lady.

Steph and Riley Curry show off elaborate father-daughter handshake

Stephen Curry and his daughter, Riley showed off an impressive handshake before the Warriors tipped off against the Dallas Mavericks.

Since arriving at superstardom, Stephen Curry’s family has shared the limelight with the two-time Most Valuable Player. Whether it’s his parents, Sonia and Dell celebrating in the crowd, or his wife Ayesha writing her own cookbook, the Warriors’ fanbase has grown to know the Curry family like their own.

However, the most famous descendant from the Curry family tree might be Curry’s eldest daughter, Riley. The child burst onto the scene in 2015, stealing her All-Star father’s Western Conference Finals press conference by casually interrupting him throughout with laughs and telling her dad to “be quiet.”

Riley later returned to the podium when the Warriors’ clinched the Western Conference, advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time in years. Curry’s daughter took over the press conference again, this time by reciting lines from Big Sean’s rap hit “Blessings.”

Riley returned to the spotlight before her father’s MVP acceptance speech in 2016. Curry’s eldest made a grand appearance to the speech by staring down and pointing out several members of the media before her father took the stage.

Although he’s dealing with an injury, Curry’s progressing through his rehab and able to be around the Warriors’ young roster on a more consistent basis. Instead of splashing long-distance jumpers, Curry’s finding new ways to bring energy to Golden State, as the team’s lead hype man.

Before the Warriors tipped off against the Dallas Mavericks, Curry got a little pregame motivation by showing off his handshake, with none other than his daughter, Riley.

It’s safe to say that not just NBA players, but literally everyone— loves a fun handshake, and the Curry’s might take the cake. Curry’s handshake with his seven-year-old daughter is more elaborate than most pregame handshakes you’ll see across NBA warm-ups.

Curry’s handshake with his daughter is just more evidence as to why Riley is a fan-favorite across the Golden State’s “Dub Nation.”

Losing is new for Draymond Green, Steve Kerr and even Riley Curry

Losing is a new territory for the Golden State Warriors, even for the players children, like Riley Curry.

Over the past five seasons, the Golden State Warriors have spoiled basketball fans across their kingdom. Now, in 2019, starting the first 17 games with the league’s worst record, it’s a different, almost new feeling when watching the Warriors.

Older fans who followed Golden State’s struggles for decades leading to the arrival of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson might have some words of wisdom when it comes to dealing with a losing team.

However, the once prideful mentality of supporting a lovable loser ended when the team cracked off seven winning seasons with five trips to the finals and three of them finishing in championships. The new era of Golden State Warriors’ brand of basketball has become synonymous with victory.

2019 is new territory for most involved with Golden State, including the players, coaches, and even the families, who are used to the team being perennial winners.

In a recent interview with Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Green shared a story about running into one of the Curry children in the team’s family room after a loss. Curry’s oldest daughter Riley, is the latest searching for answers during the Warriors down season.

“The other day, I was getting them out of the family room after the (Celtics) game and Riley Curry was in there,” Green says of Curry’s oldest daughter. “She’s like: ‘Did we lose?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, Riley, we lost.’ She’s like: ‘Why do we keep losing?”

Although it’s just an innocent question from a seven-year-old, it’s a glimpse into the magnitude of change going on within Golden State.

Curry’s oldest daughter was born in 2012, since then, Golden State’s winning percentage in the regular season was .731, now fast forward to this year, and that percentage looks a whole lot different standing at .176— the worst of the Steve Kerr era.

Similar to Riley, winning in basketball is all Green knows. The Saginaw, Michigan product had a strong high school basketball career leading to run at Michigan State under Tom Izzo, filled with Final Four appearances and Big Ten championships. The same can be said for coach Kerr, another who’s been surrounded by winning over his career.

Kerr played in a Final Four himself at Arizona before winning five championships as a player, and three as a coach.

As much as 2019 has turned into an evaluation year for young players, it’s also a learning experience for Kerr and Green. The decorated duo’s response to an outlier season filled with blowout losses could have an impact on 2020 and beyond.
