Watch: Steph Curry working on new dance inspired by E-40’s ‘Verzuz’ performance

After Bay Area rap icons E-40 and Too Short battled in the latest edition of “Verzuz,” Steph Curry showed off a new dance celebration.

Adding to the lore of his renowned shot from beyond the arc, Stephen Curry’s post jumper shimmy has grown part of his signature long-distance jumper. However, the two-time Most Valuable Player might have a new celebration for the 2020-21 campaign. 

On Saturday, Bay Area music icons E-40 and Too $hort joined forces for the latest “Verzuz” rap battle. While each rapper performed snippets from their storied music catalog, E-40 and Too $hort were showing off different dance moves. During the performance, Curry was taking note.

After the show ended, the point guard was asked on Twitter about replacing his signature shimmy with one of E-40’s moves from Verzuz. The six-time All-Star replied with a video featuring an E-40 inspired dance.

Before the Verzuz battle was underway, Curry joined E-40 on a FaceTime call to preview the event and make a song request.

Curry will have his first chance at displaying his new set of dance moves on Tuesday in New York when the Warriors open the 2020-21 regular season against the Brooklyn Nets.

Anthony Davis has become the Lakers’ technology guy in the bubble

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports and the NBA on TNT reported that the Lakers have been asking Anthony Davis for help with technical issues.

Anybody who has been counted on in their household to take care of technological matters can relate to Anthony Davis and his new role for the Los Angeles Lakers and his teammates, within the Orlando Bubble. No, nothing about Davis’ on-court job is any different than it normally is. However, when the Lakers leave the court, Davis has picked up a new role: Chief Technology Officer of Lakers Leisure.

Yahoo’s Chris Haynes reported on Tuesday morning that Davis’ room has become the hot hangout spot for players on the Lakers, mostly because Davis knows how to plug in the proper technology for whatever is the Lakers are doing that day, including the team Madden tournament.

“I’m one of the few who has a suite and I’m the tech guy of the team who knows how to set up all the devices and connect them to the TV,” the star forward told Yahoo Sports. “LeBron [James] is a big Snoop Dogg fan and actually a big DMX fan, and so my room made sense. It started with that and then we just kept it going from there.”

Knowing how much the Lakers are putting on Davis, I’m willing to forgive the fact that he currently has a losing record in the Madden Tournament despite playing with the Baltimore Ravens. He’s clearly got a lot more on his plate to deal with in these tournaments.
