On the way to winning the 2022 NBA championship, Steph Curry had to go through the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics. After drilling a clutch bucket to send home whatever team that was in his way, Curry broke out his new “night night” celebration.
The night night look quickly caught fire and became a signature celebration in Curry’s arsenal. With the NBA Finals wrapped up, Curry’s move is spreading to other leagues.
While closing out the Atlanta Dream, Liberty All-Star guard Sabrina Ionescu pulled up from way behind the arc to barry a dagger 3-pointer. After drilling the deep triple, Ionescu broke out the night night celebration.

Ionescu led the Liberty with 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the floor with nine boards, eight assists and a steal in 34 minutes during New York’s 89-77 win over Atlanta.
Following Ionescu’s home run jumper against the Dream, Steph Curry chimed in on Twitter with a message for the 24-year-old shooter.
