Hi @StephenCurry30 if you see this at halftime, would you consider running back on the court with your arms out like a Stepherson Airplane?

Stephen Curry does the airplane celebration for Kerith Burke

Curry’s teammate Draymond Green had once revealed that Curry likes to check his mentions during the half-time break. Green had said that Curry uses the comments as motivation to do better in the other half of the game.

When Kerith Burke asked Curry to do the airplane celebration, he did not shy away from her request. With a little over 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, Curry hit a deep 3, and made the airplane sign on his way back.

The Warriors have a tough few games ahead of them to wrap this road trip. They face the Celtics, Sixers, and the Wizards before they head home to take on the Nuggets. Curry and co. would like to get a few more wins and get that 8th spot, so the play-in games become easier for them.
