The Golden State Warriors hosted the Denver Nuggets for 2nd game of the regular season tonight. After beating the Lakers 123-109, the Warriors would have hoped to build a winning streak to kick off the season. However, 2x MVP Nikola Jokic had other plans.
The Nuggets took the lead as big as 20-points, and the Warriors were left playing catch up. They did come as close as one point, but the Nuggets made one final push to seal the game.
Nikola Jokic recorded his 77th career triple-double, as he recorded 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. Six other Nuggets’ players also scored in double digits as they beat the defending champions.
After the game, Stephen Curry was asked about his iconic celebration.
Stephen Curry gets candid about his ‘Night Night’ celebration
Over the course of the 2022 Playoffs, we saw a new side of Stephen Curry. He was more expressive, let his emotions surface, and seemed like he was enjoying each moment. During the same time, we saw Steph pull out a celebration that was new for him. He started doing the ‘Night Night’ celebration, expressing that he put the teams to sleep.
Today a reporter asked him about the same after the game. They asked Steph how he would respond if some other team puts him to sleep, just like he did to many last season.
Curry smirked and said, “We’ll see if anyone’s bold enough to do it.”
Enough said. The Chef is the defending champion and the reigning Finals MVP. Teams need to give him his respect, and that’s all.
Has Steph breached the Top-10 boundary?
This abovementioned question has become the favorite topic of debate on NBA-related shows after the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Stephen Curry has revolutionized the game and is a 4x NBA Champion, 2x MVP, and 1x Finals MVP. These things alone, without mentioning the rest of his resume, are good enough to get him in as a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer.
However, to get in the game’s Top 10, we must look closely at his accomplishments. Steph is the league’s leading 3-point shooter, holding the record for both the regular season and the playoffs. He has been the heart and soul of the Warriors’ offense for a decade now, and has won 4 titles in eight seasons at a time when it’s considered to be LeBron James’ era.
Every year, Steph has shown us how his game has improved, and he’s improving every day. In my opinion, the Warriors superstar has breached the threshold needed to get him in the Top 10 of the sport.
