In the midst of the Warriors' locker room celebration Monday night, Stephen Curry stepped away to make an important phone call. Because despite the revelry after winning Game 7 of the Western Conference finals, sending Golden State to its fourth-straight NBA Finals, something more pressing was on Curry's mind. His friend, Jason Gaines, had just had a baby.
Hours before, Gaines and his partner welcomed their daughter Harper into the world. And although Curry couldn't be there, he did the next best thing: Facetiming his friends in the maternity ward.
"It's always bigger than basketball with my bro," Gaines wrote on Instagram.
