Earlier this week, we here at SFGATE diligently reported on a now and future meme of Steph Curry accidentally spitting out a bunch of water. It has the ingredients of a successful transition to GIF form: A widely known and well-liked public figure doing something unexpected in a clip that can be applied to almost anything.
Someday soon, a Twitter account will unleash a bad take that inspires a Curry-spit-take-dot-GIF response. In the meantime, I wanted to do some supplementary research on GIPHY. See, the Warriors have been elite, and quite popular, for a half-decade, all while GIFs have become an essential part of reacting to anything and everything.
