The Warriors seem to be at the center of the basketball universe these days, evidenced by not only all of the attention devoted to them by seemingly everyone connected within the basketball world, but the fact that even the mundane becomes extraordinary when attached to the Warriors.
The most recent example is a mouthguard that was apparently worn by Stephen Curry during a game in December.
Somehow a fan got ahold of it, and it was sold for $3,190 at an online auction. It’s a testament to how popular of a player Curry is.
That mouthguard is becoming synonymous with Curry the same way Horace Grant’s goggles became his trademark, or Allen Iverson’s sleeve defined his on-court persona.
