Steph Curry, LeBron James React to Kid’s ’Night-Night’ Taunt
More than anyone else, Warriors star Stephen Curry is credited with pioneering basketball’s three-point revolution. Now, it appears the reigning NBA Finals MVP is making an impact on youth basketball celebrations.
During his run to his fourth title in eight years, Curry popularized his “night-night” taunt, in which he put his hands together and held them to the side of his face to signify that the game was being put to bed. In a recent youth basketball game, a child took Curry’s antics one step further by actually lying down on the floor in a mimicked sleep after hitting a shot—getting the attention of Curry and other NBA stars, including LeBron James.
