Stephen Curry says bringing daughter to interview was a last-minute call

Thu., May 21, 2015

Stephen Curry knows he may no longer be the biggest star in his family. At least for one day, that title belonged to his 2-year-old daughter, Riley. She stole the spotlight from the Golden State Warriors guard and NBA MVP during his news conference after Tuesday night’s victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Curry described it as a spur-of-the-moment decision between dad and daughter. “I didn’t know how she was going to act because that’s the first time I’ve ever brought her up there,” Curry said Wednesday. “Once she started laughing after the first question when she heard my voice in the microphone, I knew it was going to be downhill from there.” Riley , at one point, muttered a few words and Curry asked her to “hold on a second, OK?” She replied, “Be quiet,” drawing laughs from the room. – AP
