Stephen Curry has some of the most iconic celebrations in the NBA. He is the greatest shooter in NBA history and can score from almost anywhere on the court, be it from the logo or from the corner.
Steph Curry, with his special powers, puts his opponents to sleep, leaving defenders in their wake as he makes the basket. He is a genius in offense and is basically unguardable. He loves to cook defenders and like a skilled chef, is a master of his craft. One of Curry’s most influential celebrations is the “Night Night” celly.
Curry explained “night night” celly origin
Curry’s “night night” celebration is contagious. Like an epidemic it has transcended to all of sports. Stephen Curry had never thought that a simple celebration would get so famous. Steph recently looked back at when he first did it.
“The first time I did it was Game 3 in Denver. It happened quick, and it was one of those situations where you were back in the playoffs vibe,” Curry said in an interview with Boardroom’s Nick DePaula.
“We had missed it for two years. I was just feeling amped being back on that stage.” The four-time NBA champion added that down the stretch in the fourth quarter after a critical stop, he was just talking to himself.
“‘Put ’em to sleep. Put ’em to sleep.’ That was the conversation I was having with myself. Not with anyone else on the team or anyone else in the arena,” Curry said.
After hitting a tough layup against Nikola Jokic, Curry decided to do the then unnamed celebration. “I didn’t say, ‘night night’ at the time. I was just telling myself, ‘Put ’em to sleep,’ ” Curry recalled.
“Fast forward to Game 5, when I made the last layup to go up five with 19 seconds left. That was the official, ‘Put them to sleep.’ The camera didn’t get me on that one, but I actually said it.”
From then onwards the “Night Night” became a famous celebration with Curry doing it in each of the following series against the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, and in the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. People have fallen in love with the celebration and the credit goes to the very best Steph Curry.
