They are a common sight on the sidelines during the Warriors games. And it has led to some awkward situations in the past. Like everyone in the family, Sonya was also an athlete. She was a student-athlete at Virginia Tech, playing volleyball.

Other than the stuff that goes on social media, the trash-talking in the NBA can get out of hand at times. So maybe it was a warning for fellow NBA stars, we will never know. While Curry might not be the one for a lot of trash-talking, he can definitely hit back with his celebrations. His iconic ‘Night Night’ celebration during the NBA playoffs last year is now everywhere. Fans around the world are using the celebration from pick-up games to competitive games.

However, Curry revealed that it was not a pre-planned celebration. In game 2 of the series against the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors were behind by as many as 19 points. On the back of a splendid Stephen Curry performance, the Dubs mounted a comeback. The former MVP scored 32 points with 6 3-pointers to help his team win 126-117.
