Stephen Curry, a four-time NBA champion, embraced his paternal side following USA Basketball’s 86-72 triumph over Team Canada on Wednesday evening at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. Curry, who contributed 12 points, three assists, and three successful three-pointers during the game, engaged in a postgame interview with Fox Sports’ Kristina Pink, joined by his United States national basketball teammate, LeBron James.
At the conclusion of the interview, Curry took a moment to deliver a heartfelt birthday greeting to his daughter Ryan. “I’m not sure if you have one more question,” Curry remarked to Pink, “but it’s my daughter’s ninth birthday. Happy Birthday Ryan, I wish I could be there… We’re here playing basketball, doing what we love.” “I miss you, love you. Happy Birthday!”
Curry certainly would have preferred to be at home celebrating his daughter’s birthday, but he still had an enjoyable evening on the court at the T-Mobile Arena. He gained attention online for striking a humorous pose after scoring and later teamed up with James for an alley-oop, sparking speculation among NBA fans about what might have happened if they had ever been teammates.
However, one of Curry’s standout moments was his heartfelt birthday message after the game.
