Steph Curry “Night Night’ Celebration
Steph Curry’s NBA Finals ‘Night Night’ celebration is taking over the world.
While the gesture has been used before in the sports world, Curry has a way of making it mainstream. His celebration is more popular than ever with athletes and children copying his gesture after hitting a shot or scoring.
Curry used the ‘night-night’ celebration throughout the playoffs but the most memorable one was during the NBA Finals after hitting a three-point dagger late in the fourth quarter of Game 6.
