Stephen Curry’s family has been in the limelight ever since he began his ascension to superstardom back in 2015. As the Warriors were on their path to winning their first NBA Championship during their lengthy run as a dynasty, Curry’s wife Ayesha and daughter Riley were typically present at press conferences in one form or another.
Riley, who was still a relatively young child at the time, stole the show when she appeared as press conferences, giving hilarious soundbites and moments. Fast forward to the present day, and Riley is approaching her teenage years.
While Curry has always made sure to have his family watching, the focus has been less on the rest of the family and more about what Curry has been able to accomplish as one of the leading stars in the league.
Ayesha and Riley Curry Celebrate Warriors Win
As the Warriors were able to emerge as the winners of their play-in game, it felt like a full circle moment for the Curry family. Both Ayesha and Riley celebrated with glee as Curry and his teammates go through yet another successful run at having a chance to win a title.

The Warriors have had one of the most up-and-down seasons in the entire league this year. They spent most of this season struggling to get beyond .500% in the standings before acquiring Butler. After narrowly missing the playoffs last year, the Warriors have a chance to right their wrongs. The first step was handling the Grizzlies, now the Rockets await their big-time matchup.
The stage is set for one of the most intense battles of the season. What keys to victory can the Warriors employ to get the series advantage over the Rockets?
What Can The Warriors Do To Defeat The Rockets?
The Warriors enter their matchup against the Rockets with a chip on their shoulder, and that’s exactly what they’ll need to pull out a victory. The Warriors have looked like a well-oiled machine since trading for Jimmy Butler, but the playoffs are a different animal.
The path to success for a victory against Houston starts with their top two stars, Curry and Butler. Curry is a playoff riser, as is Butler, and if the play-in is any indication, this could be one of the most dynamic duos in the playoffs, if not the best.
Key players like Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, and, of course, the defensive player of the year candidate Draymond Green will all be important to moving forward in the playoffs. Can the Warriors steal Game 1 this weekend?
