Former Warrior Reveals Stephen Curry’s Unusual Way of Hyping Up Self in the Middle of the Game
Each NBA player has their own rituals before games. Stephen Curry’s might be the most unusual—and the one that incorporates technology the most. He even performs it at the most extraordinary times. LeBron James has his powder toss. Russell Westbrook has his PB&J and dancing. Kevin Garnett loves banging his head against the padded basket [...]
In the world of NBA, each player possesses their own peculiar pre-game routines. Stephen Curry's, however, stands out for its technological twist. Moreover, this ritual occurs at the most unusual moments. Former teammate and brother-in-law of Curry, Damion Lee, divulged that the four-time champion finds his pre-game motivation in a peculiar manner.
During halftime, Curry would head to social media, then known as Twitter, to search for his detractors. This eccentric behavior took place during the most critical moments of the game. Lee mentioned this odd habit during a podcast interview with WNBA star Cameron Brink. "I was next to him in the locker room. He would type in his name on Twitter at halftime, and it'd be like, 'Oh, Stephen Curry this,' whatever," Lee recalled.
He would then spend a minute or so to scroll through the comments, close his phone, and then explode in the second half. Curry's story highlights a potential new facet of his legendary persona. Although his team, the Warriors, are not considered contenders due to their lack of significant offseason moves, Curry continues to strive for success.
The team's roster is dominated by players over 30 years old, including Curry himself, who is 38. Despite this, Curry believes in the potential of rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who was selected with the 11th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
