Her Journey To National Stardom…

Riley Curry was only two years old when she became a centre of attention. Prior to that story-changing press conference after a game in May 2015, Riley was just known as Stephen Curry’s first daughter and that was all. But all that changed during this particular post-game press conference as her father answered questions from the media. She appeared on the stage out of the blues and demanded to sit on her fathers’ lap. That was at least, the easy part. Fast forward to a few minutes later as the engagement continued between Stephen Curry and the press, Riley looked up at her father, smiled childishly (of course, she’s a child), and told him to keep quiet! And that began her journey into the spotlight as everyone wanted to know something more about this cute little lady that just announced herself to the world in such a super cool manner.

Riley was at it again after Stephen had just won another MVP award (for the second time and consecutively), she appeared in his post-game conference again, this time she wanted to sing for the journalists who were waiting to ask her father questions. She sang Blessings by Big Sean and since then, as basketball lovers continue to be treated to the amazing basketball prowess of her father, people also look forward to that moment with Riley Curry as she continues to steal the hearts of game fans and also share the spotlight with her father… something even her mother or her uncle, Seth Curry, who is a pro-basketball player himself has not managed to do.
