Her Journey To National Stardom…
Riley curry was only two years old when she came to the forefront of attention. Before this history-changing press conference after a May 2015 game, Riley was only known as Stephen Curry’s first daughter, and that was it. But all that changed during that special post-match press conference when her father answered questions from the media. She appeared on stage from the blues and demanded to sit on her father’s lap. At least that was the easy part. A few minutes later, as the engagement between Stephen Curry and the press continued, Riley looked up at her father, smiled childishly (of course she’s a child), and told him to keep quiet! And so began her journey into the limelight, because everyone wanted to know a little bit more about this sweet little lady who had just announced herself to the world in such a super-cool way.
Riley was back after Stephen had just won another MVP award (for the second time and in a row), she reappeared at his post-game conference, this time singing for the journalists waiting to ask her father questions. She sang Blessings by Big Sean, and since then basketball lovers continue to be treated to her father’s amazing basketball skills, and people look forward to this moment with Riley Curry as she continues to steal the hearts of fans and share the spotlight with her father… something that not even her mother or her uncle Seth Curry, who is a professional basketball player himself, could do.
