When Curry and his young son Canon were shown on the videoboard, fans in attendance began chanting "MVP" and in response, Steph gave them the "night night" gesture.
Curry began using the celebration during the Warriors' first-round NBA playoff series against the Denver Nuggets and he carried it throughout the postseason run, breaking it out at moments when he knew he had ended his opponent's chances of winning the game or series.
Since the Warriors beat the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, Curry's celebration has been used by athletes across several different sports.
