The Golden State Warriors secured a 134-117 home win against the Utah Jazz, as Stephen Curry led the way with 31 points, four rebounds, two blocks, and six three-pointers on 12-for-24 shooting from the field in 29 minutes of action.
But more than his on-court production, Curry raised eyebrows when he wore the Sabrina 3s on the court, marking the first time he wore Nikes in a game since 2013. After the game, the Golden State Warriors guard detailed his relationship with WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, who was in attendance.
“We have a long history — she’s from the Bay, and just obviously following her career,” Curry told reporters via NBC Sports Bay Area. “There was a time when she was coming out of school, and I was trying to get her to Curry Brand. It’s hard to get an Oregon Duck to leave Nike. But it was cool.”
“It was kind of a coincidence — I didn’t know she was going to be here until yesterday — and I just had a pair of shoes, and it was a great moment. She’s doing amazing things, she’s a champ, and to honor another Bay Area athlete that’s doing amazing stuff,” he added.
Golden State Warriors News: Stephen Curry sends clear message amid sneaker free agency
Stephen Curry also wore Jordan pairs during the pregame warmups yesterday, and the Golden State Warriors star said he is simply enjoying and maximizing his sneaker free agency.
“It’s kind of cool understanding the history of the game and the themes around certain teams we’re playing,” Curry explained. “So I brought out the ‘Flu Games’ and the ‘Final Shots.’ And then played in the Sabrina 3.”
“So just kinda… Everybody should be on alert. I’m calling everybody. Trying to get some good product but it’s just fun to, again, honor certain eras, moments in the game, current athletes who are doing great things and just having fun with it,” he added.
