With its “Night Night” celebration, Stephen Curry had ignited the final of the France – United States Olympic Games, and this night, it was imitated by Draymond Green. Author of a thunderous dunk at the end of the match, the Warriors interior took the opportunity to imitate his teammate and upset Rudy Gobert in particular, and the Wolves in general. After the meeting, Stephen Curry commented on this “borrowing”.
“I had never seen him do that, but I know he was in Paris for the Olympic final” reacts the leader of the Warriors. “I'm sure he'll make a decisive 3-pointer at some point, but the decisive dunk tonight is new territory for 'Night Night,' because you'll never see me do that…”
A more aggressive version
Overall, what does he think of this moment when Draymond Green said “good night” to the Wolves? “At the time, I didn’t see it. I only saw the very end. I didn't know he did it all over the field. Let's just say his is a little more aggressive than mine, and I like that, I like that. He knew how to make it his own. »
A “more aggressive” version because Draymond Green had just scored a huge dunk.
“We needed this moment” concedes Stephen Curry. “I know he needed this moment. He played incredible all night. Typical of a Draymond match: if you just look at the stats without having seen the match, you say 'ok', but if you watch the match, you understand its impact. And then, we reverse the roles: it's me who sets the screen for him, he who goes up for the dunk and who gets the crowd on their feet. »
In the end, Stephen Curry emphasizes that Draymond Green does not “ didn't ask permission to use 'Night Night' before, but it was his night, his time to shine. »
