Riley and Ryan Curry

Stephen has probably eclipsed chicken as the most popular Curry in the United States. He’s one of the league’s best players and he’s a legitimate superstar. He’s a two-time MVP and, now, a two-time champion.

Steph might not even be the most popular Curry in the Bay Area, if we’re being honest. It doesn’t matter what Steph is doing, if one of his daughters is in the vicinity, they are the real stars. They know how to put on a show.

They will be at the parade. Just like how star chef Ayesha will also be there. The rest of the Curry claim–Seth, Sonja, Dell–will probably also be in attendance.

But none of them are nearly as exciting as Riley or Ryan Curry. The former made a splash in 2015 when she would join her father during postgame press conferences. The latter is getting ready to make her own mark.

There was a noticeable shortage of Riley in this year’s playoffs. But in her short time on screen after the Warriors won the championship, she dazzled. She was dancing and moving her hat around and just being awesome.

We need a lot of Riley and Ryan at the parade. Maybe Steph and Ayesha will get them a lot of cotton candy or something, but they need to bring the energy. They’re, mostly, not afraid of being in the spotlight.

In fact, I think we’d all be better of if one of them MC’d the event instead of Bob Fitzgerald. Or if they gave a speech about anything instead of Peter Guber. Really, just let the Curry girls take over.

Riley and Ryan are like royalty in the Bay Area. Let them wear the crown that Steph took from the guy in Cleveland and put on a show.
