Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers thought Stephen Curry's “T” celebration after draining a three-pointer on the Los Angeles Clippers was hilarious.
It can be recalled that the Warriors thumped the Clippers 105-90 on Saturday and the biggest story was how Steph Curry used the technical foul in the fourth quarter as motivation.
With over five minutes remaining in the fourth, Curry nailed a step-back three-pointer on the Clippers which prompted the home team to call a timeout. Pumped up, the two-time NBA scoring champ himself did a “T” hand gesture, obviously mocking the Clippers.

“He T’ed himself up,” Myers said on 95.7 The Game's The Morning Roast via NBC Sports. “That was a little out of Steph's character. I started laughing, that was pretty good.”
“Yeah, I didn't mind it,” he added. “He's such an amazing leader, and in the season of 82 games, it's kind of like how [former San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey] was. You gotta have some kind of calmness to it too because it's so long. But we balance that out with Draymond [Green] who's anything but calm. Maybe you have both kinds of leaders and it works well with our team.”
Reflecting on his rare technical foul, Curry admitted that he and the Warriors “fueled off of” it and instead of completely losing focus, they used their energy to play even harder.
