Reasons We Love the Curry Family

1 When Riley Improved the Quality of Her Dad's Postgame Interviews

After he helped his team defeat the Houston Rockets in May, Steph attended his postgame interview with a then 2-year-old Riley in tow. While reporters attempted to get responses to their questions from Curry, Riley proceeded to treat her audience to funny faces, waves, comments, and giggles (and even a hilarious game of hide-and-seek with her daddy).

2 When Riley Sang "Blessings" by Drake in the Middle of a Press Conference

In what may have been the cutest sports press conference ever, Riley played peek-a-boo behind a curtain, asked her dad for some help putting on a bracelet, yawned, waved, and even sang "Blessings" by Big Sean and Drake (which Drake then shared on Instagram). Though some reporters took issue with the tot's presence in the press room, the rest of the world fell more in love with the pint-size cutie.

3 When Riley Helped Her Dad With His Pregame Ritual

Steph's iconic "chest bump and point to the sky" ritual became a family affair before a June game against the Cavaliers. The NBA posted this slow-motion video to their YouTube channel of Ayesha lifting Riley to Stephen as they performed the ritual, which was followed by the world's most adorable father-daughter kiss.

Before baby number two arrived, Steph took Riley on a daddy-daughter date to the movies, and posted this sweet snap to Instagram. "Someone was excited to see a movie about a girl named 'Riley.' I give that movie a 10/10. Great story. Made everybody laugh. And baby girl actually sat through the whole thing," the caption read — which cued a collective "awww" from the whole world.

8 When Riley Got More Love From the Audience at Jimmy Kimmel Than Steph

Stephen Curry was a Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest back in August, but Riley — as usual — stole the show. Midinterview Jimmy called attention to Riley becoming a viral star, and the audience applauded louder than they did when Stephen walked out. She sat proudly on her mama's lap and smirked for the camera, which was all just too much cuteness to handle.

In November, 3-year-old Riley made her modeling debut for Freshly Picked, becoming the face for a pair of their kid moccasins, The Next Steps. The photos of Riley in the adorable gold kicks showed off her big personality and made us wish the moccs came in adult sizes, too.
