After\u00a0his monstrous fourth quarter\u00a0carried Golden State to\u00a0a 113-103 road win\u00a0over the Minnesota Timberwolves,\u00a0Steph Curry\u00a0joined “Warriors Postgame Live” to recap the much-needed victory.<\/p>\n
To wrap up the interview, Curry took some time to honor former Oakland Athletic Rickey Henderson, a Bay Area legend\u00a0who passed away Friday night.<\/p>\n
“A major shoutout, condolences to the entire Henderson family,” Curry told Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin and Festus Ezeli. “Growing up as an adult in the Bay Area — especially what he did in Oakland — it resonates with me in terms of representing the Bay, and doing it at a legendary, iconic level. [There’s] nobody like him, and so condolences to the whole family. I know the whole Bay Area mourns with them tonight.”<\/p>\n

It’s clear that even though Curry didn’t grow up in the Bay Area watching Henderson, the Warriors star looked up to the National Baseball Hall of Famer as a trailblazer among great athletes in the region.<\/p>\n
Curry also appeared to honor Henderson before the Warriors played Saturday night.\u00a0He was photographed raising up his arms<\/a>\u00a0with a ball in one hand, perhaps a tribute to the iconic moment when the “Man of Steal”\u00a0claimed his record-setting 939th career stolen base.<\/a><\/p>\n
