Stephen Curry didn’t need to say much, he just needed two numbers.
After a wild back and forth duel with Victor Wembanyama, the Warriors superstar delivered a playful, perfectly timed joke: a nod to the “6-7” meme that kids across the country have turned into a cultural moment. And yes, Curry dropped it right after outdueling Wemby in a game that felt as big as any postseason showdown.
It was classic Curry lighthearted, clever, and just cocky enough without crossing the line. If the Warriors had lost, their record would’ve dropped to 6-7, the exact number that has become a running joke among kids, teens, and even NBA players mimicking the viral gesture.
Curry’s playful nod to the “6-7” craze steals the spotlight
Coming off a brutal back to back and after being clowned online for the “Olden State Warriors” nickname Curry responded the only way he knows how: by turning the court into his personal stage. He torched the Spurs for 46 points, hitting impossible threes and stealing every ounce of momentum the young San Antonio squad tried to build.
Across from him, Victor Wembanyama delivered a monster performance of his own, putting up 31 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, a full triple double from a 21-year-old unicorn who continues to redefine what a big man can be. And yet, despite Wemby’s brilliance, it was still Curry who walked away with the true mic-drop moment.
After the 125-120 win, Curry joked about the Warriors avoiding a 6-7 record a wink straight at the meme Wemby himself unintentionally helped amplify among young fans.
Stats that show Curry is still at the top of the sport
Even at 37, Stephen Curry continues to produce superstar numbers that many younger players can’t touch. This season alone, he’s averaging over 29 points per game, ranks among the top five in made threes, and remains one of the league’s most reliable clutch-time scorers with a consistently high usage rate.
He’s already notched multiple 40 point performances despite carrying a veteran-heavy roster, and with the Warriors fighting to stay above .500, Curry’s brilliance has been the force keeping them afloat proving once again that he’s still more than capable of leading an aging team through the toughest stretches of the season.
