Here’s Muggsy Bogues carrying young Steph Curry in the Hornets locker room
Based solely on social media impact, Riley Curry, daughter of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen, was most dominant figure of the 2015 NBA Playoffs. From her first appearance at one of her dad’s press conferences to her confetti collection at the championship parade, Riley grabbed attention and took her rightful place at the top of the ranks of NBA babies and toddlers. The only question is what she’ll do next.

Yet full appreciation of Rileymania requires some context. More specifically, we should acknowledge that her dad was also pretty darn adorable back when he was a young child and his father Dell Curry played for the Charlotte Hornets.

As of right now, Riley has no equivalent video. Which really makes you wonder why no one had Leandro Barbosa do the airplane with her around all the Warriors lockers.
