It’s not every day Warriors superstar guard Steph Curry drops a hilarious line—much less assumes uncle status.
But thanks to the young Warriors core’s performance in Golden State’s 131-118 bounce-back win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday at Chase Center, Curry, 37, dropped a hilarious blurb for the ages, embracing the humorous social media slang term “unc.”
To describe the Warriors’ veteran trio, that is.
“It’s just how we play. There’s not a lot of iso ball in our offense. So, we have to have guys who have confidence that if a possession says it’s your turn to finish, they’re able to make plays,” Curry told reporters.
“There will be games when all the ‘uncs’ are out, and they [the young core] will have to step up. So we want to be able to fill that gas tank as well. It is huge.”

In a game in which stars Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green combined for 43 points, young swingman Jonathan Kuminga had his best game of the season with a game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds.
Guard Brandin Podziemski had 23 points and six assists, while Moses Moody added 20 in 22 minutes off the bench.
Curry also expanded on the role the Young Three played in earning Golden State’s third win of the season.
“You’ve got me, Draymond, and Jimmy playing the anchors. But when you have JK [Kuminga] playing the way he has to start the year,” Curry added. “BP [Podziemski] is starting to figure out his spots, his confidence, and keeping things simple.
“And now that you’ve got Mo [Moody] back, you’ve got another guy who can space the floor and knock down shots.”

In more formal words, the youngsters stepped up for the uncles. Curry’s funny assessment is spot on.
