Time really does fly. Riley Curry, the once-adorable toddler who stole the spotlight at Stephen Curry’s press conferences, is now 12 years old—and turning heads for a different reason. The oldest daughter of the Golden State Warriors star went viral during the team’s recent play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies, not just for her celebratory dance moves with mom Ayesha, but for how much she looks like her famous father.
On the court, Steph was doing what he does best—dropping 37 points and leading the Warriors to victory. Off the court, it was Riley capturing attention, nearly as tall as her 5-foot-8 mom and radiating the same charm that made her a fan favorite years ago.
It’s hard to believe how much time has passed. Back in 2015, when Steph was winning his first of four NBA titles, Riley was just a baby. Even then, she had a knack for mimicking her dad—like in 2018, when she adorably pulled off his signature shimmy.
Steph and Ayesha now have a full house with four kids: Riley, Ryan (9), Cannon (6), and baby Cai, who arrived in May. But it’s Riley’s transformation that has fans doing a double take. A recent side-by-side photo of her from the Grizzlies game next to a snapshot from Steph’s first championship shows just how grown up she’s become—and how much she still resembles her dad.
Here she is, once again celebrating with him—just like she did back in 2017 after the Warriors took home the title.
Steph might be 37 now, but he’s still playing at an elite level. And with Riley by his side, there’s a nostalgic hope in the air—maybe they’ll get to celebrate one more championship together, just like old times.
