Stephen Curry is a household name on the basketball court and rightfully so. He’s a three-time NBA champion, a two-time MVP and the best shooter to ever play the game. Period.
So, of course, everyone knows his name. Or at least what we call him, anyway. Probably not many people know his full name is Wardell Stephen Curry II, named after his dad, Dell, who also played in the NBA.
You rarely hear Curry being called by his actual first name. It just doesn’t happen. Until Thursday, that is.
During the Warriors media availability, a reporter called Curry by his actual first name and drew out the most hilarious response.
Steph Curry’s reaction to @ThompsonScribe addressing him with a “Wardell” is …

LOL. That is absolutely hilarious.
Now, to be clear, the reporter in question here is The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson. And he has a pretty great relationship with Curry, so this is probably an inside joke between the two of them.
And what a great joke it was. It just got us some brand new meme material. Just look at this face.
Yup. That’s it. That’s definitely the look. That same look you give when anybody who isn’t your mom calls you by your actual first name. That’s also the look that you give when your mom calls you by your actual name because you know you’re definitely in trouble right now.
This is great. Pure comedy. Shouts to Wardell — both of them.
