Stephen Curry meets 9-year-old fan Riley Morrison and swimmer Katie Ledecky to trade dad jokes. Riley wrote Curry about his sneakers lacking girls' sizes, so Curry commits to making them inclusive. He also ranks NBA arena popcorn, calling Brooklyn the best and LA the worst.
Chapters
My sister was actually wondering if you have a good dad joke.
A good dad joke. What do you call a man with a rubber toe?
I don't know.
Roberto. I made her laugh. Yes. I think I see somebody I know.
Stephen Curry is fixing a problem with his shoe brand pointed out by a 9-year-old girl. Riley Morrison wrote him a letter asking why his Curry 5 sneakers were being marketed to boys and were not available in girls' sizes. In her words, girls wanna rock the shoes too.
Nice to see you. Nice to see you. You know my friend Katie?
Yeah.
Are you hungry?
Yeah.
Yeah? All right, cool. Let's go do it. Let's go. I wanna talk a little bit, talk about how we met, talk about Katie's career and all the things she's got going on too. Does that sound good?
Mm-hmm.
Right now, just background, it's 11:40 PM after a basketball game. Katie has a 6:30 training session tomorrow at Stanford.
Mm-hmm.
So she is sacrificing a lot of her sleep right now to be with us, so I appreciate that.
It's all good.
But that speaks to your success is no accident.
You can't miss a practice.
You can't miss a practice. You like to practice, right? Mm-hmm. It's a good start. Some people might not answer it that way, and that's what separates the greats from the people you slam by on your way to the world.
I like practice more than I like racing.
Really? I wish I could say the same. Do you know your dad's favorite dad joke?
Have you heard about the Spanish magician?
No.
He said, "On the count of 3, I'll disappear." And he said, "Uno, dos," and disappeared without a trace.
Respect.
I like your dad already.
I heard that you love popcorn. I do like popcorn. So I got you some popcorn.
I have a huge popcorn addiction, I call it. There are 29 arenas in the NBA, so I have a ranking of every arena based on the freshness, the saltiness, the butteriness, and the crunch of the popcorn.
Where's the best?
The best right now is in Brooklyn. Brooklyn, Miami, Dallas, then at the very bottom, is LA. I don't know what happened in LA, but they have— sorry, they have the worst popcorn in the league. So they got to get better. They got to get better.
My sister told me a popcorn joke today.
OK.
It was, why don't you hear a lot of popcorn jokes?
Because they're corny?
Ah!
I got it!
Riley, do you swim at all?
Just for fun, but my sister swims and she competes in meets.
Well, I brought you something. I brought—
Yes!
A swim cap.
My sister will be so jealous.
Well, you can share it with her.
There you go. Thanks big time.
And Steph, I brought one for you.
I was getting kind of jealous. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah.
I appreciate it.
Riley, this is for you.
Thank you. That's a dome cap, yeah, for high speed. You put it on sideways.
Did I? Oh, come on. I thought the name would— Oh, it goes on the—
I got you. There you go.
I'm an amateur.
It looks good on you.
I'm an amateur. Wait, I got to put the ears in. I don't need any type of—
That looks good on you. Yeah. Got to get you in the water. Doing the Michael Phelps arm slap.
It's on.
There you go.
I'm going to the taco truck like this.
Is that cool?
I won't embarrass you?
Alright, bro.
Yes! When I first saw your letter, it hit home because what I wanna inspire kids to do is when they wear my shoes and wear my gear, they feel like they can do anything as well. And so the fact that you wanted to go on the website, look for those shoes, and you couldn't find 'em, and you were disappointed in that experience, you really inspired a lot of people to whatever situation they're in, if they wanna see some change, actually take some action. Sounds pretty cool. So appreciate you on that.
Thank you.
I think I have another one.
Uh-oh.
What do you call an alligator with a vest?
Uh—
I don't know.
An investigator.
She's way better than me. Tacos Sinaloa. Mexican seafood. What's going on?
Hey, how you doing?
I'm going good. How you doing? Pretty good. What do you recommend? What's the go-to? Our steak is really good.
Our chicken's a really top seller. And then we also have shrimp if you like shrimp.
Do you have carne asada?
Carne asada?
OK. I think I'm going to have the same thing. Same thing? How many do you want? Oh, 2. Awesome. 2 asadas. Thanks.
How do you say shrimp in Spanish?
Camaron. Camaron.
Camaron?
Oh. Those look good.
All right. Cheers, guys.
Hey, I don't know if y'all would be cool with it.
I would love to come watch a training session.
Yeah, you're more than welcome.
I would absolutely love it. I've never seen it, been in a pool in that kind of respect, so.
You have a cap now.
I do.
Hop in. I do.
