The Riley Curry Phenomenon began this past NBA season, when the adorable Riley was seen on TV climbing all over her father, Golden State Warrior's star Steph Curry, at a post-game press conference. It's been a hot topic for the media and public ever since!
When you type "riley" into Google, "riley curry" is even the first result that comes up.
Here are just a few of the reasons the awesome Riley Curry should be your new spirit animal.
She's confident.
She grabs the mic at NBA conferences broadcasted on live television like it's nobody's business. She speaks her mind and owns it. She even tells her own father to "be quiet." Not many three-year-olds are brave enough to speak to a room full of reporters. Even most grown adults get apprehensive at that. Riley Curry, however, is anything but shy and has captured the hearts of many this way.
She's carefree.

Letting everyone know how bored you are with press conferences? No problem. Crawling around on the floor like a little monkey on live TV? Sure thing. Riley Curry does her thing when she wants, where she wants. She doesn't let anything hold back her rambunctious and lively personality.
She can dance.
*Awwwwwww* It's a tiny, little girl dancing to a popular hip-hop/rap song. What could possibly be cuter? Even better than that, she goes all in and hits that nae nae like it's nobody's business. She can dance better than some grown adults and she's only three. That gives her a lot of time to work on her whip, which could stand for a little improvement. Either way she's having a great time.
She's knows how blessed she is.
Riley Curry quoted Big Sean when she said "way up I feel blessed" at an NBA post-game conference. She reminds all of us to take a look around and count our blessings. Maybe she was just quoting a song and had no idea what it meant, but it's nicer to think of her as a tiny philosophical kid.
She loves her family.
Riley's not embarrassed to admit that she loves her mom and dad. Don't be ashamed to admit it either. Riley shows us that affection is cool and not to be ashamed of love no matter how "lame" it is to show your mom and dad that in public.
We could all take a leaf out of the Riley Curry book. Recently I heard someone say they would rather meet Riley Curry than Steph Curry, and I would probably have to agree with them. However I would say, why not both? This adorable father-daughter duo has captured the hearts of many Americans, and we can't wait to see what she'll do next. Keep doing your thing Riley.
