Curry and the Warriors were huddled around their phones, with questions like "Is this fake? No way, is this real?" being heard. Curry immediately yelled out to Kyle Anderson, saying, "Yo, Slo! Slo!" He then called someone and screamed. Curry was simply laughing as he processed the news, saying, "What?"

Fans found this whole situation hilarious. One fan on X wrote, "Everyone's going to remember where they were when that happened. Steph is too funny, man."
