"Man, it’s crazy. Just to be sitting there, and he’s doing it for your team because I’m on the team now, so when he’s doing it for us, it makes it a lot sweeter than watching it on TV."

Kevon Looney joins Moses Moody in appreciating Stephen Curry's greatness
Kevon Looney has played his entire six-year career with the Golden State Warriors. He was part of the 73-9 squad as a 19-year-old rookie and then went on to win two more titles with the franchise. Over the years he has proven to be an extremely valuable asset, who is trusted by the coach in critical moments.
Looney joined Moses Moody in complimenting Stephen Curry's heroics in the postgame press conference alongside Damion Lee. When asked about Curry's 41-point game, he said,
"It is always fun to watch when Steph is putting on a show like that. We see it a lot. It is getting close to the real games, so you see him turn it up. My team played pretty well, so it is exciting, as you can tell for tonight."
Kevon Looney served as a replacement for James Wiseman last season when the latter got injured. Looney has seen Curry's eruptions plenty of times but no one can ever get tired of watching the baby-faced assassin drop threes left, right and center.
