Steph Curry’s stunned face and hilarious reaction stole the spotlight as the Luka-to-Lakers rumor turned into reality.
Luka Doncic’s shocking trade to the Lakers is still causing waves across the NBA as the season winds down. A video of Steph Curry and the Warriors’ live reaction to the trade news has gone viral. This has added further spice to the talks about the shocking trade that took place early this year.
Steph Curry and several Warriors were attending an arena event when Shams Charania suddenly broke the Luka Doncic trade shocker. The ESPN Journalist broke the controversial news and the NBA world couldn’t even believe what was happening, with many rubbing it off as some kind of prank.
Similarly, the Golden State Warriors’ players couldn’t believe what was transpiring. In the viral video, Brandin Podzemski seems to be the first player to notice about the trade. He quickly starts showing his screen to his counterparts. Steph Curry, who heard it for the first time shouted “What.”

Even Draymond Green was equally shocked to hear and said, “What” in response to the trade. Slowly, as the news swept through the arena, other players also had no clue what was going on. Kyle Anderson looked the most shocked and Curry began chuckling, looking at his now former teammates’ reaction.
Steph Curry soon picked up the phone and shouted, “Aaah, Aaah.” This may have been an incoming call from his friends. There are multiple videos of players learning about the shocking news. And Curry’s seems to have gotten the most attention right now.
Curry also has had an equally whirlwind NBA season. From the highs to the lows and again highs to lows, the journey has been worth a rollercoaster ride. The Jimmy Butler trade changed a lot in the Warriors’ locker room that eventually led to their qualification into postseason action.
However, the ending for the Warriors was abrupt, as Steph Curry’s hamstring injury brought a halt to their momentum against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The four time NBA champions were handed a 4-1 defeat in the semi-finals.
Curry in his last press conference of the season suggested that the media “Leave Him Alone This Summer.” The Baby faced Assassin has had a physically tough season and is already looking towards a relaxing summer break. In the process, he has asked reporters to provide him privacy and space with his family in a funny banter.
I cover NBA at the Playoffs. I specialize in covering breaking news, Previews, in in-depth analysis (breaking down numbers, complex stats, nuances of the game, and converting them into reader-friendly content). Furthermore, I got into the sports media while looking for an entry into the media industry. I love International Relations, and since entry without majoring in the subject was difficult, I got into sports. Now, while majoring in International Relations on one side, I also like covering sports as part of the journey as a young Journalist.
