Golden State Warriors’ star Stephen Curry may have led all scorers during his team’s win in the opener of the NBA Western Conference finals. But it is his adorable 2-year-old daughter, Riley, that many are talking about this morning.

The toddler stole the spotlight during Curry’s post-game news conference, waving to reporters and interrupting her dad a couple times. At one point, she muttered a few words and the NBA MVP told her to “hold on a second, OK?”

“Be quiet,” Riley replied, drawing laughs from the room.

The Davidson College standout smiled and shook his head, telling reporters his daughter is usually more reserved.

Riley is the first child for Stephen and Ayesha Curry, who met in a church youth group in Charlotte. They are expecting their second child.

The Warriors will face the Houston Rockets for Game 2 of the conference finals on Thursday. The Associated Press contributed.
