Steph Curry’s stories about Kobe Bryant on Hot Ones were made even better with the video clips

Steph Curry Kobe Bryant Stephen Curry Hot Ones Kevin OConnor Memory

The SAG-AFTRA strike has essentially brought the promotional duties from actors to a complete stop, forcing shows like Hot Ones to look elsewhere for celebrity guests. This week, the show re-visited the sports world with Warriors star Steph Curry taking on the wings a couple weeks after England’s Harry Kane.

Curry’s appearance on the show — where guests answer questions while eating increasingly spicier wings — didn’t disappoint.

During the interview, host Sean Evans asked Curry about what it meant for him that Kobe Bryant was one of the first NBA stars to recognize Curry’s greatness. That led to Curry sharing a couple stories about how he impressed Kobe, and The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor managed to find clips of the moments Curry referred to.

Honestly, that was so cool to watch.

And despite some doubt from his family members, Curry put together an excellent performance on Hot Ones and was basically unaffected by the heat until the notorious Da Bomb Beyond Insanity sauce.

Fans also enjoyed seeing this perspective from Curry with the video clips included. It was like a perfect play-by-play from memory.

This was how Twitter reacted
