No, this postseason belongs to Riley Curry, the 2-year-old daughter of Warriors guard Stephen Curry. Riley stole the spotlight again on Wednesday, celebrating on the court after her father’s team won the Western Conference Finals — then later singing, reaching for the microphone and walking around lackadaisically during the post-game press conference.

Riley opened the press conference with a giant yawn before resting her head on the table.

She also asked her father for help with her bracelet.

“Dada, help me,” she said.

Riley — who also appeared at a press conference last week, following Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals — waved and mumbled into the microphone Wednesday. At times she walked around, owning the moment.

She handed a man her chewing gum before hiding behind a curtain, dragging the sheet halfway through the room.

One of the reporters asked Stephen Curry about his daughter.

“I think she’s taking advantage of the moment, for sure. She’s way too comfortable,” he said.

Curry led the Warriors against the Houston Rockets during Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals Wednesday night, scoring 26 points to help his team beat the Rockets 104-90.

The Warriors will now face off against the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. The championship series will begin June 4 in Oakland, California.
