Okay, so, I was watching this game the other day, and this guy, Stephen Curry, he’s a big shot in basketball, you know? And he does this thing, this “night night” thing, and I was like, “What’s that all about?” So, I did what any normal person would do, I started trying it out myself.
First Try
First time, I was just messing around at home. I was playing a video game, and I finally beat this boss I’d been stuck on forever. I was so pumped, I just threw my hands up and did the whole “night night” thing, putting my hands together like I was sleeping. It felt kinda silly, but kinda cool at the same time. My roommate, saw me do it and just laughed. “What are you doing?” he asked. I told him, “It’s the Steph Curry thing, man!”
Trying It Out With Friends
Next, I tried it out with my friends. We were playing cards, and I won a big hand. I slammed my cards down and did the “night night” thing. They all cracked up. “You’re such a dork,” one of them said. But, you know, it was fun. It’s like, it’s this little inside joke now, whenever one of us wins something, we do the “night night”.
Practicing the Form
I started practicing it, too. Like, I’d be walking down the street, and I’d just do it, you know? Just to get the form right. I saw a video where Curry explained how it started. He said he was just talking to himself during a game, telling himself to “put them to sleep.” And then he made a layup and did the gesture. I thought that was pretty cool. I tried to copy his form, the way he brings his hands together and puts them to the side of his head. It’s got to be smooth, you know? You can’t just throw your hands up there, you gotta own it.
Doing It in Public
Then, I did it in public. I was at this bar, and they had this trivia night. My team was killing it, and we won the whole thing. I stood up, did the “night night”, and everyone in the bar cheered. It was awesome! I felt like Curry for a second, you know? Like I was on top of the world. Someone even yelled out, “Nuit Nuit!” I later found out that means “Night Night” in French. I guess Curry said that once in a video.
The Feeling
- It’s empowering, like you’ve just accomplished something big.
- It’s fun, especially when you do it with friends.
- It’s a little bit silly, but that’s part of the charm.
- It makes you feel connected to something bigger, like you’re part of this shared experience with all these other people who know the gesture.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s my story about trying out the Stephen Curry “night night” gesture. It’s just a fun little thing, you know? It’s not going to change the world or anything, but it makes me smile. And sometimes, that’s all you need. Try it out sometime. You might like it.
