He is obsessed with popcorn
In an interview with the New York Times, which has just resurfaced, Curry revealed his love of the delicious snack.
“I really get off popcorn,” he said. “It’s not even a joke.”
He even admitted popcorn is part of his pre-game ritual.
The first thing he does when he’s on the road with the Warriors is: “Get off the bus, walk into the locker room, put my stuff down, go straight to the popcorn table. If it’s really good, I’m eating it before the game, at half-time and after.”
Curry even devised his own stadium popcorn rankings
Curry is such a lover of popcorn, he even made his own ranking of popcorn in NBA stadiums.
He ranks the popcorn based on five categories – freshness, saltiness, crunchiness, butter and presentation – but “never adds anything to the popcorn to change its appearance, taste or temperature”.
