Trinity Rodman takes Steph’s ‘night night’ celebration to next level originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Superstar Warriors guard Steph Curry’s signature “night night” celebration has left its native hardwood and reached the pitch.
American soccer star Trinity Rodman hit Curry’s celebration Saturday after striking a 46th-minute goal from just outside the box to put her NWSL Washington Spirit up 3-0 over the Houston Dash in an eventual win.
However, the 22-year-old phenom took Curry’s celebration to the next level. Rodman quite literally went “night night” on the grass, enjoying her eighth goal of the season in hilarious fashion.
Only the best athletes in the nation are worthy of the celebration.
Rodman, of course, excelled with Team USA during the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and won her first gold medal after contributing three key goals and one assist. She has more than earned the privilege to hit the hay mid-game.
Curry, too, had quite the one-and-done experience at the same Paris Games. After leading his country in points per game, Curry hit the “night night” to celebrate his “golden dagger” 3-pointer in America’s gold medal victory over France.
The iconic move has been in effect by Curry since Golden State’s remarkable 2022 NBA Finals run.
Curry has used it countless times since while stacking up hardware.
Rodman might have brought Curry’s “night night” celebration to the pitch, but it has been all over some of the biggest stages.
Longtime Warriors coach Steve Kerr even used Curry’s signature when speaking at the Democratic National Convention in August.
The phrase also made it onto merchandise such as Curry’s custom hoodie, which reads “nuit, nuit” — the French translation for “night night” across his chest.
Curry might have to send Rodman one for herself after she got some shut-eye following her highlight goal.
