Some NBA Beat Reporters Are Mad That Stephen Curry’s Baby Makes Their Job Hard

Sure, Game 1 of Warriors-Rockets was super entertaining, and there was a lot of drama with the Dwight Howard injury, among other things. But let’s be honest, the real highlight came after the game, when Steph Curry’s kid turned an otherwise boring press conference into must-see TV.

That’s Brian Windhorst, everyone. You might know him as the reporter who followed LeBron James since middle school and parlayed it into a gig on ESPN. Yeah, that guy. He’s on deadline, and he has important questions! He does not have time for these unprofessional shenanigans!

You guys are so brave, protecting the shield. So, so brave.

Naturally, the responses to Windhorst (and his ilk) haven’t been kind.
