During Steph Curry's postgame presser, his daughter Riley (who is a spitting image of her father) became the star of the show. Her playful responses to her dad stole the hearts of all Americans, unless you are a journalist. Here are a few tweets from those upset with "Curry's defense mechanism so that he doesn't have to answer questions" from a game 1 win...
My man @WindhorstESPN taking the most unpopular position ever, saying NBA might need to ban kids from podium so reporters can ask questions

@joybenedict @WindhorstESPN Brian is right. It's unprofessional ... But they are soooo damn cute no one has the guts to say anything

Here's a passive aggressive response that had nothing to do with the Warriors game.
You know what's fun? Asking Trevor Bauer about pitching. Know what's even better? Hearing the answers http://t.co/NtoSF7elMk #Indians

Do journalists have a legitimate gripe? From a pragmatic standpoint, they should be allowed to ask their questions, have them answered, and reach their deadline. I find it hard to side with them, however, because it seems as if there is a journalist complaining every time they are hit with any bit of adversity. The NBA isn't a common workplace, and Steph seems like a good family man. I have no problem with him wanting to be with his daughter after a win.
