Here’s Why Steph Curry Compared Himself to Hayley Williams After Tying a Michael Jordan Record

Stephen Curry tied an elite record while playing against the San Antonio Spurs last week, and the NBA superstar says the achievement has him feeling like a certain rock star.

The Golden State Warriors vet put up 46 points on Wednesday night followed by a 49-point game on Friday. The two games tied Michael Jordan’s record of having 44 40-point games in the NBA after age 30.

After Curry’s second unbelievable showing, a video of the post-game press conference shows that he was channeling his inner-Paramore the entire time. Warriors coach Steve Kerr compared his personal success on the Chicago Bulls to that of a rock band, with every player knowing their role, and a reporter asked Curry: What band member are you?

“It depends on the night,” Curry said at first, before landing on an answer: “I was Hayley Williams in Paramore tonight.”

Curry has been a staunch supporter of Paramore for years. During a tour stop in San Francisco two years ago, Williams brought out Curry to help sing the hook to Paramore’s 2007 hit “Misery Business.”

The Steph Curry co-sign caps an already stellar year for Williams, who’s currently promoting her latest solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party and a few weeks ago nabbed four new Grammy nominations for the album, and her songs “Glum,” “Parachute” and “Mirtazapine.”

Additionally, Williams quietly uploaded her tour dates for 2026 to her official website’s homepage, which kicks off with a concert in Atlanta on March 28 and runs through June 29 in Dublin. Williams will make it to several U.S. markets — plus Toronto, Canada and select cities in Europe.
