Steph Curry scored 30 points on 8-of-8 3-point shooting in the Warriors’ 139-105 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday at Chase Center, and not one soul was surprised.
However, something that might raise eyebrows is the 10-time NBA All-Star's supposed new good-luck charm.
Her name is Elizabeth Tate. After Monday’s win, Curry told reporters about his 101-year-old fan who shared the magic touch with him.
“I just appreciate her, her support of our team and the fact that she says she’s over a century old and still Dub Nation through and through,” Curry said. “So, I shook her hand and took a picture -- I haven’t missed since.”
"I shook her hand and took a picture and I haven't missed since..."

Curry needs Tate at every game.
Sister Tate turns 102 on Feb. 2. She is a remarkable, surviving "Rosie the Riveter." Golden State recognized her and others during its win over Philadelphia, according to a relative’s post on Instagram.

There also is no denying that the Warriors are undefeated and Curry is perfect from 3-point land when the two exchange pleasantries.
If Curry doesn’t miss a triple for the rest of the 2024-25 NBA season, at least we know who is partially responsible -- Bay Area legend and Golden State fan Elizabeth Tate.
