The day Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry was so good his dad couldn’t bare to watch.

NBA MVP Stephen Curry’s insane talent wasn’t always a positive thing, even for his own father.

WATCHING Stephen Curry in full flight would be any basketball lover’s dream, but that hasn’t always been the case.

The Golden State Warriors’ point guard was once so dominant in a match as an 8th grader that even his own father Dell Curry couldn’t bare to watch.

“All these people were coming in to see what was going on, and there was so much commotion, it seemed like he was never going to stop,” former NBA marksman Dell Curry recalled in an interview withSports Illustrated.

“I had to get out of there. I felt bad for the other team. I couldn’t watch what he was doing to those kids.”

Curry, the current NBA MVP, scored 63 points during that game, but his dad missed the last 20 of those, unable to stand the torture he was inflicting on his opposition.

That performance was a sign of things to come for the talented Warrior, who is enjoying a stellar season with the California-based side.

A team-high 33 points and six assists from Curry propelled the Warriors to a thrilling 99-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday, giving them a 2-0 advantage in the Western Conference playoffs.

With this performance, the mercurial sharp-shooter became the first Warrior with three consecutive 30-point games in playoffs since Jeff Mullins achieved the feat in 1968.

He also became the first player ever to sink five or more three-pointers in four consecutive playoff games.

Curry’s teammate, Australian centre Andrew Bogut, was sensational for the Warriors against the Rockets — just two days after a self-confessed horrible game.

Two more wins will book the Warriors a berth in the NBA Championship series.

After two home games in Oakland, the Warriors will play the next two in Houston.

“We need to keep our momentum going,” Bogut, who had 14 points, eight rebounds, five blocked shots and four assists in 30 minutes on the court, said.

“They battled hard these two games and it’s not going to be easy in Houston.

“Their home crowd is loud as it is here and obviously they won’t want to go down 3-0.”
