Steph Curry just pulled off the ultimate assist.
The NBA great, 36, was selected by 310 Provisions — the group behind the food at the Los Angeles Clippers’ new Intuit Dome — to handpick the popcorn that would be served at the arena when it opens in August 2024. And he was specific about his choice.
“Steph Curry has actually ranked every single facility for their popcorn,“ CEO of Halo Sports and Entertainment Gillian Zucker told the Los Angeles Times, referring to Curry’s 2019 ranking of every NBA arena’s popcorn.
“And we’re like, ‘We want our popcorn to be the best so maybe he’d come and try it.’ We asked him and he said he would,” said Zucker.
While the Clippers’ former home of the Staples Center (now the Crypto.com Arena), sat in last place in Curry’s previous ranking, the point guard threw them an alley-oop this time around so he could enjoy a nice snack on the road whenever his Golden State Warriors touch down in Inglewood.
“So he went through about, I don’t know, 10 different options and I’m thinking, ‘How much does this guy really know about popcorn?’ but he got in and he starts talking about popcorn and explaining. [He said]: ‘It should have a crunch, it has to be a butterfly shape and it should melt in your mouth and that’s what determines good popcorn,” Zucker said in a video for the Times.
