Steph Curry Popcorn

Steph Curry Ranks the Popcorn at All 29 N.B.A. Arenas

Data: New York Times, 2019

Golden State Warriors superstar guard Steph Curry is a self-professed “popcorn addict.” Asked by The New York Times if he was prepared to officially compile a 1-to-29 ladder for publication, Curry not only agreed but also suggested scoring five factors on a scale of 1 to 5 to support the rankings: freshness, saltiness, crunchiness, butter and presentation.

He proudly shared a story of Miami Heat ball boys, at the morning shootaround on Feb. 27, assuring him that he would be “impressed by their efforts on the popcorn front” — and then being greeted later that evening by a table with popcorn bags lined up on wood planks under heat lamps.

Curry says he never adds anything to the popcorn to change its appearance, taste or temperature.
