On a night already marked by sadness, Stephen Curry added to the gravitas of the night by honoring those who died in a recent fire in Oakland.
If you’re unfamiliar with the story, 36 people died when a fire broke out at the Ghost Ship warehouse, a group house and performance space.
The trajedy has been the subject of national news headlines, and on Thursday night Curry paid homage to the people who lost their lives with two custom pairs of sneakers.
