Of course, fans flooded Twitter with jokes about the 32-year-old star trying cornrows, while surprised by how good Curry was looking. One user asked Curry to take the cornrows out immediately, while another expressed concern over the Warriors star's hairline, which they claimed is pushed back to the middle of his hair. He surprised fans with the cornrows, who said this was one thing no one expected in 2020.

Along with his hairstyle, Curry was also seen in a Breonna Taylor t-shirt, asking for justice and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman based in Louisville, was killed inside her house on March 13.

As the Timberwolves and Warriors won the first and second pick respectively, the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls got the third and fourth pick. The lottery was conducted virtually this year, with representatives from all 14 teams available on the video conference as the picks for the draft were drawn in Secaucus, New Jersey. The draft is scheduled for October 16.

Curry and Russell, who were teammates till Warriors traded the latter for Andrew Wiggins, were the last two representatives on the screen when the pick was revealed. Curry briefly spoke about the Warriors terrible and strange season, where they finished last after making it to five back-to-back NBA Finals. This will also be the first NBA postseason Curry will miss since the 2011-2012 season.

Adding to the that, the Warriors were without the Splash Brothers – Curry and Klay Thompson – this year. Thompson missed the entire season because of his torn ACL, while Curry played only four games before being sidelined after breaking his hand. 

"It's weird," Curry told Rachel Nichols, who was hosting the lottery. "You showed that clip of the journey we've been on the past five or six years. ... We want every experience in the league, so now we are in the lottery trying to get a high draft pick." He added that they will see what happens, but it also will give them a perspective on what team they will have next season. The NBA playoffs Round 1 is currently going on. The Finals will start in September and will extend till October in case a seventh game is needed.
