“Don’t know why I’m here” - Warriors' $2,394,297 rookie hilariously quips as he interviews over Steph Curry at halftime 

Steph Curry was the undeniable star of the Golden State Warriors’ 134-125 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. He particularly had a great first half, scoring 32 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the 3-point line. Yet, Quinten Post was selected for the interview at halfway mark, resulting in a hilarious reaction from the rookie big man.

“I don't know why I'm here, Steph got 40 points,” Post said at the start of the interview.

The interviewers instantly presented him with a logical explanation for his query:

“Cause you’re a rookie, we don’t make him (Steph) stop.”

“Oh yeah, that’s a good point,” Post replied.

Quinten Post, who is currently on a $2,394,297 contract as per Spotrac, was slightly off when stating that Curry had 40 points at the half. Through the first two periods, the two-time MVP had scored 32 points.

Steph finished the night with 52 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, five steals and 12 made 3-pointers.

As for Post, in just 13 first-half minutes, the 25-year-old rookie totaled nine points, hitting 3 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Steve Kerr seemed to be in disbelief, lauding his star player for putting up a one-of-a-kind performance at age 37:

It's just incredible to watch Steph at work. I mean, I can't believe he's still doing this at this age, but he's put the work in and he's still got it."
