Are you a Steph Curry fan?
Do you have a lot of disposable income?
Do you own a skin suit and/or a refrigerator full of dead babies?
If you answered ‘yes’ to the following three questions, boy do I have a succulent opportunity to present to you.
The time has come when you can own a slobbery piece of history. A California-based auction house is set to auction off the two-time MVP’s GAME WORN mouthguard, complete with the Warriors logo, Curry’s name and number, packaged with a case labeled “CURRY.”
Curry has previously revealed that he changes his mouthguard every three to four games, so this bad boy has at least 200 minutes of accumulated bacteria on it.
I’m getting a little horny just looking at it.
Via ESPN:
SCP Auctions, which is based in California, said it obtained the mouthguard from a fan who picked it up off the floor near the Golden State Warriors bench after a game this season.
“Steph Curry has given more life to mouthguards than any player in history,” said Dan Imler, vice president of the auction house. “The way he flips it in and out of his mouth has become part of watching him during a game.”
Imler expects the mouthguard to sell for at least $5,000.
If you think 5 G’s is a steep price to pay for a piece of plastic, consider this: the same auction house sold Muhammad Ali’s mouthpiece from his final match for $6,700 in 2013 and a piece of gum chewed by Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez sold for $10,000 in an online auction in 2002 (via).
Keep it up, America. You’re doing well.
Who Had The Better 72 Win Season: Michael Jordan or Stephen Curry
