BASKETBALL NATION — Postgame press conferences are serious business, unless a 2-year-old takes the stage.

And that’s just what happened during the postgame press conference after Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals when Steph Curry’s daughter, Riley, insisted on being in daddy’s lap.

As soon as Riley is sitting on her papa’s knee, it’s clear that this is her show and she will do all she can to her dad to stop talking.

There are fake yawns, laughs, sneezes and crying as Riley tries to get her dad to stop talking already.

As charming as this may be for some, letting a 2-year-old virtually take over a press conference ruffled a few professional feathers, according to Larry Brown Sports.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst and Star-News Online’s ACC insider Brett Friedlander were none too pleased, and their wish to ban kids from press conferences both ended up on Twitter in some form.

My man @WindhorstESPN taking the most unpopular position ever, saying NBA might need to ban kids from podium so reporters can ask questions — Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) May 20, 2015

From a reporter's point of view, who can blame them? As Friedlander’s [deleted tweet](http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/brian-windhorst-reporters-upset-stephen-curry-daughter/262514) said, he is a professional trying to a job with hard deadlines. But on the other hand, NBA players travel and don’t often get to see their kids during the season, so spending time with them in any way shape or form feels reasonable.

Wherever you land on the issue, it's hard to deny that Riley is adorable in every sense of the word.
