Watch: Stephen Curry bangs Panthers drum before Super Bowl kickoff
Warriors star Stephen Curry pumped up the Panthers before the start of the Super Bowl by banging the team’s “Keep Pounding” drum.
Curry, a Charlotte native, took the field in a custom Panthers jersey to beat the six-foot drum. Keep Pounding has been the team’s motto since its last Super Bow run in 2003, when then-linebackers coach Sam Mills inspired the team with the phrase he used in his own battle against cancer.
Mills, a four-time Pro Bowler, died of intestinal cancer in April 2005. A different honorary drummer strikes the drum before each Panthers’ home game. Curry beat the drum before Carolina’s home opener in September.
