After his shoulder injury layoff, Stephen Curry finally returned to the starting lineup during the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite the huge excitement of Curry’s return, the Warriors lost the game 125-113 at home. However, the Dubs bounced back strongly in the next game against the San Antonio Spurs winning comfortably with a score of 144-113. As the Warriors are all set to take on the Chicago Bulls at the United Center next, let us take a look at an interesting exchange between Stephen Curry and a Bulls player from a while back and the bizarre things that transpired following that.

Even though the four-time champion does not usually indulge in physical altercations, he does not shy away from trash-talking. And despite donning a calm and composed persona, Curry can sometimes retaliate too with witty comments when subjected to unwarranted flak.

Stephen Curry defended his actions against a fan

In 2018, during a game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, Stephen Curry lost his cool. With less than five seconds left in the first quarter, superstar Kevin Durant inbounded the ball to Curry. As David Nwaba pressured Curry, he stumbled and almost went out of bounds. As he tried to save the ball, it was intercepted by Nikola Mirotic, who passed it to Nwaba, who subsequently finished it with a dunk. Curry was frustrated that there was no foul call against Nwaba when he lost the ball. With less than a second left on the clock, Curry went to inbound the ball.

However, the two-time MVP threw the ball at the back of Nwaba instead of resuming play, as the quarter came to a close. This received some backlash as the sharp shooter’s sportsmanship was called into question. When one fan questioned Curry’s actions as a role model for children, he defended his actions by replying, “Uhhh. 0.1 seconds on the clock. Pretty smart way to end the Quarter if you ask me. But what do I know? I’d tell the kids to do the same thing.”
