The Rockets vs. Warriors game showed Stephen Curry kicking a chair out of frustration. This emotion can be attributed to the fact that the No.2 seed (Warriors) is being given a hard time by the no.15 seed (Rockets). Stephen Curry seemed to be frustrated as their team couldn’t catch a comprehensive lead in the contest. Moreover, since the past few games, Curry seems to have been off his game.

Fan Perspective 

After the video of Curry letting out his frustration went viral, the NBA fans took to Twitter to express their opinions. Some fans believe that it is natural for a player to show emotion in a heated game. On the other hand, other fans believe that this is unprofessional and NBA players should be held to a higher standard.

A fan took to Twitter to say “You can’t use that excuse man because let’s be honest if LeBron or Russ did this or even KD y’all would have a fit. Steph is also a professional athlete too so needs to act professionally in all aspects of the game. Not a good look for him or the Warriors organization.”
