Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry capped off a hell of a summer by hosting the ESPY awards. And he was not shy in taking digs at a lot of people, including LeBron James and Tom Brady. But a response from a 23-year-old Boston Celtics star to Curry dissing him has left fans in splits as he seemingly trolled himself with his comments.

Grant Williams is a forward for the Boston Celtics, who was in attendance at the awards. Curry trolled him after his team had beaten the Celtics in the NBA Finals. He said that he would let him borrow his suit, and he even joked that he might let him wear his championship ring. And Willams responded to that on Instagram.

Curry averaged 31.2 points,6. rebounds and 5.0 assists in 6 games in the NBA Finals. He carried his team on his back, as his teammates struggled to get anything going. He willed the Warriors to victory on multiple occasions as he won his first Finals MVP. The Celtics were the number one defense in the NBA, but that had little impact on Curry. Even though the Celtics had the Defensive player of the year, they just couldn’t stop Curry.

But perhaps the most impressive thing to see was his defense. Curry has come a long way from being a weak defender and being targeted by the other team. In the Finals, he hustled back on defense and stood strong against bigger players. He also had several deflections and steals as well. The Celtics may have 17 titles to their name, but right now, they are owned by the Baby Face Assassin.
