When you’ve won three NBA titles and two MVPs, you’re one of the 76 greatest players of all time, and you’ve been the best 3-point shooter in league history for a few weeks, a selection for the All-Star Game, even if it’s the eighth, can quickly go unnoticed.
That’s what happened to Stephen Curry. When we learned the names of the incumbents for the Cleveland All-Star Game, everyone at Golden State focused on Andrew Wiggins, who was celebrating his first star.
The messages, on the players’ discussion group, therefore paraded to congratulate the winger, forgetting that the playmaker was also among the stars of the 2022 edition…
“It was hilarious” tells Curry for NBA website. “Knowing the culture of our team, I did not expect anything other than that: that we would be very happy for Wiggins and that I would be eclipsed. “
“Don’t let motherfuckers act like what you’re doing isn’t a huge thing”
It took 30 minutes for some to point to Curry’s eighth All-Star appearance.
“Hey Steph, congratulations. Don’t let motherfuckers act like what you’re doing isn’t some big deal”wrote Andre Iguodala, before Draymond Green apologized. “Wow, sorry, #30. I’m really sorry, bro. Congratulation. “
The interior then drove home the point by apologizing in person to Curry. Even the Warriors have played with this oversight since before the game that followed the announcement of the holders, the franchise had concocted a montage with images of Wiggins. The video also ended with a small mention for Curry.
“We were all called to order for the way we received the news of Curry’s start in the All-Star Game”confesses Steve Kerr. “Maybe it’s a sign that he’s really achieved success in his career: no one bothers to congratulate him on this stuff anymore. “
