Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Takes Disrespectful Shot at Steph Curry

After the Warriors overtime defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander takes a huge shot at Curry Online.

Ageing Superstars

The faces of the NBA are now beginning to wind down as many of the best players from the last decade are hitting their mid to late 30s and will be looking toward retirement in the coming seasons.

With stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry soon to exit the league, we're witnessing the emergence of a new wave of NBA talents set to become the new faces.


Shai's Emergence

One such star is Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had a breakout season last year and earned an All-NBA 1st team selection. At 25 years old, he's entering his prime and aims to step into the spotlight vacated by the aforementioned superstars, including Curry, whom he recently referenced in a provocative Instagram post.

Disrespectful Post

Following his 40-point performance in his team's victory over Curry's, he posted highlights of himself scoring on Curry throughout the game, accompanied by a quirky caption clearly taking aim at the former MVP.

His confidence must surely be boosted after last season's success, and he's evidently targeting the biggest stars to assert that his time has arrived.

Warriors vs Thunder

The Thunder secured back-to-back wins against the Warriors, with Shai as the driving force behind their victories. Although Curry missed the first meeting, he was active during the second encounter but didn't deliver his usual star performance. He scored 25 points but shot just 38.1% from the field.

Despite this, the Warriors actually had the chance to win the game. They squandered an 18-point lead in the third quarter and still managed to take the game to overtime, even with Curry struggling and Klay Thompson having a incredibly awful game.


Internet Reacts to Shai Dominating Curry

Shai wasn't the only one to mock Curry after this matchup. In fact, thousands of fans took to various social media platforms like X and Twitter to hilariously troll the Splash Brother. Here are some of the funniest and most popular responses.
