‘Warriors Are Our Daddy’ – Badboy Nick Kyrgios Accepts Defeat After Steph Curry Ends Celtics’ Hot Streak

Nick Kyrgios is the name that has been running in the headlines for the past few weeks. Was tennis his true love? Well, the answer is a big No. The Australian had already admitted earlier that he doesn’t really love tennis. Instead, he is an avid follower of basketball- his first love. And now, the 28YO Tennis Bad Boy was recently humbled by NBA Star, Stephen Curry. But why? 

The former Wimbledon finalist is a die-hard fan of the Boston Celtics and he is often seen donning ‘The Green’ colors. He even admitted how his focus in a match got disrupted whenever the Celtics faced a defeat. Now, he comes up yet again after a Celtic loss, but this time with a lesser arrogance. Thanks to Stephen Curry?

Arrogant Nick Kyrgios was humbled by Stephen Curry

Boston Celtics recently ended their 5-match winning streak against the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center, San Franciso on a Tuesday night. Warriors canceled out the 17-point lead of the Celtics to seal the deal in the OT by a 132-126 margin. Stephen Curry rose to the occasion and clinched 33 points with six 3-point shots. After being handed a defeat from the jaws of victory, fans couldn’t hold their temper and expressed their frustration and disappointment after the loss.

But what about the ‘Super Fan’? Here is what Nick Kyrgios tweeted after the loss, “Warriors are our daddy. It’s that simple, game was on our plate.” Kyrgios was 14 when he stopped playing on the wooden courts and switched to its other forms. But his love for the sport remained the same. Basketball > Tennis?

Well, only Nick Kyrgios has this answer. But when it comes to controversies, there are quite a few recently circulating on social media over his recent remarks. Let’s pick one of them.

Kyrgios’ feud with Boris Becker yet again comes in the limelight

Both of them have been stirring the pot for quite some time now. It started in 2020 when Boris Becker had called Kyrgios a ‘rat’ over an incident. The Aussie came at the 56-year-old German legend with a ‘doughnut’ taunt. The former no.1 yet again came back at Kyrgios earlier this year by putting up a question about his knee injury. The former 13 gave it back to the German citing neither Becker nor any other legends of the game during his era could make it in the modern game.

There has been a series of exchanges between the two recently. Commenting on the previous remark, Becker said it’s because of those legends the Aussie can make a living from tennis without playing all year. To this Kyrgios then got a bit personal and dragged Boris Becker’s bankruptcy incident and consequent jail terms to shut his mouth.

Such back and forth have happened in the past, but as we all know these two ‘bad boys’ of the game, the show isn’t stopping any sooner, right? Wonder what’s coming next.
