The 4x NBA champion Stephen Curry tasted a crushing defeat recently. The Golden State Warriors Splash Brothers went against NFL superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for The Match. Although on paper, Curry was a superior prospect for a win, the game went the other way. After defeating the Splash Brothers, Kelce was recently seen celebrating two new NBA contracts.
The duo of Curry and Klay Thompson lost 3-2 to the Kansas City Chiefs pair. Although there were celebrations after their win, the tight end took it to another level only days after the game. While Kelce celebrated two NBA stars getting new contracts, fans were confused because of the unusual get-together.

The hype around the golf game in Vegas was real. After weeks of promotions from all the participating athletes along with legends like Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, the event took place on June 29th. While Curry was a stronger candidate with golf experience and a better handicap, Thompson was a true amateur.
Their opponents had a similar setup with Mahomes being the experienced one. However, it all came down to the game where the NFL duo proved themselves to be better.
After defeating a superior candidate, the only logical next step was some special celebration. This Kelce and Mahomes did for sure, but the former was not in a mood to let the motion fade away. So, continuing his celebratory mood, he recently joined Tyrese Haliburton and Georges Niang at their new NBA contract party.
Haliburton uploaded the clip of Kelce celebrating with the NBA stars on his Instagram story. Niang signed a three-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Haliburton agreed to a max contract extension with Indiana Pacers.

Fans scratch their head over Travis Kelce partying with NBA stars
Athletes from different sports appreciating one another is not a rare sight. In fact, we often see other athletes pull up to an NBA game, sitting courtside. During the recent NBA finals, we saw soccer superstar Neymar Jr. hyping up Jimmy Butler. However, it is always the same feeling for fans when they spot different acts coming together.
The recent joint celebration of NBA and NFL stars received a similar response. Here are some of the most notable reactions from fans:
