Animated Stephen Curry Celebration Amid Referee Fiasco Erupts Internet: “Rookie Nobodies Get More Calls”

The Golden State Warriors are on a hot streak. They won their 6th consecutive game tonight after blowing out the Houston Rockets 133-110. It was a crucial game for Stephen Curry and Co., as the Rockets have been threatening to take their play-in spot. Steph made sure to lead the Warriors to victory as he finished with 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Virally, he was thrilled to finally get the support of the officials amid the recent refereeing controversies.

Steph has recently found it hard to get calls from the referees in his favor. So, the Warriors superstar was super-hyped when the officials called a shooting foul on the Rockets during his layup attempt. Steph immediately raised both hands after he heard the whistle and yelled in celebration. Even the announcers were amused and delighted that Steph finally got a chance to shoot some free throws. The veteran ended up draining both resulting free throws and finished the game with a perfect 9 of 9 from the charity stripes.

Free throws are a big part of what makes Stephen Curry so lethal on offense. He has been the most efficient free-throw shooter in the league this season. Steph is shooting a whopping 92.4% from the free throw line, the second-highest shooting percentage of his career. So, it is understandable why he has been so frustrated by the officials not calling fouls in his favor.

A similar incident occurred during Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. The NBA veteran clearly got hit in the chest by the Mavs defenders during a layup attempt, but the officials let the play continue.

The no-call infuriated Steph as he gestured towards the official while running back on defense. He finally let his emotions out tonight with his slightly over-the-top celebration!

NBA World reacts to Stephen Curry’s animated celebration

Stephen Curry’s animated celebration after the foul call even caught the attention of the NBA World. Fans took to X to point out the officials’ bias while refereeing Steph.

This fan said, “Rookie nobodies get more calls than him it’s actually so f**kin annoying.” According to this fan, several players who have not even established themselves in the league get more calls from the officials than Steph, a future Hall of Famer.

One fan sarcastically expressed shock because the officials did not review the call and overturn it to an offensive foul on Curry.

This fan claimed the referee kept ignoring Curry all night and finally made a good call on that play.

This netizen was extremely happy after the person’s GOAT finally got a foul call.

One fan even posted Steph’s iconic celebration meme after the officials called a foul on the Rockets.

All in all, the mood after this game was quite bright and lighthearted in the GSW and Steph Curry fanbase. While the play-in tournament is looming closer, the Warriors are likely to face the Lakers in the first elimination game. So, the NBA veteran and his fans wouldn’t want the officials to continue their controversial refereeing streak during the crucial games as it could end the Warriors’ Championship dreams.
