Stephen Curry’s 4X NBA Champion Teammate Embarrasses Himself in Front of More Than 800,000 People

Athletes are often revered as invincible figures. But off the court, they’re just like us, prone to awkward moments and embarrassing blunders. Recently, one of Stephen Curry‘s champion teammates found himself in an awkward situation that left him red-faced.

This embarrassing moment took place on social media, where Iguodala shared a hilarious mispronunciation that still haunts him to this day.

A mispronunciation question that’s viral

The incident unfolded on Instagram, where people were answering an online trend question about words they had once pronounced incorrectly. To which a content creator replied by saying “MANSLAUGHTER”. The video was captioned by him. “As soon as the words left my mouth, the room felt awkwardly silent. I had never wished for time to travel more than at that moment. To this day, seeing the word is painful.”

The video struck a chord with Steph’s teammate Andre Iguodala, who took to the comments section to share his own embarrassing moment. He revealed that as the only black kid in his class, he had once pronounced the word ‘conscience’ as ‘con-science’. He commented on the video and wrote, “Conscience. Con. Science. As the only black kid in Class!!!!”

This candid admission quickly went viral, garnering over 800,000 likes and reminding us all that even NBA champions have had their share of awkward moments.

Curry and Iguodala share much more than just championships

Both of them share much more than just championships. They share a history of camaraderie. They’ve formed a strong bond both on and off the court. Both have won four championships together, and it’s all marked by humorous and sometimes embarrassing moments.

One such moment occurred when Iguodala drained a three-pointer on Curry during a game, leaving Curry in disbelief, as if he was almost embarrassed. Another time, Iguodala jokingly suggested that he should take the last shot in a game over Curry, leading to a spirited debate for a few days.

Off the court too, the duo has frequently engaged in friendly banter. Iguodala once teased Curry about his fashion choices during an interview. They’ve also faced off in a ‘compliment battle’, where they tried to outdo each other with straight-faced sharp and witty responses back and forth.

It’s their human moments that often resonate the most with fans. Whether it’s a childhood mispronunciation or a friendly on-court rivalry, these incidents remind us that our sports heroes are just as human as the rest of us.
