Ahead of the release of the much-awaited films Barbie and Oppenheimer, Stephen Curry has triggered a temperamental teaser online. The Golden State Warriors superstar has had a great time in the last few days showcasing his golfing prowess. The Chef’s fandom glorified his recent glory and were looking forward to his court comeback. But while the things were on track, a recent social media post on Curry triggered a massive fan-riot.

The Baby-faced Assassin went on to win the celebrity American Century Championship golf tournament a few days back. The superstar also became the talk of the town with a hole-in-one. Sports stars across the spectrum went haywire on social media after the magnificent swing. Days after golfing glory, the 4x NBA Champion went viral again but for a different reason.
