Curry wrote in the deleted tweet that she lost all respect for the NBA after the Warriors lost. The game seemed rigged for money or ratings to her.

Mrs. Curry was soon targeted by NBA analyst, Stephen A. Smith. The ESPN Insider claimed that Ayesha had “stepped out of line” and “stepped out of pocket.” While Ayesha apologized for her emotional tweet later, Smith compared her to LeBron James’ wife Savannah. He reckoned that Ayesha’s comments directly reflected on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

Smith said, “If that was Savannah, LeBron’s wife, if that were Gloria, LeBron’s mother, what would we be saying?” The ESPN Insider continued to praise Savannah’s looks by calling her beautiful inside and out. He added that Savannah did not bring any attention to herself by calling out people in her tweets, unlike Ayesha.

Curry wrote,?“Why are you putting two women against each other like that? You’re the one that’s out of pocket.” She gave a strong response to Smith who has come under fire for such comments in the past as well.
