The Golden State Warriors took the NBA world by storm with a major trade right before the 2023 NBA Draft. After Stephen Curry and Co. were eliminated in the Conference Semifinals, they acquired 12x All-Star Chris Paul for 24-year-old Jordan Poole. While the Dubs have been looking to improve the roster ahead of the next season, the veteran baller’s inclusion came in as a pleasant surprise. However, amid this intense drama, Steph drew flak from fans for an untimely update from a leading streaming site.
Since the postseason exit, the Baby-faced assassin has spent most of his time with his wife Ayesha, and family. Despite Curry’s low-key public life in the last few weeks, he faced a lot of heat from fans for his recent tweet.

While the Dubnation considered Jordan Poole a dynasty player, the hopes came crashing down last night. The Dubs traded the 24-year-old star to the Washington Wizards for the 38-year-old Chris Paul. Amid the rising debates among fans, Stephen Curry’s tweet drew a lot of adverse reactions from the fans.
Curry took to his Twitter to share a video clip from his recent documentary Underrated, which starts streaming on July 21 on Apple TV. He wrote, “Don’t just prove them wrong. Prove yourself right.”

Even though Steph only tried to promote his documentary on the $3 trillion worth company’s streaming platform, it didn’t sit well with the fans.
Furthermore, some sections of the fans warned the 4x NBA Champion of the uncertain future of the Warriors in the upcoming season. One user said, “You gotta carry 2 salesmen and an elderly now. Hope you mentally preparing.” And that was not all.
