Predicting the Future? Tennis Star Frances Tiafoe Accidentally Calls Stephen Curry an NBA Finals MVP, Nobody Bats an Eyelid

The NBA finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics are heating up to be an exciting affair. This title push is particularly very special for Stephen Curry.

Curry is chasing his 4th NBA title, which equals the number of titles won by legends like LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal. Moreover, he is looking to win the one trophy the fans want him to lift, the NBA finals MVP.

He has 3 NBA titles to his name and surprisingly; he has never won the Finals MVP. Andre Iguodala took the award home in 2015 while Kevin Durant won the award in 2017 and 2018.

Interestingly enough, during an interview, tennis star Frances Tiafoe was asked to name 3 NBA finals MVPs. Tiafoe said, “Steph, Bron, and KD.” While he was right regarding LeBron and KD, Tiafoe wrongly named Curry. Moreover, the interviewer did not correct the tennis star. Did Tiafoe just predict the future? Only time will tell.
