This is Ayesha Curryâs Twitter avi:
Towards the beginning of Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finalsâwhich the Warriors won easily 110-77âa Cavaliers fan tried to go at Ayesha by making this comment about her avi:
Ayesha didn't respond to @jbalint90 right away. She sent this out instead to support Steph Curry and his Warriors teammates:
But rather than continue to ignore the fan, Ayeshaâwho is no stranger to responding to trolls (or trolling Cavs fans herself!)âeventually responded to @jbalint90 by sending him this:
The Cavs fan was apparently so embarrassed about itâor so taken aback by the attention it receivedâthat he deleted his original tweet shortly after Ayesha responded.
That wasnât the only reason people were talking about Ayesha on Sunday night, either. At one point during the Warriors/Cavaliers game, a woman in the stands at Oracle Arenaâlater identified as Instagram model Roni Roseâwas spotted eyeing Steph Curry down in the crowd. You can see her in this short video:
That video started making the rounds almost immediately, and people reacted to it on Twitter:
Ayeshaâs name started trending on Twitter as a result of it, and shortly after the game ended, Rose addressed the âcontroversyâ she caused on Instagram:
Ayesha hasnât responded to any of that. But she did show more support for the Warriors with a couple of tweets sent out late Sunday night and early Monday morning:
That this is one of the biggest stories to come out of Game 2 of the NBA Finals should tell you just how lopsided and unentertaining the game itself was. Letâs hope Game 3 brings the conversation back to basketball.
