This is Ayesha Curryās Twitter avi:
Towards the beginning of Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finalsāwhich the Warriors won easily 110-77āa Cavaliers fan tried to go at Ayesha by making this comment about herĀ 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, Ayeshaāwho is no stranger to responding to trolls (or trolling Cavs fans herself!)āeventually responded to @jbalint90 by sending him this:
The Cavs fan was apparently so embarrassed about itāor so taken aback by the attention it receivedāthat he deleted his original tweet shortly afterĀ Ayesha responded.
That wasnāt 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 Arenaālater identified as Instagram model Roni Roseāwas spotted eyeingĀ 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:
Ayeshaās name started trending on Twitter as a result of it, and shortly after the game ended, Rose addressed the ācontroversyā she caused on Instagram:
Ayesha hasnāt 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. Letās hope Game 3 brings the conversation back to basketball.
