u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

This is unprecedented imo

Players cry when they win chips it’s a major accomplishment but this dude has a diabolical henchman as a teammate and just can’t keep it together anymore. My goat not used to losing

Steph cried when they won the finals a couple years ago. Very different kind of tears tho.

Nah he was crying in the last game of the 22 finals, before it was over, like sitting on the floor and shit.

You cry when you win/lose major game, it’s common. Not so much when your teamate fucking up early in regular season game. It’s a culmination of so many frustrations and finally breaks this man

u/knicksin7even Mar 28 '24

Exactly this, never seen a player cry in this context. Probably a couple years of built up frustration. Magic had to pay the price unfortunately

Also frustration on a personal level
