NBA Twitter reacts as Marvel star Simu Liu takes a dig at Stephen Curry with a hilariously captioned Twitter post

The past few weeks have been extremely busy for Stephen Curry. A little over a month ago, he propelled the Golden State Warriors to a championship and won his 4th ring and first finals MVP. Since then, he’s been out and about, golfing or training. In the past 2 weeks, he celebrated each of his three kids’ birthdays.
Apart from doing all that, he became the first NBA athlete since LeBron James in 2007 to host the ESPYs. He did a spectacular job hosting the event, and the Warriors’ superstar added more hardware to his cabinet.
Steph won the best NBA player award, the Warriors won the Best Team award, and for breaking the NBA 3-point record, he also won the Best Record-Breaking Performance award.
To present Steph with the award for the Best Record-Breaking Performance award, the ESPYs had called Simu Liu, the lead from Marvel’s Shang Chi and the legend of the Ten Rings.
Simu Liu has NBA Twitter up in arms about his Stephen Curry tweet
After meeting Stephen Curry, the Shang Chi star expected the best shooter of all time to pass on some of his greatness through conduction. However, nothing of the sort happened, and Liu took it to his Twitter to complain about the same.
Since touching @StephenCurry30 my 3pt shooting percentage has increased by precisely zero percent. pic.twitter.com/P1Yddm4idO

How long did you touch him for? It needs to be at least 5 mins

If only people could touch Steph and get his shooting powers, Draymond would’ve never missed the layup during the Play-In game against Memphis in 2021 xD
