NBA star Stephen Curry recently encountered an awkward confrontation with fans in Paris following a celebratory dinner at the exclusive L’Avenue restaurant.
Curry had just led the U.S. men’s basketball team to a 98-87 victory over France, securing the team’s 17th Olympic gold. Curry was looking forward to enjoying the evening with his family and teammates. However, the celebration was quickly overshadowed by a tense moment with overzealous fans.
As the Curry family exited the restaurant, fans swarmed them, invading their personal space. To protect his family, Curry shouted, “Watch out! Get that out of my mom’s face!” as he navigated through the crowd. His wife, Ayesha, followed closely behind, also making her way through the throng of fans.
This incident mirrored a similar situation involving his Team USA teammate, LeBron James, who had an uncomfortable encounter with a French teenager seeking a photo earlier in the celebrations.
Despite these incidents, Curry’s performance in the Olympic final was stellar. He contributed 24 points and five assists and landed eight three-pointers, including a crucial layup in the final seconds that secured the win. While the victory continued Team USA’s dominance in men’s Olympic basketball, the altercations with fans overshadowed what was otherwise a triumphant moment for the NBA stars.
