Stephen Curry trolls Sir Charles Barkley for not living up to wish words
The American Century Championship is where celebrities from all fields come together to challenge each other on the golf course. Stephen Curry happens to be one of the many well-known figures who attend the event as well as Charles Barkley. Last year, Chuck finished 76th among all the participants and swore that he would place among the top 70 this year.
The Warriors point guard reacted to this saying, “No, hell no. Clip that, send it to him, let him play it on every tee box. There’s no way he’s doing it. As much faith as Chuck has had in the Warriors and jump-shooting teams winning championships, that’s the least amount of faith I have in him hitting the top 70.”

Chuck definitely upped his performance this year after finishing 74th among the contestants which is stil better than last year. But it was inevitable for the Stephen Curry’s reaction to go unnoticed. The 59-year old replied saying, “That’s pretty harsh criticism coming from the third-best shooter in his own family. First of all, he’s a flash in the pan. I never thought he’s gonna amount to anything and so far I’m correct.”
“But he’s the third-best shooter in his, so he don’t have much room to talk,” said Chuck. Obviously, the legend often gets roasted for his unsuccessful playoff runs during his career, so this may have rubbed him the wrong way as well. However, Steph happened to finish the tournament with better scores than his brother and father.
