Stephen Curry, the star player of the Golden State Warriors, has gained a large fan base throughout his professional career. His exceptional skills, especially his shooting ability on the court, have earned him praise from several athletes, analysts, and fans. However, due to his popularity, he also faces frequent trolling from haters.
One such incident occurred when a parody account, NBA Centel on X (formerly on Twitter), posted fake news about Evan Turner, a former NBA player and current assistant coach of the Boston Celtics.
“Evan Turner: ‘Stephen Curry would have been nothing special had he played in my day.’” NBA Centel wrote in their post.
However, the post caught Turner’s attention, who later clarified that he didn’t say such words about Curry.
“I’m honored that I’m worthy of nbaCENTEL fake news but I’d never say anything like this lol it’s damn near blasphemous.” Turner wrote in his latest post.
NBA fans were surprised by Turner’s response and started praising him in the comment section for clearing things out with his post on X. One fan said, “Somebody’s gonna think it’s real, too, and report on it.”

Meanwhile, another fan mentioned, “especially considering he did play in your day… he was drafted in 2009 and you were drafted in 2010.”
There’s an NBA enthusiast who commented, “bro had to make sure everybody knows he ain’t say this centel on a generational run.”
Another fan reacted, “You two literally played in “your day” lol. But being put in a Centel post is a honor. I’m glad you willing to take it.”
