At the end of the third quarter in last night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, something odd happened. Golden State Warriors star and reigning two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry taunted Boston Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown. Why? Well, it is not exactly clear. If you watch the video, it might just be a situation that Brown was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Brown spoke to the media following the Celtics road win over the Warriors, which marks the second season in a row that the C’s beat the Dubs in Oakland. The rookie says he didn’t do anything to provoke the All-Star guard, but he did say that he thought that Curry taking the time to point at him and talk a little trash was ‘cute.’

“I didn’t say a word to him,” Brown said after Boston’s 99-86 win. “I promise I didn’t say a word to him. I was just out there playing D, doing my job. He looked at me and starting doing whatever. But, I mean, they needed that energy to get them going. I’m just glad we got the win tonight.”
“I don’t think he said anything,” said Brown. “I think he was just moving his fingers or pointing. I don’t think he said anything either. Nothing was said.”
“I didn’t say nothing to him,” added Brown. “He hit a good shot. It was cute. And he just made a good shot. I didn’t say a word. I was just playing defense.”
