Steph Curry takes jab at Grant Williams, Celtics during ESPYs open

Golden State Warriors star point guard Steph Curry had the honor of hosting the 2022 ESPY Award show in Los Angeles, the annual event held to raise money for the V Foundation and to recap the year in sports. Fresh off his fourth NBA title, the two-time MVP joined previous hosts such as Drake, Megan Rapinoe, and Samuel L. Jackson.

As part of his emcee duties, Curry opened the event like any other award show. He made a jab at his old foil LeBron James and warmed the Hollywood crowd up with a little banter. He then turned his attention to the 2022 NBA Finals, where Golden State bested the Boston Celtics in six games. As Curry stated, “there’s nothing LA loves more than beating the Celtics.”

With Grant Williams in the audience, Steph continued, teasing Boston’s young power forward. Curry to Williams in the audience: “It’s great to see you again, my man.”

Curry then suggested Williams admired his outfit, suggesting he could borrow it if he liked. Including the ring. Waka! Waka!
