Some fans want a souvenir, others want a selfie, and then there’s this fan who apparently wanted a full-on arm workout with Steph Curry.
Yes, things got weird at TD Garden during a game between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Not “boo-the-ref” weird, not “guy in a lucky jersey hasn’t washed it since 2008” weird. We’re talking “grab-a-superstar-like-you’re-shopping-for-produce” weird.
Here’s how it went down.
Curry was just minding his business, walking through the tunnel to the locker room, probably thinking about his next three-pointer, dinner, or literally anything that doesn’t involve being yanked like a shopping cart. Suddenly, a fan reaches out and grabs his arm. Not a tap, not a “hey bro.” A full-on grab.

Bold strategy. Security didn’t waste time. The fan was immediately escorted out, likely still trying to explain, “I just wanted to say hi!”
In the end, Curry handled it like a pro. No drama, no scene. Just kept it moving, because that’s what stars do. Meanwhile, the fan got the ultimate souvenir: a one-way trip out of the arena.
Moral of the story? Cheer, scream, lose your voice if you want, but keep your hands to yourself, because grabbing an NBA superstar is a quick way to go from “biggest fan” to “guy everyone laughs at online.”
