Stephen Curry is criticized by Scott Van Pelt for ending interview with ‘Go Panthers!’

Stephen Curry is criticized by Scott Van Pelt for ending interview with ‘Go Panthers!’

With two Monday Night Football games in Week 7, the ESPN networks had two halftime shows to fill, which is why Stephen Curry joined Scott Van Pelt to discuss the upcoming NBA season as the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers took advantage of the break.

As Curry’s segment came to an end, Van Pelt thanked Curry for coming. Curry responded by saying, “Absolutely. Go, Panthers!” Curry even added a little punch.

Without missing a beat, Van Pelt replied, “Good luck with that.” Curry lost control.

The Panthers are 1-6 and have lost four straight games. On Sunday, the Washington Commanders beat them 40-7. Carolina has given up the most points in the NFL by a good margin and has already benched its starting quarterback, and now people are wondering if the backup will return to the bench soon.

Curry saying “Go Panthers” at this point in the season is incredibly brave. Admitting you’re a Panthers fan is an open invitation to get roasted.
