As Bangla Cricket Live brings a curious off-court twist from the NBA that has caught the attention of basketball fans. Golden State Warriors rookie Patrick McCaw, who recently made waves by sinking back-to-back game-winners in a preseason clash against the Nuggets, is now trending again—but this time for a long-forgotten social media post.
Back in January 2014, when McCaw was just 18 years old and not yet in the NBA, he took to social media while watching a Miami Heat game. He uploaded a short video mocking LeBron James for an alleged traveling violation, counting three steps during a layup attempt and adding a sarcastic comment: “Feeling inspired.” The video quickly resurfaced and went viral after Warriors fans dug it up and shared it across platforms.
Adding fuel to the fire, Stephen Curry—LeBron’s long-time Finals rival—liked the post, and the action was publicly recorded under his latest Twitter activity. While Curry likely meant no harm, the timing and the history between the two stars didn’t go unnoticed. Having faced off in two consecutive NBA Finals, Curry and LeBron are often seen as modern-day archrivals, and even a small online gesture can spark major buzz in the basketball community.
The revived post has sparked debates ahead of the new season, especially with the Warriors and Cavaliers once again seen as top contenders for the championship. Their upcoming regular season matchup just got another layer of drama, as fans now have yet another storyline to follow.
As for McCaw, he finds himself caught in the whirlwind of internet memory. His comments, made when he was still a teenager, were never deleted and now resurface in a very different context. If he ever ends up on a team with LeBron in the future, he might have some explaining to do.
This situation isn’t unprecedented. Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. once had to publicly apologize to Kobe Bryant after past offensive tweets came to light following his draft. Similarly, Bulls rookie Bobby Portis apologized for criticizing Derrick Rose online. In today’s era of digital footprints, Bangla Cricket Live reminds all aspiring athletes that the internet never forgets—think before you tweet.
