Golden State Warriors absolutely dominated Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night, pulling off a 136-116 W. However, alongside the scoreboard, something funny but annoying at the same time is getting attention because Stephen Curry’s name is involved there.
Collin Sexton became internet fodder after cameras caught him stalking Curry all the way to the tunnel during a second-quarter timeout. The Hornets guard stayed locked in, shadowing Curry even as he walked off the court with zero intention to shoot.
The viral clip led to endless chatter online because this optic is not something that fans often witness.
Fans Troll Collin Sexton Who Can’t Even Let Stephen Curry Walk to the Tunnel in Peace
In broadcast footage, Sexton’s assignment looked crystal clear, like daylight, which was locking down Curry at all costs. Not to mention, Charlotte planned to deploy extreme face-guarding throughout the night so that Sion James and Sexton stayed attached to the two-time MVP like Velcro.
Curry noticed the awkward guarding, and to check them out, he intentionally walked toward the tunnels during a dead ball. Sexton followed him in that path as well, with 100% commitment that looked more like a comedy.
Watching the weird moment, folks weren’t late to share thoughts on the awkward guarding. One fan wrote, “Embarrassing human Shadow.”
Another user referenced popular content creator RDCworld1’s basketball skits, penning, “sexton watching RDC for defensive tips.”
A third fan claimed, “This shit is comedy can’t take a chance on bro.”
Someone remarked, “they know he can score even from locker room.”
Another added, “they swear they locking shit up.”
The most passionate take came from a Curry defender, noting, “No player in the history of this sport has been guarded the way steph curry is guarded , no superstar in The history of this or any other sport been officiated the way curry is officiated .”

Sexton was perfect in his task to guard Curry, holding him to just 14 points. However, the gold and blue still showed their bright side, with De’Anthony Melton scoring 24 points and Draymond Green finally reaching 20 points after a long time.
Other Warriors also scored in double figures. In the end, focusing only on stopping Curry turned into a flop plan.
