NBA fans are losing it after a viral post labeled Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry as the “sexiest man alive”, all because of a photo of him casually smoking a cigar. The image, which shows Curry in full swagger mode after a win, has ignited hilarious debates across social media, where fans have taken turns praising and roasting him in equal measure.
One fan, @SC30Better, proudly declared,
“sexiest man alive and it’s not close.”

But another user, @ARIIELYY, fired back with brutal honesty:
“his own wife wouldn’t even say this about him lol pls.”
That jab opened the floodgates, as NBA fans reminded everyone of Ayesha Curry’s past comments that sometimes made her husband the butt of online jokes. One reply summed it up perfectly:
“See what happens when your girl be clowning you smh, just more ammo,” said @ventz1804.
The online chaos quickly turned into a playful mix of admiration and mockery. Some genuinely praised Curry for aging like fine wine, while others joked that he’s still the “baby-faced assassin,” just with a little more dad energy now.
Whatever the verdict, one thing’s for sure — Steph Curry remains the undisputed king of relatability in the NBA. He might not be everyone’s “sexiest man alive,” but in the eyes of his fans, he’s still the face of excellence both on and off the court.
NBA Fans Crown Steph Curry the Real GOAT After Viral ‘Sexiest Man’ Post
While some argued over Steph Curry’s “sexiest man alive” status, others used the viral moment to remind everyone that the Warriors star is also a basketball legend.
NBA fans flooded social media with praise, turning what started as a lighthearted roast into a full-blown celebration of Curry’s greatness.
“My goat Steph Curry. Year 17,” wrote @chanodesigns,

while @hodl_strong simply added, “GOATED.”
Even when the topic was supposed to be about looks, fans couldn’t help but bring basketball into it.
One user, @Jaden25812, fired a classic shot in the never-ending LeBron debate: “I would rather Curry win another ring than Lebum.”
From MVPs to memes, it’s clear that Curry’s popularity goes beyond the stat sheet. Whether it’s his smooth shot, humble attitude, or that now-iconic cigar photo, fans see him as the complete package — charisma, class, and clutch.
Love him or roast him, Steph Curry’s hold on the internet is as strong as his jumper. And if social media is any indication, the legend of the “baby-faced assassin” is only aging better with time.
