Stephen Curry's wife Ayesha comes to his defense after viral Twitter video suggests he ignored young fan

Following a viral video of Warriors star Stephen Curry seemingly ignoring a young fan, his wife took to Twitter in his defense.|

Ayesha Curry came to the defense of her Warriors star husband, Stephen, over the weekend after a video went viral on Twitter showing him seemingly ignoring a young fan.

"So tired of seeing this," the chef and cookbook author tweeted. "He was looking for a family member in a crowd of 100 people which you can't see on the other side of the camera…"

The video showed a quick montage of the young basketball fan getting autographs and photos from Warriors players Klay Thompson and Shaun Livingston before what looks like being ignored by Curry as he meandered out of the tunnel at Oracle Arena.

"He does the same thing to me at least once a week. He has tunnel vision. If you placed a bet you would've lost so bad," the mom of two tweeted about her husband. "He would never purposefully ignore a squirrel let alone a precious little boy. Demeaning someone to get your followers up much."

This is not the first time she came to her husband's defense. After Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals she tweeted that the match was rigged for money and ratings before quickly apologizing.
