Dr Disrespect was in attendance for a game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Playoffs with video of him apparently tripping Steph Curry viral
OpTic HECZ, and president of CDL’s OpTic Texas, accompanied him.
When Golden State superstar Stephen Curry fell on the floor right in front of them, the two were sitting courtside. Some fans suspected the streamer of tripping the Warriors point guard because he was sitting where it happened. To remove his name, he sent out a tweet.
Dr Disrespect claims he did not trip Stephen Curry after video goes viral
Last night’s Western Conference Finals showdown between the Golden State Warriors as well as the Dallas Mavericks featured Doc and OpTic HECZ sitting courtside. The game was place in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center.
The Warriors won 109-100 to grab a 3-0 series lead, leaving them one win away from making their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 2019.

Warriors fans were given a scare during the game when franchise cornerstone Stephen Curry slipped while sprinting down the sidelines. He stayed on the court a little longer than Golden State supporters might have preferred, but he wasn’t hurt.
A video of the event went viral on social media, and several followers observed that Dr Disrespect was sitting right in which the incident happened. Some fans joked or accused Doc of tripping the star point guard as a result.
In a tweet, the two-time NBA champion disputed tripping the three-time champion. Kevin Harlan, the Conference Finals play-by-play announcer, believes Curry was tripped by one of the stadium’s vendors.
Dr Disrespect is a San Francisco sports fan and a Bay Area native. He recently made headlines when he announced the San Francisco 49ers’ 2022 NFL Draft selection in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Doc’s desire to hurt the Warriors’ franchise player is exceedingly implausible as a Warriors fan. Some fans even accused OpTic HECZ of tripping Curry, but he disputed the accusations.
HECZ also uploaded a video of the incident, which clearly shows that Curry was tripped by a seller. It also appears that the vendor had no intention of tripping him because he was facing the reverse way at the moment.
