Stephen Curry might be the most popular athlete in Oakland, but that doesn’t mean he roots for the local NFL team.
The Golden State Warriors point guard grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and has been a vocal supporter of the Panthers. He even took part in the Super Bowl 50 pregame festivities on the Carolina sideline.
But that support ended up costing him Sunday, as he apparently lost a bet with the Raiders’ 35-32 win over the Panthers. As a result, he had to wear the Silver and Black at Oakland Coliseum.
