The storylines of Thursday night’s NBA Finals matchup between the Warriors and Cavaliers just keep rolling in.
According to #StephCurry, his Father-In-Law was detained by Quicken Loans Arena security during the Warriors’ 115-101 loss in Cleveland. In a meeting with league officials directly after the game, Curry learned of the incident which reportedly stemmed from his father-in-law being mistaken for a well-known con-man.
“I was just kind of debriefed on what the security thought happened with some guy that poses with fake credentials and gets backstage at a lot of events, the NBA Finals and all that stuff,” Curry told Marc J. Spears. “They kind of profiled my father-in-law and thought he was him. They threatened to arrest him before they checked out his credentials. It’s kind of been an emotional and tough night all the way around.”
The con-artist in reference is #DavidAminzadeh, who has been known to to sneak into major sporting events using fake credentials.
Curry’s wife, Ayesha, took to Twitter Thursday night to give her rendition of the incident. “Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove his credentials and tried to arrest him,” #AyeshaCurry explained.
Curry, who was ejected late in the 4th quarter of the game, later stated that the incident was a bit of a “traumatic situation” for Ayesha.
