Steph Curry Tweeted At A Porn Account And People Lost Their Minds

Golden State superstar Steph Curry probably has a little extra time on his hands as a result of the knee injury he suffered in the Warriors' opening-round playoff series against the Grizzlies.

And you know what happens when athletes have too much free time? They hop on their social media accounts and say some sh*t they shouldn't.

In the case of Steph Curry, the reigning NBA MVP got on Twitter to congratulate his teammates after a hard-fought win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday night and accidentally -- we think -- tweeted at a porn account.

The infamous tweet in question reportedly was sent after the above tweet, but it was quickly deleted from Curry's Twitter timeline apparently before anyone could get a screenshot. Curse the Internet gods, right?

The incident reportedly occurred when Curry appeared to tweet at teammate Brandon Rush, @BRush_25 on Twitter, but instead mentioned @brush_4, which is the handle of Rush's Instagram account, as well as a Twitter porn account (which now appears to be suspended).

Regardless of how quick Curry deleted his mistake, it didn't take long for the Internet to catch wind of what happened.

@StephenCurry30 SC, this is NOT Brandon's account: ( @brush_4 ) is spam porn - Correct is @BRush_25! Delete! Cc @ayeshacurry @BabersGreen — Lauri T. (@laurirose) May 4, 2016

Welp, at least it looks like it was an honest mistake.

@BRush_4 you coming to the game tonight bro? — Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30) February 27, 2013

Let this be a lesson, though, kids. Always proofread what you write before hitting "Tweet."
