Under Armour released Stephen Curry‘s newest signature shoe this week, but the internet didn't take too kindly to the Curry 2 Low “Chef” editions. In fact, the new UA kicks were the butt of many jokes across the internet.

But one NBA player is getting behind the shoes in a big way online, and it isn't Curry. It's Kent Bazemore.

Yes, that's right, the Atlanta Hawks player apparently likes the new Curry shoes so much that he took to Twitter Friday morning to defend them. It probably also has something to do with the fact that Bazemore is a UA guy himself and practically convinced Curry to sign with the company when they were Warriors teammates.
