Stephen Curry is not exactly a fan favorite in the city of Cleveland. Even before he stepped foot in Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, a handful of people felt the Warriors guard was already slighted ever so subtly by the NBA All-Star organizers.
During the Clutch Challenge event on Rising Stars Friday, the spots on the court where the youngsters were supposed to shoot were attributed to certain NBA icons. The baby hook was for Magic Johnson, the corner three was for Ray Allen, and much to the chagrin of Warriors fans, the logo three was credited to Damian Lillard.

It's not the biggest of slights and you could clearly make the argument that the logo shot is just as much Damian Lillard's as it is Stephen Curry's.
However, there's no denying the Warriors star isn't the most popular guy in the area. The Golden State Warriors star even had boos rain down on him during a random segment on NBA All-Star Saturday night.

Whether intentional or not, it's definitely just all in good fun. The Cavs-Warriors rivalry was the most fierce of the past decade – one fans from both sides won't forget anytime soon.
