No Boston-area athletes came away with an ESPY Award Wednesday night in Los Angeles, but host Stephen Curry didn’t waste an opportunity to take a few shots at the Celtics.
Curry, who lifted the Warriors past the Celtics in the NBA Finals last month, confessed at the start of the ceremony he was worried that the Los Angeles audience might not like him.
But he quickly pivoted.
“There’s nothing that LA loves more than beating the Celtics,” he added with a smile. “So we’re all in this together.”
Curry also noticed Boston forward Grant Williams in the audience.
