Young Fan Trolls Cleveland Crowd by Lifting Cavaliers Shirt to Reveal Steph Curry Jersey

A kid in a Cavaliers shirt was wearing a Steph Curry jersey underneath, and he used it to successfully troll the Cleveland crowd on Tuesday.

Little kids are notorious for being front-runners. They're susceptible to whatever new trend is running through their elementary school, and they tend to cling to pro athletes who are wildly successful, even if they happen to play for a rival team.

One kid took that to the extreme during Cleveland's Game 4 win against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. With the in-arena crew looking for energetic Cavs fans to show on the Jumbotron, a young Warriors fan in hiding saw his moment to pounce.

I've heard of the idea of having a team in the opposing conference you root for, but come on little dude. Even for a kid, cheering for two teams that are about to face off in the Finals for a third straight time is weak. He can definitely take solace in his troll game, though—look at how mad the mom in the corner is after the Steph Curry jersey is revealed:

Once Twitter became aware of the young troll, they slandered the poor little guy to Oakland and back.

Kid deserves to be executed, straight up. Shouldn't have let him leave the arena alive lol https://t.co/cRjKUqRTiS

As a sports fan, you have only a few defining choices to make in your life. You can be like most of us and stick with your local favorites through thick and thin, which ends in soul-crushing disappointment more often than not. Alternatively, you can be like this kid, who will probably grow up to be the guy who won't stop telling you about how the Yankees have won 27 championships, despite most of those titles being won long before he was born.

The child in question seems like he's having the time of his life, so maybe the front-running fans have this right after all. When one of his teams wins the title in a few weeks, I'm sure he won't care what a bunch of bitter people on Twitter had to say about his life choices.
