Stephen Curry is a well-known fan of the Carolina Panthers. But he calls the Bay Area home now, and on Sunday he spurred public criticism of the San Francisco 49ers' NFC West rival -- the Seattle Seahawks.
Curry, who was on the field to hig the "Keep Pounding" drum before the Panthers' home opener in Charlotte, took the opportunity on Sunday to celebrate the Panthers' 27-23 win over the Seahawks by calling out former Warriors teammate Nate Robinson on Instagram: "@naterobinson....look!!!! You see what I see????? A Panthers "W" Thanks for the hospitality my man #keeppounding"

Robinson couldn't let it go without a response, passing the note along to the Seahawks and telling them to "be about that action and stop messing around."
Robinson, who enrolled at Washington on a football scholarship and played defensive back for the Huskies before focussing on basketball, then offered to give up basketball in order to help the Seahawks secondary.
"Hey @seahawks we gotta close out in the 4th cause I can't take my NBA buddies talking trash about my home squad come on now ... U see what @stephencurry30 said !!! Let's be about that action and stop messing around ... Do I gotta give up hoop to come play DB like @deionsanders ? Just let me know @petecarroll #holdat."
