An iconic photo of Warriors point guard Steph Curry pantomiming a golf shot during a Wednesday night game went viral, at least in part because of a girl with huge knockers standing behind him.
But the NBA, completely ignoring the massive success of Hollywood megastar Sydney Sweeney and her bodacious body, chose not to feature her in their version of the image.

The version of the picture that has gone viral is this flick, taken by San Francisco Chronicle photojournalist Scott Strazzante.

But the NBA chose to highlight a version of the iconic photo were Steph was blocking the woman out entirely.

What are we doing here? Did the NBA learn nothing from Sydney Sweeney’s recent Saturday Night Live appearance? Sweeney appeared as the show’s host on March 2 in an episode so captivating that she single-handedly drove the memory of the self-immolating leftist out of the public consciousness.

DUNE 2 and Sweeney’s cannons completely ejected that immolation dude from the public consciousness in under a week. https://t.co/U9z59jdv6I

Fans took notice, replying to the post to complain about what the NBA is depriving its fans of.
“POST THE REAL PHOTO,” one fan demanded.
“Why did you remove the woman with the great tits?” another asked

“Can I see another angle of this photo? It’s for a homework assignment for my photography class,” another fan joked.

Like it or not, big tits put asses in the seats. And sorry, even if the NBA says it wasn’t intentional, there’s just no way they chose this version of the photo, with Curry so perfectly blocking out the bazingas, unintentionally.

Why does the NBA hate its fans? I have no answer to that question. I just know, if they loved us, they’d show us more boobs, not less.
