And? Who cares if it is to keep them motivated. Not to mention that it shows a complete lack of professionalism to call out a 3 year player because he lost his starting job.
Double standards is double standards. We demand others when they beat us to be quiet like nuns, but when we beat them we can showboat like clowns.

Be happy that your otherwise completely irrelevant team can claim some form of relevancy by being a historical trivia answer as the first team that beat the Warriors this season. Is that not enough for you? Are you not entertained?

The truth hurts, huh?

More context to the shimmy.

The dance wasn't meant for the Hawks' bench. It was intended for Atlanta shooting guard Kent Bazemore. Does Curry despise his former teammate? Not in the slightest, as the two are close friends. This is just part of how Curry competes. In his 53-point game at New Orleans, after draining a 3-pointer, Curry mockingly shouted a defensive coverage back at Darren Erman, the former Warriors' and current Pelicans' assistant coach. Sharing a history with Curry does not spare you his taunts, it only makes you a target. Steph will rip your heart out because he cares.

In the case of Kent Bazemore, that history runs deep. Bazemore was informed he was being traded from the Warriors to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 19, 2014, right before Golden State was set to play the Sacramento Kings. The news came right after pregame chapel, an hour or so before tip off. And it stung. "You get so attached," Bazemore said. "I'm such a loyal person, I thought I was going to be a Warrior forever. I didn't think I would ever leave."

As Bazemore collected himself and his things in the locker room, as Warriors players headed out to the arena floor, Curry hung back. "Everybody was about to run out and go warm up," Bazemore said. "But Steph stayed back a little bit. He gave me a great pep talk."

Bazemore recalled Curry saying, "Man, you've put in the work, done what you needed to do for this moment. You're ready for it. I believe in you." To this day, Bazemore still thinks about that speech, saying, "It means a lot, because even though Steph's a great guy, to say that to a young player, that means a lot. There's not a lot of guys in this league like that. If they say something to you, it means the world. I will never forget that. If he would've ran out, maybe my confidence would've been shot going down here. Things, like that, I will never take for granted."
