While this information is nothing new in the modern world, it caused quite a stir in the NBA on Monday as it was announced that Seth Curry had been cut by the Dallas Mavericks due to questionable behaviour off the court.
After videos of Curry consuming Lean and using marijuana surfaced on Sunday night, there were rumours that the Dallas Mavericks—the team that presently owns Curry’s registration rights—had cut him from the team.
Tweeted on Twitter was, “Seth Curry reportedly cut by the Dallas Mavericks after a video of him smoking marijuana and drinking ‘Lean’ surfaces via @TMZ_Sports,”
Those who had followed the story from the start, however, were a little uneasy as Monday went on since it turned out that the person on the video wasn’t Seth Curry at all and that the Dallas Mavericks were unaware of the incident.
In this instance, we got to watch the previously stated video of a doppelganger for Seth Curry smoking marijuana and sipping Lean be refuted by a community note sent on Twitter by another user.
This proved that Seth Curry had nothing to do with the incident and demonstrated the value of using the community notes tool in situations like this.
