Man Named @RileyCurry Gets Mean Tweets From Haters Tweeting Curry's 3-Year-Old Daughter

OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- No matter how much folks may hate on Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, who would send a mean Tweet to his 3-year-old little girl? A lot of people apparently.

A 29-year-old man whose name is Riley Curry gets tweets from people who think he is the MVP's daughter. No matter that his thumbnail clearly shows its not the fair-haired child who became a media darling during the NBA Championship Finals in 2015, the nasty tweets persist.

When @RileyCurry went public about the case of mistaken identity some folks shamed the haters, while others told him to man up and get a new handle.

You got to admit, trash-talking and insulting a kid is pretty low, though. How low does it get? Here's a sampling...

Haters even want to make her jealous...

... and ruin Father's Day and Christmas

This troll who stole Anthony Bourdain's handle sends his love on regular basis...

A dude from Lufkin, Texas is a little overly concerned about her potty training and ALSSmith88 worries over her DNA...

Maybe Riley will teach Rachel Roberie how to spell...

... and it may be a while before haters stop coming for her and her mom Ayesha...

It gets worse... way worse... but we won't go there.

If the real Riley Curry is ever old enough to read this, we apologize on behalf of all these grownups.

Tell your dad better luck next year.
