KathNiel versus PaulBie in Twitter basketball wars

MANILA, Philippines — At the Star Magic All Star Game presented by Oppo last weekend, Gerald Anderson showcased his basketball brilliance all game long as he scored a game-high 42 points to lead Team Gerald Blue over Team Daniel Red, 93-90.

Team Gerald controlled the first three quarters of the game through the help of supporting cast, Young JV and JC de Vera, until Ronnie Alonte, Axel Torres and Padilla teamed up for the final attack of the Red Team in the final quarter but fell short.

Alonte finished the game with the team with a high 38 points while, team captain Padilla scored 16 points, four of the field goals coming from downtown. De Vera and Padilla had a small hustle in the third quarter after a rebound play but both players shrugged off the unfortunate play later and cooler heads prevailed.

Meanwhile, another celebrity basketball game involving Padilla will eventually push trough, this time, in a more private one as Padilla and another Kapamilya actor, Paul Salas, exchange words in Twitter after the latter had a comment, "hahaha. Curry na Curry ba," pertaining to Padilla. Stephen Curry is the basketball idol of Padilla.

A netizen posted a screen shot of the comment thread of Salas and friends captioning it, "Hi po. I dare Paul Salas and friends to to tell these in Daniel's face. Please RT. Let's help them find their balls."

The Tweet already reached Padilla and friends as well as Salas and friends. Padilla Tweeted, "Seryoso ba tong mga to?," then Tweeted again directly to Salas: "Ano? Sagot."

Some of these Tweets have been deleted.

The rumored girlfriend of Salas, Barbie Imperial, also joined the Twitter war to back Salas. Daniel’s love interest and “La Luna Sangre” co-star, Kathryn Bernardo, also joined the social media war, posting a GIF of the NBA two-time MVP Curry.
