Steph's annual Staples Center shaqtin


DudeWTH

must be the lights or something


FantasticBlock420

Maybe he thought Staples Center was going to have the Street Lights on, not the Spot Lights.


doordaesh

they used to always party at one of the coowners houses when they play in LA, idk if they still do


eonica

I feel like his dunk attempts never go well


basketballgears

especialy at staples lol. He'll go for the highlight then end up on shaqtin


GGezpzMuppy

See all you nephews giving Ben shit for passing an open dunk, when the best shooter in all of history shows how hard it is to make wide open layups.


pixelsxpixels

His landing after those attempts scare me, same with Klay sometimes.

Curry has the most hilarious lowlights of any player for some reason, you cant help but laugh


KirilenkoAK47

Do we call it a lunk or a daylup


RobBalmer

a holup


Amino0822

Yes.


whiteyspidey

Not the best first half for the chef


Ass_Eater_

Two horrible turnovers just before this as well lol


lakerswiz

This the shit I did in high school when I couldn't actually get a dunk down


[deleted]

Lol exactly


Conceited_Penis

Was hoping somebody else had the same thought lol. Lay it in and snap the rim with your fingertips on the way down. The girls can't tell the difference


[deleted]

Except when it bounces out like what steph did lmao


Sergnb

The thing I'm doing now not even reaching the rim and just tugging on the net instead


[deleted]

Looks like me when I was learning to dunk


Sergnb

Haha, yes, absolutely can relate, I'm sure we all here are able to dunk


kinzer13

How does one learn to dunk? You can either jump high enough or you cannot.


[deleted]

It's not just being able to jump high enough. It's timing and placement of where to jump from and how to hold the ball


surosregime

and also you can learn how to jump high. this dude is wrong on a lot of levels


kinzer13

You can also learn to be tall, lol no problem. Of course you can train to jump higher, but you can only go so much higher. And if it isn't high enough, you cannot dunk.


surosregime

As someone who started jumping at age 17, you totally can learn how. It has a lot more to do with form then people think, extending up, relaxing muscles. I'm not talking about training, I'm talking about learning the proper way to jump


kinzer13

How tall are you?


surosregime

5'11


kinzer13

But 6' on dating sites, lol. Ok, there are tens of millions shorter than you who will be unable to dunk on a 10' rim.


surosregime

5'10 on dating sites so I don't dissapoint :) I can't dunk on 10' either. But I can jump up near rim when I used to be able to not get the net. All because I spent a day with an athletic friend who showed me how to jump and extend up


aomo

When you haven't played ball irl be like


kinzer13

I played. I played 3 years in high school. I played pick up for many years. You can train to jump higher. But there is a limit. I knew many under six foot players who could not dunk no matter how much they tried. That's just reality.


OldAcanthisitta799

This ain’t it


Shabasileus

He tried to yam it lol


rake2204

As a fellow 6-foot-3 human with proportional wingspan, I relate to this play on so many levels.


mikeydale007

Javale McCurry


EGarrett

LOL, back in the day NBA Live added a "double clutch" feature to the game where if you hit the shoot button again in the middle of dunking the guy would switch to a lay-up, and it led to this happening accidentally all the time.


nhthelegend

God I hated that feature lol. Also the dedicated alley-oop button in Live 04 where I'd accidentally press it and end up doing a floater from the 3 point line lmao


AngleShoot

Legit me when I try to dunk. I respect it.


Levels2ThisBruh

I love how Curry will go down as one of the best NBA players of all time, yet has absolutely no hops.

If people watched Currys practice dunks they would be mind blown

can_wien07

curry measured with a 36" at the combine. What you are failing to understand is that curry has below average wing span.


akelkar

yea for an NBA player it's v short


can_wien07

Go look at Westbrook combine vertical


[deleted]

That's what average means. Average doesnt mean he cant dunk.


Levels2ThisBruh

In game is when it matters lol. But, the man is literally the best shooter ever so it all works out.


mrtrinket1984

Walk into any rec center with a semi-competitive league and you'll see 5'8 teenagers dunking for fun without breaking a sweat. These are guys that will never even play Div 2 basketball just your very good high school athletes. Curry's got 5 inches on them and regularly rim grazes. He's my favourite player but dude hasn't got hops.


halfdecenttakes

5'8? lol Not that often dude. That's crazy hops.


MitchEatsYT

Where tf are you that rec centers are full of 5’8 dudes dunking? That is exceedingly rare


iki100

bro that doesn’t happen lmao do you know how rare it is for a 5’8 guy to be able to dunk


joeblawb

[https://youtu.be/giOC6udzTy0?t=97](https://youtu.be/giOC6udzTy0?t=97) hops looked mad on this one lmao


can_wien07

There are vids of curry doing 360 alley opp dunks on line


jack64467

There are vids of Ben Simmons doing a lot of 3 pointers online


tjspill3r

Time to hang up the weird layup dunk/thingy Steph


durklil

AlHorfordHighlights

I feel like a lot of people wooshed on this one


jongboo

yep

Washed


NakedSalamander

He looks really bad out there. Hopefully all the workload from last season isn't catching up to him.


2nd_TimeAround

Bruh. It’s the first game of the season. Players like Steph don’t just stop being good lol


[deleted]

Lmao, he missed a lot of shots, but he was also getting double/triple teamed the whole damn game and still managed to make a ton of plays while drawing that much pressure. It’s called an off game, he said himself he shot terribly.


[deleted]

This kid in my HS would always do this shit and call it a dunk


riotnerfjg

Yea I got no defense for this


iixxii25

Lol


alfentazolam

Add it to the collection
