After a mighty run to become the NBA champions last season, the Golden State Warriors have similarly started this season. Likewise, it is the reigning finals MVP leading the troops yet again. Stephen Curry has been on a hot streak in his first three games. Ranking as one of the leading scorers so far, the three-point assassin has poured in at least 30 points in each of his three outings. Moreover, he had a perfect record from the free-throw line. Well, at least until today, as the four-time champion missed his first shot from the spot this season.

Steph Curry is showing off all facets of his game playing at an MVP level early in the season. He is currently averaging 30.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in just three games. As the three-point king, he has honored the title so far. Converting over 44% from beyond the arc, he is possibly having one of his best seasons. However, his most impressive feat of the season might just be going 22 for 22 from the free throw line.

Unfortunately, while playing against the Phoenix Suns, renowned NBA commentator Kevin Harlan seemingly jinxed him right before the shot to break his streak. And Curry instantly called him out.

Stephen Curry knew right away

Curry was in midst of finishing off a close half knocking down some free throws. Before this, nobody was able to stop the Baby Face Assassin from swishing them. However, the commentator’s curse can get even the best of the best sometimes. And Curry became a victim. Right before he launched his 23rd free throw of the season, Harlan set him up. Basketball legends Caandace Parke and Reggie Miller knew it right away as they saw Curry’s shot pour out.

However, the eight-time All-Star got a hunch himself. Watching the irregular miss off his hands, he pointed right at the veteran commentator for causing the miss. When it comes to the game though, Steph might have set himself up to have a big night against the former number-one-seeded Phoenix Suns.

The Golden State Warriors have found themselves trailing by six points. Their main weapon Stephen Curry has added 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists missing just one of his threes so far. In addition, Andrew Wiggins seems to have the determination to continue his All-Star berth from last season. He has contributed with 12 points and 4 rebounds so far. Their bench has come up huge so far scoring 30 critical points.
