What is synonymous whenever someone hears the name, Stephen Curry? It is shooting. The Golden State Warriors star is an elite attacker who can unlock defenses at will. Moreover, he has the unique distinction of having made the most three-pointers in history.
Although he can also dunk, it is not a regular phenomenon. It is quite rare to see him dunking like his other teammates. Interestingly enough, when the Warriors took on the Lakers in 2019, Curry tried a dunk which did not end well on the 4 time NBA champ’s part.
He slipped just before he took flight. Furthermore, after the hilarious slip, Curry tried to make amends for his mistake by trying a 3-pointer. However, he airballed that.

When this issue was taken up by James Corden, the celebrity talk-show host, Stephen Curry gave his explanations. He blamed a wet spot on the court, which made him slip.
Steph said, “Well, see what happened was, the LA Kings had a game right before us and they must not have put the floor back on top of the ice all the way because there was a little wet spot. I slipped. In my head, I was about to do some kind of crazy 360 dunk I’ve never done in my life. Just didn’t happen.”
Although this might certainly be the case, fans on the internet seem to think otherwise. They have left no stone unturned in roasting Curry and his clip has been memed on multiple occasions.
