Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is one of the greatest shooters ever. And his other skills are out of this world as well. But one thing Curry is not known for is his athleticism. However, he does showcase his dunking skills now and then and fans are excited to see that. And that is exactly what he did at a basketball camp, making fans go crazy.

Curry has rarely dunked, while he generally hits some insane layups and floaters. His game is more perimeter-oriented, but he is a crafty finisher at the rim. Curry rarely sticks to one dimension as he keeps mixing it up with three-point shots, mid-range, and finishes at the rim.

In a video he shared on his Instagram, Curry lobs the ball up in the air and lets it take a bounce. He then catches the ball high up the rim and throws down a reverse dunk. The kids who are close to him go crazy, while Curry hangs on the rim. He then drops down and then goes wild with the kids around him.

Stephen Curry does dunk on occasion but maybe not as frequently as fans would want. Still, he does have a few dunks at some iconic places.
