Steph Curry's Worst NBA Moments Caught on Camera!

Top Moments Steph Curry Got Humiliated Do you know that even Steph Curry has moments in which he got pretty humiliated? Yeah, it's hard to believe because he hasn't really provided NBA fans with many embarrassing moments over the course of his career, but we've found some shining moments just for you, so let's get started. Number 7. Lauri Markkanen Block Even if you're a two-time NBA MVP, there's not much you can do when there's a basketball heading straight to the dome. All you can do is watch and hope it doesn't hurt as much as you think it will. In 2018, Lauri Markkanen of course didn't mean to aim that blocked shot towards Stephen Curry. It just sort of happened. Laurie turned out to be a monster. He has played out of his mind and showed flashes of dominance. Steph Curry got him on an island and proceeded to dance for a while, but rather than breaking free and getting clean shot off, the former MVP was swatted by Markkanen. But Markkanen didn't just block Steph's shot. No, he blocked it right back into Steph's face and hard. That right there is a career highlight. No matter what happens with Laurie down the road, this block will be one of the first things people think about when they think of him. Not bad for a guy who's played only 42 career games. Number 6. Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving has had his share of battles with the Warriors over his career. Do you remember when a little less than one minute remaining in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, Kyrie Irving drilled a tough three-pointer over Steph Curry to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a 92-89 lead? It proved to be the game-winner and one of the most memorable shots in the NBA history. Actually, the day before his Warriors faced Kyrie and the Brooklyn Nets in the season opener, Steph was asked if he still thinks about the shot when he thinks about Kyrie in a Zoom media session and he said, Why are you bringing up old stuff, man? I had a great attitude coming into this thing, and now you're trying to bring up old stuff. Um, I think about it, but it's not like the first thought that comes to mind when I see that guy. What's done is done, he added. Number 5. LeBron James Back in 2018, LeBron was in no mood to joke around in the waning moments of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Late in the game, Stephen Curry drove the lane for a layup, which James smacked off the glass, an essentially meaningless block as the Warriors had already sealed the win. ESPN's Brian Windhorst said that while Curry tried to joke with James about the play, James had an explicit reply, and Steph turns to him. And I think this is sort of an indication of a mindset of the two teams. Steph turns to him. I think what he said was, boy, you couldn't let me have that one, and LeBron basically told him to get the F out of his face, he said. To Winhorst, the moment perfectly captures the contrast between the happy-go-lucky Warriors and James as he fights uphill against the Golden State juggernaut. Number 4. Slipped on a dunk. Steph Curry never embarrassed himself more than in 2019 when he overshadowed the Golden State Warriors' 131-111 route of Los Angeles Lakers by slipping on a dunk attempt and airballing a three-pointer all on the same possession. In the third quarter, Curry stole the ball from Los Angeles Lakers and found himself with a wide-open, resistance-free path to the basket. Curry gathered himself near the basket to go for what looked like a rare dunk attempt, planted his feet, then slipped and fell on his back. He recovered the ball and retreated to the corner to fire a three, but he ended up airballing it. Fortunately, he didn't get hurt while slipping on the wet spot, but it was definitely one of the funniest moments in NBA history. After the game, Curry admitted the back-to-back plays were hilarious, then said it happens to the best of players. He said he wanted to try a dunk he had never tried in a game before, but Lord wouldn't let me do it. Warriors coach Steve Kerr added, we all have our embarrassing moments in this league if you play long enough. A day later, he faced the music on the Late Late Show with James Corden and had a simple explanation for his blooper. It involved blaming the local hockey team. See, what happened was the LA Kings had a game right before us and they must not have put the floor back on the top of the ice all the way because there was a little wet spot and I slipped. In my head, like I knew I was about to do something crazy. A 360, a dunk I've never done in my life. And, uh, it just didn't happen, he joked. Number 3. 2022 Finals. In games 1 through 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals, Curry had given us perfect performances. But, game 5 was a different story. Curry's teammates carried him, and he had one of the ugliest performances of the year's playoffs. It was just one game, and Steph is still one of greatest players ever. In Game 4, he dropped a whooping 43 points and 10 rebounds on 53.8% shooting, and he helped the Warriors tie things 2-2 with the Celtics. Considering how great he played, there was an expectation that he would continue performing at that level heading into Game 5, but Steph isn't LeBron. Curry scored 16 points on the 7-of-22 shooting. He also missed all nine of his three-point attempts. Luckily for him, Andrew Wiggins went off. The number one pick in the 2022 NBA Finals recorded 26 points and 13 rebounds, and he shot 52.2%. Klay Thompson added 21 on 50% shooting, and Gary Payton II had 15 with 75% field goal percentage. Those performances led to the Warriors winning 104-94, and they took a commanding 3-2 lead in the series. Before Game 5, the question of whether Curry deserved the Finals MVP even in the potential Warriors loss started floating around. While it made for an interesting debate, didn't consider the help Steph has actually had, especially when comparing him to LeBron, who maybe should have won Finals MVP during his 2015 loss. Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson are both averaging at least 18 points this series, and Jordan Poole is recording just under 13 per game. He deserves Finals MVP if the Warriors win, but Game 5 proved it's not just a one-man show. Unlike those Cavs team, Golden State can win with a struggling Curry. Cleveland couldn't do that with a struggling LeBron. Number 2. Worst Shooting Night In 2021, Curry could not heat up in the Warriors' 104-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns and he had the worst shooting night of his career, including playoffs when taking at least 20 shots. The Warriors' guard struggled all night, finishing with 12 points on 4 of 21 shooting from the field and 3 of 14 from 3-point range, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. It was Curry's 329th game attempting at least 20 shots, and his first of those games shooting under 20%. But Golden State has not actually always had to rely on Curry's offensive play to win games because Jordan Poole's explosive start got things rolling on an offensive end for the Dubs. He had 16 points in the first quarter alone and collected 12 more points throughout the rest of the game. Then Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II put on a show. OPJ finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal, while GP2 added eight points, seven rebounds, one assist, and one steal. And even without star guard Devin Booker, who left the game in the second with a hamstring injury, the Suns won their 17th straight and ended the Warriors' seven-game winning streak. Number 1. Can't Make Shots Anymore? The NBA's greatest shooter suddenly can't make a shot. Maybe not literally, but Stephen Curry is going through a shooting slump that has been unheard of for the all-time leader in three-pointers. However, Brandon Pine, Curry's personal trainer who has worked with the two-time MVP since 2011, isn't particularly concerned about his unusual slump. I've always said this. I think Stephen Curry's jump shot is one of the best plays in basketball, and I still believe that, and it takes a lot more than a 10 or 12 game stretch to change my mind about that, Payne said. Curry has had slumps before, but never one so pronounced or prolonged. On January 13, hours before shooting 4 of 11 and 2 of 6 from 3 in a blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Curry told reporters that he was confident he would snap out of this cold streak by sticking to his routine. I'm never results-based. The approach and what you do going into the game remains the same. Eventually, it will turn around. Can't lose confidence in what you do. Big picture. I'm not worried about the shot selection as much as figuring out what needs to change in terms of knocking them down and finding the joy of shooting the ball. That's always a part of my game. I gotta be better at that," Curry said. Which moment do you think was the most humiliating for Steph Curry? Let us know in the comments down below!
