Stephen Curry’s Dunk Draws Teasing Remarks from Former Teammate

Renowned NBA star Stephen Curry found himself the subject of playful criticism following his performance during a preseason game on Tuesday night. The incident unfolded when Curry attempted a “dunk,” which some observers noted resembled more of a layup. The moment was highlighted in a social media post by his former Golden State Warriors teammate.

Current Phoenix Suns player Ty Jerome, now separated from the Warriors with whom he once signed a two-way contract, was among those who humorously commented on the event. Jerome took to social media to question the validity of Curry’s dunk, bringing attention to what he perceived as an attempt more reminiscent of a layup.

Despite the light-hearted banter, Curry remained unfazed by the remarks. Warriors on NBCS joined the conversation by posting the clip on Twitter, captioning it, “We’ll call this a dunk for Steph,” accompanied by a laughing emoji, underscoring the humorous tone of the event.

During the game, Curry concluded the night with 16 points, showcasing a shooting performance of 6-of-18 from the field. His efforts contributed to the Warriors maintaining an undefeated streak in the 2024 preseason.

Jerome, whose contract terms with the Warriors could not match other offers he received, averaged 6.9 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 rebounds across 18.1 minutes per game during his tenure with Golden State. His connection to the Warriors and Curry remains jovial despite the competitive nature of their current professional paths.
