NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failed 'Steph Curry' Imitation
During the Orlando Magic’s victory over the Washington Wizards, Jalen Suggs drew attention for an awkward play that quickly spread across social media. Despite scoring six points in 19 minutes, his performance was overshadowed by one ill-fated attempt at mimicking a well-known move by Stephen Curry.
The Misstep on the Court
Curry popularized the bold no-look three-pointer, turning around before the ball drops through the net. Many NBA stars, such as LeBron James, have tried replicating the flashy gesture. Suggs, however, failed to connect — his shot bounced off the rim and was quickly grabbed by Goga Bitadze.
Social Media Reactions
The failed stunt immediately became a viral talking point, with fans comparing Suggs’ attempt to a similar mishap by Nick Young years ago.
“Nick Young went on a generational run, but now it’s Jalen Suggs’ turn.”
“It was due… Nick Young GIF, you can rest now.”
“Nick Young has some competition now.”
Summary
Jalen Suggs’ failed try at Stephen Curry’s signature move entertained fans more than it impressed, turning a simple game highlight into a meme-worthy moment of the NBA season.
