Stephen Curry’s entertaining discussion with a few high school basketball players resulted in a forgettable moment for the four-time NBA champion. Before the 35-year-old missed it in front of them, the kids trash-talked the 9x All-Star into attempting a windmill slam. As the Golden State Warriors talisman stepped out of his comfort zone to defend his pride, the humorous situation got even more rare.

The event occurred last year during the eighth edition of Curry Camp, which was sponsored by Under Armour. On the court, two campers, AJ Dybantsa and Tahaad Pettiford, began harassing the NBA point guard. “Hey,” Dybantsa responded to the 6ft 2′′ superstar before Pettiford inquired, “You can dunk?” Dybantsa then irritated Curry further by saying, “Yo chill.”

Soon after, the other spectators joined in, collectively asking the Splash Brother to try a windmill dunk. Despite the Warriors’ star’s disbelief, Dybantsa insisted, saying, “Get on that rim.” Let me see if you can get on that rim.” Curry tried to avoid the plea by saying, “Tired legs,” but it backfired on him right away.

The demand from the high school students grew over time, as one of them stated, “Ain’t no excuses. “All-Star, yes.” “Be a dawg, fight through it,” another said, provoking the 2022 Finals MVP even more. Eventually, the Ohio native gave up as he attempted a windmill slam, falling just short and smacking the rim instead.

The teens were amused by the novelty of the occasion, and one of them urged, “Spin again.” “You can’t end on a miss,” Dybantsa said, pushing Curry for one more slam try. That time, the two-time MVP refused to fall for it, scoring with a deep shot. “That’s why I stay out here,” the Warriors guard said to the kids after making his try count.

Despite his obvious attempt to defend his pride in front of aspirants, his efforts may have been motivated by his desire to set an example. Curry, as the organizer, may have sought to set a high standard within the program. As a result, he eventually allowed his emotions to take control while trying for the unexpected.

Surprisingly, this was not his first attempt at such an audacious goal. During his early years in the league, the point guard would occasionally practice this talent during training sessions for fun. Thus, Curry was probably optimistic of making it happen in last year’s camp as well before seeing reality.

Stephen Curry’s camps continue to generate unforgettable moments.

Curry Brand’s annual camps aim to equip young athletes with a comprehensive experience. As a result, the NBA legend remains deeply involved in the project to achieve this outcome. “We’re trying to build true student-athletes, true professionals,” Curry says. It’s not only that we’re looking for five-star candidates. It doesn’t stop there.”

As a result, it has created several noteworthy events over the years. One such instance occurred a few years ago, when current Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren demonstrated his ball-handling abilities in the camp. When he faced Curry, he dribbled the Warriors star with ease into the paint before dunking the ball.

Situations like this assist young players obtain exposure a few years before the NBA draft. At the same time, it assists Curry in understanding the caliber of young basketball players across the country. Overall, the benefits of the camp significantly outweigh the contributions of all those engaged.
