There aren’t a lot of things in the game of basketball more embarrassing than missing a slam dunk, and that ignominy befell Stephen Curry on Friday night.
Curry went up for the slam against the Los Angeles Lakers, appeared to lose control of the basketball slightly, and became the unfortunate victim of a sports blooper reel.
Luckily, Curry had a sense of humor about his moment to forget.

What else can you do but laugh? Well, that and lay it in next time. Perhaps this play was one of the reasons behind Steve Kerr’s scathing assessment of the game.
