Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry had an embarrassing moment in a win Monday night over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Curry attempted to dunk on the fast break, but it didn’t go well. In fact, it couldn’t have gone much worse.
The NBA superstar wiped out before he even got close to the rim. It wasn’t just a little stumble. It was a humiliating fall.
You can watch the hilarious video below.

More than anything, I just feel bad for Curry. There’s no cooler moment in basketball than being unguarded going in for a dunk. I’m assuming this because I never in a million years could ever pull off a dunk on a 10-foot hoop in a game, but I still imagine a fast break opportunity is probably more exciting than sex.

He had visions of ESPN’s top-10 plays in his mind, and it went about as bad as it could for Curry. Luckily, he appeared to be completely fine.
You take a crash that hard, and you might not get up for a bit. Hopefully, he learned his lesson here.
He just needs to stick to jacking up threes and splashing shots on his opponents. Leave the dunking to the real athletes.
