NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failed Steph Curry Impression
Jalen Suggs made a notable mistake during the Orlando Magic's victory over the Washington Wizards that quickly spread on social media. Despite the Magic's slow start to the season, the win was much needed, and Suggs contributed six points in 19 minutes.
However, the point guard's attempt to imitate Stephen Curry's famous no-look shot did not go as planned. Curry has popularized this move by turning around right after releasing the ball, making it a signature trick shot. Other NBA stars, including LeBron James, have tried to replicate it.
During the game, Suggs' no-look shot bounced off the rim and was grabbed by Goga Bitadze, leading to widespread ridicule online.
Fan Reactions
- Many NBA fans compared Suggs' failed attempt to an infamous miss by Nick Young, another player who unsuccessfully tried the same shot.
- Comments included:
“Nick Young went on a generational run, but now it’s Jalen Suggs’ turn.”
- Other remarks were:
“It was due… Nick Young GIF, you can rest now.”
- And:
“Nick Young has some competition now.”
Game Context
The win over the struggling Wizards provided a boost for the Magic early in the season despite Suggs’ modest scoring. The viral moment, however, overshadowed this positive result in the eyes of many fans online.
