NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failed Steph Curry Impression
During the Orlando Magic’s victory over the Washington Wizards, Jalen Suggs made a memorable error that quickly went viral. Despite the Magic needing a win after a slow season start and Suggs scoring only six points in 19 minutes, his attempt at a signature Steph Curry no-look shot missed the mark completely.
Steph Curry popularized the no-look shot by turning away while releasing the ball. Other NBA stars like LeBron James have also tried to imitate this move. Suggs’ version, however, bounced off the rim and was recovered by Goga Bitadze, turning a highlight attempt into a visible miss.
Social Media Reaction
NBA fans were quick to mock Suggs, comparing his failed attempt to a similar miss 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.”
Game Context
- The Magic secured a much-needed win against one of the NBA’s weakest teams, the Washington Wizards.
- Suggs contributed six points in 19 minutes during the game.
- The failed no-look shot became a notable moment despite the team’s success.
Summary
Jalen Suggs’ attempt at replicating Steph Curry’s famous no-look shot during a crucial win became widely mocked, highlighting the challenge of pulling off such advanced basketball moves under pressure.
