We all know that Stephen Curry is currently the NBA's 3-point god. So it's very rare when we see him doing other shots aside from shooting beyond the arc!
In a rare occurrence, Stephen Curry finally dunked during their game against the Philadelphia 76ers, something that he has not done since 2019, and boy, we were in for a 2-foot hammer time as a treat! (via X/@NBA)
Funny reactions from Stephen Curry's dunk

Sports fans are also shaken about sports news, first, there was the Luka Doncic trade, then the John Cena heel turn in WWE, and now, Stephen Curry dunking? It seems that the fans are having a field day!

Why does Stephen Curry avoids dunking?
If you're a long-time NBA fan and invested in all the players' ways and moves, maybe you know why Stephen Curry avoids dunking and is just doing 3-point shots, midrange shots, and a few layups. But if you're a newbie, allow us to explain why Stephen Curry is not keen on dunking!
During the post-game interview, our 3-point assassin commented that his dunk against the Philadelphia 76ers was the last in his career because his knee is still recovering. The reason he dunked is that he felt that it was the perfect moment to jump, too! Moreover, his dunk against the 76ers was his 30th dunk in his career, so more likely, he'll be ending his dunking shenanigans because he reached the 30th mark in reference to his jersey number!
Trending
After watching the game against the Philadelphia 76ers and seeing a future hall of famer dunking, which is rare for his playing style, it's fun to know that Stephen Curry still makes an effort to do something outside his comfort zone, just to make his fans happy and surprised (in a good way).
