With just over seven minutes left in the Golden State Warriors’ clash against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, Steph Curry produced something rarely seen in his long, glittering career as he dunked for the first time in six years and perhaps for the last time too.
With just over seven minutes left in the Golden State Warriors’ clash against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, Steph Curry produced something rarely seen in his long, glittering career as he dunked for the first time in six years and perhaps for the last time too. “That will probably be my last dunk,” Curry told reporters afterward. “I’m calling it right now. That was the last one you’re going to see.” Curry led the way for the Warriors with 29 points and 13 assists but, in the absence of Jimmy Butler, his team fell to a 119-126 defeat against the 76ers on Saturday, snapping their five-game win streak. Though he holds the NBA’s three-point record, Curry’s dunks are a much rarer occurrence – a reel showing all his dunks runs to just six minutes on YouTube – and he still remembers everything about his last one six years ago. “Six years ago. At home. Right wing. The right corner. A little back cut. I think it was a pass from KD (Kevin Durant),” he said. “I was at Oracle. I never dunked at Chase (Center). How about that? “I’ve been feeling pretty good. I’ve been doing some knee stuff all year. And you want to take advantage of a cherry-pick opportunity,” Curry added. “It took everything out of me to get up there.”
