NBA fans mock Jalen Suggs for failed 'Steph Curry' impression
Jalen Suggs drew attention for an awkward moment during the Orlando Magic’s win over the Washington Wizards. Although the Magic managed an important victory after a sluggish season start, Suggs’ attempt to mimic Stephen Curry’s trademark no-look shot didn’t go as planned.
The point guard, who scored only six points in 19 minutes, tried turning away before his shot landed—an imitation of Curry’s confident celebrations. Unfortunately, the ball bounced off the rim and was rebounded by teammate Goga Bitadze, making the failed stunt go viral online.

“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.”
Social media users quickly drew comparisons to Nick Young’s famous missed shot years ago, teasing Suggs for repeating the same mistake that turned Young into a meme legend among NBA fans.
