NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failed "Steph Curry" Impression
Jalen Suggs found himself at the center of social media jokes after a failed no-look shot attempt during the Orlando Magic’s victory over the Washington Wizards. The Magic secured a much-needed win against one of the NBA’s struggling teams early in the season.
Although Suggs contributed only six points in 19 minutes, the team’s success was a positive takeaway. However, a particular play put Suggs under the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Inspired by Stephen Curry’s popular no-look shot, which has been emulated by several players including LeBron James, Suggs tried to replicate the move.
Unfortunately, his shot bounced off the rim and was grabbed by Goga Bitadze, failing to impress fans. This misfire led to comparisons with Nick Young, who similarly failed in his attempt at the signature shot years ago.
Fan Reactions
- “Nick Young went on a generational run, but now it’s Jalen Suggs’ turn,” referencing Young’s earlier miss.
- “It was due… Nick Young GIF, you can rest now.”
- “Nick Young has some competition now.”
Nick Young’s old blunder has found a competitor in Jalen Suggs after his no-look shot failed to connect during the Magic game.
This viral moment underlines how difficult it is to pull off such flashy plays, even for talented players like Suggs.
