NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failing Steph Curry Impression
Jalen Suggs faced embarrassment during the Orlando Magic’s victory over the Washington Wizards. Despite the Magic's need for a win against one of the league's weakest teams and Suggs contributing six points in 19 minutes, one moment stood out for all the wrong reasons.
Failed No-Look Shot Attempt
Stephen Curry has popularized the no-look shot, where he turns away immediately after releasing the ball. This trick shot has been attempted by many NBA stars, including LeBron James. Suggs recently tried to replicate this during the game, but the ball bounced off the rim and was recovered by Goga Bitadze.
Social Media Reactions
NBA fans quickly mocked Suggs for the failed attempt, comparing it to a similar miss by Nick Young years ago. Comments included:
“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 were aiming to halt a slow start to their season and needed this win badly. Suggs' overall performance might satisfy fans, but this particular moment quickly drew negative attention.
