NBA Fans Mock Jalen Suggs for Failed 'Steph Curry' No-Look Shot
Jalen Suggs found himself at the center of online ridicule after a notable mistake during the Orlando Magic’s recent victory over the Washington Wizards. Despite the team's crucial win against one of the NBA's weaker squads, Suggs only scored six points in 19 minutes. The point guard's performance might have been overshadowed by a failed attempt to emulate Stephen Curry’s signature no-look shot.
The No-Look Shot Attempt
Stephen Curry popularized the no-look shot, where he turns away from the basket as the ball leaves his hand. This signature move has been attempted by several NBA stars, including LeBron James. Suggs tried to replicate it during the game, but the shot bounced off the rim and was quickly grabbed by Goga Bitadze, the Wizards' rebounder.
Reaction from Fans and Comparisons
Social media users quickly circulated videos of Suggs' failed no-look attempt, drawing comparisons to a similar blunder by Nick Young years ago. Comments included remarks such as:
“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 Orlando Magic were eager to secure a win after a slow start to the season, making the victory over the struggling Wizards a needed boost.
