In a surprising turn of events during a recent matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors made headlines by executing his first dunk in over six years. Despite the Warriors ultimately falling to the 76ers, who were without star players Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid, Curry’s rare feat captured the attention of fans and analysts alike.

In a postgame interview, Curry reflected on the moment, revealing that his last dunk occurred at home six years ago, off a pass from Kevin Durant. “I remember it well, right wing, right corner,” he noted with a hint of nostalgia. Curry, who has been managing some knee issues throughout the season, admitted that he seized the opportunity to dunk during the game, stating, “You want to take advantage of a cherry pick opportunity.”

When asked if he would continue to dunk in future games, Curry humorously declared, “That was the last one you’ll see.” He went on to emphasize the effort it took to execute the dunk, suggesting that he might opt for layups moving forward. The moment was made even more memorable by a comment from assistant coach Stackhouse earlier that morning, who had expressed a desire to see Curry dunk again—a request that unexpectedly came to fruition.

As the Warriors continue to navigate their season, Curry’s rare display of athleticism serves as a reminder of his enduring talent and ability to surprise fans, even after such a lengthy hiatus from dunking. While it remains to be seen if Curry will indeed retire his dunking shoes, his lighthearted acknowledgment of the event added a touch of humor to an otherwise challenging game for the Warriors.
