Did Paul George Just Challenge Steph Curry To a Shooting Contest?
In an intense game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers,Paul George made a risky move that he'll likely never forget. While on the court, he challenged none other than Steph Curry to a shooting competition from the logo. This is not something anyone would suggest to Curry, who is known for his deadly accuracy and is often referred to as the greatest shooter in the history of basketball.
George's challenge came during the game, and he was mic'd up, so the conversation between the two players was caught on tape. George can be heard saying, "Let's make it interesting. Let me get one. I give you one, you give me one." Curry confidently replied, "I ain't missed one yet," but George was not deterred, saying, "I'm from the logo with it."
The outcome of the game proves that George should have thought twice before issuing the challenge. Despite the Clippers leading 107-105 with only two minutes remaining, Curry caught the ball at the logo with Marcus Morris Sr. guarding him and nailed a long-distance bomb, giving Golden State a one-point lead. Curry then followed that up with another triple a minute later, leading the Warriors to a 115-113 victory, thanks in large part to Curry's 45-point performance.
It's clear that challenging the greatest shooter of all time to a shooting competition was not a wise move. Even on a night where Curry made his first 10 shots and first five 3-pointers, George thought he could take him on.
The lesson here is clear: don't challenge Steph Curry to a shooting competition, especially when he's having an exceptional night. The chances are high that he'll come out on top, leaving you with a valuable lesson learned.
