What the f**k was that - Former Golden State player recalls matching up against Steph Curry in scrimmage shares story of Curry taking an insane shot

Steph Curry and Nico Mannion discuss the game 's greatness as a shooter is not lost on anybody. Former guard Nico Mannion recently shared a ridiculous story about Curry from their time playing together. Since Mannion played the same position as Curry, he was required to defend the Warriors guard in scrimmages at the practice facility. On "", Mannion shared the story of his first match-up with Curry. Mannion recalled one incident where Curry slipped and ended up on the floor. "Like literally five days after being drafted in the Bay, Draymond calls a players only scrimmage. Just a run. So we all show up and I'm matched up with Steph. I thought I was playing pretty well. I was holding my own. I wasn't locking him up. Felt pretty good about it. "And there's one play, he goes left, and I go to cut him off and he goes to the behind the back. He kind of like slips and falls at an angle. So now he's like shoulders to the basket, he's almost at the top of the key." According to Mannion, the guard got back on his feet and launched a heavily contested three that found the bucket. "He's sitting down, dribbling the ball in his right hand. And I don't know what to do. He's slipped, he's on the ground. And as he gets up, he shoots, all in one motion, like a step back. He steps back and shoots a three. I contest it and everything. "It barely touches the net. Like, it's one of those where the net just pulses. And Marquese (Chriss), who's one of my good friends, goes to throw the ball in. I look at him and go, 'What the f**k was that?' and he's like, 'You'll get used to it.'"
