Stephen Curry recently shared a short clip of Newton Rams star Jabez “Bez” Jenkins successfully dunking over the 4x NBA champion. The Golden State Warriors star guard shot the video of himself where fans were able to see Jenkins preparing for the dunk behind Steph. As the Rams star made his way towards Curry for the dunk, the camera tilted for a few seconds before Steph righted it and told Jenkins to go for it again.
