The three-point king Stephen Curry is not just famous for his shooting ability during games, but also during shoot-around and practice. The veteran guard has always managed to hype the crowd with his pre-game rituals such as tunnel shots, high floaters, and half-court shots. However, the 2x MVP’s latest attempt to get some cheers from the crowd ended with an unfortunate twist. 

The Warriors hosted the Milwaukee Bucks today for their final matchup of the regular season. During the warm-up ahead of the game, fans who were looking forward to Curry’s pre-game ritual ended up disappointed after the four-time NBA champion uncharacteristically missed a full-court shot by some distance.
