Steph Curry’s mind-blown reaction to crossing up Dillon Brooks became an instant meme

Steph Curry Dillon Brooks NBA Warriors

Steph Curry knows he’s good at basketball. The man has four championship rings and is without a doubt one of the best players of the modern NBA era.

And his reaction to absolutely fooling Dillon Brooks here is an all-timer too.

On Sunday, the Golden State Warriors closed out their third game of the new NBA season with a 106-95 victory over the Houston Rockets. Curry was a major factor in the game, as his 24 points and 6-for-14 line for three-pointers helped elevate the Warriors above .500 for the first time this season.

There was no three-pointer bigger than this one Curry drained late in the fourth quarter. With the Warriors up 97-89, Curry crossed up Brooks not once but twice before sinking the shot with ease. And afterwards? Curry followed it up with an incredible mind-blown reaction to his own greatness.

Sheesh. That’s cold blooded by Curry there.

After the game, Curry said his celebration was inspired by Macaulay Culkin’s iconic reaction from Home Alone!

NBA fans immediately noticed the connection but also turned Curry’s stunned reaction into an instant meme.
