Stephen Curry helped a fan win $5,000 during a contest amidst a timeout
During one of the timeouts during the Warriors-Nets encounter, a lucky fan, Carly, participated in a skee-ball-style contest. If tossed the ball right, the fan could’ve won up to a lot of money. However, the fan had some trouble getting the first two balls inside the huge canisters.
As she rolled the third ball, Curry sneakily ditched his timeout huddle, caught the ball as it flew off the ramp, dunked in the $2,500 canister and ran back to his bench as if nothing had happened. Since it was the golden ball, Carly walked home with double winnings.
Here, have a look at how the event occurred.
It surely was a wholesome moment leaving the entire arena in awe of Curry.
