WATCH: Steph Curry is absolutely awful at GAA free-kicks

Don't quit the day-job

SportsJOE

We really wanted to see the end result.

The Golden State Warriors continued their good form with a comprehensive 127-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

The winning of the game was in the number of three-pointers the Warriors made. The Warriors shot 15 three-pointers to the Pistons’ six.

Kevin Durant scored a game-high 25 points, with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson hot on his heels with a haul of 24 points and 23 points, respectively. It was the latter two who made for some interesting viewing during the Warriors’ warm-up before the game.

In the video below, it looks like Curry is doing his best impersonation of Dublin forward Charlie Redmond’s infamous free-kicks…

Either Curry was re-enacting the free-kick routine of the Dublin legend or that of Irish rugby star Johnny Sexton. Decide for yourself from the clips and footage.

Line up the ball with your target – Check 

 

Take two steps back – Check 

Two steps to the side – Check 

Klay Thompson steals the ball – Erm…Check

Curry hastily takes another kick soon after but unfortunately not with the same level of meticulous preparation.

We think the outcome would have been better.
