Stephen Curry can’t hang with Kenneth Faried’s between-the-legs dunk (Video)
By Sam Richmond
While Friday’s Blue and White Team USA scrimmage will always be remembered for Paul George’s terrible leg injury, the night still featured some pretty cool moments.

Among the fun times: Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and Denver Nuggets power forward Kenneth Faried had a little dunk-off prior to the game.
The best part of the following video comes at the end, when Curry ponders trying to match a sick between-the-legs dunk by Faried before opting to simply put a jumper and concede defeat to Faried.
Funny and the right move by Curry. He’s a great overall player, but is obviously much more of a shooter than a high-flying dunker. Curry finished the game that was called early due to George’s injury with 9 points.
Pray for PG and his family! Pray for the Doctors overseeing his recovery and that he comes back stronger than before. #USA
