MANILA, Philippines – Steph Curry has proven he can break ankles and defenses in an endless number of ways. But he's taken it to another level Sunday, October 18 (Saturday, October 17 in the US).
The NBA MVP made mince meat of sophomore Jordan Clarkson's defense during the first half of the Golden State Warriors versus Los Angeles Lakers preseason game.
Curry slipped and fell to one knee while handling the ball but was quick to recover, dribbling the leather between his legs as he stood up and promptly stepped back for the triple over the outstretched hand of Clarkson.

Clarkson, however, had the last laugh as the Lakers defeated the Warriors, 85-70. Officials stopped the contest with 2:16 left in the third quarter reportedly due to wet stops on the court.
Curry made 5 of his 10 three-pointers for a game-high 19 points while Clarkson connected on 7 of his 9 field goals to lead Los Angeles with 17 points.
