"We might be over the hill on that" - Steph Curry gives honest answer on if he can posterize someone
Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors is hands down the greatest shooter of all time. He is also known for his slick handles and acrobatics when attacking the paint. One of the most surprising things about Curry is that he can actually dunk the basketball, despite rarely pulling off the move during NBA games.
In an appearance on the latest episode of "Dubs Talk" podcast with Grant Liffmann of NBC Sports Bay Area, Curry was asked about his vertical and his ability to throw down a couple of dunks here and there. The two-time NBA MVP joked that thinks about putting someone on a poster in some games.
"I usually think about it two possessions after, like 'I could have.' That's the story when the grandparents tell their kids about all the stories from when they were growing up, they embellish a little bit and exaggerate and all that," Curry said.

Steph Curry can really dunk a basketball, as seen in the past few All-Star Games. He threw down a reverse dunk in 2018, while catching an alley-oop pass from Chris Paul last year. It's no secret that Curry does not need to dunk the ball often, but at his age of 33, it might not be a really good idea.
"We might be over the hill on that," Curry said.
The Warriors superstar's answer is brutally honest and funny. He could try to dunk every once in a while as long as it does not end like his failed attempt against the LA Lakers back in 2019.
