On Sunday night, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors humbled Dillon Brooks of the Houston Rockets.
With the Warriors leading the contest by eight points in the fourth quarter, Brooks pursued Curry from beyond the three-point arc.
But Curry was just too fast, moving with speed and deft handles, and Brooks couldn’t keep up.
Even with an exaggerated, animated leap to get in front of the shot, Curry was still able to put up his three-pointer over Brooks.
After the shot went in, Curry only made matters worse for Brooks by performing a reaction that looked like something we haven’t seen since Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone.”

Others said that this was a reminder of just how bad a man Curry can be.
This isn’t the first time that Curry has done something like this, although it’s the first time he has silenced and embarrassed Brooks.
30 is a bad man

Countless people said that this was karma for Brooks continually trash-talking other people in the league.
“Dillon Brooks gotta stop talking man, karma is real LMAO,” one fan said.

Brooks isn’t afraid of making bold statements about other people and has fully embraced the role of the NBA’s biggest villain.
That means that he needs to get comfortable with being made fun of after moments like this.
As for Curry, this is a great sign that even at 35 years old, no one can slow him down.
