Steph Curry doesn't have time for anyone who is criticizing his "dunk" in the Warriors' preseason win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
Even if it's a former Warriors teammate who is doing the chirping.
Current Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome took to social media and questioned Curry's "dunk," which looks more like a layup.

Curry wasn't having it.

Curry finished with 16 points on 6-of-18 shooting from the field Tuesday as the Warriors remained undefeated during the 2024 preseason.

Jerome spent the 2022-23 NBA season with the Warriors on a two-way contract. He appeared in 45 games, starting two, and averaged 6.9 points, 3.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.1 minutes.
The Warriors extended a qualifying offer to Jerome last offseason, but the Cavaliers' two-year, $5 million contract offer was too rich for Golden State to match.
So instead of playing with Curry, Jerome playfully is calling out his old teammate's "dunk" attempts.
