Steph Curry tried to stay out of the path of the “Greek Freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo, his plan eventually failed. In the third quarter a little after the 10-minute mark, Giannis threw down a monstrous alley-oop and Curry was hit in the back of the head by the ball flying through the net. Curry remained on one side of the court, while everyone continued play; Giannis came up with a steal and was running a fastbreak back towards Curry’s direction. Rather than end up on a vicious poster, Curry laid on the ground and allowed Gianni to go past him and throw down a windmill dunk. Curry thought he was successful in avoiding the poster, but he was wrong.

About four minutes later in the third quarter, Curry went up for a rebound but didn’t know Giannis was behind him. The Greek Freak ended up with a putback down on Curry.
