Watch Steph nearly knock down tunnel shot before Dubs-Pels originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea

Steph Curry filled Chase Center with oohs and aahs before tip-off of the New Orleans Pelicans-Warriors game even began on Tuesday.

During his pregame warmups, the reigning NBA Finals MVP gave his best attempt at his pregame ritual tunnel shot.

Fans had their phones ready to record as Curry launched the ball from full court. The ball hit the left side of the rim and bounced off, just barely off the mark.

Curry's pregame warmups typically draw in an early crowd as he shows off his shooting skills in unique, fun and sometimes dangerous ways. Earlier this month, the Splash Bro attempted the tunnel shot and the ball whacked a ball boy in the face. He made up for it a few days later with a Curry-special bear hug.
