True statement that sounds completely false: Steph Curry cannot spin a basketball on his finger (without Globetrotter help).

I was so glad to see that Curry couldn’t do this. I have always thought this should be a simple skill, yet cannot do it either. I’m personally glad to know that a basketball legend and myself share one basketball related thing.
I'm convinced he's doing this for jokes because my brain cant accept that Wardell Stephen Curry II can't spin a basketball on his finger after the amount of time he's spent around a basketball during his lifetime.
This is so endearing and delightful. My kid's rec basketball coach can do this and yet it eludes the man with arguably the best hand-eye coordination on the planet. And not just Steph! Lebron James... Joel Embiid... all of them former MVP's who have spent their professional lives with a basketball in their hands. Also love the inter-team banter. Durant is sickened by the thought. Meanwhile Jrue Holiday's reaction is so kind and non-judgmental.
