Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry knows a thing or two about the shimmy, and so when he saw Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic do the dance celebration in Game 3 of their series, he couldn't help but grade it.
Sure enough, Steph absolutely loved it!
The Warriors sharpshooter initially didn't see the shimmy during the game, and based on the video replays, he was facing backwards when the Mavs superstar busted it out following a buzzer-beating triple in the first quarter:

When he finally got a chance to watch it, though, Stephen Curry was impressed with Luka Doncic. However, he did have one problem with it: the shimmy was too short!
“It’s phenomenal. A+. He could have done it a little longer, that is my only critique,” Curry said.
True enough, Mavs fans surely wish Doncic shimmied longer than a few seconds. It was a clutch play deserving of the shimmy, and there's no better opponent to do it against than Curry.
Hopefully, we'll get to see Curry and Doncic shimmy in the same contest come Game 4. The Warriors will be looking to close the series, while the Mavs will attempt to get to live another day and extend the Western Conference Finals.
Regardless of the result, an intense battle between Steph and Luka is certainly something to watch out for.
