Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry headed out to play hoops with some random ballers during a block party in Oakland. While the two-time MVP did some damage, he was also scored on.
One of the players from the opposing team knocked down a 3-point shot right in front of Curry. In the next possession, Curry tried to hit one right back but failed.

The Warriors guard did get one back though, hitting a fadeaway shot from mid-range.

The block party at Linden Park was organized by local hip-hop legend Mistah F.A.B. The free-to-attend pick-up game was part of the hip-hop icon's back-to-school event. Mistah F.A.B. later claimed that the Currys' (Steph's wife Ayesha was also in attendance) presence caught him and everyone by surprise.
A Twitter user also noted that the court where the pick-up game occurred was really in the middle of the hood. So Curry's presence was a grand gesture and shows how much he's one with the city.
Funny thing about this. People really don’t even understand the magnitude of this. This really is in the middle of the hood. You have real hood dudes playing and watching. When we say Steph is OURS that shit is real. Y’all favs ain’t getting the love this #Facts

As seen in the first clip, Curry — despite his stature as one of, if not the greatest shooter in NBA history — is not afraid to get burned. His gesture also shows just how down-to-earth he really is, all amid the success he had.
