Stephen Curry could not believe his eyes after seeing rookie Jordan Bell grow into a man in front of his eyes, after the Pac-12 product tossed an alley-oop off the board back to himself in the middle of a fast break opportunity against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.
The 38th overall pick of the draft had the audacity to think of the play and finish it despite this being only his fourth regular season game, getting the approval of Curry and the rest of the Golden State Warriors starters for his wit in garbage time.

Bell missed the consequent free throw as he was fouled in the play, and was verbally warned by head coach Steve Kerr, given the game was a rout by that point.
The 6-foot-9 Oregon standout has showed an array of athleticism during his short time in the league, this time rocking the rim in front of the road fans in what turned into a 30-point win for the defending champions.
The Warriors will have a three-game home stretch to follow, hosting the Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, and the Detroit Pistons during the remainder of the week — hoping to break away from the two losses they suffered in opening week.
