It's fair to assume that some young players experienced their "Welcome to the NBA" moment with Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Even his teammate, Moses Moody, couldn't believe what happened during their practice that affirmed his standing as a player in the league.

In an Instagram post, the Young Man and the Three podcast shared a snippet of their upcoming episode featuring Moody. Co-host Tommy Alter asked the one-time NBA champion to tell a story about Curry, with Moody highlighting one of the first practices with the greatest shooter ever.

"Got to be one of them practices, like he do the thing that he doing in the game when he'd just take over and go crazy," Moody said. "Imagine it like in practice, he just do it all the time. One of my first times, I ripped him. I'm a rookie, I'm just coming in so I'm feeling good about it.

While the Golden State Warriors superstar was busy playing golf this summer, NBA fans didn't forget about his fantastic season. They voted his crazy wrap-around floater buzzer-beater against the Phoenix Suns as the Handle of the Year.

One fan summarized why Curry's ability to handle the ball was voted as the winner.

It's no secret that Curry is one of the greatest dribblers in history, so combined with his popularity and the absurdity of the play, it wasn't a surprising win. You can watch the video of the play here.
