In this story:

Facing the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole attempted to pull off Steph Curry's signature look away three pointer in front of the Grizzlies bench. While Curry is not the only player to have done this successfully, he certainly does it more often than anyone in the league, and for good reason. Missing the shot, Poole will likely end up on some lowlight reels for this one:

It looked like the Grizzlies bench did not give Poole too much heat for this failed attempt, but there were some visible smiles from those he attempted this in front of. Having seen Curry do this countless times while with the Golden State Warriors, Poole tried it himself, but it didn't quite work out.

It takes a lot of confidence to even attempt this, which Poole is never lacking in, but he may not pull this one out again for a while. Curry is undeniably on a different level when it comes to shooting ability, and makes this look away three look much easier than it is. Having done it in All-Star games and even the playoffs, Curry is the greatest shooter of all-time for a reason.

While Poole will get laughed at for this on social media, it's simply just a missed three in the box score, and not a huge deal at the end of the day.
