The native of Akron (Ohio) became a trend on social media after a video of him transcended in which he gave her a terrible blow to a young man who was more than 30 meters away from him.

In the footage, it was possible to see the moment the basketball player prepared to shoot from the tunnel behind the hoop he was in. The ball traveled all over the pitch but the shot fell short and caught it right in the face of a ball boy who was standing under the ledge in the opposite box.

The official account of Twitter of the Warriors shared the moment in question and netizens were quick to react: “I would have dropped to the ground and refused to get up until Steph transferred 2 million to my bank account”one joked, while others chose to share a few memes.
