You know what I will never understand? People's incredible timing with viral videos. I am assuming this had to be set up considering the person shooting it just so happened to capture the perfect 6 seconds, but if I were in his shoes I would need at least 3-4 takes before I walked away with a Vine that was passable for public consumption. This dude had one shot - as thousands upon thousands of people were rushing to get out of a crowded arena quickly turned funeral home - and he absolutely crushed it. The outreaching hand? The all-too-cavalier (pun intended) dab? The look on Dell Curry's face as he rubbernecked the shit out of the guy that just took advantage of his vulnerability following his son's epic collapse? And all of it taking place on Father's Day?!?! That may be one of the most cold blooded displays I have ever seen encapsulated in a easily digestible clip, but it was so amazingly produced that it's hard to believe that the victim wasn't in on it. This kid (presumably) should get a goddamn Emmy for that flawless piece of short film making, because I don't think I am just speaking for myself when I say I would have fumbled my phone and likely spilled my beer if presented with this golden of an opportunity. Seriously though, say a prayer for the Curry family. I know that they been given the royal treatment since Steph unlikely ascension to super stardom, but the inevitable backlash is coming back to haunt them and it's coming in tsunami sized waves. Steph is getting killed for faltering on the floor when the lights got the brightest. His wife is getting murdered in the media for failing to realize it doesn't require a well concealed conspiracy for her husband to lose a couple basketball games. His 3 year old daughter has merciless amounts of slander being tossed her way on twitter , but luckily they keep missing and hitting some random 29 year old man from Tennessee. And last but certainly not least, his Dad is getting mocked on camera the one day a year we are supposed to leave patriarchs be. He brought the second best basketball player in the world onto this planet, and he's not even safe from being taunted with antiquated fad dance moves on Father's Day. It's just not right. It's absolutely fucking hilarious, but it's just not right.
