Stephen Curry wants to ask Cam Newton how that ‘dunk’ touchdown felt Sunday

By Mark Price

There was much to love about the Carolina Panthers’ victory over the Atlanta Falcons, but Twitter couldn’t get enough of Cam Newton’s “touchdown dunk,” which was either hilarious or ridiculous, depending on who was doing the tweeting.

Among those who took note was NBA star and former Charlottean Stephen Curry, who tweeted out: “Cam out there dunking on people now? I’ll have to ask him what that feeling is like later.” National media took that as a sign of Curry “roasting himself” for a failed showboat dunk earlier this season.

The ‘Space Jam’ version of Cam Newton’s touchdown dunk on Instagram got nearly 40,000 views since the game.
