Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has developed a reputation for doing the near impossible on any given night. Still, he has his rough moments. During Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, Steph tried to flip his shot over the outstretched arms of rookie Lauri Markkanen, who not only rejected the attempt—he spiked the ball off Curry's face. 

Since the Internet gon' Internet, people were picking apart this moment in history. There were those who focused on Steph's face, during and after the spike.

Some used the incident as a reflection on their own life.

Others were just basking the moment where Steph was the one looking foolish. 

Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that the Bulls had a game to win over Golden State and couldn't rise to the occasion. The Warriors' 119-112 victory is their fourth straight.
