Steph Curry’s lightning-quick reflexes aren’t limited to the basketball court.
The Warriors superstar showed off his incredible reaction speed during a bizarre encounter with a fan at a San Jose supermarket Friday.
A fan threw a golf ball at Curry — presumably hoping the two-time NBA MVP would grace it with an autograph — but the delivery was far from gracious, with the ball being thrown at an unnecessarily high velocity toward the star point guard’s head.

Here’s the same angle, but in slow motion.
WE ALMOST HAD A DISASTER ON OUR HANDS!

Curry was at a Safeway supermarket in San Jose promoting the beverage company, “Plezi,” a nutritional sports beverage that touts its “real ingredients” with no added sugars. Curry’s appearance also allowed fans an opportunity to take a photo with the Golden State legend, hence the large crowd on hand lining up around the block well before his arrival.

Thankfully, Curry’s rapid response to the incoming golf ball helped avoid what could have been a catastrophic incident. Moving forward, hopefully there now is an understanding not to throw objects of any kind near the personal vicinity of the four-time NBA champion.
