While Sixers fans in Philadelphia haven't been able to cheer for much this season, they did get to see something special from the opposing team during Saturday night's win over Golden State.

For the first time since the 2019 season, Warriors All-Star guard Steph Curry threw down a one-handed slam, sending the fans at the Wells Fargo Center into a frenzy. While Sixers fans got to see it in person, NBA fans around the league won't be so lucky. Curry stated after the game that he wouldn't be doing that again.

"That will probably be my last dunk," Curry said after the game. "I'm calling it right now. That was the last one you're going to see."

Curry, 36, is one of the best shooters in NBA history, but the dunk was just the 27th of his storied career, with his last one coming on Feb. 21, 2019.

So why the dunk on this night in Philadelphia?  According to Curry, it came at the request of former Sixer Jerry Stackhouse, who's a Warriors assistant coach.

Sixers fans haven't had much to cheer about this season but got a dunk from Curry, potentially the last one of his career, and a career night from Sixers guard Quentin Grimes, who led the 76ers with 44 points, including six three-pointers in the 126-119 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

I guess it made it worth the money that fans had to pay for Saturday's game to see Curry and the Warriors.  However, if you want to see the Sixers play at home, it will be a much cheaper ticket; as you can see from this post on social media, tickets for upcoming games are going for $5 right now.
