NBA Meme Mania: Even Chuck Norris Wishes He Was Steph Curry

Everybody wants to be Stephen Curry right now.

From those shirtless fans with the No. 30 shaved into their chest hair, to manufacturers of ankle braces, to the Michael Jordan of 25 years ago, everyone wants to be like Steph.

Even Chuck Norris, I think.

Speaking of which, Chuck Norris memes are still a thing. And why wouldn't they be? Chuck Norris is a fully bearded, all-powerful, crime-fighting, time-bending, pose-striking American hero.

He's just not Stephen Curry, who is too unreal to actually be real, though he's somehow actually real. 

Immortals such as him deserve memes of their own—especially with the season he's having. So, naturally, NBA #MemeMania is back for Round 2, this time in the name of Stephen Curry, the superhuman basketball deity Chuck Norris idolizes.*

...And Then Chuck Norris Woke Up

@danfavale.

Stephen Curry miss?

Good one.

To be honest, it does happen. Rarely. When it does, we prefer to call them "offensive-rebounding opportunities," not "misses."

Grizzly Meat

Sure, the Golden State Warriors' nylon-nuker seems like a sweet man-child (it's the eyes), but really, he's a cold-blooded killer, forever stalking his prey.

The Memphis Grizzlies found that out the hard way in their Nov. 2 loss to Golden State. Curry led the charge in a 119-69 onslaught, scoring 30 points on only 16 shots in just over 28 minutes. Unreal.

Best of all, his night included a little bit of everything. There were three-pointers (four of them), assists (three), steals (three) and the usual number of Cirque du Soleil shots:

There was even dancing:

Not to mention a little bit of history-making, per ESPN Stats & Info:

That's a career night for anyone of mortal descent.

For Curry, it's just another Monday.

Seriously, don't try understanding Curry. It's a futile endeavor. He is impossible to figure out.

Aside from breaking the league's player-efficiency-rating scale, there's this, per NBA.com's John Schuhmann:

And this, per Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey:

And this, per Hardwood Paroxysm's David Vertsberger: 

Smell that? It's Curry setting fire to Michael Jordan's greatest-of-all-time resume as LeBron James looks on in awe.

How Good Is Steph? Too Good

Is It the Shoes?

Last season, Kyle Korver posted the best effective field-goal percentage (67.1) in league history for players to average at least one three-point make per game. Curry is on pace to shatter that mark while averaging almost twice as many made treys as Korver.

I know it's still early, but dang.

Dribble Like You Mean It

R.I.P. everything we thought we knew about anything ever.
