Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Steph Curry, the man knowns for the Shimmy, was asked about Luka Dončić’s shimmy after the Mavericks star hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter of the Warriors’ 109-100 win over Dallas in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals at American Airlines Center.

After the game Curry wasn’t able to critique it, he had not seen it yet.

Curry has since the footage Sunday and ended up giving Luka a great grade, but had one small critique.

“It was phenomenal, A-plus,” Curry told reporters Monday afternoon. “He could have did it a little longer though, that’s my only critique. You gotta hold it.”

Luka is a star, but he needs his own act, doing the shimmy while being down in the series is not a good look.

Curry himself hit a shimmy on Sunday night after a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter, directing his celebration towards TNT broadcaster and NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller.

That’s how you shimmy.
