Kyle Kuzma needs to work on his Steph Curry impersonation.

The Washington Wizards small forward attempted a "no-look" turnaround three-pointer Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons. It didn't go according to plan.

Kuzma shot a corner three-pointer and turned around to celebrate before seeing if it went in. To his surprise, the ball bonked off the rim and bounced right back to him.

The Wizards' bench and announcers couldn't help but laugh at the epic fail. The 27-year-old finished with 23 points in the victory, but took a beating online after his blunder went viral.

The Golden State Warriors jabbed with a video of Steph Curry hitting the iconic shot captioned, "This is how you do it, @kylekuzma."

Don't worry though, Kuzma. You're not the first to celebrate a shot too early. NBA stars Nick Young and Kemba Walker have far more embarrassing clips forever cemented online.

Let's leave the no-lookers to the GOAT.
