SALT LAKE CITY — Ads are coming to NBA jerseys, Atlanta Falcons to offer cheap concession stand food and one teen's attempt to be like Steph Curry comes back to hit him in the face — literally. Three more fun stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field!

1. Teen tries to impersonate Steph Curry, fails miserably

There’s nothing better than watching a sports fail video over and over again.

Here’s another one for you.

Steph Curry is arguably the most popular NBA player right now. With his amazing three-pointers, it’s no surprise kids today want to imitate the back-to-back league MVP’s on-the-court traits.

For one teen, he had to learn the hard way that only Curry can turn his back on a three-pointer and throw up the three sign.

And Curry usually makes his shots.

Sometimes life — and a basketball — comes at you fast.

2. Your ad here: first sponsor on NBA jersey revealed

Coming soon to the NBA: ads on jerseys.

Last month, the NBA Board of Governors approved the selling of advertising space on NBA jerseys. Starting in the 2017-18 season, the three-year pilot program will allow a 2.5-inch patch with a paid sponsor’s logo on the upper left side of NBA jerseys. NBA commissioner Adam Silver previously stated that the ad space could in $100 million in revenue to the league, according to CNN Money.

And the first NBA team to sell an ad on their jersey is the team with the first pick in next month’s NBA Draft: the Philadelphia 76ers.

On Monday, the team announced that StubHub will have its name advertised on Sixers jerseys beginning in 2017-18 as well as the ensuing two season after that. StubHub will reportedly pay $5 million a year for the ad space.

There are rules when it comes to who can buy ad space. Teams are allowed to sell to any company so long as it doesn’t deal in gambling, alcohol or politics, according to ESPN senior writer Darren Rovell. The NBA has also given protected status to some of its national partners so companies’ competitors will not appear on team jerseys. This means you will not see something like the NBC peacock on a jersey ad since the league’s television partners are ABC/ESPN and Turner.

Jerseys sold to fans nationwide will not have the corporate sponsor logo on them, according to ESPN.

We’re still a full season away before ads on jerseys officially arrive. For now, we can only speculate which company will have its name on the Utah Jazz’s new jerseys.

Who knows, the Sinclair dinosaur on the Jazz jersey could be in our future.

3. Atlanta Falcons will offer lower-priced food and beverages

All sports fans know that stadium or arena food is A.) unhealthy and B.) expensive.

While there’s nothing that can be done about the unhealthy part (minus drinking a $5 20 oz. bottle of water), the Atlanta Falcons will do something about the expensive part about stadium food.

When the Mercedes-Benz Stadium opens in 2017, the Falcons will offer a reduced-price menu of food. "Fan First Menu Pricing" will offer $2 soft drinks with unlimited refills, domestic beer at $5, a “Feed 4 for $28” deal with includes four hot dogs, four waffle fries and four refillable drinks, as well as other items for less.

“We felt like we needed to change the game,” said Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay in an interview with FoxBusiness.com. “We don’t want people to feel like they paid for entry and then we marked up all the prices after they entered the building.”

Will this strategy work financially for the Falcons? Only time will tell. One thing that is certain is that this will either be a game changer or just another failed gimmick by a sports team.
