Stephen Curry taunts Serge Ibaka with shot still in air, drills it (Video)

Stephen Curry went full supernova in the third quarter of Game 2 and stopped to tell Serge Ibaka about it right after a shot left his hand

In the modern NBA, there are two different kinds of getting hot. There’s the normal player catching fire and knocking down several shots in a row. Then there’s the kind of hot that Golden State Warriors opponents are all to familiar with—when Stephen Curry gets rolling and might as well be playing a video game with a cheat code. That’s what the Oklahoma City Thunder experienced on Wednesday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

After a relatively mundane first half, Stephen Curry came out white hot in the third quarter. However, it wasn’t abundantly clear until he had knocked down a couple of threes in a row just how hot he was. After he pump-faked Serge Ibaka into oblivion, put up a three, and then took the time to taunt Ibaka while the shot was still in the air, then it was 100 percent clear what level he was at:

Just in case you want the zoomed in version, we’ve got you covered still:

Obviously we’re talking about the league MVP here, but that doesn’t make it any less incredible when he does things like this. It shouldn’t be fair for a guard to put up the shots he does with such regularity and efficiency that he can taunt like this in a West Finals game.

Then again, Stephen Curry is changing all the rules one shot at a time these days.
