Stephen Curry drains crazy shot to beat shot clock
By Kparrish Jr
The Golden State Warriors lost again Thursday night, but Stephen Curry drained a ridiculous shot with the shot clock winding down against the Chicago Bulls.
We all know, Stephen Curry is a superstar for many different reasons, but it’s his shooting ability that puts him over the top.
Curry’s ability to shoot is so breathtaking it seems reasonable watching him make shots like the one he made against the Chicago Bulls in the fourth quarter Thursday night:
In fact, Curry is one of the main people to blame for the NBA turning into a three-point shooting league. It used to be a big man’s game as the Shaquille O’Neals would dominate the game with their post presence down low. Or it would be a gifted 6’8″, 250-pound freakish athlete like LeBron James who dominated the game.
But then Steph came along with his 3-point bombs, as if he’s shooting simple free throws. The game has many 3-point Hall of Famers like Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, Steve Nash and many more.
Yet Stephen Curry’s records alone back up his case of being the greatest 3-point snipper of all time. Currently holding records of shooting 13 3-pointers in one single game, 402 3-pointers in a single season, most 10+ 3-point games in NBA history (eight), the Warriors franchise leader in 3-point field goals made, and Golden State’s franchise leader in most 3-pointers in a single game.
This wasn’t a 3-point shot, but it might as well have been worth three points for the degree of difficulty.
Yeah, we all know Kevin Durant’s injury holding him out for the reminder of the season is a bummer for Golden State. But the Dubs still have a two-time MVP capable of winning off his shooting alone, not to mention, they’re most dangerous with Curry running the show offensively more than running the offense through Kevin Durant.

Just remember how Curry returned to his MVP form shredding the Los Angeles Clippers defense for 25 points in the third quarter and 43 points for the game on 9-of-15 shooting beyond the arc. Stephen Curry is just amazing to watch and his shooting will forever be remembered after he’s done with the game of basketball.
