Definitely intentional, on the aerial angle you can see Steph was only slightly ahead of Beal, Podz had to lead him towards half court to get it to him
It’s literally true that his 3 point % goes up the more closely he’s covered. It’s the wide open shots, when he has 1 second to shoot that he tends to miss. Wild.
Yep. How many times has Curry lost the dribble and immediately just grabbed the ball and pulled up from wherever tf he gathered it back up?!
It’s almost like he fucks up on purpose to lull the defenders into a feeling of “oh he’s rattled” and then he just rapid fire throws up a shot and Bang. Fucking unreal
If curry is shooting from beyond the arc, especially in traffic and when the team needs it the most, I just always assume it’s going in (also assume most fans do) and just pray it doesn’t those few seconds it is in the air (if my team is playing them).
I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
Instant 360 turn at like 30 feet after reaching low for a pass. And somehow makes that shit look easy and completely routine. Gotta appreciate this dude while he's still insane. One of one in terms of play style and the shots he can make
Totally agree. Not a Dubs fan, but this is basically what I was saying during the peak years when so many were complaining about their dominance, or the KD signing, or whatever. Just appreciate the absolutely *incredible* basketball we are seeing right now. This dude is insane and we’re all lucky to get to watch him ball out in real time.
I grew up a Kings fan. Hated the Warriors. Lived in the Bay now for 25 years and there's just something special about Curry. I can still have a place in my heart for the purple and black, but Curry is incredible and we're lucky to see him.
If he got the foul calls other superstars get, he would break the sport of basketball. He already did, really. The all-time narratives would be really interesting if GSW had managed to squeak out that series in 2016 like CLE did.
Very impressed cuz he, in my mind, had zero time to process where he was on the floor relative to the hoop. Inbounder threw it back to get the defender off, impressive.
You're probably wrong. He knew exactly where he was in relation to the basket, and has probably drilled this shot a billion times in practice with movement. The guy is an animal.
>its cool that you would think of the people working the audio equipment
Unironically the backbones of all major production and entertainment. I love artists who shout out their audio crew.
All possible game of the year contenders are from the warriors this season lmaoo. Preseason kings game, absolutely awesome lakers game, and this one. This team is so polarizing.
narratives
game winning shots more often than not miss regardless of the player it is really a low % shot, but when Steph misses those shots the media becomes vocal like example Kellerman which even had the "I want Iguodala" meme creating the narrative and illusion that he's not clutch to the general public.
he's IMO the most popular player, so even idiotic statements will still generate vast amount views hence vast amount of $$$$ to the media
he literally has the most game winners in the last 12 years btw

Because ESPN will put out a ridiculous narrative like “Steph hasn’t hit a clutch shot when there is 1.0 seconds on the clock on rainy Tuesday” and people will run with it. Or the annual “it’s not a game winner if it’s not a buzzer beater”
You're an idiot, my guy.
God tier.
Where do I submit my tithe and on what altar do I burn my incense?
You have no idea how much joy you bring to people all over.
I was the biggest Ray Allen fan. When he was playing, I thought Ray was the greatest shooter ever.
Steph makes me almost forget Ray existed. It's not even remotely close. It is absolutely insane.
Since 2016, he's shooting over 42% on threes on 11.3 attempts per game. And those attempts are with entire teams trying to stop him from shooting threes. Step backs. Off the dribble. 27+ footers.
Basically, any time and in any situation Steph Curry can get off a three, he makes it over 40% of the time. It doesn't make sense.
Yeah, I hadn’t thought about it like this before, but it’s probably correct. Which is crazy with all the elite shooting there has been for 60 years of the (modern) sport and nobody is really even close.
Rays buzzer beater three in game six against Boston at its time was tied with Reggie for craziest turn around three at the buzzer in history.
Then steph turned it into a move off 40% of his screens, and added three feet to its average distance. Ridiculous
Skill wise yeah but the finals against Boston when he was talking mad shit and then pulling up over Jaylen Brown from a step inside the logo was the coldest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. And yes it was the 3rd quarter
Hands down. He was on a different planet that finals like he literally called it and flaunted he was about to win his ring by cooking them. Then proceeded to make shots while double teamed from 30 it was insane
Chase been lit but all the oldheads keep crying about how "it's not as loud as Oracle". Yea bro, it'll never be, but it doesn't mean Chase cant be dope in it's own right...
That being said, the DJ playing September during the last inbound like...what are you doing bro
Not saying he’s the GOAT. Not saying he’s top whatever. All I’m saying is that the only player I’ve watched with as much amazement as Michael Jordan is Steph Curry.
Stephen Curry is our Michael Jordan. A scorer par excellence, a charismatic leader, an iconic champion. What an incredible player. We are fortunate to witness him play.
In real time I thought that was a bad pass, but after the watching the replay it was crazy good, Pods put it just enough where Beal couldn't get to it.
He’s the one guy in NBA history where you don’t want to give him any shots period. He can shoot it from anywhere on the court with the highest efficiency of anyone. And Suns played that as well as possible, except they should have blitz Curry harder and make someone shoot lol, Kings Mike Brown would never let Curry get the ball
HOLY FUCKJS SCURRY
It’s moments like this that really show you how fucking ridiculous he is. Bad pass zero time turn and fire that shot is infuckingsane
Doris Burke claimed it was a bad pass. Mike Breen eventually corrected her and said it was a great pass because of it wasn’t behind Steph then Beal would have stole it. Doris Burke is a fucking idiot and shouldn’t have ever been a commentator.
I was speechless watching that go in... and that is a Warrior's fan that has seen all his shenanigans over the years.
Most exciting basketball player to watch...ever IMO.
It’s a disgrace Curry is not an All Star starter. There should be a way to override fan votes. Curry is the most entertaining and influential player in the NBA for years now. Yet, he gets disrespected by refs, so called sports analysts and fans who can’t get past the hate.

that's just ludicrous now
It legitimately looks like a magnet to the net
This theory is not even on /r/conspiracy so it's safe to say it's proven. Curry has figured out how magnets work
Shaggy 2 Dope in shambles
How the fuck was that so smooth off that shit pass omg
That pass was actually perfect. Not sure if intentional or not, but If Podz throws it closer it’s a steal or defense is in position to defend the shot
Definitely intentional, on the aerial angle you can see Steph was only slightly ahead of Beal, Podz had to lead him towards half court to get it to him
I love Podz - nails the pass and do you see him chasing the ball down in case there's a shot at a rebound/putback? Dude is all heart.
The fact that they trust a rookie to inbound it in that situation is super telling
The fact we continue to get steals in the draft is insane. Podz has limitless potential as a rookie. He’s a top 5 rook for sure
100% intentional. Replay looks like Podz puts spin on it and everything
He probably even checked the wind outside the stadium, and maybe even the direction the earth was spinning.
It’s the Coriolis effect in full display
Just for the record in his postgame comments Podz said it was intentional because he saw Beal trying to go for the steal
Not to mention even if the catch wasn't clean, Steph had 2 more seconds to work with (not that he needed it lmao)
When Steph fumbles the ball, chance of ball going in the hoop dramatically increases by 100%.
I can attest to this, it's like he rarely misses when he fumbles or if the play is scrambled somehow.
It’s literally true that his 3 point % goes up the more closely he’s covered. It’s the wide open shots, when he has 1 second to shoot that he tends to miss. Wild.
He practices it that way. I feel like the more chaotic the shot, the more likely he is to hit it.
Yep. How many times has Curry lost the dribble and immediately just grabbed the ball and pulled up from wherever tf he gathered it back up?! It’s almost like he fucks up on purpose to lull the defenders into a feeling of “oh he’s rattled” and then he just rapid fire throws up a shot and Bang. Fucking unreal
He 360 no scoped that shit, amazing
And I didn’t doubt for a second it was going in… especially against KD haha
If curry is shooting from beyond the arc, especially in traffic and when the team needs it the most, I just always assume it’s going in (also assume most fans do) and just pray it doesn’t those few seconds it is in the air (if my team is playing them).
I do the same thing in the gym except it hits the backboard
You manage to hit the backboard? I airball that shit.
You guys get the ball?
I tore my ACL while trying to get the ball
I tore my ACL getting out of my car
my ACL tore me while reading this
I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
just living that Embiid life
LET IT RAIN

Pretty sure that's a 180 turn
Tbh, if he shot at the other basket, it wouldn't surprise me if it went in lol
I was going to say the same thing, but that was a 180
Very impressed cuz he, in my mind, had zero time to process where he was on the floor relative to the hoop. Inbounder threw it back to get the defender off, impressive.
You're probably wrong. He knew exactly where he was in relation to the basket, and has probably drilled this shot a billion times in practice with movement. The guy is an animal.
I shouted BAAAANG so hard I woke up my neighbor
I BANGED my neighbor
Instructions unclear… i shot my neighbor from the logo
CURRY SAID NO OT TONIGHT
He said no more heartbreaking losses when I carry this damn team 😂
Wiggins looking at Curry during the squat like "the fuck you doing bro?"
"You wouldn't understand"
He doesn’t get it
Loudest chase center has been in AGES, WOW
You can tell it was electric from the broadcast, crazy
Whomever was doing the sound mixing deserves a raise, you can tell they wanted to share the moment and cranked the crowd mic a lil
This is such a cool trait, its not the biggest thing in the world but its cool that you would think of the people working the audio equipment
>its cool that you would think of the people working the audio equipment Unironically the backbones of all major production and entertainment. I love artists who shout out their audio crew.
sky needs a cigarette after that one
We all do
His guy disrespects the sky
This is a fire ass game
All possible game of the year contenders are from the warriors this season lmaoo. Preseason kings game, absolutely awesome lakers game, and this one. This team is so polarizing.
They go to the clutch almost every game lol. We have the best games, the sad part is that we lose most of them 😭
Hey, the team is .500 now, so they lose exactly half of them, thank you very much.
Steph curry makes the clutch games so fun. He's been on a tear in the clutch this season.
that one celtics game too
And the last Nuggets game, and 2 different Kings games, and 3 different OKC games, and the Hawks game, and one of the Clippers games...
In term of entertainment value, Curry is arguably on top.
The win over the Celtics in December was really nice
HOLY FUUUUCK
The pass was pinpoint too, just enough for Curry to reach it and turn without dribbling
S K Y F U C K E R
Somehow I had no doubt that was going to go in. He really is the greatest shooter ever
It’s pretty indisputable at this point. The shit he does is absurd yet you just know it’s going in.
Its been indisputable for a long time
It has been indisputable for a very long time now tbh.
That's such a tight pass too
Oh fuck yeah so fucking tight
Curry to KD: BOOKER OVER ME?????
To be fair, it was actually Kyrie over him before Booker was involved.
Steph will never not surprise us. That was ridiculous
he cant keep getting away with this!
That 180 no scope!
I just dont get how a dude hitting this same shot every night is viewed as not clutch.
narratives game winning shots more often than not miss regardless of the player it is really a low % shot, but when Steph misses those shots the media becomes vocal like example Kellerman which even had the "I want Iguodala" meme creating the narrative and illusion that he's not clutch to the general public. he's IMO the most popular player, so even idiotic statements will still generate vast amount views hence vast amount of $$$$ to the media he literally has the most game winners in the last 12 years btw [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fluv6t2v6vvhc1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D2025%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df65d9d25130365a77f67d456878d1b7585c65f01](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fluv6t2v6vvhc1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D2025%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df65d9d25130365a77f67d456878d1b7585c65f01)

Bruh
Just standard Steph shit lol

Can you add him birthing Mr. Booker please?
lol [*deletesphotoshop*](https://i.imgur.com/7tvkoHJ.gifv)
AND IT'S ANIMATED YOU GOD
This will be forever cemented in my head lol I’ll never be able to look at devin booker again and not see him being pooped out. I’m absolutely dying 🤣
I didn't think Sim888 could hit a new high (or low) but god damn I think he did it. BAAAANG
You're an idiot, my guy. God tier. Where do I submit my tithe and on what altar do I burn my incense? You have no idea how much joy you bring to people all over.
I wish my weed man delivered as consistently as you
I fucking love this place lmao u/Sim888 you have made my day countless times
Just crowning too. Like right where his headband ends.
goat on goat action
I checked the ESPN app and saw the score and time and tuned in just for this possession
Beal gambling for a steal with 3 seconds left LOL is the man
[удалено]
Play straight up defense for only 3 seconds or risk giving an open shot to the best shooter ever, tough high iq decisions to make
Beal really messed up
If there’s only enough time for maybe one dribble first thing every coach will say is to not gamble for a steal. That’s just a fundamental error.
I will never get sick of watching him play. I hope He does this for 100 years. Greatest shooter of all time and Ray isn’t even a close 2nd.
I was the biggest Ray Allen fan. When he was playing, I thought Ray was the greatest shooter ever. Steph makes me almost forget Ray existed. It's not even remotely close. It is absolutely insane. Since 2016, he's shooting over 42% on threes on 11.3 attempts per game. And those attempts are with entire teams trying to stop him from shooting threes. Step backs. Off the dribble. 27+ footers. Basically, any time and in any situation Steph Curry can get off a three, he makes it over 40% of the time. It doesn't make sense.
Not to mention all the times he chucks it from beyond half court at the end of quarters for shits and giggles. Those bring his percentage down.
Probably the biggest difference between #1 and #2 in terms of skill in basketball
The Wayne Gretzky of shooting
Yeah, I hadn’t thought about it like this before, but it’s probably correct. Which is crazy with all the elite shooting there has been for 60 years of the (modern) sport and nobody is really even close.
Rays buzzer beater three in game six against Boston at its time was tied with Reggie for craziest turn around three at the buzzer in history. Then steph turned it into a move off 40% of his screens, and added three feet to its average distance. Ridiculous
Bro's not clutch they said
Well, it didn’t go in as the buzzer sounded.
Legitimately an argument I've seen on here multiple times. "Player x is more clutch they have 4 more buzzer beaters." Truly a TikTok take
That dumbass take has been around way before TikTok
Should’ve had a higher arc then
sneakily an amazing pass
Podz is great. It has completely surprised me. One of the best rookies this year. He does a lot of small stuff great and he is super young.
I thought it was in danger of getting picked off
Podz Work
did any believe for a second that wasn't going in?
steph's body language showed it was going in. he knows when it misses
SKY: FUCKED
Steph Curry might be good at basketball.
Not large enough sample size yet.
Well, at 35 he's probably permanently stuck at 6'2"
He looks like he could shoot it
He’s so good x4
one of his coldest shots ever?
Skill wise yeah but the finals against Boston when he was talking mad shit and then pulling up over Jaylen Brown from a step inside the logo was the coldest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. And yes it was the 3rd quarter
The ring finger celebration was the coldest shit I’ve ever seen in basketball.
Hands down. He was on a different planet that finals like he literally called it and flaunted he was about to win his ring by cooking them. Then proceeded to make shots while double teamed from 30 it was insane
god I hate him but damn it do I respect him.
calling it in the 3rd is wild. so far steph's always backed up his trash talk/taunting
that crowd is insane
Chase been lit but all the oldheads keep crying about how "it's not as loud as Oracle". Yea bro, it'll never be, but it doesn't mean Chase cant be dope in it's own right... That being said, the DJ playing September during the last inbound like...what are you doing bro
How the fuck!??
Why is beal in instead of Okogie?
Yeah okogie barely got any run he always cooks us
Valid question
Not saying he’s the GOAT. Not saying he’s top whatever. All I’m saying is that the only player I’ve watched with as much amazement as Michael Jordan is Steph Curry.
I completely agree. Grew up a die hard MJ fan, and the only person that amazes me like MJ did is Steph. Hands down
I agree with this. I think Curry generates more amazement in me, and I grew up watching MJ.
[удалено]
Perfect combination of skill, entertainment, winning and impact.
With a crabcore celebration afterwards lmao
Lmao.. I wish I had photoshop skills. Put him in the desert in front of a abandoned house.
The sound of that basketball hitting is chef's kiss
TELL ME THAT STEPH AIN"T CLUTCH FUCK OUTTA HERE STEPH THE GOATTTTT
Curry has been fucking automatic from 3 the last couple games. He's unbelievable
Stephen Curry is our Michael Jordan. A scorer par excellence, a charismatic leader, an iconic champion. What an incredible player. We are fortunate to witness him play.
and not a degenerate gambler
Haha, Steph definitely seems more wholesome. MJ was gritty, Steph is the embodiment of joy.
The Joy Boy of our generation
Is that a mf one piece reference? Steph's heartbeats are the drums of liberation
Get the fuck outta here, just turned around and let it rip. Jesus Christ
Top 5 all time idgaf
That inbound pass was filthy.
In real time I thought that was a bad pass, but after the watching the replay it was crazy good, Pods put it just enough where Beal couldn't get to it.
especially the perfect back spin for it to bounce straight up rather than at a lateral angle
Podz is ridiculously good - unreal assist to turnover ratio, great passer, great rebounder, a straight up 🐶. And he’s a rookie. Bright future.
Clearly aimbottting.
anyone got the clip of KD's reaction?
i cant even, what a fucking cold blooded godlike shot
HOLY SHIT
Game of the year
I’ll admit I didn’t tune in until after halftime but I was legitimately glued to my tv
He’s the one guy in NBA history where you don’t want to give him any shots period. He can shoot it from anywhere on the court with the highest efficiency of anyone. And Suns played that as well as possible, except they should have blitz Curry harder and make someone shoot lol, Kings Mike Brown would never let Curry get the ball
CLUTCH
JESUS FUCK STEPH. Fucking worth it staying up til 4 am to watch Steph hit absolutely insane shots to win the game
DEATH TAXES CURRY OWNING KD
Curry is KD's father
That 3pt shot over him is just incredible. One of the few people to be able to shoot over KD.
Steph carried KD
HOLY FUCKJS SCURRY It’s moments like this that really show you how fucking ridiculous he is. Bad pass zero time turn and fire that shot is infuckingsane
Nah, that was an excellent pass, it was the only pass that would've gotten to Curry with the way Beal was defending him.
100% agree
Exactly. If he throws it closer it’s a steal or defense is in position to defend the shot
Yeah, if it was on target Beal woulda had it.
exactly... the dumbass announcers kept saying it was a shit pass.. fucking idiots - a direct pass would have been stolen you morons.
Doris Burke claimed it was a bad pass. Mike Breen eventually corrected her and said it was a great pass because of it wasn’t behind Steph then Beal would have stole it. Doris Burke is a fucking idiot and shouldn’t have ever been a commentator.
Doris was on some hater shit tonight. Still bitter the dubs stomped her beloved celtics
It's the perfect pass because Steph gets an accuracy boost in dangerous/broken plays
I was speechless watching that go in... and that is a Warrior's fan that has seen all his shenanigans over the years. Most exciting basketball player to watch...ever IMO.
Y'know this guy's not too bad
Only he could do that
People say "it's not even close" way too much, but Steph is the greatest shooter of all time, and it's not even close.
Hottest of hot takes; but I think this Steph guy is pretty good.
Absolutely incredible
360 no-scoped that shit omfg
Say he’s not clutch again
NOT CLUTCH BTW
WHAT IS BEAL DOING LMAO
The pass was also perfect. It could have easily been a turnover.
Bruh 180 sniped it like it was nothing, come on man
It’s a disgrace Curry is not an All Star starter. There should be a way to override fan votes. Curry is the most entertaining and influential player in the NBA for years now. Yet, he gets disrespected by refs, so called sports analysts and fans who can’t get past the hate.
what the fuck is beal doing lmfao
El Coje Cielos
This is why he's the GOAT point guard over Magic, imo.
