There are many amazing qualities to this shot. The distance, obviously; the difficulty, of course. But what is truly astounding about this 30-foot three-pointer from Steph Curry — the NBA marked it as 29 feet on the play-by-play, but it felt like closer to 40 — is how freaking casual he makes it look.
It’s as if Steph was bored by the whole sequence. ‘Oh, I have a few seconds left on the shot clock, and I’m thirty-plus feet away from the basket? Fine, whatever, here.’
Swish.
It was that sorta night for the 2015 NBA MVP, with the Warriors taking a 3-2 lead after a 104-91 Game 5 win.
