There are no words to describe Steph Curry. There is nothing I can write here that will accurately describe his play this season. On Saturday night against the Thunder, Curry made 12 three-pointers en route to a 46-point effort and a 121-118 win for the Warriors. His last three came courtesy of this 32-foot bomb with 0.6 seconds remaining in overtime.
Is this real life? Because this doesn’t look like real life.
The shot tied an NBA record for most three’s in a game. Additionally, Steph broke his own single-season record for made three’s in a season with 287. REMINDER: There are still 24 games left.

NBA fans went wild on Twitter after the shot, but it was the reaction from Curry’s peers in the NBA that has everyone talking. Everyone, including Lebron James, had thoughts about the performance.

If @StephenCurry30's game winning 3-pointer doesn't prove he's the greatest shooter we've ever seen, I don't know what will!

And if you’re wondering if that was a good shot from Steph, allow ESPN to weigh in.
Was Stephen Curry's 32-ft game-winner a good shot? Of course. He's shooting 50% on shots from 30+ ft this season, best in NBA (min. 5 shots)
