If you haven’t seen Steph Curry‘s game-winning 32-footer in the past 10 minutes, we have some great news for you.
No, seriously, that’s not sarcasm. With Jon Stewart off The Daily Show, Curry’s shot is the most watchable thing on TV and the internet today.
ESPN’s Sport Science, which is science the way cotton candy is cotton, broke down the insane shot for two-plus minutes. There are things in there about the angles of Curry’s knees and elbow, the timing of his release, something else about the width of a key and all sorts of graphics that make you feel like you’re in a real science class.
Really, the entire endeavor is just an excuse to watch the shot a dozen times.
Or you could watch all 12 of the 3-pointers he hit that night against Oklahoma City and read all the reactions of NBA players realizing Curry isn’t human. Think of it as Sports Sociology and share his amazing season with your friends.
The Curry Sport Science is reminiscent of the saddest Sport Science ever, when Butler nearly defeated Duke in the 2010 national championship game. Gordon Hayward’s shot from just across the half-court line was off by inches and included mentions of launch angle and release velocity and why oh why couldn’t have Curry taken this shot and beaten Duke? Life is not fair.
