The Memphis Grizzlies are in trouble. They face a do-or-die Game 6 tonight against the Golden State Warriors, who have rediscovered their mojo the past two games and subsequently seized control of their Western Conference semifinals series. Much of this is due to Steph Curry returning to MVP form.
As if you needed any further confirmation that his swagger is off-the-charts right now, the Warriors released this vine of Curry effortlessly sinking ridiculously long-range three-pointers like they were layups. Luckily for the Grizzlies, they’ll get back the self-proclaimed First Team All Defense juggernaut Tony Allen, who missed last game with a hamstring injury.
Worth noting above is that Curry is doing this off the dribble, which is a unique ability among sharpshooters of his caliber. In fact, he’s not only one of the best pure shooters in the NBA, he arguably has one of the best handles in the league, as evidenced by the type of work he puts in during warm-ups on that facet of his game as well.
