[@leziah432]

Yeah it’s pretty crazy experiencing history with your own eyes

[@CharlesChacon]

I grew up in San Antonio during the Duncan dynasty. There’s so many iconic moments for me in NBA history. I remember hating what Curry was doing at the time as they were one of our biggest rivals before the Kawhi saga. Still, when Steph Curry retires, I will shed a tear. The impact that he made on this sport is insane for just one man. I was happy for him to win his Finals MVP and even happier to see his clutch performances win the US the gold medal this year. Well deserved, Mr. Curry.

[@pastense]

The mighty Spurs was our only kryptonite at the time! Yall really gave us a hard time!

[@EdwardElfigo]

@@pastenseyeah, that 2012-13 west semis series between spurs and warriors is underrated af. Also when the warriors won 73 games, spurs weren’t far behind at 67, people forget that for most of the season the warriors weren’t just chasing that record, but trying to get that first seed.

[@pdhps6407]

Its fucking terrible bb. Curry killed the nba int. No one watches this shit internationally now.

[@Dapper_Dean]

Curry is one of those once in a lifetime phenomenon. He shines brighter than any of the other superstars in his era. He will be talked about in decades to come. Those who crave for attention will eventually fade. But Curry's greatness attracts attention automatically, even if he doesn't pursue them. He is a true legend indeed.

[@redatienza5287]

will never forget this game. me, my brothers, and my dad were in awe that steph didn't even think of calling a timeout it was so crazy we were screaming our lungs out after that shot

[@johnnyroams]

genius when you think about it. better to be a little far but wide open in rhythm than scrambling around for a double-teamed contested shot.

[@welsonma3911]

That's when people knew that this was a shot that he practiced. A play that the warriors would opt in to, believing steph's 3 pt shot was a higher percentage play than calling a timeout. There are tons of lucky game winners in the history of NBA. This shot wasn't just luck.

[@Arazorblade]

Man..I will never forgive Durant for joining Warriors not because it made Warriors invincible but because it robbed us neutral NBA fans from another spectacle season from Curry. Because Durant joining Warriors, curry had to take back seat and we just couldn’t see what another season of unanimous Curry would have been. I know he again became scoring champ and won championship but 2016 curry is just not possible to replicate again. The one hand dribble, quick counter and release , shooting high volume 3s at almost 80%. It was like an symphony in motion .

[@joanmcerlean7158]

@@Teek4Tat I so appreciate Knicks fans. When Steph had his 54 I was so impressed at the respect the Knicks fans showed. And when Steph was about to break Ray Allen’s record for 3’s, I was disappointed that he wouldn’t be doing it at home, that he’d likely be on the road instead. When it happened at MSG, I was thrilled and once again, so impressed with the Knicks fans. They were all into it, and so respectful and appreciative and didn’t hold back in showing it. Knicks fans know basketball and know greatness when they see it. I love Knicks fans!

Saw this game in real time. I remember it was a nail-biting game and was very close and competitive. It can easily go either way. I'm a Warriors fan, but even i was in awe when he took that shot during a close game and made it. I know he's into taking threes, but at that clutch moment and distance, it was like Wow.

I remember some of the shots he took before that were impressive in themself. Then he took that one and it took it to a whole nother level and Mike Breen started the double bang.

[@xyzxyz6406]

I don' think people realize how hard it is to make the shots Curry routinely makes look so easy. 99% of the general public would be lucky to make 1 out of 10 shots yet Curry makes them while being guarded by the best players in the world, falling down, stepping back, floating sideways. It's unbelievable to watch.

[@blowc1612]

But this video is completely wrong. The shot that changed the direction of the NBA was the Shot Steph made against the Clippers. It was the shot that Kerr let Steph be the Steph we know today.

[@ordinarypeople20]

Frankly, I don't watch a lot of NBA regular season games -- mainly just highlights. Yet I watched this game, LIVE. I'm so happy I did, because that moment changed the way I viewed basketball. I sensed something had changed; I just didn't realize how much.

[@achiappanza]

Well done! I remember watching that game at a bar in Oakland, and the feeling we all had when he picked up his dribble. It was one collective silent "No way!" I also remember the reports right after the game drastically underestimated the distance. I saw plenty in the 20s... people just couldn't process that it was so deep. Fortunately, I had been recently looking at court dimensions so I knew exactly what he was choosing to do. The thing no one ever mentions is that if you watch the Warriors from the camera behind the other bucket is that the rest of the team isn't really trying to get back or open. Klay is the only one downcourt, and he's way over on the right wing. It's like they knew Steph was just going to take it from somewhere and they were watching too.

[@JL..]

That shot made me and people worldwide start watching basketball, not to mention NBA

[@Laceta2]

Seeing that shot live was something special. I think majority of nba fans tuned into that game that night.

[@Laceta2]

With the Warriors hot start in 2015-2016, the Magic was supposed to be the one to beat them per odds, but Steph knocked down that transition 3 as well on the right side. I don't think I missed a single Warriors game that year.
