“The Warriors have timeout, Decide not to use it, Curry way downtown Bang, Bang, What a Shot by Curry! With 0.6 of a second remaining!” -Mike Breen One of the Greatest NBA Moments of All Time! Let’s Go DubNation!

thats what made him the greatest shooter ever. it was all skill no luck. every other player i know wouldve used that time out form lebron to mj to magic and everyone else. only curry had the confidence AND skill to hit that shot while still having a timeout

One of my favorite moments comes at about 4:35. Curry has just taken the shot, the ball is in the air, the camera is following the ball, and in the background the camera pans across the OKC bench, and for an instant you see #11. With the ball still in the air, he raises his hands in frustrated resignation..... like... how could you let Curry have an open shot from 40 feet.
