Stephen Curry’s incredible rafters shot gone viral
Stephen Curry is one of one.
Stephen Curry is a magician with the basketball, and this fact of life is simply an axiom at this point. Curry has made a living out of making the most ridiculously difficult shots, and the Golden State Warriors, as a result of his greatness, have been one of the greatest teams over the past 12 or so years. But some of the shots that Curry makes still must be seen to be believed, including his latest bonkers trick shot that has gone viral on social media.
Curry, in an empty gym with low vertical clearance and hanging beams on the ceiling, took a heave from beyond the halfcourt line. Now, the Warriors star can throw a line drive towards the basket so that the ball wouldn’t hit the ceiling. Instead, Curry decided to test his luck and shoot the ball with such a high arc. Curry’s skill, of course, meant that there was only one outcome awaiting him — a swish.
At this point, nothing should surprise fans anymore with regards to Stephen Curry’s ability to create magic with the basketball. These feats reinforce the notion that the Warriors star was put on earth for this exact purpose — to be one of the most entertaining basketball wizards to ever grace the planet.
Curry has made it a habit to treat fans to ridiculous feats of skill; he popularized the tunnel shot prior to games, and his touch on layups and floaters allows him to contort his body every which way and still make a basket.
The Warriors star should one-up himself even further. Perhaps having his hands tied behind his back, forcing him to launch the ball at an awkward angle, would make for a ridiculous challenge for the first-ever unanimous MVP of the NBA. But knowing Curry and his skill level, nothing is too difficult for him to pull off on a basketball court at any given moment.
