NEW YORK (AP) — Perhaps only Stephen Curry could describe his basket as the first half was ending Thursday as a “rhythm shot.” Who else but the most accomplished outside shooter in history could be in rhythm when he's nearly 40 feet away and not even facing the basket? Curry threw in the turnaround heave from beyond half court, showing off his incredible range and shooting ability, to cap off an incredible first half of basketball.
The shot was a testament to Curry's hard work and dedication to his craft. He has spent countless hours in the gym perfecting his shot, and it shows. The confidence he has in his ability to make shots from anywhere on the court is unmatched, and it's a big reason why he's a two-time NBA champion and two-time NBA MVP.
But what's even more impressive than the shot itself is the impact it had on the game. Curry's team was trailing by a significant margin at the time, but the shot seemed to spark a rally. They went on to outscore their opponents in the second half, and although they ultimately fell short, the momentum shift was palpable.
Curry's teammate, Draymond Green, was quick to praise his teammate's incredible ability, saying that the 'NBA is lucky' to have Curry putting on a show every night. And it's hard to argue with that. Curry's unique combination of shooting, ball-handling, and court vision makes him a joy to watch, and his passion for the game is infectious.
As the season wears on, it will be exciting to see what other highlight-reel plays Curry has in store for us. Will he continue to push the boundaries of what's possible on the court? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: with Curry on the court, you can always expect the unexpected.
In a league filled with talented players, Curry stands out as a true showman. His ability to make shots from anywhere on the court, combined with his charisma and passion for the game, makes him a must-watch every time he takes the floor. And as Green said, the NBA is lucky to have him.
So the next time you're watching a Warriors game, make sure to keep an eye on Curry. You never know when he'll make another impossible shot, or lead his team on a thrilling comeback. With Curry on the court, anything can happen, and that's what makes the game so exciting.
