Perhaps only Stephen Curry could describe his basket as the first half was ending as a “rhythm shot.” This incredible shot was just one of many highlights from Curry's recent 40-point game, a performance that left fans and teammates alike in awe.
As the clock wound down on the first half, Curry found himself with the ball in his hands, and in a split second, he launched the ball from beyond half court, watching as it sailed through the air and dropped perfectly through the hoop.
When asked about the shot after the game, Curry simply described it as a “rhythm shot,” a term that hardly does justice to the incredible skill and precision that went into making it.
But while Curry's shot was undoubtedly the highlight of the first half, it was just one part of a much larger performance that saw him score 40 points and lead his team to a decisive victory.
Throughout the game, Curry was on fire, hitting shots from all over the court and leaving defenders struggling to keep up with him.
His teammate, Draymond Green, was quick to praise Curry's performance after the game, saying that the 'NBA is lucky' to have a player like Curry, who is capable of putting on a show like this every time he steps onto the court.
“He's a once-in-a-generation player,” Green said. “To be able to witness it, to be able to play with him, it's an honor. The NBA is lucky to have him, and we're lucky to have him on our team.”
Green's words were echoed by fans and commentators, who were all left stunned by Curry's incredible performance.
As for Curry, he remained humble as always, saying that he was just happy to have been able to help his team win, and that the shot at the end of the first half was just one of those moments where everything comes together.
Despite his humility, however, there's no denying that Curry's performance was something special, a reminder of just how talented he is and why he's considered one of the greatest players in the game today.
