Plays #3 to #1 are a toss-up. Seriously, they could be put in any order and I’d be OK with it.

This is probably the most difficult play I’ve ever seen successfully executed on a basketball court. It’s also probably the most creative as well.

Curry pulled out every dribble move he has in his arsenal as three Clippers surrounded him, swiping hopelessly at the ball. It was almost as if he was taunting Chris Paul and the Clippers saying “you can’t stop me.” To make matters worse (for Los Angeles), Curry dribbled backwards and stepped back quickly launching a three. It went in, of course.

Steve Kerr’s reaction was perfect. Just perfect. I remember that I didn’t exhale until the ball actually went through the hoop. Objectively speaking, this was probably the best play in all of basketball this season. But Steph Curry can outdo the best.
