Steph Curry’s Top 10 plays of 2015-16

1. OKC game-winner

Duh.

As if anything else could be number one on this list. Aside from maybe Kyrie Irving’s three-pointer in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, no play in basketball was bigger this. Perhaps no play in sports was bigger than this shot.

This was the best game of Curry’s career as he scored 46 points and made a record-tying 12 three-pointers. After the game ended, I wrote how the game was a microcosm of Curry’s entire career. The ups and downs of these 48 minutes were a small-scale version of the trials and tribulations that the two-time MVP has faced during his professional career.

I lost count how many times I’ve watched his replay. For a few weeks after it happened, this was part of my daily routine. It was that much fun.

Think of how ridiculous this shot is. That is just a few steps inside the half court line. I tried to go out and replicate this shot. I got nothing but air. This shot breaks the difficulty scale.

What makes this play really amazing was how casual he was about the whole situation. Time was winding down in overtime and he was slowly jogging the ball up court, not thinking of calling a timeout. This wasn’t a heave. He lined this shot up and measured out the distance before letting it fly.

Social media exploded. Oklahoma City had broken hearts. And Steph Curry secured his second Most Valuable Player award on that night.
