Steph Curry’s Top 10 plays of 2015-16
9. Dancing in the Capital
Curry had a lot of spectacular performances on the road last year. Few were better than his 51 point outburst against the Washington Wizards in the nation’s capitol. He hit eleven three-pointers that magical night.
Curry got off to a great start on February 3rd against John Wall and the Wizards. He hit five of his first five attempts from three-point land. He was getting inside the paint. He was controlling the tempo. None of his threes were better than this one below.
After a Draymond Green layup, Jared Dudley tried to inbound the ball to Wall. With everyone going down to the other side of the court, Curry thought ahead and poked the ball away from Wall. Dudley came in flying in and dove trying to get the ball back.
He kicked the ball up and Curry snatched it right out of the air. Instead of trying to get something at the rim with the two-on-one that was there, he just turned and fired. And, of course, it went in nothing but net.
He then danced around in a circle as the Wizards called timeout in an effort to cool him down and regroup. The entire arena was buzzing. Both Warriors and Wizards fans were on their feet cheering the spectacular performance they were witnessing.
What made this play even more special was what happened the next day. Golden State was invited to visit the White House after winning the 2015 Championship. Curry and the Warriors met with President Obama and the POTUS chose to make fun of the MVP for his jumping around. Check it out here.
You know you did something right when the President is roasting you.
