Steph Curry’s Top 10 plays of 2015-16

8. All-Star Splash

Who cares that the All-Star Game doesn’t mean anything? This play was still really cool. And it had the best players in the world on their feet celebrating.

For the third year in a row, Steph Curry started the All-Star Game. The whole game is basketball a highlight. But the best one for the star guard came right at the end.

With time winding down, the West looked like they were going to just let the clock run out. They were up by 23 points and Curry was just dribbling near the half court line as the players on both sides just stood around. Then he decided to launch.

With Durant right next to him, Curry lined up the shot, hopped, and released. The ball floated through the sky as the East players (and Russell Westbrook) got in position to rebound the ball. There was no need. It hit nothing but net.

Everyone loved it. Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were into it. Even Gregg Popovich was having fun with it.

What makes this play hilarious is that most people didn’t see it live. The cameras were focused on Kobe Bryant, who played in his last All-Star game. The Mamba was on the bench and he watched Curry’s shot and was just as excited as everyone else.

There’s nothing better than standing out when surrounded by the very best of your peers.
