5 highlights from Warriors’ back-to-back

Steph Curry pulls up from the logo

Stephen Curry is a very good three-point shooter. In fact, he’s so good that he made a lot of shots against the Hornets. In the clip above, he basically pulled up from Charlotte in a game that was being played in Oakland.

There was a lot of talk about Curry’s drop-off once Kevin Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors. He got off to a slow start and people thought he disappeared. They thought he forgot how to play basketball.

Curry is extremely difficult to defend. Analysts, both on TV and on Twitter, try to simplify it. They say putting size on him and playing him tightly around the line helps. And it does, to some extent.

Length has bothered him throughout his career. And taking the three-point shot away from the greatest shooter of all-time seems like a pretty sound strategy. But, of course, it’s a lot easier said than done. He’s quick and the Warriors set good screens to free him up.

But, sometimes, there’s absolutely nothing you can do. Like I said, he is the greatest shooter of all-time after all. He didn’t earn that by just being a solid spot up shooter. He has the most incredible range ever and can shoot off the dribble effortlessly.

Check out the shot in the video above. How many players in the history of the NBA have ever even thought about taking that shot, let alone making it? It wasn’t an end-of-quarter heave or a desperation attempt with the shot clock winding down. That was an actually shot he felt comfortable taking.

Steph Curry is back to hitting logo shots. It was one of his 11 three-pointers he made that night. It was absolutely cold-blooded.

If anyone ever tells you this man is humble and he’s not a killer, remind them that only savages do that kind of stuff.
