1. February 27th, 2016: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors

To this date, this is the greatest regular season performance I have ever witnessed live. The show that Stephen Curry put on this night is something that we may never see again. He was absolutely unstoppable.

The Warriors and Thunder were already rivals at this point. They were two of the best teams in the West and a potential playoff series was in both of their minds. With this being said, this regular season game was much more than another game, it felt like a postseason match.

With the intensity at an all-time high, Curry and Russell Westbrook were entering a duel of their own. Steph was the reigning MVP and in the middle of the NBA’s first ever unanimous MVP campaign. Westbrook and Curry were both looking to make a statement in this game.

At about the midway mark through the fourth quarter, the Thunder held a 12 point lead and seemed ready to close out the game. This is when Curry snapped.

From this point on, Curry scored 19 points and connected on 5 of 6 attempts from beyond the 3-point line. This run included multiple shots in which he had defenders draped all over him. This game was capped off by a pull-up game-winning shot from 32 feet out. The type of shot that no one besides Stephen Curry would feel comfortable shooting.

Curry finished with 46 points and was one 3-pointer shy of breaking the all-time single-game record. This game also was the highlight of a four-game stretch where Curry averaged an astonishing 43.8 points on 60.8 percent shooting.
