2. Houdini move versus LA
Stephen Curry set himself apart from other great NBA shooters by being able to do it off the dribble at a rate we have never seen before.
The Shot:
This is one that had Steve Kerr shaking his head. Curry wrapped the ball around four Clippers, looking like Neo in the Matrix, dodging hands left and right. Following a series of dribble moves, Curry retreated to the 3-point line and swished the ball through the hoop.
Difficulty:
Again, Curry somehow made this insane shot look easy. He took on four Clippers’ defenders on his own and emerged victoriously. I think Kerr’s reaction sums up the difficulty of this shot pretty well.
Backstory:
People often forget that before the Warriors were three-time champions, they had some real battles with the LA Clippers. That was until Curry began routinely embarrassing them as we see here.
(Bonus Shot)
Another two for one special here, we have Curry snapping Chris Paul’s ankles with a vicious double behind the back move.
