Stephen Curry has produced more remarkable shots in casual settings than any other player in basketball history, and he did it onc again on Thursday night.
This instance occurred in Brooklyn during the final play of the first half as the Warriors faced off against the Nets. Curry received the ball at midcourt with his back to the basket and three seconds remaining. There was nothing left to do but pivot and shoot, and, as expected, Curry nailed it like it was a routine midrange jumper.

I mean come on, man. A 35-foot fadeaway? And here’s the kicker: Curry took that shot with every intention of making it. it was a heave but not a desperate prayer. There’s a difference.
The clock allowed just enough time for a dribble or two, yet Curry understood that would likely lead to a more tough attempt. By releasing it just slightly earlier, he granted himself the space needed for at least a clear view of the rim.
This is all that someone like Curry requires.
Curry has been developing quite a knack for these halftime buzzer-beaters lately. Against Orlando last Thursday, he sank a three-quarter court shot to conclude the first half, providing his team with crucial momentum for an impressive second-half comeback whereCurry finished with 56 points.
