Nobody else makes this shot.

I mean technically if you gave a monkey a typewriter and a million years, he might type Hamlet or something. Given the millions of interations of people playing basketball, somebody might have made this shot at some point in human history. But Steph Curry knew it was in the instant it left his hands.

I know it's a preseason game, I know this dosen't have anything to do with the regular season, which doesn't matter anyway (damn play in tournament). I know that Steph Curry isn't as good as Jokic today and probably never has been, let alone in the GOAT conversation. I know that the history of this sport is long and that there have other great three-point and midrange shooters who earned their spot in history and/or deserved to be remembered. Still. Nobody else makes this shot.

Appreciate Steph Curry while he's still elite.

Wow I've never seen anyone make a contested three pointer for a game winner, gtfo you shitty troll.

Kyrie could hit that in the Finals, Steph can only hit that in the preseason

I can’t count how many clutch shots Steph has made in the finals or playoffs.

"Appreciate Steph Curry while he's still elite."

He'll be able to shoot 3's like this until he's 50.

Why even bring up Jokic? Even if you think his peak is better you can still make a good argument for Steph.

I get it's a game winner, but it's a preseason game. Players hit that shot all the time, it's not something only Steph can do

Damn you really went full overreaction this, huh?
