Over the past decade or so, Stephen Curry has really displayed his wizardry on numerous instances. After all these years, Curry still manages to find a way to leave fans in awe of his greatness.
On Saturday night, during the shootaround prior to the Warriors–Spurs tip-off, Steph hit his signature pregame shot from the stands of Chase Center. The Baby-Faced Assassin started this tunnel shot back in 2013 when the Warriors still played in the Oracle Arena. As a ritual, one of the team’s staff members would pass him the ball, and Steph would sink the long-distance tunnel shot.
Since the Chase Center doesn’t have a tunnel, like the one in Oracle Arena, Chef Curry had to take his shot from the stands. And unsurprisingly, the 2-time MVP knocked it down yesterday night.
Here, have a look at the shot.
