Steph Curry leaps through defense, wraps dime around back in the air

Steph Curry did not have to wait very long to pump himself and the Golden State Warriors up. In the second game of his 14th NBA season, the nine-time All-Star lost control of the ball on the perimeter before handing it off to Kevon Looney. Looney dumped it down low to Draymond Green, who immediately flicked a pass to a cutting Curry for a driving layup that had him mugging for the baseline camera in celebration. It was the second of three straight 30-point games to open the 2022-23 season for Curry, who posted 34 points, five rebounds, four assists and five 3-pointers against the Denver Nuggets on October 21, 2022.

Steph Curry never has been one to shy away from putting his legendary range on display. In a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, a Golden State Warriors possession ended with a Curry turnover before the nine-time All-Star quickly redeemed himself by picking Jayson Tatum’s pocket on the counterattack. With the second quarter clock hurtling toward zero, Curry only had time to loft a prayer from beyond halfcourt that of course landed in the bottom of the net. Curry posted a team-high 29 points in the overtime battle while adding four rebounds, seven assists, three steals, two blocks and six 3-pointers on January 19, 2023.

Twelve years of buckets sure add up quick. As his teammates set up their offense in the first quarter of an April 12, 2021 win over the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry pushes the pace and attacks the paint for an historic layup. With the bucket, Curry supplanted mythically dominant big man Wilt Chamberlain as the iconic franchise’s all-time leading scorer.

Can you even call it a heat check when the temperature is always through the roof? Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry continues to redefine what’s possible from beyond the arc – and on the dance floor – pulling up from the logo for a forty-footer three seconds into the shot clock in a February 6, 2021 tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. The icon finished with 11 triples and 57 total points on the night.

Down by five points with 17 seconds left in a playoff game is a bad place to be — unless Steph Curry is on your side. In his first MVP and championship season, the Golden State Warriors icon flashed some of his patented brilliance in crunch time in Game 3 of a first-round postseason series against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Warriors trailed by 20 heading into the final period before mounting a furious rally, capped off by a pair of Curry 3-pointers in the final 11 seconds, with the first coming on the preceding Golden State possession. Now down three with nine seconds on the clock, Curry grabbed an inbound pass from Draymond Green in the corner before misfiring on a triple that would have tied the game on the spot. Luckily for fans of the nascent dynasty, Marreese Speights snared the offensive board and handed the ball back to Curry for another corner triple that broke the raucous home crowd’s heart. It marked the first time in 359 tries during the shot clock era that the Warriors won a game in which they trailed by 20 points entering the fourth, and they had Curry’s 40 points to thank for it. Curry also finished with five rebounds and nine assists in the thrilling 123-119 overtime victory on April 23, 2015 and his club finished off the sweep two nights later.

Even when you’ve covered Steph Curry perfectly, sometimes, you still haven’t defended him well enough. With his eyes set on a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals, the former multi-time Most Valuable Player moves just enough out of a Dallas Mavericks defender’s line of sight, faking a dribble handoff and drifting to the left corner for a signature triple, walking off before the shot hits the net. Curry was in playoff mode in the 109-100 win on May 22, 2022, with 31 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and five three-pointers.

Down 20 points with playoff seeding on the line, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors never panicked. The nine-time All-Star stayed calm under pressure despite being face-guarded by CJ McCollum, and with Curry unable to get his own shot off he did the next best thing — whipped a pass to Klay Thompson, who buried the catch-and-shoot 3-pointer. Curry’s dish capped a huge final frame for the Warriors, who outscored the New Orleans Pelicans by 15 in the period and turned the huge deficit into a 120-109 win. Curry posted 39 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and an 8 for 15 mark from downtown on March 28, 2023.

When Steph Curry starts catching fire, there isn’t much that opposing defenses can actually do about it. Against the LA Clippers in this one, the four-time Golden State Warriors champion hit the 50-point threshold for the 12th time in his legendary career. Curry showed off his patented lightning-quick release from downtown as he torched the Clips for 8 triples in 14 tries, hitting step-back jumpers over Paul George, Ivica Zubac and anyone else the defense sent his way. Curry also showed off his evasive handles in attacking the lane, blowing by Zubac with an ankle-breaking maneuver that led to an underhand scoop shot. Curry also utilized a spin move that gave him enough space to stick a tough baseline fadeaway and proved elusive enough to split a pair of Clippers defenders on a strong drive to the bucket that resulted in a well-earned layup. An All-Star for the ninth time in 2023, the two-time MVP shot 20 of 28 for 50 points — 21 in an explosive third quarter — and also mixed in six assists and two steals on March 15, 2023.
