Stephen Curry pushes the limits of the impossible in the NBA. Evening after evening. On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors point guard suddenly started shooting a foot nine yards from the circle. And of course he put it on.

His reaction and the one at Steve Kerr are almost as crazy as the basket itself for that matter.

What stands out from this shot is above all the joy, creativity and freedom with which Stephen Curry plays on the floor. His decision-making is not always to be reproduced, especially for young players. But the pleasure he takes, that should be taught. He’s having fun. He never loses sight of that. And this is also undoubtedly what explains his success, in addition to the work and an obvious gift for basketball. In any case, what a treat.
The irony is that Curry didn’t score many more baskets after this one last night. He got stuck at 36 points without scoring in the fourth quarter – and that for the third game in a row! Except this time around, the Warriors lost. They lost against the Memphis Grizzlies (101-104), conceding their first loss of the season.
