A decade-and-half into mastering the art of making the faraway appear close, and the seemingly-impossible appear easy, Stephen Curry confirmed for all who might’ve been curious that yes, over-the-head, full-court skyhook passes are also embedded into his long-range arsenal. Blending together an eye-opening highlight tape before some had even found their seats at Smoothie King Center, the Golden State Warriors superstar engulfs a rebound, all the while maintaining his downfloor teammate’s fastbreak position in his peripheral. In a maneuver that would’ve brought a smile to the NBA’s No. 2 leading scorer, Curry puts torque on a hooking, over-the-body dime that perfectly falls into his teammate’s grasp, setting up a jaw-dropping assist. Accuracy, in nearly every way, was the name of the game for Curry, as he tallied 19 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers. Such efforts helped Golden State survive a nail-biter, clinching West Group C through a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on November 22, 2024. · Nov 23, 2024
