Shooting is perhaps the most important component of basketball. However, no one has mastered the art form quite like Stephen Curry. While there have been illustrious, brilliant shooters throughout NBA history, none have had the impact or the accuracy quite like Steph. It is not a coincidence that his brilliance brought about a change in the entire league. Today, he is unanimously recognized as the reason for a shift in the entire NBA’s playstyle. For “revolutionizing the sport”.
But, if this latest video is anything to go by, he might not be done changing the league yet.

Prior to the new-look Golden State Warriors facing off against a familiar foe, a Stephen Curry practice video went viral. In the clip, the greatest shooter that god ever created was casually shooting 3-pointers from the half-court line. Yes, you read that right. After warping the way NBA defenses function and changing the definition of a “good shot”, Curry might be far from done.

Instead, as the Warriors get ready to face the Phoenix Suns and former ally Kevin Durant, Steph is still looking to redefine the sport. The clip, posted by user, Duane Rankin, drew similar reactions from the user himself. One could only marvel at the brilliance and skill on display from the 4-time NBA Champion.
In the same clip, the other?Splash Brother?Klay Thompson was raining down triples from the usual line. With the two looking in top form and their strokes in sync, the?new?Warriors with Chris Paul could become dangerous immediately. How they fare remains to be seen but potential contenders in Devin Booker and the Suns offer up a nice first challenge.
