NBA Fans Recall 2016 Stephen Curry as $163 Million Star De’Aaron Fox Drops a Half Court Game Winner vs Magic

The Golden State Warriors entered 2015-16 as the defending champions. They reached the NBA Finals again that season but lost to LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers. However, there were many moments to cherish for the Warriors fans during that season. Stephen Curry was at his shooting peak and buried threes from almost everywhere. During a game against Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016, Curry sank a 32-footer buzzer-beater against OKC for a Warriors win. Now, NBA fans got to witness another buzzer-beater from the Sacramento Kings vs Orlando Magic game that reminded them of Steph’s shot from 2016.

De’Aaron Fox has been in incredible form this season. He continued that against the Orlando Magic as he scored 37 points in the 40 minutes he played. However, it wasn’t his performance that made the headlines, but his game-winning buzzer-beater from the logo. The 24-year-old was in possession with just a little more than a second remaining on the clock. He buried a three-pointer to win the game for the Kings in OT.

NBA fans react to DeAaron Fox’s buzzer-beater, compare with Stephen Curry

The 24-year-old Kings star is all over social media after his game-winning shot for the Kings. Fans took to social media to react to his incredible shot from the logo. While some drew comparisons to Stephen Curry, some even called him a better shooter.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

While Fox had around a second on the clock to take the shot, Curry had just 0.6 secs back in 2016 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The score was tied 118-118 in overtime. Then, Curry took over, and his 32-feet buzzer-beater helped the Warriors win 121-118.

DeAaron Fox’s winner means the Kings have won their third game in the last four games after a 0-4 start to the season. The Kings are now surprisingly above the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers on the Western Conference table. The Warriors are on a five-game losing streak, while the Lakers are 2-6 in the season so far.
