After logging significant minutes in the hard-fought contest against the Kings, it was expected that Steph might have a little cautious approach. However, a pre-game warmup video hinted at something entirely different. Demonstrating the authentic Stephen Curry style, the sharpshooter executed an astounding shot from the corner.

With hands positioned between his legs, Steph caught the ball mid-air and landed like a feather, shooting the ball with an effortless fluidity.

As the season begins, the Spurs will rely heavily on their young prodigy, Victor Wembanyama. The game promises intriguing scenarios, such as below, offering Victor his first glimpse of what a championship-caliber team truly embodies –

Unsurprisingly, when the Golden State Warriors shared Steph’s incredible shot on their Twitter handle, it didn’t take long for fans to express their amazement.

Fans go wild over Steph’s shot

Before attempting to replicate the shot themselves, fans made sure to voice their astonishment in the comments.

Clearly taken aback by sight, a fan had no words except for “it’s smooooooth!!!” After all, how does one even describe such wizardry?

On the other hand, another used the opportunity not only to praise Curry but also to take a dig at several NBA players. The user wrote, “some players cant even make a free throw and here he is jumping & everything –> SPLASH.”

Clearly impressed by the shot, one issued a challenge to Steph, asking him to replicate the shot in a live game situation. Given Curry’s track record, it would likely only take him feeling a bit groovy to make it happen.

This fan chose to keep their amazement to themselves and offered a humorous take on the video. The user pointed out how Steph, known for his three-pointers, made the shot from inside the arc.
