Stephen Curry makes shots and moves on the court in ways that he can’t explain himself. At this moment, it has become automatic for him. This has become a routine for Curry and the fans love it. Much like coach Steve Kerr, fans are running out of words to use while appreciating Curry’s talent. Unanimously, Dub Nation has agreed that Curry is either a robot or an alien. With that said, the former MVP gave them another reason to be perplexed and in awe.

In the game against the Utah Jazz, the four-time NBA champion bagged 33 points. During the initial part of his 36-minute run, Draymond Green handed off the ball to Curry. Following this, Curry dribbled past the two Jazz defenders and shot a floater. He took this shot over Jazz star Lauri Markkanen who is 7 foot.

The ball had barely left his hand when Curry turned and ran back. The ball went in and Curry was surprised himself. He put his hands on the side of his head and looked down. This and his confidence left fans in a state of shock.

Fans perplexed by Stephen Curry

Fans rushed to Twitter to comment about Stephen Curry‘s floater. One fan claimed that Curry was “getting out of hand now.” Some suggested that he might even be bored. Many stated that they had never seen someone shoot a no-look floater, especially over a 7-foot player. Fans even mentioned that this shot could be more impressive than Curry’s no-look 3-pointers.

He said, “There are moments where you find yourself having to snap out of it, like oh my god I was just watching Steph Curry for a second. You know I wasn’t focused on the game.” Hardy also admitted that it is fun to play against Curry because he tests the opponents in different ways.

The Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr pointed out that Curry is constantly improving. While drawing out the difference between 2016 Curry and the present version, he said, “He’s 15 pounds heavier…He’s ripped. He’s physically very different now from then.”
