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