When it comes to making impossible shots, Stephen Curry is the first name that comes up in any NBA fan’s mind. The Baby-Faced Assassin has been on the end of some marvelous drains in his career. As arguably the greatest three-point shooter ever, Curry has transcended the game from beyond the arc. His unlimited range and insane shot-making ability defeats any limits of reality. That’s the main reason why many including, Ja Morant were sold when Sports Illustrated released edited footage of the reigning Finals MVP.

The basketball world came to a standstill with the clip. There he was, the all-time great three-point scorer with a rack at the end of the court. Steph Curry would go on to drain five consecutive full-court shots. What’s more, he would do it with just one hand. Curry’s crazy pre-game routine shots and impossible feats made the video believable to many.
