Three-pointers were never considered highlights. That's until Stephen Curry came along. Against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, the Golden State Warriors star guard just posterized four defenders with his patented side-step 3-pointer.

Peep how four defenders quickly flocked to Curry during the scramble after the jump ball. The funny thing is, the wise thing to do would've been to wait for the yellow jerseys to come down the court. But when your name is Stephen Curry, you pretty much have a license to shoot from anywhere.

Here's another epic triple from Curry against the Timberwolves. He didn't drain this one against the Wolves' entire defensive unit, but he did showcase his smooth off-ball movement ā€” a simple yet one of the most effective ways Curry frees himself up.

Props to the Wolves for sticking as close to Curry as possible. Despite his relocation, two defenders were able to contest his shot. But Curry needs just a tiny glimpse of the ring to make it fly.

Gone are the days when the only highlights we see are filthy dunks, nifty assists, buzzer-beaters, and circus shots. These days, a 3-pointer ā€” either from the logo or against more than two defenders ā€” is already considered one heck of a highlight.
