Stephen Curry has a penchant for hitting the craziest circus shots during a game. The Golden State Warriors star isn't afraid to shoot any type of shot from anywhere. When you're the greatest shooter in the planet, why wouldn't you try the shots that Curry routinely attempts?
Against the Lakers, the Warriors star showed off his incredible H.O.R.S.E skills once again. During an attempted drive to the basket, Curry was fouled by Austin Reaves. In an attempt to get an and-one, Curry shot an underhanded scoop shot from near the three-point line. Amazingly, it went in! (via ClutchPoints)

These kinds of shots are what makes Stephen Curry one of the best shooters of all-time. Of course, he has the ability to drain stand-still threes and other regular shots. However, when the chips are down and the Warriors badly need a bucket, they can always count on Curry to pull a rabbit out of his bag of tricks and drain circus shots like these.
Unfortunately, Curry has been in a rather lengthy slump this season. The Warriors star started off at a torrid pace, all the way until his chase of Ray Allen's three-point record. However, Curry and the team has since cooled off from that hot start, even being frigid from the field at times. If the Warriors want to make a run at the Finals, they will need MVP-level Stephen Curry who hits shots like this to return.
