Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is known for two things: 1. His otherworldly shooting and 2. His crazy bench reactions. The latter was surely on full display during the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday as he cheered for his Team LeBron teammate Damian Lillard.
Late in the third period, Lillard shot a three-pointer several steps away from the line with Donovan Mitchell draped all over him. After Lillard drained the long bomb, Curry got extra hyped on the bench, jumping all over the place like a teenager at a Taylor Swift concert.
Distanza? Solo un numero.

Lillard shooting from way beyond the three-point arc is nothing new. In fact, it has become more of a trademark for Dame Time. It seems the Portland Trail Blazers star has been shooting the rock one step farther every season, causing others to believe that a four-point shot should finally be added in the NBA. Yes, it sounds crazy, but casually shooting from near the halfcourt line during a real game also sounded crazy just a couple of seasons ago.

Stephen Curry may or may have not gone absolutely bonkers with that one.
