This just in: Stephen Curry is good at shooting basketballs. On Saturday, the two-time MVP showed off his all-time dead-eye skills in front of Steve Kerr, sinking 105 straight three-pointers at Golden State Warriors practice.
The Warriors official Twitter account posted a video of Curry knocking down 105 consecutive shots without a miss in a five-minute span. Every jumper came from the right corner.
The shooting clinic even amazed his long-time head coach Steve Kerr, who was undoubtedly seen the superstar guard put on all sorts of unthinkable shooting displays in Warriors practice over the years.
“It's insane. It's probably a world record,” Kerr said, via NBA.com's Steve Aschburner. “If [the Guinness World Records book] still exists, it should be in there.”
Kerr cracked that at Warriors practice, Curry “choked” on three-point attempt No. 106.
"It's insane. It's probably a world record. … If [the Guinness World Records book] still exists, it should be in there."
That's Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Steph Curry hitting 105 straight 3-pointers at practice in Chicago today.
And no. 106? "He choked," Kerr said. https://t.co/qv98egvlzf— Steve Aschburner (@AschNBA) December 26, 2020
(If Kerr happens to read this before the next Warriors game, the Guinness World Records very much does still exist. You can pick up the 2021 edition here.)
Aside from James Wiseman, the Curry practice video may be the brightest spot of the Dubs season so far. Playing without Klay Thompson (Achilles) and Draymond Green (foot), the Warriors have lost their first two games — to the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks — by a combined 65 points.
Curry has averaged 19.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game through the team's first two outings, but the team has struggled to get him open three-point looks for the Warriors. He's shot 2-for-10 from deep in each of the first two contests, and has made just 34.2% of his field goals overall.
The future Hall of Famer will hope his practice performance translates into Sunday's Warriors game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.
