Stephen Curry Escapes Defenders Dribbling Through The Legs, Behind The Back, and Hitting a Three Pointer

[DaveO]

When Stephan Curry made this one play one TV commentator called it the best move he had ever seen.   High praise from somebody who watches and has watched endless basketball for years.  Curry's coach, Steve Kerr, a former NBA guard has a priceless reaction.

Its remarkably quick and fluid.  I had to watch it several times.  Its Harlem Globetrotter like, only in real competition, with real defenders  3 to 4 trying to steal the ball, block Curry's movements etc.

Best move ever????   I don't know.  But its fun to watch.  It starts when Curry gets the ball from his center/teammate and then moves at tremendously rapid speed, each element of his play astonishingly fluid, one following the other.

Bet he can't do that again!!!!!

I bet he can't either, and if he had missed that shot, there would have been cups thrown onto the court.

Ha ha. It was so remarkably quick fluid, and demonstrated his total control in the midst of a group of defenders.  Very hard to grasp how great it was upon first observation.

Most plays described as "greatest" probably result in a drive to the basket....but these dribbling demonstrations are also remarkable.  The shot and score was the icing on the cake.

Bet he can!

My how things have changed in under a year. I'm developing a theory on how to guard Curry which I might present for peer review.
