Videos of the Day: Celts beat Heat, Curry’s not human

As John touched on in this morning’s Dump, Steph Curry found a new way to absolutely blow hoops fans’ minds last night. His latest feat? Oh just burying a 32 foot shot in OT to down his opponent. We’ll get back to him in a moment. But first off let’s talk about our Celtics.

Boston got 15 points, 6 rebounds & 3 assists from Marcus Smart to help them beat Miami 101-89 on Saturday. Evan Turner, who was huge on a day where Boston’s starters struggled, had 15 points of his own & dished out 9 dimes. The Celts are now 35-25 and have won 10 straight at home.

Now about that Curry guy-what a performance from Steph last night. The reigning MVP tallied 46 points and went 12 of 16 from beyond the arc. That tied the NBA record for most treys in a game. He also bested his own record of threes in a season,(286) and he hit his 288th with 0.06 left which made Mike Breen cream his pants and gave GSW a 121-118 victory over the Thunder.

I grew up watching some of the best shooters that ever took the floor. Guys like Bird, Petrovic, Miller, Allen etc. Well what a pleasure it’s been to see Curry emerge as the most electrifying & cold-blooded shooter to come along in some time. And the scary thing is, he’s still getting better.

Enjoy video from Curry’s big night below, as well highlights from Smart & ET.

Best shooter ever? I doubt anyone has ever had the same kind of range and I also doubt anyone has been able to create shots the way that Curry does. Obviously, I hesitate saying that because of Larry Legend, but the things Curry does simply seem impossible.

  Larry Legend has always been pretty humble about his abilities and accomplishments. That’s always struck me whenever they’ve interviewed him post-retirement. He seems entirely at peace with having left the game as a player. He doesn’t go into the whole “oh in my day, we would’ve…” line of criticism. He just says the game is so different these days.
  
  I guess what I’m saying is that Larry Bird would probably be pretty impressed. He’s already said Curry’s the NBA’s best player right now.
  
  I watched Larry Bird a lot when I was young so I’ll always have a soft spot for the Legend. It brings me great pleasure to watch Curry these days because I never thought I’d see someone shoot as well (or even better) and as effortlessly as Larry did.

    I’m too young to have had the chance to watch him play sadly. I suppose cross-generational comparisons are a bit silly. Either way, I think it’s safe to say Curry is the best shooter of his generation and the best player in the NBA right now.

One thing I love about Curry’s celebration afterwards is that everybody on the team gets into it and he chest bumps Steve Kerr at the end (in a good way).
