Here's the absurd shot Steph Curry made for his 300th three-pointer of the season
Go ahead, count 'em. We'll wait.
Yes, that's seven crossovers by Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry against poor Orlando Magic forward Ersan Ilyasova, who despite an admirable defensive effort will go down in history as merely the guy who tried to stop Curry from drilling his 300th three-pointer of the season:
Curry is the first player in NBA history to make 300 shots from range in a single season. His Warriors beat the Magic 119-113 on Monday, notching their 56th win; with 20 games left in the regular season, Golden State is chasing the all-time best record of 72-10, set by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-1996.
