It'd be unfair to say that Stephen Curry is a human highlight reel.That'd be to Gustav Forsling Jersey insinuate that humans can hit shots like this.MORE: | | Curry's miraculous corner 3-pointer, complete with stepback, fadeawayand Anthony Davis tackle, came with mere seconds left in regulation, knotting the game after the Warriors had trailed by 20 points after three quarters.Steph Curry made this shot. Seriously. Ryan Fagan (@ryanfagan Jordan Schroeder Jersey ) "That was as good as it gets," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after his team's 123-119 overtime victory in Game 3 of its opening-round Western Conference playoff series, . "It doesn't matter how many he mi ses, he wants to take that shot."One Bobby Orr Jersey of those mi ses came immediately before Curry's miracle shot, when Erik Gustafsson Jersey what would have been a long 2-pointer bounced off the front of the rim. The rest of the play happened in a rush, and according to Curry, against a rush of bodies.MORE: | | | "Once Mo (Marreese Speights)got the rebound, Quincy Brandon Saad Jersey (Pondexter)lost me in the corner," Curry said. "Mo threw me a great shovel pa s but I had to get it up because (Anthony Davis)has such length. I tried to take a normal stroke. I braced for impact because I saw defenders closing in. I saw the shot go in Jordan Oesterle Jersey before I got clobbered."The reason for Curry's clobbering: He was never supposed to get that shot off at all. According to Davis, who sent Curry sailing beyond the sideline, the Pelicans had been explicitly directed Cam Ward Jersey to keep the sharpshooter from doing what he does best."It was made very, very clear we were supposed to foul," Davis told reporters.But the shot went in. No foul was called. And what might have been cemented with a Stephen Curry free throw was secured in overtime: an unbelievablewin. A heavy Chris Kunitz Jersey favorite somehow, still, shocking the world. Henri Jokiharju Jersey As Klay Thompson said of that once-in-a-lifetime shot,"It's the closest thing you'll see to a miracle."The shot was Curry's walk on water.
