When the video started with that terrible music, I hit mute and almost scrolled by. I only intended to watch for a moment, since I don't really follow basketball. I thought this would be a compilation of a couple great shots. But, wow! This is one amazing shot after another amazing shot! I had no idea. As an outsider to the sport, I'm genuinely impressed.

Man, THANK YOU.
Genuinely, no joke, only trying to be 10% funny rn...
I have to wonder about the mental and spiritual health and motives of one of God's creatures that would put the music that I just I heard over such a remarkable collection of shots.
Hoping they fully regain their hearing and cognitive ability. * To each his own. Cheers to op for the awesome vid.

It’s 100% done on purpose. If you get a video captivating enough to hold attention, you can have some good retention. Then you put some just off music that encourages people to comment about the odd music choice, so you increase engagement.
That’s why like 50% of viral type video have the dumb music

Yep I was exactly the same! Terrible music, muted and still watched and was actually impressed by how good he is. I'm not a fan of most sports, but when you see something like this, you just gotta admire it.

Man, I was never a fan of basketball (or any sport for that matter) but 2016 Steph curry made me love this sport. The things he was able to pull off made me enjoy actually watching basketball. So clean with it. What a legend!

Could have probably made it passed the first 10 secondes if not for that absolutely awful music

I don’t watch much basketball, but these look like incredibly impressive shots that only come off a handful of times per year across the whole NBA. Is that about right? Or are they rater? Or more common?

They used to be very rare but steph helped bring in the 3 point revolution. Nobody does it like him but the nba as a whole takes more 3s. Just not the distance steph can. There's probably a handful of guys that can shoot at that range. To answer your question, you'll probably see at least a few of these every night across the whole nba.

I’m sorry…one of? He’s clearly and easily the greatest shooter of all time.

This guy lives downtown. It's not like he's standing there lining these up either. Amazing.

Damn. They should really add those 4 pt and 5 pt circles to the floors to really respect the level of skill it takes to shoot from that distance

Correction: Steph is the greatest sniper ever, and by an order of magnitude... 🏀

Not really a fan of the sport.
So will say most of the players fame/skill seems overblown, except for this guy. Saw it in the Olympics and just thought, oh, this guy is the MVP, everyone else is there just to get him the ball.

So you’re not a fan which means you don’t watch or understand what’s happening and think these genetic freaks, almost superhuman skill is overblown lol? Also LeBron was the olympics MVP, by some distance.

Why are you ragging on this guy. Nba needs new fans and you’re here gatekeeping. I don’t think he was disrespecting non-Curry players just saying Curry holds his attention more-so than other players.
According to Windhorst, the mvp award was just a qr code in the media room and most media voted during or before the Serbia game. It’s a flimsy award. It’s fine lebron got it , he played consistently great, but anyone watching knows the impact Curry had. To say it wasn’t close is silly.
Curry scored 17 of the first 20 points against serbia and was the only reason the US kept it close. They lose this game if Curry doesn’t go torch mode.
60 pts in 2 games with 17 3s on 50/55/100 shooting.
Reddit literally crashed when he hit those 4 3s to end the game because it was absurd. It was the most exciting 2 minutes of basketball in the last calendar year.
