When you think of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, you think of an MVP candidate who is among (if not the best) scorers in the league. You probably don’t think of And-1 like handles and Globetrotters-like passing, but Chef Curry likes to surprise.
He did exactly that on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls as Steph Curry unleashed one of the most beautiful passes you’ll ever see.
With David Lee trailing Curry and the middle of the lane cut off, the Warriors guard had no choice but to dump the ball off. He could have dropped Lee a relatively normal pass, though doing so would have made the power forward’s layup contested. So instead, he unleashed this absurd, fake, behind-the-neck pass which sent Oracle Arena into mass hysteria.
Pulling that pass off in the NBA’s Slam Dunk competition with nobody else on the court other than your partner would be extremely difficult, let alone with defenders on the floor. Change it up to game speed and such a pass is reserved for the true magicians of the game.
It’s been an MVP season for Steph Curry and the former Dayton star will certainly have that highlight atop his reel if he ends up winning the award.
