Steph Curry made an incredible shooting warmup look way too easy

In hindsight, it’s funny that we ever used to have debates about who the NBA’s greatest three-point shooter ever was. Ray Allen? Sure. Reggie Miller? Also, a fine pick. We’re talking about semantics and different eras and distinctions in nutrition for cold-blooded sharpshooters, yadda, yadda, yadda.

That is, of course, unless you forget about all-time three-point leader Steph Curry. The three-point shooter debate — or “debate” — starts and ends with the Warriors’ superstar. If he spots up from behind the line, chances are it’s automatic: A complete given that the basketball will find its way through the net while Curry turns around and shimmies.

Curry gave NBA fans a little taste of part of his pregame warmup routine on Sunday evening. And let me tell you, it does a lot to explain why he’s a career 42 percent three-point shooter with over 3,000 makes to his name.

By my count, that’s 14 different (quite casual) shots of increasing distance with not one ball even grazing the rim.

Here’s another angle of Curry’s impressive shooting display.

In case it wasn’t clear, every time Steph Curry steps onto a basketball court, we’re probably going to be in for a treat. He’s one of the greatest players in NBA history for a reason. And yes, that treat might even come outside of the game, in what is supposed to be a warmup.
