Even LeBron James goes nuts after Steph Curry game-winner

Steph Curry

Steph Curry’s game-winning shot in overtime capping a record performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday caused even rival LeBron James to bow down in awe.

Curry bombed a 30-plus foot 3-pointer to beat the buzzer in overtime that gave the Warriors a 121-118 win over OKC.

That was the 12th 3-pointer Curry made in the game, tying the NBA single-game record.

Upon seeing the shot and performance, LeBron James was in such awe he sent a tweet praising Curry:

If LeBron is tweeting things like that about Curry, he may even mentally be recognizing that this is the Steph Curry era of basketball. The Warriors are the best team in the league and Curry is the best player in this league. And it all happened so fast.

Curry had 46 points in the game and has surpassed his previous single-season record for threes with 288 currently. His success and undaunted shooting style is really put in perspective by this quote from Steve Nash:

At this point it’s unclear what shot is NOT in Curry’s range. It seems like he can make everything.
