Watching Steph Curry Unleash Some Absolute Shooting Wizardry Will Never Get Old

In the 2022-23 NBA season, we saw a version of Steph Curry that you could argue was just as good as his unanimous MVP season, despite being 34 years old. Frankly, he was ridiculous. A cool 29.4/6.1/6.3 on an insane 49/42% splits with 4.9 3PM a night in his 56 appearances. If you are someone out there waiting for this dude to start declining, I have bad news for you. We aren't anywhere close

How do you achieve a season like that? Part of it is for sure natural talent, but the majority of it comes via hard work and putting in those reps. To this day, if there's one thing I will watch every single time without hesitation, it's Steph Curry shooting drills. Queue the hardos who will talk about shooting with no defense and all that shit, I don't care. When you have a generational talent perfecting his craft, I'm in. Give me the footage.

Which is exactly what we have here with this rather insane make it/bank it drill. I mean, just watch this shit

Admit it, you also thought Steph was going to find a way to bank those shots from the corner. That guy saying "oh my god" as the drill went on? That was me. Not actually me, but me as I watched it. Even though I know who the shooter is and the fact that this is all just muscle memory for him, I couldn't stop watching. This right here was a great example of how someone becomes the greatest shooter to ever walk this earth. That shit doesn't just happen overnight.

There's simply something about watching the greats do stuff like this that will never get old for me. I don't care what it is, you pick the sport. With Steph, it's truly mesmerizing to watch him do shooting drills

if you don't find those videos impressive, I feel like you're being a hater just to hate. I'm as tired of the Warriors Dynasty as anyone, hell this dude single-handedly ripped an NBA title away from my favorite team, and yet I still can't hate him. He's an alien, there's really no other way to explain it.

At this rate, Steph might be one of the few players in the league where you see them making $51M this year, $55M at age 36 and $59M at age 37 and it might actually still be an underpay. Something tells me he's going to age just fine given the fact that his jumper is a cheat code, and come the summer of 2026 when he signs another 3/200M+ extension or something to take him into his 40s, not a soul will consider that a "bad contract". How could they when it seems like even now, Steph is still getting better.
