Warriors’ star Steph Curry has both amazing shooting skills and remarkable dribbling moves, and he showed off both Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.
Curry put up 39 points on 14-of-20 shooting in Golden State’s decisive 126-111 win, making 11 three-pointers on 15 attempts, and he also added eight assists, five rebounds and three steals. However, his most impressive highlight of the night may have been this move he put on Charlotte forward Marvin Williams:
The way Curry quickly stops, switches hands with his dribble and reverses his direction is incredible, and it leaves Williams first going the wrong way, then falling to the court as he tries to recover and catch Curry. That leaves Curry with plenty of space to take a three, and he drains it perfectly. This was one of eight threes he made in the first half on 10 attempts. Here’s another one, from about 30 feet out with 1:21 left in the first half:
That’s quite the game from Curry. When he’s both shooting and moving like that, he and the Warriors are incredibly tough to stop. Just ask Marvin Williams.
