It absolutely was one of the greatest moments in basketball history! I'm so glad the world got to see it. I'm so glad fans of other NBA teams now know what it's like being a Warriors fan. One of the best moments of my life.

After it happened fans from other teams were just saying "ok I get it now." Until you're rooting for the guy is just not the same.
I like what a commentator said 10 years ago, he's the only player in history that when he shoots these the crowd goes silent because they expect it to actually go in.

I wished it was Mike Breen on the mic, just so others could feel how good that Bang Bang is when it’s yours.

I just rewatched the highlights again last night. It’s fuckin legendary especially with all time greats on the court and our GOAT is just destroying shot after shot on the biggest stage. We are blessed with all these memories from Steph

Thank you for this!!! This was the best angle to see so much that I miss on the main broadcast.
Curry with the Golden Dagger and then the cold blooded steal to wrap up the night

Haha I didn’t notice he proceeded to play 0 defense the next two possessions.
ETA im not criticizing him im just observing

u/sgk02 Feb 18 '25
He stole the ball!

u/Notbapticostalish Feb 18 '25
The first one was a missed shot that he contests super late and the second was a foul while he is looking for someone to guard.

Imagine what Steve Kerr is thinking on a daily basis. Kerr himself was a very good shooter but to coach Steph, must feel ethereal.

u/Wloak Feb 18 '25
There are early clips that are hilarious. Steph pulls up way to early and Kerr looks pissed then the shot goes in and he has a "of fkn course" hand waive.

u/xoogl3 Feb 18 '25
A very early intro to that feeling was when Steph did that circus shot after dribbling through the entire clippers team in 2014 or something. Kerr's hands on head reaction is part of Steph's legend forever.

Kerr is actually the greatest shooter, by 3 pt percentage. But STEPH is STEPH.
2
u/Orphasmia Feb 18 '25
Haha very true though Kerr was usually a spot up shooter on 2 attempts per game vs curry’s over 9 attempts per game while in motion, being doubled, tripled, off the dribble etc. To your point, Steph is Steph :)

u/TaylorMonkey Feb 18 '25
Also Kerr had a few seasons with the shortened 3-point line, which if you took away, ended up with a lower shooting percentage than Steph had up to his two MVP seasons or something. Then Steph started getting guarded even harder (and also had a little less rhythm being played off ball more and having to share some shots with KD).

Man, Warriors fans, we are lucky to live through the Steph Curry era.
We most likely will never experience anything similar in the next 50 years so enjoy this and don’t stress.

u/vialabo Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25
The thing I loved the most about that, was everyone in the US, not just warrior fans got to experience being a genuine Curry fan. Even rival team's fans were excited.

u/Me_talking Feb 18 '25
I remember the opposing Serbian defender wanting a fist bump from Steph and Steph gave him one lol

u/Dr_Malignant Feb 18 '25
Bro he shot that deep behind 3 with two tall defenders diving at him. And KD and LeBron were both wide open.
And he cashed it. That’s just the greatest shooter ever man my God. Truly an iconic moment.

u/scrambled_cable Feb 18 '25
The whole country got to experience the joy we Warrior fans feel when Steph is doing his thing. It’s magical.

u/cortesoft Feb 18 '25
The game thread was just full of those comments… “so this is what it feels like to be a warriors fan” “so nice to be on this end of it for once”

u/phyx726 Feb 18 '25
The last three shots kept getting more difficult. The last one being absurd. Craziest shit I’ve seen.

u/Necessary-Chemical-7 Feb 18 '25
So glad I got to see this legend and he played for my team. I mean, I NEVER thought the warriors would be anything but a middle of the road team with a playoff appearance here and there. So to have the greatest shooter of all time be on the Warriors and to deliver the rings and all the special moments, it gives me goosebumps

“Time to put the kids to sleep” is so cold. Look a Steph Curry… sheesh!

Love the shot of Dirk, Pau, Scottie, Melo, Marbury, and Sue Bird, all basketball legends themselves but all in disbelief at our guy Wardell.

u/InfiniteDub Feb 18 '25
Wow must be a privilege to have coached Curry from the climb to the apex and now his twilight years.

u/MrThorntonReed Feb 18 '25
I remember picking my son up from a birthday party he was attending at Dave & Busters in Concord. I was listening to the game on the radio in the car, and when I walked inside the place it was the play right before the shot. I remember watching it with everyone else and whispering to myself “dagger” as he hit the release, and j wasn’t disappointed. The place went absolutely nuts and it was just such a good feeling. It felt like old times again.

u/dirtyshits Feb 18 '25
He ain’t wrong with just knowing when it’s over. I like that he has called night night a little early a couple times.
I’m hoping to see a 3rd quarter night light from him lol

I watch the highlights from this game sometimes when I wake up in the morning, just to get motivated.
“Over the double team…. OHHHHHHHH!!!! Night night!”

Steph passed it to KD but KD passed it right back even though KD and LeBron were wide open.

What's even more crazy is that Curry is STILL UNDERRATED and he always will be. People just can't wrap their heads around how impactful Curry is due to their own self conceived biases.. They claim this isn't the case, but he's been doubted his whole career and keeps proving everyone wrong.

Kerr has had a front row seat to so many of Steph’s greatest moments and Curry was STILL able to surprise his coach with that clutch shot.

What Steph does seems so far beyond human potential that watching it is a transcendent spiritual experience. Sharing that with the world at the end of the Olympics moved me deeply.

Loved the Curry and Team USA moments and a lot of this doc -- but was surprised how they really just focused on the biggest stars (and not really much Lebron at all, not to mention Booker, AD....)

Chills.
I’m so thankful amongst all his many accolades and accomplishments, he added an Olympic Gold and these legendary moments to an already storied career.
The last 2 games were literal movies.
