Stephen Curry stunned fans with a one-handed, full-court trick shot before the Warriors tipped off against the Toronto Raptors on March 20, 2025 — and left fans speechless once again.
He just can’t help pulling off these crazy moves.
The jaw-dropping moment, caught on camera during warmups, quickly went viral as Curry casually launched the ball across the entire court — watching it swish cleanly through the net on the opposite end.
“Steph really just decided gravity doesn’t exist,” one fan joked. Others raised eyebrows over the ball’s unusual trajectory. “Did he just bend the ball mid-air or am I seeing things?” another asked, suggesting the footage might be too good to be real.
A History of Wild Shots
This isn’t the first time Curry has turned heads with his shooting wizardry. Known for his deep range and unreal accuracy, the Golden State Warriors’ superstar is widely considered the best shooter in NBA history — making long-distance shots a regular part of team strategy.
Though some questioned whether the full-court shot was authentic, longtime fans pointed to Curry’s extensive history of making the impossible look easy.
Curry Injured in Warriors’ Win Over Raptors
During the third quarter of the same game, Curry suffered a left pelvic contusion after a tough fall while driving to the basket and colliding with Toronto’s Jonathan Mogbo. He exited the game at the 3:24 mark and did not return. Despite the injury, the Warriors pulled off a narrow 117-114 victory.
An MRI the next day showed no structural damage, but Curry remained sidelined for the team’s next game against the Atlanta Hawks on March 22 — a contest the Warriors lost 124-115. He is expected to rejoin the team in Miami ahead of their March 25 game against the Heat, though whether he plays will depend on his recovery.
Before the injury, Curry was putting up strong numbers this season, averaging 24.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6 assists per game.
Jimmy Butler on Life Without Steph
With Curry temporarily out of the lineup, Warriors star Jimmy Butler stressed the importance of disciplined team play moving forward.
“We’re gonna have to play more perfect basketball,” Butler said. “We can’t afford to turn the ball over. We can’t afford to foul. Because we don’t have the one individual that can automatically get us back into the game. We want our guy (Steph) with us.”
Butler’s words reflect just how much Curry’s presence means to the team — not just for his scoring ability, but for the energy and confidence he brings to the court.
