During the NBA’s hiatus due to coronavirus, watching highlights from the past has become popular amongst players across the league. Spencer Dinwiddie, Bam Adebayo, Stephen Curry and others have admitted to watching their old film while the season is on hold.
Another player weighed in on a famous clip from the past. Al Horford of the Philadelphia 76ers responded on social media to Stephen Curry’s long-distance game-winner against the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2016.
The veteran big man called Curry’s dagger 3-pointer “one of the toughest shots ever!”

Curry’s tied the NBA record for 12 makes from beyond the arc — with the most important coming from 38-feet with 2.5 seconds remaining in overtime to seal Golden State’s 53rd win of the season. The two-time Most Valuable Player ended his memorable night with 46 points on 14-of-24 shooting from the field.
Even Mike Breen’s call of Curry’s game-winning shot has lived on in NBA lore.
Fast forward to the 2019-20 season; Curry has only played in five games due to a broken hand injury he suffered early in the season. His return to the court was limited to one game due to the league suspending the season. When the season resumes, Curry will have 17 games left on the calendar.
