In a historic moment that defies physics, geography, and probably the laws of basketball itself, Stephen Curry has just made NBA—and world—history by sinking a 103-point shot from the neighboring state of Nevada while playing a home game in San Francisco.
Witnesses report that Curry, during a timeout in the third quarter, casually wandered off the court, muttering something about “trying something new.” Minutes later, a drone captured footage of the Warriors star standing atop a hill just across the California border in Nevada. Without warm-up, hesitation, or regard for reason, Curry launched a shot skyward.
Seventeen minutes later, the ball descended through the Chase Center roof and swished through the net without even touching the rim.
Referees paused the game in disbelief, consulted an astronomer, a geographer, and a NASA physicist before unanimously ruling it “the most valid basket ever scored.”
The NBA immediately updated its rulebook, creating a new shot classification called “State-to-State 100+.” Commissioner Adam Silver stated, “We didn’t think this was possible. We were wrong. Very wrong.”
Fans erupted into pandemonium, and Google searches for “how to shoot like Curry from a different zip code” spiked by 4000%. Even rival players were impressed. Damian Lillard tweeted, “Okay, I’m not even mad. That was god-tier.”
Steph’s response?
“I just wanted to see if the ball would still listen to me when it couldn’t hear the crowd.”
Rumors are swirling that Curry’s next attempt will involve launching a shot from low Earth orbit.
Stay tuned for what may become The Intercontinental Splash.
