WATCH: Steph Curry Hits One-Handed Shot From Bleachers As He Records It
Video emerged of Golden State Warriors All-Star Steph Curry attempting a one-handed trick shot from the bleachers during Monday’s practice in Oakland.
In the five-second clip, Curry can be seen sitting in the stands at the Oracle Arena like a fan with his cellphone in hand, except he attempted to sink a shot from that distance. The two-time NBA champ let the ball fly with his dominant right hand as he recorded it with his phone in the other hand. He sank the shot — all net — as if he had practiced it before.

This is nothing new for Curry, as he is famous for the ability to hit from long distance. Last season, the Warriors guard averaged 3.9 three-pointers a game.
He and teammate Klay Thompson broke the NBA’s three-point record during the 2016-2017, becoming the first two players in league history to hit more than 200 threes over five consecutive seasons.

Prior to an 0–10 record from the 3-point line on Nov. 4, 2016, Curry hit a three-pointer in an NBA record 157 consecutive games. He beat out the 127-game streak of Cleveland Cavaliers shooter Kyle Korver that had been broken in March 2014.
He recorded his second triple-double of the season Jan. 22, with 39 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a 122–110 victory over the Indiana Pacers. He hit eight three-pointers in the game and amassed 200 for the season, becoming the first player in NBA history to make 200 three-pointers in four straight seasons.
Curry hit 687 three-point shots during the record-setting period, shooting 45.5 percent from three. He ended the 2016–17 campaign with a made three-pointer in 20 consecutive games.
Curry and his Warriors (1-2) play Monday against the Dallas Mavericks (0-3).
