There has never been a better shooter in NBA history than Steph Curry, and he’s also the king of mind-blowing shooting displays in warm-ups and practice. Ahead of Saturday’s NBA playoff game — Game 1 of the first-round series — between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center, Curry put together a ridiculous pregame shooting performance.
“This is not normal,” which was very well put by Sam Hustis of KNBR.

95.7 The Game tweeted another angle of the shooting display and added, “Steph’s locked in.”
The skyscraping floater shot for the swish really capped it off.
Twitter user @GFergz tweeted, “I really don’t think people understand how absolutely unreal Curry is. He’s been shooting like this for so long that you take it for granted. But no person should be able to shoot like this. It’s madness.”
“Steph making logo shots with the ease of free throws,” tweeted @SwagPoker.
“Steph Curry is not human,” tweeted the ClutchPoints account.
Curry and the Warriors certainly hope that shooting carries over to the playoff series. The 35-year-old averaged 29.4 points while shooting 42.7 percent on threes (attempted 11.4 per game) this season.
Golden State — the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference — enters Game 1 as a 1.5-point underdog vs a hungry Kings squad.
