Remembering Stephen Curry’s 30 greatest moments on his 30th birthday

3. 3/4 court shot vs. Memphis

Had the Warriors won the 2016 title, those two OKC moments would be second and third on this list. But they did not, so these two spots are occupied by moments from the previous postseason, a year in which the Warriors did prevail.

Through three games with Memphis in Round 2 of the 2015 NBA Playoffs, Golden State was in major trouble. While Kerr’s defensive adjustment — leaving Tony Allen completely unguarded — received most of the credit, it was Curry’s 32.7 points, 6.7 assists, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and a mind-boggling 6.0 3s per game on 51.4 percent shooting from deep that truly swung the final three games.

What is remembered, however, is one of those Curry triples. Up five points with the third quarter of Game 6 winding down, Jeff Green pulled up for a 3 to cut the lead to two. Andre Iguodala blocked the shot, and the ball ricocheted right to Curry with about one second left. He let it go from inside the Memphis 3-point line, and watched it sail into the dead center of the net some 68 feet away.

The Warriors went up eight, and the series was effectively over.
