One of my favorite memories from this moment is seeing a Lakers fan going “SO THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE” in the game thread. I loved seeing everybody realize in real time that yes, Steph Curry is that fucking dude.

That shit was cracking me up, everyone for that moment was like "holy fuck so this is what it's like when he's on your team" and he was just dropping dime after dime. It finally made people who were neutral or haters truly "get it".

Flashbacks to the '12-'13 season with the 3 v 6 matchup that curry and klay absolutely broke out and crushed that fun Nuggets Lawson, Gallo, Iggy, Faried squad.

I thought curry was going to be good coming in (partially because I was new to nba ball and thought shooting would be valued like it is today). But the moment I knew he was on some goat type shit was she he hit his 1st turnaround 3. Imma let iggy tell it

It felt weird cheering on Embiid and Bron but during this time, I was cheering along with my Lakers friends and we were all just hyped Americans enjoying incredible basketball. One of my favorite sports memories for sure.
