“They do have a timeout, decide not to use it. Curry, way downtown … BANG!!! BANG!!! Oh, what a shot from Curry, with six tenths of a second remaining!”
Mike Breen’s double banger description of Stephen Curry’s game-winning shot in Oklahoma City on this date four years ago is perhaps the most memorable NBA call of the prior decade, and it will be surely remembered in Dub Nation as one of the best individual moments in franchise history for years to come.
As impressive as that moment was, and a go-ahead pull-up shot from 38 feet away with less than a second left in overtime was certainly impressive, it was the context of that moment that made it a signature play on the NBA’s ultimate highlight reel.
