Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the greatest shooter in NBA history. Still, his shot before returning to the Golden State Warriors’ lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday was nearly incomprehensible.

Here are various angles of the ridiculous tunnel footage that has to be seen to be believed.
Curry missed the past five games with a quadriceps contusion and returned with 39 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. However, it wasn’t enough as Minnesota won 127-120 without Anthony Edwards, pulling the Warriors within 13-13.
