Not Normal

The upward trajectory of Stephen Curry's career matches the slope of his shot. After being drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2009, the point guard first attracted notice for his long-range shot-making ability. But it was his continued improvement in assists, rebounding, and defense, as well as that of the entire Warriors team, that resulted in Steph Curry being voted the 2014-2015 Most Valuable Player in the league.

However, it's still his shooting that brings fans to their feet. Earlier tonight Steph Curry led his team into the third round of the NBA playoffs (four rounds determine the champion), something that the Warriors hadn't accomplished for 39 years. The shot that broke the backs of the veteran Memphis Grizzlies was a 62-foot buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Steph Curry's feat is akin to sinking a hole-in-one near the end of a golf tournament.....after the golfer took but one second to line up his shot. Steph Curry is one of the league's most popular players, partly because his 6'3" 190-pound frame can pass for "normal."

Except that he's clearly not.
